Opinions & Revelations
Things that I have learned over the years. My opinions on life and our actions. I have been guilty of several of these, but the key is to learn and grow.
- friends are lost along the way, but enemies may or may not increase; it all depends on your actions, how you treated that friend, and how it was ended
- limbo doesn’t exist, only one’s failure in fully-grasping the consequences/affects/realities of their own decisions
- networking is much more than keeping someone around, as a non-enemy acquantance; it takes work and effort on your end to foster that relationship
- just because one has problems, or is unable to deal with their own issues, they should not project it onto others. There are better ways to provide your opinion, but when it comes from a bitter place within yourself, check-it and deal with your own issues before dishing out advice
- where there is a will, there is a way
- when failure happens: accept it, deal with it, learn from it, try again
- never think you are better than others, unless you actually are and it’s a proven fact; self-opinion (and your significant others’ opinion) of this matter does not count as “fact”
- being a snob is just dirty; if you can actually stop and wonder if you are one, chances are, you’re not
One thing I learned this year….It just pays to be nice. You may be having a bad day, and when you fail to be nice or courteous despite that, you may be someone else’s bad day. Being nice will also get you farther than being snotty. Over the holidays, I hate to go shopping. When I did, I saw people being rude and impatient with the sales people. Lines were long and customers were tired. While I didn’t really shop, I was waiting for friends at the checkout line. I noticed the faces of the sales people. Being nice made a huge difference in their face. Nice works.
