Conversation with a stranger

Peter was one of the people i used to see every morning in the bus on my way to work. He used to sit there and look more active than i did at 6.30 in the morning. Intriguing…considering that everyone else in that bus was either asleep or deep into their thoughts…sitting there quietly.
One day, i was on my way back home and he was too. He sat right in front of me and just said: “People don’t talk to each other anymore these days.”
True enough.

Don’t let them make you feel bad about yourself
Jun 8th
People tend to make us feel bad at times, on purpose or by mistake. What i learned was not to let anyone make me feel bad about myself because they want to. I am more important to myself than they are to me.
Whenever someone does that, i disregard them on the spot because anyone who’ll try to make me feel bad is not my friend and doesn’t care about my well-being.
You are the only one in the position to feel bad or good about about yourself. No one else but you.
I’ve learned this, and then i learned some more….
Things I’ve learned or I’ve been taught : Feelings
Jun 5th
After a significant absence from the blogosphere due to blogger’s block and some other reasons, i came to a conclusion that if i don’t write about the other subjects that interest me a lot instead of only tech stuff, then i will run out of ideas and have break after break.
There’s a lot of tech to talk about, but it is not all that interest me. As from now i will have two extra categories: “Things I’ve learned” and “ Things I’ve been taught” .
I always found it hard to talk about my personal feelings on my blog and when i did it, i took the entries off in no time.
Maybe it’s time to change that – because changes are good – and start ranting.
Us and the ones around us

The number one thing i learned was to voice my feelings no matter what others think. If their feelings are important, mine are too. But what’s more important in this lesson is to be very considerate to everyone’s feelings even if you don’t like them. It’s called being an adult. Now i will learn to write my feelings down. Then I’ve learned that no matter who you think you are, no matter the intellectual level or your social position, your money… you will always depend on your peers, your friends. They make you who you are – like it or not – and approve you or dismiss you, they help you or bring you down based on the way you make them feel. I’ve learned this, and then i learned some more…. |
