When ten people in a room believe someone is doing something wrong but hide their faces and stay silent when it’s time to speak up, they tend to sail on both boats. When someone’s actions don’t match their words, and calling them out makes you the problem, that is manipulation. If someone who is emotionally weak and constantly seeking attention shifts the blame onto you for pointing out their behavior, that’s manipulation too.

Don’t let people’s collective and selective opinions convince you to accept what is wrong. If someone is problematic, they are problematic—sooner or later, they will prove it themselves.

The day someone loses their sense of humor is the day they start losing themselves. No matter what you go through, if you become unapproachable, you begin narrowing your circle. Adulting isn’t just about frustration and seriousness—it’s about staying open, light, and real. The simpler and warmer your personality, the more likely you are to have genuine bonds.

Time changes—and it sometimes changes drastically. The person you’re making fun of now may reach heights you can’t imagine. One decade you might have everything you ever wished for; the next decade could bring your greatest downfall. Those who have seen it all often become quiet and indifferent, while those who haven’t tend to believe the good days will last forever.

In reality, a day of sorrow is longer than a month of joy. Comparing your life to someone else’s and belittling their journey is unthoughtful. Someday you might end up wondering and crying, “What just happened?”, because life often teaches its lessons the hard way.

If you truly love something—your favorite hobby or interest—turning it into a source of income may not always be a good idea. Once it becomes a way of earning money, authenticity can be lost. And when you’re naturally good at something, deadlines don’t do it justice.

The way some people behave toward customer‑service representatives and staff of service providers is quite poor. Every day someone is seen shouting at airline staff and making a mountain out of a molehill. People who cannot even cook rice at home throw tantrums when they go to restaurants just to spend an hour. The representatives are simply yelled at and treated as if they are worthless.

Even those who don’t come from privileged backgrounds now believe that anything less than perfect service justifies rude behavior. We need to reflect seriously on this—as a developing country, how we treat others reflects who we are, yet we often grumble when others treat us poorly. A minor inconvenience in service doesn't justify a disrespectful response.

When you love yourself the way you are, you may not be doing justice to your potential. A physique can be improved, and so can a sense of style. Looks can be improved, and so can the ability to communicate.

Your overall growth as a person is only possible if you don't become complacent with who you are and remain rigid. One needs to keep grinding and evolving into a better version of oneself to keep pace with individuals of every generation.

Someone who is not good at what you do may have their own area of expertise, making them really good at what interests them the most. Knowledge acquisition and learning are lifelong processes. When we reach the la-la land of perfection and crown ourselves, that's actually the beginning of denial.

Perceiving someone as less intelligent without truly knowing them is actually a reflection of our own limitations. The more we know, the less hurtful our words become, as we grow wise enough to realize that nobody can be competent at everything. A small act of encouragement can do wonders for someone who is holding onto hope, so dismissing them or being cold toward them is actually unthoughtful.

Infidelity has become common today because people get bored quite easily. Rather than investing their time in pursuing hobbies and interests, they look for entertainment outside. Hence, the decision to have a child after getting married still requires a lot of consideration.

First of all, it is not feasible for everyone. Secondly, while you might be busy planning everything for your family and avoiding distractions, your partner, on the other hand, might be trying to establish a new connection to avoid boredom and seek excitement in life.

When two confused people, who are not sure what they want from life, have a child, it can lead to making their marriage just a social formality while both of them are actually seeking newness and variety. Short-term goals in life, therefore, are necessary; otherwise, the idle brain indeed becomes the devil's workshop.

People who naturally look beautiful often don't even care about their appearance. Those who possess immense knowledge and have achieved success in their careers are rarely seen looking down on others. What easy attention and validation have done to the society is that they have made someone who is a 5 out of 10 believe they are a 10 out of 10.

There's a lack of self-awareness regarding whom they are talking to and whether they might actually be less accomplished than someone else. There's no monopoly on brains--mediocrity has become the new perfection.

The harsh truth is if someone living in a hut gets a big bungalow to live without considering whether they deserve it or not, they will get addicted to that way of living and forget where they belong. In some cases, they don't even remain grateful. Therefore, males and females both need to get independent and self-sufficient before getting married so that they can realise the importance of hard work as well as what it takes to provide and buy luxuries.

Our reality--without someone's financial support--is who we are and where we belong. This should always be in mind in order to be grateful and remain dignified.
