Smart or foolish?
I often ask myself this question when deciding something. Need a reason why? Just because I don't want to do something foolish.
Smart people don't always do smart things, just as foolish people don't always do foolish things.
The issue is, when you do more smart things than foolish things, people will think you're intelligent, have a brain.
Conversely, if you only do foolish things, it's easy for others to think you're immature and stupid.
How unfortunate that an eagle's egg falls into the nest of a brooding hen in the midst of hatching. So instead of growing up with eagle siblings, it digs for worms like other chicks of its kind.
Smart or foolish?
One day while hanging out with other chickens, our protagonist suddenly spots an eagle soaring in the sky. With its wide wingspan, sharp beak, and keen eyes, the eagle is a majestic sight. Unable to contain the excitement, our protagonist blurts out:
'I wish I could fly like those birds. So powerful and free.'
The flock of chickens bursts into laughter, 'How could you ever fly like that? Remember, you're just a chicken. And chickens can't fly.'
In this world, the foolish are the ones who prevail. It's always been that way! They won't encourage you, but they'll lock you down so your feet won't cross the well's edge.
Nothing is truly dreadful yet!
Indeed, whether you think you're smart or foolish is EVEN MORE IMPORTANT. Like attracts like, if you think you're smart, you'll attract smart things. If you label yourself as foolish, you'll surely only attract foolish things.
For a few years now, I've come to realize that men are more foolish than women. Setting aside IQ, EQ, or sensitivity of the weaker sex, I don't intend to talk about those things. Men are foolish because they need more vitamin Đ than women. Yes, not vitamin D but vitamin Đ. Without this type of vitamin, men always do things wrong. They are always hungry, exhausted, foolish.
So, if you want to be intelligent enough to make the right decisions, you MUST believe that you're intelligent. Also, steer clear of the foolish crowd, and supplement with vitamin Đ regularly.
Encounter one of these 3 problems, and men will become foolish, stupid, and ridiculous again.
Ordinary or significant?
Every now and then, our protagonist still looks up to see the eagle soaring. Still longing to fly but sadly never flapped its wings. Day by day, it continues to scratch the ground for worms like other chickens. Until its feet start to swell while its wings gradually shrink. When it dies, it's still buried like a chicken, and no one knows its extraordinary origin.
I want to say that, it will be very similar with intelligence and foolishness. If you think you're ordinary, will anyone think you're important?
We all present in this life are tied to one or more significant missions. I'm not ordinary, and neither are you. You are important, even if you were born ordinary, your current life may be ordinary, or even if the people around you are also ordinary.
Nature has bestowed upon you your appearance. Your parents have given you your genes. Your personality brings you uniqueness. You have strengths and uniqueness that others NEVER HAVE.
The problem is you have to FIND YOUR strengths, find your uniqueness. Attach those things to a suitable goal. No, it should be the important goal of your life.
You have to believe in it. Just like I believe that I am important, I am special. In the end, everything comes to me in the most important and special way.
Haven't found your calling yet?
Struggling with studies?
Feeling drowned in life day after day, month after month?
No big deal! Remember, it's all just challenges. What for? To determine whether you're important, intelligent or not.
Once you surpass, that marks the end of returning to ordinary life, ordinary habits, ordinary relationships.
Because from today, you're more important than you were yesterday, you're more important than what you think.
Think that you're important, even if the whole world thinks you're not important. Just believe so!
Your friend,
