SELF-RELIANCE
Oftentimes, we are afraid to express ourselves. We are hesitant to speak what is on our mind. And we easily dismiss our thoughts because it is ours. I can personally testify to that because I myself always doubt my capacity. I am always afraid to speak my thoughts for I worry if my ideas are correct or not. I can say that for most of us, its more easier to rely on others than to rely on ourselves.
"To believe your own thought, to believe what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men--that is genius." This line from the famous essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson strucked me most. It encourages us to acknowledge our ideas and to speak our minds. It tells us to be confident enough. We have to keep in mind that we should never feel inferior to others because we are all created equal. Because a man can be truly happy if he has tried and done his best on what he's doing. For if we do nothing, we gain nothing. The main point here is To Trust One's Self.
Sometimes, the reason for our hesitation to do what we want roots from the judgment done by others to us. We fear being criticized thats why we do anything just to please others. We always think that we need to conform to what is expected from us. Moreover, we do things not because we want to do it but because we think that we need to abide the rules of the society.
What we should do is to try not to please others. Because if we do, then it wouldn't end. For there are always those persons who think that they know our duty better than us. Meaning, there are people who will try to pull us down no matter what we do. That is the reason why we should never base our decisions from the expectation of others. Because if there's one person that we should please, It is Only GOD.
Most of the time, we pretend to agree to what others may say even if it contradict our thoughts. We force ourselves to agree in order to avoid arguments. We easily gave a fake smile to a certain person even if we don't like him or even if he had harmed us. We always act gentle and safe for we are afraid to reveal our true identity or the negative side of us.
But why bother to be pretentious, when we can be us? Instead of going through the hassles of of pretending, didn't we think thats its easier to be ourselves? "A character is like an acrostic stanza--read it forward, backward, or across, it spells the same thing." This sentence is definitely right because whatever we do, we are us. Its better to be harsh and say rude words than to be a hypocrite. Yes, we will surely be misunderstood if we do it, but i see nothing wrong with it. What we have to remember is To Be True To Ourselves Always.
Nowadays, technology arises in our society. Many gadgets are invented to make life easier for us. There are a lot of vehicles like motorcycles and cars to make transportation easier. Even in malls, there are escalators to avoid the hassle of climbing in the stairs. And computers are everywhere to replace manual work. We do not rely on ourselves anymore but to these gadgets. And most of the time we see the value of a person not because of what he is but because of what he has.
Having these gadgets alleviates the value of a man. He has lost the use of his feet because of the different machines invented. He couldn't even tell the hour by simply looking at the sun because he relies not on his skill but on his watch. These gadgets lessens the confidence of men because people often believe that macines are more reliable. But we have to note that arts and inventions of each period are only its costume and do not invigo0rate men. Because if these machines has advantages, it also has disadvantages. "The Great Genius Returns To An Essential Man".
We have to insist n ourselves and never imitate. We have to do what is assigned to us and never hope or dare too much. Because every great man is unique. Reside in the simple part of your life and always obey your heart. BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH AND RELY ON YOURSELF!
