Stop worrying about what other people would think about you, and start focusing on your own self
Hard? Maybe. Worthy? ABSOLUTELY. I know that a lot of people would think that you are born and grow a certain way and that would determine the way you think, behave, your intelligence and most probably your future. But, if you just guide by what other people say about you, you will never be able of breaking that statement. What if people call you dumb? Are you gonna really believe them; and if you want to be smarter than them, aren't you going to do something about it?
Nearly 99.9% of population accept the fact of who they are, but that's not the problem. The problem comes when you think the situation you are immersed in is unchangeable. Try to read more books, invest time in yourself not just in other people.
Look, I know that people that are biased by these kind of statements will think this is nothing but just mere dreams, as nowadays we can find on the Internet a huge amount of pages that scam you in exchange of nothing. But, really, from my own experience, I started to do things I always wanted because I decided to go out a little less, and really focus on me. At first, I thought it was a waste of time I will admit that. But months passed, and you know what? I got smarter, stronger, faster, "wealthier "(not too much for an intern but its better than 0 haha), and more thoughtful about different paths that somebody can take in life my just really focusing.
One year has been fulfilled, and I realized that nothing more than benefits have come to me. It's harder, requires more time, more stress, and higher level commitment, but I would 1000% recommend you to start; if you don't like it, you change it, but try it at least for 3 months. As you see, I am not trying to sell you my product or service, but otherwise to prove you that with a higher level of discipline and perspective, you can upgrade yourself to levels you've never imagined before.
One life, no regrets...
Cheers,
Feli
