It is not a punishment, it's a gift
It is exactly what it says on the tin. When it comes to priorities, it's always about attitude and commitment.Each and every single "punishment" inflicted upon me enriched me in some way to some degree. It is easy to just comfortably hide in the corner and complain as opposed to learn from mistakes and grind. At this stage, being comfortable and at ease would be the final nail in the coffin. If I could pass a lesson by virtue of my experiences and mistakes, it would be this: You are gifted, don't waste your talents. Mistakes are inevitable, thankfully. You can either dwell on them or take advantage of them, they shape you one way or another. You can get marred or jacked. It's entirely up to you. If you embrace your struggle, however, no obstacle will be big enough.
I got mine
Society is an unsanitized form of advertisement. It is human nature to create a need. But a need creates insecurity. And insecurity leads to animosity. Everybody has his own distinctive taste and needs. So why not fulfill and develope those? You need to bear in mind that it is not about what you have, it's rather about how you work with what you have. These following lines accurately and utterly explain the abstract meaning of the word "society": "They stand in line to watch themselves. For themselves. All for one. And none for all." That is not mine. It belongs to Nathan White. I really don't want to dissect a topic of this magnitude, but let's get down to brass tacks: Probably unwittingly, though nearly all of us prize society above individuals. Still, society doesn't stand a chance. But at the same time, each person is better at something. (Just kidding, I'm the best. Haha.)"At this stage, being comfortable and at ease would be the final nail in the coffin."
No label, I outright own my material
It's funny how people quickly label and stereotype someone. We all do that. Ultimately, you are what you want to be and that is the only thing that truly matters. You reap what you sow and if someone says disparaging things about your contribution and achievements, he probably does not feel well in his own skin. Don't let these perspicacious detractors and naysayers affect your life. Just accept them and don't have a negative attitude.
Talk? Nah...Walk? Yahoo!
Wooow, so many stuff to do, so many attitudes, so much...future, I guess?? Keep going, you are so determined that it sometimes makes me speechless. You definitely are that kind of person who I can admire for his hard-working attitude and I hope it'll pay off. Actually I know for sure, there is no other option for you than getting what you want ;)
ReplyDeleteHow flattering. Thank you for such a positive comment. :)
DeleteHello, self crowned bee king. I think that there is never enough motivation speeches on the interweb. The more we read articles like this the more of a chance we have to transform into you – a pure American. All this determination, hard work and achieving your goal, that is indeed awesome. I agree with the labeling part which is something that we should avoid. Caring about others opinion just stops any development. Not only development of our selfs but also of the society which has the potential to overcome its limitations.
ReplyDeleteWhat I disagree with or just didn’t fully understand is that you said „Probably unwittingly, though nearly all of us prize society above individuals.” Assuming that we come from Darwin’s theory, we all are in the end selfish. There is no doubt for that – we care only about ourselves just to survive – that is our nature. Isn’t the long term goal, however, the survival of species, i.e. to preserve our DNA? Richard Dawkins had something to say about that. Therefore “society doesn’t stand a chance” may be true but we can’t really help it in a way. What we are programmed to is just to reproduce and to continue passing our DNA information. The society will always be taken care of just because of this and however wrong we see it, the individuals don’t stand a chance and will be just cogs in the machine. We may be selfish individualists, who care only about their motives but DNA is the main player who is even more selfish. Talk to me again in 20 years and tell me if I was wrong or if the DNA won…
Just my two cents.
First off, thank you for your comprehensive comment & sharing your valuable thoughts and opinions with me. Given you were misled, here is my further clarification:
DeleteI never said you should not care about others' opinion and I didn't go so deep with "I got mine". I was just reflecting to our contemporary consumer society and how it utilizes individuals. No DNA. No Darwin. Just a little bit of Brian Dawkins,
There are some other things you interpreted in your own way but I guess that's alright. I am just glad you understand my message.
