My Creative Way of Looking on the World
Another important lesson that everyone has to learn is to face criticism. It is not very likely that a person could be praised for every single thing they do, quite the opposite – they will be judged by the society. One of my old volleyball coaches told me and my co-players, ‘Even if you will win The Olympic Games, I will never think that you are the best player in the world.’ Somehow I have always remembered this quote and it actually makes a lot of sense. He taught us not to get too overconfident and said we could always improve. It is very important to continue working and learning after a small success to get even better in the future. Even if I don’t play volleyball professionally anymore, I still live by this quote and try not to give up easily.…
We all have had situations where we would give up and do something else rather than finish what we have started, right? The thing is, not everyone has the nerve and patience. As example it can be even children that are still feeling sleepy and cannot focus on learning until the end of the second lesson. Everyone likes not to think too hard or find the easiest ways to do the things, but is that really the best option? According to a recent study, only 8% of people achieve their goals in their lives which leads me to a question – do we really have to shatter our long wished dreams already? Definitely and absolutely no! I have learned that putting a little more effort than usual will make a significant improvement for sure. For example, I’ve been told by many that I’d never learn to play a music instrument on my own. Yet here I am – able to play certain songs on my ukulele and piano. Of course it wasn’t easy, it was even a bit complicated since no-one in my family plays a music instrument. I had no-one to turn to for an advice, however I took my time and did it. There are thousands of ‘youtube’ tutorials for every single music instrument so why don’t you start learning one by yourself?
