They say hard work, talent, and smart work earns praise and upliftment, but in reality, tears, flattery, show offs, and well-timed gifts win the appraisal. Truth is, the world rewards the act, not the effort.

Keep a smile on your face and confidence in your eyes. Stay happy, be smart, and excel in all you do. Hide your worries, lift your head high, and walk with pride, let the world see your strength, not your struggles.

Growing up is good, and helping others grow is even better. But the best thing is to let others go beyond our own level. Only wise people can do this because they are not afraid of others’ success. True wisdom is not about staying ahead but about lifting others so that everyone can do well.

The Wise Fool

Once, in a small village, there lived a man who behaved foolishly for years. He made silly mistakes, laughed at himself, and never seemed to take things seriously. People often helped him, cared for him, and treated him with kindness.

One day, a curious traveler asked him, "Why do you act like a fool?"

The man smiled and said, "Long ago, I tried to act wise. I spoke with confidence, shared knowledge, and held my head high. But when people saw me as knowledgeable they made my life difficult. They envied me, challenged me, and kept me away. But later when I acted like a fool, I realised they loved me, cared for me, and I found peace under their kindness."

The traveler walked away, realizing that sometimes, being loved is more comforting than being admired.

I am like a missing piece in a puzzle. People may not notice me when I’m there, but without me, everything feels incomplete. My presence brings balance, making things perfect, even if I don’t stand in the spotlight.

My presence spark curiosity and competition for others, pushing others to rise higher. Like a silent cracker, I create excitement without making noise.

I may not always be seen or appreciated, but when I’m gone, the difference is felt. I am the quiet force that holds everything together. I'm me, I love me, and I am a masterpiece that all creation quietly applauds.

Never follow anyone or anything blindly, just for the sake of support. If you have no opinion of your own, it's wiser to stay silent than to follow without reason. Otherwise, you risk losing your own character and identity, becoming someone you're not.

I was once a caterpillar, fully aware that one day, when I emerged, I would be a beautiful butterfly. But the journey was terrifying.

I ran, jumped, cried, screamed, and shouted desperately, trying to escape the fear that held me back. Yet, no matter what I did, the weight of tension, doubts, and confusion made me feel like a timid, helpless creature.

But then, a helping hand reached out, a hand filled with empathy and comfort. It didn’t rush me. It didn’t push me, but simply reassured me. And in that warmth, love, empathy, I found the courage to move forward.
Step by step, I enjoyed the process, and before I knew it, I had wings, and I have learned to fly. Now I don't want to fly without that hand. You're my sunshine, and I love you from my heart's bottom. 🌞

I came into this world with nothing, and everything I have today is what I have learned and received from the world. Whatever I possess is not just for me but for the benefit and upliftment of those around me. And when the time comes for me to leave, I wish to take nothing with me.

Along the way, we argue, we fight, we disagree because we are alive, because we are healthy. But once health is lost, nothing else matters. So, instead of holding on to conflicts and grudges, let’s focus on what truly matters being healthy, staying healthy, and valuing the life and lives we have.

Insecure people try to put others down to feel smart or superior, but dimming someone else’s light will never make theirs shine brighter. Maturity is knowing such people exist, staying away from them, and focusing on self growth. No matter what, a candle that shines bright can never stay hidden under a blanket for very long. A confident person doesn’t compete with others but works on their own journey, knowing that shared light makes the world brighter. Finally, one day, truth will always win over manipulation, as honesty and integrity are foundations that can not be shaken.

In life, we meet many kinds of people narcissists, competitors, attention seekers, manipulators, gaslighters, liars, jealous individuals, and even those who struggle to adapt or grow. Being with them can create challenges and misunderstandings. Instead of hating them, try to understand what might have triggered them to be so and what makes them act that way. This understanding will help you deal with them better and replace hatred with patience and kindness.
