ON EATING WORDS
Nothing's more fun than doing what people say you can't do!
Sometimes being underestimated has the advantage of giving someone something he thought he is never gonna get from you. Sometimes they mock and then BAM it happens right on their face eating every bit of their words. There are also people showing off looking at you for a slight of envy yet all they can get is a blank face. In the first place envy should not be entertained whether you got it or not. A blank face is what they can get especially from people who are trying to be righteous. You know very well that your intellect is being undermined when the answer to your question is somewhat silly and yet the one who answers thinks he got away with it by thinking you are naively convinced.
Sometimes I think that I don't look like what I can do. There was a time when I managed to accomplish a big task and the comment that I got was that it was too good to be true. Peer review followed and in the end it's true. "You're weird", they say. Weirdness has to be attached as a convincing factor. What can i say? Then, i am weird. Fine.
Well, everybody has their own weirdness. Skill is something that is nothing to you and something to others. Everyone is wired differently. You just need to plug yourself to the right connection and not being a copycat to someone who is not you. It sinks in to the teaching that you ought not to judge others. What you perceived on the outside is a shallow perception of the totality. Above the surface of the water, the iceberg is only showing 10% of its whole.
Before you make a remark about a person based only on minimal information, better hold your mouth. Even with relevant information is at hand and if what you would say is not uplifting, zip it.
