OLS Reflections Soixante-Cinq

• People are usually attracted to those who believe in themselves. After all, if you don’t believe in yourself no one else will.

• Always remember that no one is responsible for your self-worth but yourself. How you feel on the inside — and consequently also on the outside — is your own job.

• The most efficient way to control people is to convince them they are not controlled. Resonating with Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s words: “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free”. Why? Simply because they will never endeavour to free themselves from their shackles, remaining under control possibly throughout their entire lives.

• If you don’t define yourself you’ll be defined according to others; if you don’t master your mind someone else will do it for you.  

• Some people’s self-worth is so low, they have absolutely no problem in paying money to almost anyone who will offer them the validation they so obsessively seek.  

• Nothing beats going to bed with a clear conscience, knowing that you did your best and gave your all. For one day we may never wake up. 

• Knowing a foreign language or two is useful. But understanding body language can be even more beneficial, simply because it’s universal and extends across different species.

• Do you know what’s the wisest thing to do when someone you care about is feeling down or not their best? I’m not too sure. But it’s certainly NOT deciding then and there to give them advice; or worse, say something along the lines of “I told you so”. Actually, just being there — doing absolutely nothing — would work better. That is, if you truly care. 

• Instead of working on eradicating poverty and hunger, the ones in charge of Egypt have been working on eradicating the poor and the hungry. 

• There is nothing more irritating, disempowering, or even sadder than a whining grown-ass individual. If we have time and energy to complain, we have time and energy to do something about it. “Tout simplement”, as the French-Kissers say.
