🍨 The Boy and the Waitress 🍨

👦 A ten-year-old boy walked into a café and sat at a table. A waitress approached him.

💬 "How much is the chocolate ice cream with nuts?" the boy asked.

💁‍♀️ "Fifty cents," the woman replied.

👦 The boy reached into his pocket and counted his coins.

💬 "How much is the plain ice cream, without anything?" the child asked.

👥 Some customers waited at their tables, the waitress started showing signs of annoyance.

💁‍♀️ "Twenty-five cents," she curtly replied.

👦 The boy counted his coins again.

💬 "I'll have the plain ice cream," he decided.

The waitress brought the ice cream, dropped the bill on the table, and walked away. The boy finished his ice cream, paid the bill at the counter, and left.

When the waitress returned to clear the table, she felt a lump in her throat - she saw neatly stacked coins next to the empty bowl, twenty-five cents. Her tip.

👀 Never judge a person until you see their actions.

🌟 How to Stop Being Unhappy 🌟

The first step towards enjoying life is to stop poisoning it for yourself.
🌈 A happy life is a building with three dimensions: material, interpersonal, and emotional. In other words, to be a happy person, you need to achieve your goals while maintaining a good reputation and relationships with people, without sacrificing your inner harmony. 🏡

Decide that things are going well for you 🌻
It's not that simple. As the famous French philosopher Alain wrote: "One must want to be happy and make efforts towards it. Standing as an impartial observer with the doors wide open, waiting for happiness to enter, will only invite sadness." It's always easier to succumb to unhappiness—it requires less psychological energy. To prolong well-being, on the other hand, takes effort. Generally, people differ in how capable they are of feeling happy, but some factors are common to all humanity: it seems that evolution favors the development of negative emotions, as they increase the chances of survival of the species. 🧬

Don’t allow yourself to be sad for too long 🚫
Since negative emotions only occur occasionally, are short-lived, and do not disrupt our daily life too much, one might expect them to pass on their own. However, flirting with misery, as was customary among the Romantics of the 19th century, is unsafe, and today psychology is beginning to better understand this risk. 💔

Savor moments of happiness 😊
The best (and most enjoyable) weapon against unhappiness is to derive as much pleasure as possible from the happy moments that fate gives us. A superb vaccine against feeling miserable is to enjoy happiness, striving to make this feeling stronger, more powerful, and vivid. 🎉

💰 The Indian in the Bank 💰

An old Indian walked into the bank and asked for a loan of $500. The bank employee began processing the paperwork.

"What are you going to do with this money?" he asked the Indian.

"I will go to the city to sell the jewelry I made."

"What do you have for collateral?"

"I don't know what 'collateral' is," the Indian said.

"Well, collateral is something of value that can cover the cost of the loan. Do you have a car?"

"Yes - a 1949 pickup truck."

"No, that won't do," the bank employee said. "Maybe you have livestock?"

"Yes, I have a horse."

"How old is it?"

"I don't know, she has no teeth left to determine."

Eventually, the Indian was granted the loan and given $500.

💼 A few weeks later, the Indian returned to the bank, pulled out a stack of money. He counted out what was owed to the bank and hid the rest.

"What are you going to do with the rest of the money?" the same employee asked.

"I'll put it in my wigwam," the Indian replied.

"You can make a deposit in our bank."

"I don't know what a 'deposit' is," the Indian replied.

"Well, you give your money to the bank, the bank takes care of it, and when you need the money, you can take it."

The old Indian thought for a moment and asked:

"Does the bank have anything to give me as collateral?"💰

🔄 How to Start a New Career if You No Longer Enjoy Your Current One 🌟

Reasons
-Shifting Focus. You discover a new exciting activity that you want to dedicate a large part of your life to. 🎯
-Workplace Issues. You are not achieving results or finding satisfaction at work. 😕
-Achieved Everything Possible. You have done everything you can in your field. 🏆

What to Expect When Changing Professions?
-New Acquaintances. Ask about how they spend their days, whether they are satisfied with their profession, and what goals they have. Then, based on the feedback received, conclude: is it really what you dream about? 🤝
-Safety Net. Sometimes things build up so much that you want to resign immediately and rush into a new field. However, I recommend not giving in to emotions unless you are sure of your financial independence. 💼
-Valuable Experience. Often, we fear changing professions, worrying about the invaluable experience we've accumulated in our area. You'll be surprised, but many skills will be useful, even if it seems like you are starting something completely new. 💡

🧠 Exercises to Develop Mental Flexibility 📝

If you try some of these exercises, take time to analyze the new experience. It’s helpful to make notes or keep a journal. An experience that seemed meaningless at first may impress on a second attempt. Repetition adds depth and strength. Sometimes, only repeated practice leads to insights and mastery.

Start Teaching 📚
A great way to strengthen your "beginner's mind" is to discuss what you know well with people who are completely unfamiliar with it, or even start teaching them. This could be colleagues who are new to the profession or just friends.

A Clean House is a Clear Mind 🏠
Cleaning your house symbolically frees up space for mental clarity. You also see (literally and metaphorically) how much useless or unused clutter (beliefs, biases) has accumulated. Clearing out the old frees up space for the new.

Be Socrates and Start Doubting 🤔
Socrates was famous for his habit of asking questions and his motto "I know that I know nothing." Pick a low-risk situation (not filling out tax forms) and try not to answer questions immediately; pause for a few moments each time to think about the question. Approach each question with genuine ignorance. Treat it like a piece of food—don't just swallow it; chew it thoroughly.

Play Sherlock Holmes 🔍
Choose a familiar place—your room, the usual route (e.g., from home to work). Turn into Sherlock Holmes investigating a crime scene, or an anthropologist studying the habitat of an unknown tribe. Slowly, carefully look at everything around you. Note textures and details, view everything from different positions, carefully observing.
Engage all your senses. You'll notice a temptation to skip the most familiar items, so assume everything here is new to you. Look at how labels prevent understanding objects. This experiment sharpens the senses and helps develop observational skills.
