A Few Words to Remember

There are times that we make silly mistakes. Most of the time when this happens, it is because we are not acting ourselves. That is because we have lost ourselves.

1. Never let emotions take over
Under any circumstances, never let your emotions take over you. Once you let your emotion takes over, you will lose control of yourself. And when emotion comes to work, it will either do wonders or it will cause disasters. And it is always the latter that occurs. This is very important as the more patience we have, the more successful we will become. Yet, I have not mastered the skill to control my emotion, but I am trying very hard now.

2. Never assume anything
If you break the word assume up, you can see ASS U ME. If you put these words into perspective, you will know that if you assume things, it will make an ASS out of U and ME. So, never assume anything. Find out more, get hold of facts, ask around. If you are afraid of the trouble, you cannot be far away from becoming an ASS.

3. Never be greedy
That is what my grandpa always tell me. Never be greedy. Shall it be wealth, women, whatever. We have to be content with what we have. If our desire grew beyond contentment, it will spell trouble. Have you ever heard that a greedy person will have a good ending? I have not.

4. Listen to what people have to say before making your judgement
We always have this habit of making judgement on something before thoroughly understanding it. Just like judging a book by its cover. Most of the time when this happens, we either miss out on something or we will make a fool out of ourselves. It is very hard for us to avoid having our pre-conception affecting our judgement, but we must try not to be affected by it. Obviously, first impression counts, but first impressions are always inaccurate.

These are the important words that I would like to always remind myself of. I would also like to share these words with anyone who is interested. If you have any words of wisdom that you would like to share with all of us, please generously do so. And last but not least, we have nothing to lose being polite, even to our enemies. Thank you very much.
