People always want to know the truth. Really? Tell me the truth! Really? What people are told is actually very simple… Smile!
“Is that it? I know all that, I’m smiling!” people always say.
“I’m actually a happy person…”
“Don’t tell me such simple things…”
“What? Am I supposed to solve all my problems with this?” they think to themselves.
When a student is told at school, “Go to your teacher, smile, and ask what you don’t understand,”
they may not want to ask and say, “Okay, but there’s no need!”
When you tell a woman, “Smile at your husband. It’s good to be sweet-tongued in marriage…”
She might say, “Why should I be nice to him? He should be nice to me!”
When you tell a mother, “Smile at your child,”
She might say, “Why should I smile? Everything is a mess everywhere, and no one follows the rules at home!” she might reply wearily.
When advising a female employee, “You’re very distant from the other employees; you could try to be a little more friendly,” she might say,
“I don’t want to look like a flirtatious woman.”
When you tell a man, “You could be a little more gentle with your boss,” he might respond,
“I won’t say what’s wrong is right.”
When you tell a boss, “Smile a little,” he might respond,
“Should I act that way so they think I’m soft?”
Humans can be quite stubborn when it comes to being sure of what they know or trusting what they think.
Defending one’s mistake and therefore repeating it…
Doesn’t humanity wonder? Why is this happening to me?
Why might I be experiencing the same thing over and over again?
If a person doesn’t ask themselves this question, how can they approach a solution?
When they are so sure of themselves and the problem is still unsolved…
How can a person expect a different result when they keep making the same mistake over and over again?
Can a person resolve their issue without accepting the truth of their mistake?
The truth always makes a person superior.
A person does not suffer harm because they behave correctly.
As people learn, they gain a deeper understanding. What matters is knowing why they did something. The issue is not doing everyone else’s job, owning a house in everyone else’s neighborhood, or sending your child to a school that ranks high on exams. The real issue is being able to behave correctly.
Yet saying “I know” seems more effective to people.
The way people learn hasn’t changed.
By thinking, analyzing, repeating, and putting it into their own words.
A woman learning to cook,
A person learning to be a leader,
A person passing a math exam,
A child learning to walk,
A young person knowing how to communicate with the opposite sex,
The learning style of a master or a student is always the same.
People get tired of saying they don’t know something. They don’t want to show others that they don’t know something. They are afraid of looking helpless. They want to look strong. They want to be good. There are many reasons, but that doesn’t change the fact. The person still doesn’t know anything about that subject.
In an era where so much information is transmitted so quickly…
When emotions, opinions, and ideas are expressed with emojis…
When there are summaries of books…
When there are pills to cure depression…
When people express themselves in a single sentence in a virtual environment…
Instead of moving quickly, being able to take the time to learn and understand,
And not what the other person is doing or saying, but actually…
What they are trying to convey.
This is what makes a person someone with style in their relationships.
Not being able to breathe properly,
Not being able to manage their relationships,
Feeling bored where they are,
Getting angry about things,
Not being able to stay at home—people don’t want to know the reasons behind these things.
Yet what makes a person human is not showing what they know, but being able to learn.
The value placed on learning is more precious than knowing…
What a person learns and what they believe in is important. The true source of a behavior is related to what that person thinks.
Behaviors are shaped according to thoughts.
Do you behave like the people you love in your life?
Or are you someone who can learn from the people you love?
Can you learn from people who are different from you?
Can you be curious about others’ successes even if you’re not interested in them?
Can you learn from them?
Can you distinguish between a person you don’t like and the subject they’re good at?
Can you seek advice?
Can you trust the experience of the person you seek advice from, even if they say the opposite of what you want?
How much do you think?
What and whom are you curious about?
In a world where there is always something better, what are you curious about?
And do you know?
“There is always someone who knows better than those who know.”
