I have been facing a "crisis" of misunderstanding for some time.
It's as if I speak a language other than Romanian or a European language.
Sometimes I wonder if I can hear what I'm saying.
Do I - the one I really expect to understand - really understand myself?
If "I put water in my mouth", as my mother used to say from time to time, does it really help?
Sometimes, maybe.
There are times - especially when you come up with a brilliant idea — or rather one that you think is brilliant — the other ear simply sets aside time for something else — rather than listening to what you have to say.
And then quickly a word came out of your teeth - which of course he had heard many times from his parents, grandparents, uncles, elderly relatives:
- Take water in your mouth!
You get a little surprised and frightened by such a reaction - suddenly all of a sudden, when an idea came to you that you think is brilliant and you really want to share it with your traveling partner, maybe you want to see if your idea is worth it or not.
After a serious search to understand the meaning of this message, which seemed sinister to me at one time (because it is never too late in life if you start NOW what is important to you!), I seem to have been able to see the meaning of the words spoken by when my mother reminded me to put water in my mouth:
- Calm down, it's just not Einstein!
You're not a scientist to have brilliant ideas in your head!
Only brilliant scientists, with schools and higher education, who have put a lot of time and effort into learning something, have brilliant ideas!
In part, after all, his mother's idea wasn't bad at all!
She actually wanted to tell me that now is not the time to express my brilliant two-penny idea, that it's stupid what I'm saying, and that I need to avoid being overheard by people saying such ideas out loud stupid.
The problem was not with my mother. No way!
At best, the problem now is that it was with me: that I had not yet learned to keep quiet when I spoke.
I don't think I've learned that yet.
Maybe I need a mentor? Maybe it's time for me to learn to do this.
I think it's time to let people do what they want.
Can I really guarantee that people will understand?
Yes, I'm not really someone in this world.
And why would I be?
I have my life, here God and I run things and I don't need to be disturbed and affected by the words of a mere mortal.
A mere mortal knows only what he knows.
For the most part, only he understands his proverbs - and so does his interpretation.
And in most cases, their proverbs and maxims have nothing to do with you, your words, or even less with your feelings. Maybe the way you said what you said.
In most cases, the way you say it and WHEN you say it matters a lot.
When you have an idea that you think is great, take out a piece of paper and a pen as fast as you can and write it down.
You try your best to see for yourself. After you first make sure it's not dangerous and doesn't hurt anyone.
After that, you can discuss your idea with a psychologist to see what he thinks.
If you like it and it doesn't hurt, it's best to stick to your idea and put it into practice in your life, without telling anyone afterwards.
Let the facts be seen!
It's the healthiest way to relate to your idea or opinion.
And at the same time, as productive as possible.
Good luck, silence on ideas and we get along well!
And don't forget: facts matter!
