Live intelligent but innocently
Inculcate curiosity to boost intelligence not to breech your innocence.
I have an organized and keen mind to learn from others. Intellectuality attracts me. Knowledge attracts me, in all spheres of life. My mother has not studied much but she is keen on learning everyday. She was the first person in my life who directed me towards intelligence. She had a vision. And that paved a way for teachers from all over the world to teach me because I learn and spread my learnings through teaching.
A very cunning intellectual person is loathed by all. Vice is unattractive. Knowledge should be shared, work needs to be acknowledged, especially if its produced by the people around you. You correct it innocently, you tend to explain innocently you judge without personal biases; objectively. This realm of innocence is my patent. I got identified like this at my home as well as workplaces. So I find it difficult to breech it, it is a part of my identity, my reality. Sometimes I try to be cunning, but it leads to people laughing at me. So I do not go that way. I just cannot inculcate cunningness in me. As of now, I also do not find cunningness among people around me. Life is close to perfect because I enjoy people’s benevolence and I get to learn so many things. I do not interfere in workplace politics, I am able to speak my mind and learn from my books voraciously.
Had I not been innocent in life, I wouldn’t have reached not even close to success. Because, my energy does not go in pulling people’s leg, blaming people for not accomplishing my goals. Taking every hindrance as a challenge due to intelligence and finding solutions innocently is my patent. These values are for me. This is how I represent my family, friends, department, state and country. I do not think that I am liked by all, I do understand the negative parts, but overall there is positivity.
I remember my school teachers repeat “Curiosity kills”. I followed these two words like a dictum. While indulging in family dinners, I am focused on my family, the food and cohesive talks with each other. I usually do not peek into another table at the restaurant, except for some vacant gazes. I usually am oblivious to what people are wearing at workplace, how fat or thin they are and so on. But what I notice is, how they speak, what they made of their work, how well they carry themselves despite flaws. What is their conduct on their daily basis and certainly what is their content, what fills them, what makes them not empty.
Curiosity does not kill when it makes you switch off your mind from the filth around and helps you to focus on things that matter. Sometimes noticing what fashion trends are available from your favorite clothes store, what tiny bit of decoration accentuates your living room, which book is new on kindle, should I read it? What is the latest going on in the world, what crafts can be enjoyed, how good I can become with meditation, can I continue to exercise and get back in shape soon? So finding out such things consumes my day. Developing ourselves daily and being helpful to others is where we need to be curious. Our questions should be asked out of the feeling to alleviate pain, help people recover from setbacks and learn to counsel them when they are in need. This is my only purpose to ask personal questions otherwise I am not bothered. People do not like a pain in the ass who loves to spoil and breech the privacy of people around. We should give space, but be well informed, ready to act when needed.
Never breech your innocence. Be curious about the good things in life, remove dysfunctional ideas to resurface, some kind of thinking that has no meaning. Enjoy the positivity. Keep it clean even when disturbed. The person who can control her thoughts has achieved the highest form of spirituality. She enjoys life, indulges in people, learns, grows everyday, attracts good company and truly lives the way it should be lived. Try thinking this way- I am a brand, a product capable of becoming prolific, but being so will not harm my closest people, my family and friends. I am innocent but intelligent enough to calm down the vices around me.
