Learn From The Mistakes Of Others

One of the best and most efficient ways to learn is by paying attention to what others are doing.

This has many benefits, but probably the biggest is that by watching other people, you can learn from their mistakes.

This has helped me avoid myriads of time-consuming endeavors and experiences.

For instance, I saw how miserable and overworked the majority of teachers were while getting my degree.

Sure some seemed happier than others, but it still seemed like a significant amount of work for minimal compensation.

So rather than experience it myself, I got the hint by seeing and learning from teachers.

My point is this:

Rather than spend precious time, which indeed is the most precious asset you will ever have, doing something you see others struggling with or wishing they didn’t do,

Take the hint and simply don’t do it

This ability is a gift!

It should be used to its fullest potential!!

Unfortunately, it seems many seem to go through life with blinders on.

They think they know what they want, so they stop paying attention to the world around them.

This is a colossal mistake though!

By not learning from the mistakes of others you are doomed to repeat them to some capacity.

(The same could be said about history, but that’s a post for another time.)

Be aware!

Be mindful!

And always listen!

It is very easy to mess-up in life, and to an extent, it’s beneficial to mess-up.

(Another post for another time perhaps.)

But why waste time making the same unnecessary mistakes that those around you have made?

Simply learn from them and don’t waste your time.

Look Good, Feel Great!

Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently. People started ...

Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us. It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way. According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience. It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
