Embracing Bad Times ~ Obtaining Wisdom

Sometimes in life, wisdom comes after a great fall. Failing at something sometimes gives us the chance to reflect on what went wrong.

Bad times force our brains to push ourselves to the limit. Analyzing things from a completely different perspective. Sometimes revealing things which were previously invisible to us. Unlocking the key to greater understanding.

Wisdom is commonly associated with age. But sometimes it may not necessarily be true. Wisdom comes to those who has undergone enough hardship and those who has pushed themselves to the limit.
The key to wisdom is continuous effort in improving ourselves. Human mind is a very powerful tool. By optimizing it, a lot of things become clearer. We will be exposed to the bigger picture where everything becomes logical. The previously unbearable circumstances become less traumatic.

2 kinds of people out there. One continues to lament over their bad experiences. Another one sees bad times as a chance to reflect and improve.

Majority are the first type. Those who fall and never recovers. That is why there are more losers than winners in the society. A common knowledge, 20% of the population owns 80% of total wealth in this world.

The question is which one do you choose to be?


The only way to obtain greatness is to be different than the rest of the flock. To completely outperform our peers especially in the way we think. Eventhough we are still young, try to use our mind as if we were 20 years older than our age.

Most people succeed in their 40s or even 50s because that is when their wisdom is at its peak. If we have a much more advanced mindset, being successful in our early years is not an issue. If the controller (mind) is functioning properly, we are bound to reach our target no matter how many detours (failures) we need to take.
