Saying no
often requires courage. Often the most knowledgeable is the most
courageous. The person who acquires worldly wisdom and adjusts his
behavior accordingly gets a temporary unpopularity in his peer group
often needs to break up from those people.
I like asking these questions, when it comes to saying no on difficult situations
In the midst of overwhelm, is life not showing me exactly what to subtract?
Even
If I do subtract that(defined above), what do I have to lose, how does
that compare to the advantages or gains I will get as a result of
subtracting that and making that decision? How much temporary or
permanent the loss would be? and even in worst-case scenario how can
reverse the situation?
Oftentimes,
we need to get rid of our judgement of other people, not our rude
bosses or colleagues we hate. Its not fault in them, it’s fault in our
judgement. If you have just one hammer through your life, then every
problem pretty much looks like nail. In other words, if you only have
one perspective, one point-of-view throughout your whole life, I fear if
you really died happy. I know one guy who acted very pious to distract
other people from his past deeds, and the inevitable happened when he
pulled his next move: a fraud. I don’t know details and do not want to
litter this article so I’ll leave it here.
For
Example recently I talked to a guy on Quora and he said fiction is a
waste of time(in comparison to non-fiction books). I don’t totally agree
with him. I feel shameful I never touched the video game Dragon
Age:Inquisition for years feeling discomfort from the fact the game was
fictional without realizing the potential, the art and the deepness of
such piece of art. I don’t watch much marvel movies, but I really liked
Wonder Woman. Here’s what I learned from her, often times you have to
ask, “How can I become less competitive in order I become more
successful?” in other words sometimes you have to say no when it matters
the most. Secondly, don’t be afraid to love people when everyone else
rejects. She as a consequence of her close relation and close work fell
in love with Captain Trevor, she also learned to love humans and at the
end she could have forgiven the St. Patrick(The God of War) but the guy
won’t back off. It was clearly something against her conscience. People
often forget that being a superhero doesn’t take much. It just takes
some set of difficult-sounding questions and a little bit of
vulnerability and discomfort. For 90% of people I have met, believe me
they shared the same thoughts about fiction. Strange I changed my
thoughts and now I’m ridiculing my old self(the self-criticism, Ja?). I
think we all have to learn something from every piece of art from every
genre. It pays to take and learn Big Ideas from the Big Disciplines.
