If You Think Like Those Around You, You Don’t Really Think

It is said that this incident took place somewhere in Mexico. In a remote town in the province, a group of men has formed a habit of making jokes about the most unlucky locals in life - the poor, the not-so-smart, and those who live on their masters' money.

Every night someone in their group called an unlucky man with him to the bar under the pretext of having a drink together. The man was presented with two coins: a very large one made of bronze, with a face value of 4,000 reais, and a smaller one of silver, with a face value of 2,000 reais.

Each time with great joy and enthusiasm the man chose the larger coin, which was not so valuable, and this gesture provoked smiles and laughter.

One evening a very good and wise man happened to be in the city with some business. In the evening, after a long and tiring day, he also went for a drink at the princess bar - there he saw the script that unfolds every night. Indignant and deeply hurt, he took the foolish man aside and asked him:

"Don't you know that the big coin is worth less than the small one?"

To which he replied:

- Sure, I know very well, I'm not stupid. I know this coin is worth 5 times less than the other. But if I ever choose the most valuable currency, I will become uninteresting to them and receive nothing.

From this story we can draw some very wise life lessons:

The first lesson: If someone looks stupid, that doesn't mean he is.

Lesson Two: If we were to clarify the situation, who should we laugh at in this story?

Lesson 3: Excessive ambition can deprive you of a small but steady income.

The opinion of the people around

Usually, we do not need the opinion of others about every step or action we take in our life. We do not need the opinion of others to increase our self-esteem and we do not need the approval of the people around us.

If you want to start appreciating yourself at your fair value, first of all, you have to understand yourself and accept yourself as you are at the moment.

Really unhappy people are people who worry too much about what others will say.

People will always have something to say to you, and you won't be able to do anything about it. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT ain't for me either. Regardless of the situation, there will always be someone who will understand your thoughts and words in his way.

But know, when you do the totals of your life, you will understand that your life has never depended on what people around you believe and believe.

Do what you love, not what you think others would like.

If you think like those around you, you don't think, just repeat their thoughts and words. It's not you and your life doesn't belong to you either.

It is said that being a wise person - you do not have to know where you are going, instead, you need to know where you certainly do not want to be at that moment and the things you do not have to accept about yourself.

A wise man knows that every human being, including himself, has the right to think and speak freely. But he also knows when he deserves it or not.

Forget about your distrust. Tell the truth and live by it. For nothing in the world do you allow people to get involved in your life - neither in important things nor in trifles?
