The Parable of Trading Methods ๐ฐ
An old man sells watermelons at the market under a sign that reads,
"One watermelon - 3 dollars. Three watermelons - 10 dollars." ๐
A man approaches and buys one watermelon for three dollars...
then another watermelon for three dollars...
then yet another watermelon for three dollars...
and as he leaves, he joyfully says to the seller,
"Look, I bought three watermelons and only paid 9 dollars! You don't know how to trade!"
The old man watches him go and remarks,
"And that's how it always goes - they take three watermelons instead of one, and then teach me about commerce..."๐ฐ

Attracting anyone to yourself๐ค
Accept people as they are.
Accepting another means not judging them. Feel the difference between "accepting" and "praising" - these are different things. Praise is always pleasant, but it's based on an evaluation system. And by praising today, you might criticize tomorrow.๐
Minimize categorization.
People tend to divide everything into black and white. This helps to navigate in space and in life, make firm decisions, and not doubt oneself. But it's important to differentiate between the ability to independently and responsibly make choices and the desire to judge everyone and everything as "bad" or "good."
It's important to remember that any evaluation is subjective and carries the life experience, worldview, and character of the person making the judgment.๐ค
Unite with others in positivity.
Coming together with others on a positive basis is a powerful tool for building strong friendships and partnerships. For example, "We were assigned to lead this project together for a reason; you and I are strong professionals, and together we'll make an amazing product." This is an example of uniting on a positive basis.
In contrast, I'll give an example of uniting on a negative basis: "We were given this project because only you and I work tirelessly in this company for a meager salary; we've found two reliable people and they're taking advantage of us." Feel the difference? The examples speak for themselves.๐ค

Reality ๐ณ
Not far from the road stood a small dried-up tree. ๐ฃ๏ธ
In the evening, along the road, a mother passed by with her child. The little one, frightened by scary tales, thought there was a ghost by the road. He got scared and burst into loud tears.๐ข
Later, a young man walked along this road. He noticed the graceful silhouette from afar and thought that his beloved had been waiting for him for a long time. His heart beat joyfully. He smiled and quickened his pace.๐
Later, at night, a thief passed by. He saw the silhouette in the distance and thought it was a policeman standing by the road. He got scared and ran away.๐ฑ
But the tree always remained just a tree! ๐ณ
The world around us is a reflection of ourselves. ๐

Ways to develop empathy ๐
Being empathetic enriches relationships with others. When we understand the feelings of those around us, we can establish a deeper connection with them. Our conversation partner will definitely feel that we accept them for who they are. โค๏ธ
When asking someone how they are, pay close attention to their response - both verbal and non-verbal. Body language and tone of voice often speak louder than words.๐ค
Listen not only with your mind but also with your heart, trust your intuition. Empathy is soul work.๐
Focus on the conversation, avoid multitasking. Put your phone aside, make eye contact, adopt an open posture (don't cross your arms).๐ฑ
Try to understand what your conversation partner's words and feelings mean to them, and allow them to come to their own conclusion without imposing your opinion.๐ค
Don't shift the focus onto yourself, for example, by telling how you would act in a similar situation.๐ซ
Remember that you can take your conversation partner's opinion seriously and respectfully, even if you disagree with them.๐
Cultivate curiosity about people. Try to imagine someone's past experiences, think about how they came to their current habits and way of life, what they want most. In other words, try to put yourself in their shoes.๐ค
Engage in conversations with strangers, for example, in line at the store. Be curious, try to learn something new. ๐ฅ
Train yourself to be less self-absorbed and pay more attention to the immediate surroundings: people, buildings, cars, parks, sounds. Imagine yourself as a detective gathering information. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ

The Parable of Learning ๐
Once, a young man came to an old but highly respected person and asked for permission to learn from him.๐ง๐ปโ๐
"Why do you need this?" asked the old man.๐ค
"I want to become strong and unbeatable," replied the youth.๐ช๐ผ
"Then become it! Be kind to everyone, polite, and attentive. Kindness and politeness will earn you the respect of others. Your spirit will become pure and kind, thus, strong. Being attentive will help you notice the subtle changes. You will have the opportunity to find the right path to avoid conflict, thus, winning the battle without engaging in it. And if you learn to prevent conflicts, you will become unbeatable."๐
"Why?" inquired the youth. ๐คจ
"Because you won't have anyone to fight with," replied the wise man. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
The young man left. It was a long time before he came back to the wise man again.โณ
"What do you need?" asked the old man. ๐ฐ๏ธ
"I came to inquire about your health and to see if you needed any assistance..." said the youth. ๐คฒ๐ผ
The old man smiled.๐
"What did you really want? To become strong and unbeatable? Alright, I will teach you that!" ๐

Reasons why you are still unhappy๐
You are not living in the present moment.
We constantly think about what we need to do tomorrow or the day after. Or next month. And we completely stop understanding what we are doing right now, in this very moment. Sometimes we cannot focus on what is happening. Learn to live in the moment, not just with long-term plans.โณ
You are focused on your five-year plan.
Forget for a while what you wrote on the "My plan for the next five years" page, following it constantly is not only detrimental to self-esteem but also to mental health. No one knows exactly what will happen in five years โ these are just guidelines you move by, but not the true path. ๐ค๏ธ
You only think about what you have not achieved yet.
If you completely forget what you already have at this stage, you simply cannot see how wonderful life is. Be proud of yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. Learn to rejoice not only in the end goal but also in the path you take to achieve it.๐
You are in toxic relationships.
You are too smart and self-sufficient to surround yourself with people who do not value you at all. It's very hard to say goodbye to friends and acquaintances, but believe me, as soon as you get rid of toxic relationships, you will feel like you've lifted an incredibly heavy burden off your shoulders. โฎ๏ธ
Hopelessly in love with exes.
It's been several years since you broke up, but for some reason, you still can't get rid of memories of your ex. Learn lessons and move on. Your task is to work on yourself and self-esteem, and only then build new relationships.๐
When working, you only think about money, not about what you enjoy.
Simple truth: money cannot buy happiness. Even if you feel on top of the world in a new position for a while, know that it is all fleeting. If you hate what you do, no amount of money will help you love it.๐ผ

The Tale of the Genie, Secretary, Manager, and Director ๐งโโ๏ธ
The director invited the manager and the secretary to lunch together to celebrate a major deal. He ordered the most expensive wine from the old cellars. When they opened the old bottle, out flew a genie. ๐ท
And the genie offered three legal wishes to their saviors. One wish for each.โจ
"I'm first, I'm first!" squealed the secretary and promptly demanded, "I want to be on the Bahamas right now, in a warm lagoon, not thinking about anything." ๐ผ
Poof! She vanished.
"Now it's my turn!" declared the sales representative loudly. "I want to be in Hawaii, lounging on the beach, with massages, an endless supply of piรฑa coladas, and the love of my life."๐๏ธ
Poof! He disappeared.
"Now it's your turn," said the genie to the director.
"I want those two back in the office after lunch," said the director, starting on his salad.๐

Different signs indicate emotional and mental exhaustion. If you recognize yourself, it's time to stop and take a pause.
Getting irritated over trivial matters is the first sign of emotional burnout. Snapping, growling, snapping at people, losing your cool - if that sounds like you, you're completely drained, give yourself a break.
If nothing seems appealing and it's a struggle to get out of bed and make it to work - your mental strength is running low. It's urgent to focus on yourself. Rethink your outlook on life, find a point of reference. Don't just go with the flow, take control and steer the circumstances.
Sleepless nights happen to everyone. Most likely, intrusive thoughts prevent relaxation, something's bothering you, but this can be overcome. Try meditation or consult a doctor.
Anxiety tortures, paralyzes, and leads to despair. If anxiety attacks happen too often, don't suffer in silence. Try to avoid stress whenever possible, ask for help. Talk to trusted people, find a therapist - you'll get through it.
It's natural for people to withdraw after losses and strong shocks. When someone feels bad, they seem to freeze and become insensitive. There's nothing strange about it; it's how the protective mechanism works, helping to survive severe traumas. It's easier to block pain than to feel it. If this happens, try to understand yourself. Understanding what the pain and sadness are related to is the first step to a normal life.

During the peak of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln spoke of Southerners as neighbors, as human beings who were misguided. An elderly lady condemned him:
"How can you say such a thing? They are our implacable enemies who need to be destroyed!!!"
"Think about it, madam," Lincoln replied, "am I not destroying my enemies when I make them my friends?"
