In order to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did!

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here!

There exist different stages, in career, life and almost everything else, just like a tower with different levels.

And every level requires a different key to unlock.

For example, 

Level 1 requires diligence;

Level 2 requires intelligence;

Level 3 requires endurance;

…

Every level requires a different key.

Every key has its unique use. 

Used in the wrong place or time, it could hurt us, instead of helping us.

And it is so with good reasons, which are rooted deeply in the evolution.

Sadly, many people unlock the first level with diligence, and just assume that diligence is the master key — one key to unlock them all.

As a result, they are trapped in the first level forever, no matter how hard they try.

As a matter of fact, the harder they try, the more firmly trapped they are.

Some of them will believe by mistake that the reason why they cannot enter the next level is that people upstairs have locked the door from the other side.

Therefore, many of them complain and become cynical, but never think of trying a different key.

For us, do not become one of them.

We need to clearly remember and firmly believe that, as our stages change, some of the beliefs we hold dearly to our heart, whether inherited or picked up along the way, will become completely wrong and hurt us.

Every stage has its rules and we need to learn, experiment and adapt.

This world runs by its rules, which are deeply rooted in evolution. And it will not overly accommodate anyone.

Therefore, successful people are the ones with the strongest adaptability. They have no time to complain or have their feelings hurt.

Summary

The definition of “Insanity” is repeating the same things over and over again and expecting different outcomes. 

Therefore, in order to get something we never had, we have to do something we never did!

Remember: every level requires a different key.

Also know: every time we notice how stupid and dumb we were, we have made significant progress!

Till next time!

Those Unbelievable and Unexplainable Moments in Life

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here!

Have you ever experienced those moments at which you made a totally irrational (not necessarily bad or stupid) decision, and afterwards you could not recall why or how you made that decision at all? You can only explain it with “Unbelievable and Unexplainable”.

I have, more than once. And the decisions (at least 7 of them) were definitely bad and stupid.

Apparently, other people have too, even to a much larger magnitude.

A Citibank employee transferred $1 billion BY MISTAKE and the bank is probably not getting the money back because a judge ruled against the banking conglomerate on February 16th.

Judge Jesse Furman of the district of Manhattan wrote in his ruling, “To believe that Citibank, one of the most sophisticated financial institutions in the world, had made a mistake that had never happened before, to the tune of nearly $1 billion, would have been borderline irrational.”

So why do these “Unbelievable and Unexplainable” things happen?

I have asked myself this question repeatedly over the past year. I just could not figure out why and how I made those decisions. 

That was totally not me.

The only conclusion I could come up with is that: We are just not in control at those moments. There is a mechanism that is imbedded in us by “evolution” (“God” if you would) and that mechanism is triggered at those moments and simply takes over.

We do not know why or how the mechanism is triggered and we do not know when those moments will appear, which makes it almost impossible for us to see it coming and react to it.

Maybe that is it. Maybe that is what life is supposed to be.

Everyone has his or her destiny to fulfill a certain purpose after all. 

The decisions that we could reply on rationality either do not matter to “evolution” or aligns with the path that is set for us.

We are just NPCs in a giant game. No matter how hard we try, we just do not matter, apart from fulfilling that particular purpose set for us.

What do you think?

I think I need to watch the Movie “Free Guy”! (This is not a sponsored post!)
