As I mentioned, nobody is perfect in this world. Be honest, the other person will run out of words, if you start owning your mistakes. Try owning it that if you are wrong or your method was wrong, you will accept it. Do not argue, when there is nothing to discuss. Just accept the fact, or listen to the person. So, start apologizing, and earn your respect. They start respecting you more because you have accepted your mistakes. In fact, you become a bigger person in the eyes of others. Bending down doesn’t mean your standard is lowered. Why are you ashamed to apologize in public? What will happen? It is all in your head. 1 more thing, try apologizing in public, not personally. It is not easy, but once you accept that you need to apologize to make someone feel better. Yes, apologize whenever you are wrong or whenever you hurt someone. This line plays in my mind, every single morning, which makes me wake up and start working on my dreams. Every morning I say to myself, “Nobody else, is going to do for me, what I can do for myself”. But you only have 1 reason to work on your dreams. Of course, you will face thousands of hiccups, you will find many excuses to not pursue your dreams. It is always challenging to start something. So set a minor realistic goal, read 1-2 pages of a book, no1 can read a full book in a day. There is a process and time involved to reach such a goal. For example, no1 can shed 10 kg in a day. I know what I can achieve in 24 hours, knowing that I am working, I am a mother, and I play so many other roles on a daily basis. Better shatter them now, than just drag them forever. Be committed and if you can not keep up the commitment, then do not raise false hopes of the other person. Don’t just do the mind mapping or fake promises. Let the result of your hard work be vocal in the world. Do more work in silence and peace, when no1 is watching. Remember, action speaks louder than words. Do not criticize, just uplift them if required. I do that often, but be genuine in your appreciation. Even if you do not like that person, but that person is worthy of some appreciation then do it. Most people do not appreciate others because of their personal ego problems or the jealousy factor. Trust me, they feel really nice that someone observes them and recognizes their efforts. Be a genuine well-wisher, if they deserve the appreciation then do the needful. Appreciate othersĮvery single person on this earth craves appreciation of their work or efforts. Do not degrade yourself, just because people talk. Greet them, because it is a part of etiquettes. Be what you are, and help them when they ask you. Let it be, but do not change your personality by ignoring them. They spend minutes, and hours, discussing your blessings or your arrogance or your positives, or what is wrong with you, etc. So what? How is it going to affect me? Let the people talk, be blessed that you are in limelight. I hear it often, people talk behind my back. Be ready to hear the hate speech about you. Whenever you will do something, which is different from the rest. The confidence you get, when you do the self-analysis is unbeatable. It’s easy, start accepting the positives as well as the negatives about yourself. I say, Yes, You are right, I have this negative trait and I can not help it. So when someone points out this flaw, I start agreeing with that person. I can’t help it, but yes I have accepted this fact. Some people love to talk about themselves, some people love to talk about their miseries, some likes to drink, some likes to flirt, some are self-obsessed, some are arrogant, some are annoying, some are short-tempered (like me), and so on.īut why don’t we accept it? I have accepted that I do get angry or annoyed even for no big reason. In any case, who is perfect in this world? I believe nobody. Even I used to find it very hard to hear the truth about myself. I know, that people find it hard to digest their negative traits of themselves. So, it moved me to write 9 things that make you stand out from the rest. Being straightforward has actually hampered many of my relationships. I don’t praise until I mean it, I can’t butter up unless they deserve it.
