Today I was reading some of Aesop's Fables today and I came across two of them that really stood out to me, The Boy and the Nettle and The Man and His Two Sweethearts. I am going to brag for just a moment, I found how to get the kindle reader for free on Amazon. It's an app that goes on your computer and it comes preinstalled with three books: Aesop's Fables, Treasure Island, and Pride and Prejudice. This is the link to get it, just in case you want it- Kindle Reader.
I encourage everyone to read them, but for me, they hit a personal cord. The two main points that the fables illustrate are these-
- Whatever you do, do it with all your might
- Those who seek to please everybody please nobody
The reason this hit me is kinda the point of the blog. I have been trying really hard lately to do as much as I can and just be the best at everything. I've been learning that this is not the best thing for me. I need to have a goal, I need to pursue the goal, and I need to let things that, although they be great, are distractions fall by the wayside.
If I could tell anyone anything, it would be this-
Be the best you that you can be, all day, everyday, and don't care about what others think.
I know that we all might struggle with this, and I don't think anyone will understand it from the beginning, but when you leave the worries of others behind and pursue a goal with singularity, life will be happily productive again.
