The
key word here is assume because in my opinion with assumptions comes acting in
accordance to the statement, in a good way (Crap, can’t really explain this
one). I could have gone the route where the lesson is always pretend that
others are smarter than you are but that implies that per chance people are indeed
smarter than you, you will not be open to learning from them.
Many
times of course, others are not smarter than we are but living in such a way
makes us susceptible to things like falling short because we thought we were
good enough, never living to our full potential because we know that our 50%
will suffice for the puny humans as Bernard calls them to mention but a few. In living life with the
mindset that others are smarter than you are, the statement 'possibilities are
endless' then truly comes to life because no boundaries can’t be pushed which is
what everyone wants I’d assume. Never living in fear of failure *Wait, is fear
not directly related to failure? At worst I think they are first cousins* and
its associated benefits because then one is able to give wholly of oneself at
work, in relationships, and everything in between that these and many more consist.
Obviously
the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Red Reddington, Patrick Jane from The Mentalist,
Hannibal, Neal Caffery, Sheldon, Barney Stinson, Gabriel Vaughn from
Intelligence (Don’t you dare say he has a chip in his brain) among others do
NOT apply here because these are the Greats, the ones we *Me, myself and I*
look up to for whatever reasons.
Many
times, we ARE actually smarter than others but it’s the principle here that is
the point. With this school of thought, we then tap into every learning
opportunity seeing as just because someone is not as smart as you are does not
mean that you cannot learn something from them. How about the way they relate
with others? How they react to different situations, their aspirations and that
sort of thing.
Many
a time *LOL, Olrai not that many times* a yanga man will assure me that I look great and whatever other
physical compliments men give but it’s going to be a while before I actually
believe them because the mind is more my thing. I might not have the money to fund
renovations for my physical person *Not that I want to, Not that anyone will
believe that now* but my mind, oh I am able to do so much and then some for
that Baiiiiiibe.
Mostly
what this has done is make it possible for me to wake up even when I feel there
is no possibility of the sun and its smiley face rising or when she shines so
much I find myself rehearsing my speech requesting her to go on leave. I am
able to walk away from situations that without this I doubt I would be able to
and many more things I won’t bore people with.
What
more does a girl want than to be able to wake up no matter what especially
when sleeping comes naturally to the girl in question?
