Early in the morning, as Hing Shi was walking through the garden with his student, a young man approached them. Slightly embarrassed, he greeted Hing Shi and his student, and then asked:
— "Teacher, I am deeply in love with a girl, and our parents approve of our marriage, but I am overwhelmed by fears and doubts."
— "What worries you and what are you afraid of?" Hing Shi inquired.
— "I'm afraid of being disappointed in her, in married life... after all, I can't know in advance that I am making the right decision," the young man replied.
— "Go home and marry this girl if you love her and your love is mutual," Hing Shi advised.
After the young man thanked the sage for his advice and left, the student asked:
— "Tell me, Teacher, why did you advise the young man to marry if he fears disappointment? Shouldn't he wait and postpone the marriage?"
— "By thinking so, you forget that disappointment is too small a price to pay for the possibility of happiness," Hing Shi responded, smiling.

"Fine, I'll do it myself"
Professional advice: if you asked a man to fix the faucet—or even just to call someone to fix it—give him the chance to do it himself. "Even if your partner has forgotten a few times, there's a chance he genuinely wants to help you. Let him save face and avoid saying, 'Fine, I'll do it myself.' This phrase is terrible. For a man, it means you don't think he can do anything and that you don't need him."
"You could have figured it out..."
These hurtful words won't motivate him because you're asking for the nearly impossible. "Women will save themselves a lot of time and nerves if they just accept that men are bad at reading between the lines and making assumptions. They aren't built for it, and they can't be retrained. Just say directly what you want from him." 🗣️
"Be a man!" 😠
For your sake and his, don't use these words. It's a harsh attack on his identity, questioning his masculinity and his belonging to the great tribe of providers, protectors, builders, and inventors. 🚀
"You're going out with your friends again?"
Don't see this as a threat to your marriage. Sure, sometimes going out with the guys to watch football is just a euphemism for a good drinking session, but for most men, meeting friends is an outlet to communicate as equals, exchange opinions, and share their boyish symbols of power and status.

✈️ Anger and the Girl at the Airport 🍪
A girl was waiting for her flight in a large airport. Her flight was delayed, and she faced several hours of waiting. She bought a book and a packet of cookies and sat down in a chair to pass the time. Next to her was an empty seat where she placed her packet of cookies, and beside it sat a man reading a magazine. She took a cookie, and to her surprise, the man took one too! She was infuriated, but she said nothing and continued reading. Each time she took a cookie, the man did the same. She was fuming but didn't want to cause a scene in the crowded airport.
When there was only one cookie left, she thought, "I wonder what this rude man will do?"
As if reading her thoughts, the man took the last cookie, broke it in half, and offered it to her without looking up. That was the last straw! She got up, gathered her belongings, and stormed off…
Later, when she settled into her airplane seat, she reached into her purse for her glasses and pulled out a packet of cookies... Suddenly, she remembered that she had placed her own packet of cookies in her purse. The man she had thought to be rude had been sharing his cookies with her, showing not a hint of anger, just kindness. She felt so ashamed and regretted that there was no way to apologize.
Before you get angry, consider that maybe you are the one who is wrong!

They Believe Success is Inevitable
It's easy to believe that the lucky ones had something we don't: talent, ideas, drive, creativity, special skills. This isn't true. All successful people reached success through mistakes and losses. They didn't give up and kept trying. If you want to achieve outstanding results, first stop comparing yourself to others. Set a goal and evaluate yourself based on your progress towards it. 🎯
They Make Their Own Choices
You can wait for years to be recognized, chosen, or promoted. This is unproductive. Today, thanks to the internet and social media, the opportunities to showcase your talent are virtually limitless. You can share your music, create and promote your own products, and attract investors without anyone's help. 🌐
They Know the Most Patient Wins 🕰️
Paradoxically, the last can become the winner. This happens when competitors lose their nerves, give up, betray their principles, and forget their values. Competitors may be smarter, more educated, richer, but they lose because they can't go the distance. Sometimes it's wise to abandon ideas and projects, but never abandon yourself. If you believe in what you're doing, don't give up. 🏆
They Do What Others Don't Want to Do 🚀
Successful people go where no one else wants to go and see opportunities where others only see difficulties. Only bumps and thorns ahead? Then move forward! 🌵
They Act, Not Just Think and Plan 🎬
Strategy is not a product. Success is achieved not through planning but through action. Develop an idea, create a strategy, and release the product as soon as possible. Then gather feedback and improve. 🛠️

One day, a Student came to the Master and asked:
— Master, how does a wise man differ from a fool?
It was a quiet sunny morning, the Master was sipping green tea 🍵 and pondering the essence of eternity. However, for the sake of the Student, he set aside his cup with unfinished tea, ceased his reflections, stood up, and led the Student behind him. The Master took the Student to the mountain, to a slope where there had recently been a minor landslide, and at the foot of the mountain lay stones of various sizes. The Master told the Student to carry all the stones to the top of the mountain. There were many stones, and the Student hauled them all day, while the Master sat in the shade of a tree 🌳 reading a work by the great philosopher Da Nu on the essential differences between the claps of one right and one left palm. The Student was very tired, but by sunset, he had finally moved all the stones. He approached the Master, proud of the work he had done, and asked:
— Master, may I now know the answer to my question?
— No, — the Master shook his head, — you are not yet ready.
— But why was it necessary to carry all these stones? — grumbled the Student.
— There, — the Master raised his index finger, — A wise man would have asked that question before he started carrying them.

Forget "NOT"
Be mindful of your wording. Saying "I don't want to be alone and unhappy again" won’t work as an affirmation or might attract the opposite. It lacks the desired result; it’s unspoken and left out. The subconscious ignores "not." Try rephrasing: "I am happy. Beside me is a strong, loving, and beloved man, and it will always be this way." 💑
Dismiss Doubts
It might seem unattainable: "I want a house by the sea, but that's unrealistic." Such thoughts create a mindset that the house on the coast will never be, as there will always be other needs, unexpected expenses, and unsuitable climates. Let go of doubts. 🏖️
Be Honest with Yourself
Ask yourself: "Why do I need this? What will I gain when the dream comes true?" If your motivation is unclear, it won't work. 🎯
Check the Dream for Adequacy 🏡
It should be reasonable, achievable, and safe for others. Otherwise, it will turn against you. As Omar Khayyam said, "The evil emitted by you will inevitably return to you." 🌠
Consider the Wording 📝
When dreaming of a beautiful, slim body, you might say, "I want to lose weight and be slim." This is a vague formulation. How many kilograms do you want to lose? In what time frame? By what method? Understand what and when you want to achieve.

An African king had a close friend with whom he grew up. This friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life, positive or negative, and saying, "That's good!"
One day, the king and his friend were out hunting. The friend prepared and loaded the guns for the king. Apparently, he did something wrong when preparing one of the guns. When the king took the gun from his friend and fired it, it blew off his thumb. Examining the situation, his friend remarked as usual, "That's good!" To which the king replied, "No, that's not good!" and sent his friend to jail. 🏰
About a year later, the king was hunting in an area he thought was completely safe. However, he was captured by cannibals and taken to their village along with the others. They tied his hands, gathered a pile of wood, set up a stake, and tied the king to it. As they approached to light the fire, they noticed the king was missing a thumb. Due to their superstition, they never ate anyone who was imperfect. They untied the king and let him go. 🍖
Returning home, he remembered the incident when he lost his finger and felt remorse for how he had treated his friend. He immediately went to the jail to speak with him.
"You were right," he said, "it was good that I lost my thumb." And he told him all that had just happened.
"I'm very sorry that I put you in jail. That was wrong of me."
"No," said his friend, "that was good!"
"What do you mean 'that was good'? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?"
"If I hadn't been in jail, I would have been with you."

Avoid Toxic People
The people you surround yourself with influence your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Maintaining relationships with those who lie, gossip, hurt, or let you down is costly. It negatively affects your mental well-being. Strong people don't waste energy trying to change toxic people. They set healthy physical and emotional boundaries. 🛡️
Don't Engage in Excessive Self-Criticism
Thinking that all failures in life are 100 percent your fault, whether it's relationships, theft, or an incident in the subway, means condemning yourself to endless self-blame. You cannot prevent all misfortunes. Spiritually strong people take responsibility for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, but within reasonable limits. They are accountable for their choices but also recognize that some factors are beyond their control—economic situations, weather, other people's choices, and more. 🌦️
Don't Chase Happiness
Believing that you need to strive to be happy every moment of your life is a dangerous illusion. Instant pleasure and stable life satisfaction are different things. Spiritually strong people are willing to work hard for their well-being. They don't indulge in weaknesses that harm their long-term goals. 🏋️♂️
Don't Fear Discomfort
Many think the secret to good mental health is always staying in the comfort zone. But avoiding discomfort can backfire. Strong people face their fears, explore new areas, and test their limits. They consciously step out of their comfort zone, knowing that this is the only way to improve their lives. 🌟
Don't Feel Like a Victim 💪
If you blame external circumstances for all your problems, you will never be able to take responsibility for your life. Strong people are accountable for their choices, even in tragic circumstances. They focus on what they can control and don't complain about people and circumstances. 🌍

👰 The Parable of Friends 🤵
Once, a young man decided to get married.
He spent a week busy with wedding preparations. One evening, he approached his father:
"Dad, I have a request. I can't manage everything alone, so please, here's a list of my friends. Call them and invite them to my wedding."
"Okay, son," the father replied.
On the wedding day, the son rushed to his father, upset: "Dad, I asked you to call all my friends!"
"I did," the father assured.
"But there were 50 people on my list, and I only see 15 here."
"Son, I called all 50. I told each of them that I was calling on your behalf, that you were in trouble and needed help from friends. And I asked everyone to come here at this time. So don't worry, son, ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE NOW!"🎉

It’s worth realizing that you can manage your thinking, and then you’ll discover numerous abilities. You can better control life circumstances, improve decision-making, and be more productive. This doesn’t mean ignoring emotions and feelings; it means managing your state with cognitive functions. 📚
You can think critically and find solutions to complex situations if you:
Trust common sense more than emotions. 🤔
2: Evaluate situations from different perspectives. 🔗
3: Remain open to alternative interpretations. 🌐
4: Consider all evidence, explanations, and information. 📜
5: Reevaluate the information. 📛
6: Set aside personal biases and prejudices. 🔄
7: Consider all possible options. 🗓️
8: Avoid hasty conclusions. 📗
Like any skill, it requires time, persistence, and practice. To master it, you need to know what actions are necessary and how to execute them. 📚
There is a solution for every problem, even if it’s just to accept the situation and move on. Instead of seeing challenges as insurreyable, it’s better to view them as opportunities. The challenges will help you master critical thinking.
With each task you manage to solve, you become more confident and stronger. Critical thinking is essential not only for handling challenges but also for gaining life experience and learning to be objective.
