The title of this article is one of the best, and one of the most famous quotations from movie Legend (2015). In case that you have not seen this movie yet, you definitely should see it. It is a movie about Kray twins, gangsters who ruled Londond during the 60s. Both brothers are played by the amazing Tom Hardy, who was great as always. In this movie he brought ot us two totally different characters, and thanks to him, we loved them both. If you are interested into this, you can find out more about Kray twins here. And, you can easily find the movie online.
Main topic of this post is not going to be the movie, or Tom, or gangestr twins. I would love to talk a bit about this quotation. Why about this one? Because I love it! It is so good, and we can learn a lot about life, about whole life from just this one sentence.
This is something similar to the proverb that we have here in Serbia, and it says "If you have to beg him, do not anger him". It means, that if you need a favour from someone, you should not insult that person, you should not do anytihng bad to that person. Because, that person can get angry, and he or she will not help you.
Same situation with glass houses. If you are in a glass house, do not throw stones.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
Maybe this seems 'not very good' to you, and also this is not the most sincere thing that you can do. But, sometimes, we need to avoid doing some things that we would love to do, we should avoid telling something what we would love to tell to someone. Because we need to get or to keep something. And, that is okay.
I am not trying to tell you that you should lie to people, that you should act that you are something what you are not, but sometimes you have to. For yourself. Do not miss good chances because you are nervous and you want to insult someone. Do not lose good things, because you are angry and you want to destroy something!
What I want to tell is do not miss something good because of something what you do not have to do.
Do not be cunning, but also do not be naive.
CONTROL YOURSELF!!!
Think about every single situation, and lern how to estimate the situation. Estimate what you should do, and what you should not do.
Look, listen, analize, and then after you have done all those things, then do something, say something, miss something.
You have to be sure that you are doing the right thing. You have to be sure that you will not regret later, that you will not miss your life chance because of something what was not that important for you.
Put everything on the beam scale. Scale has two sides. See which one will go down.
And, in order to learn how to measure things, you first need to learn how to control yourself.
And, that is something I cannot help you with. Actually, I can tell you some basic things, but I can not give you the listof things that you should do in order to learn how to control yourself.
Here are some things that you may try:
First of all, try to count to 10. I know that you have heard that many times, and I know that sometihng you are too nervous, but try!
In case that you can not count, in case that it is making you even more nervous, breathe. Just breathe. Take a deep breath. When you are nervous, your brain do not have enough oxygen, you need more. Just breathe. That is a good start.
Stop where you are. No matter how nervous you are, just stop. Do not do anything. Do not yell, do not break anything. Just stop there.
Those three things may help you, I hope they will. Of course, there are many articles and even books that are supposed to help you with calming down. I am not an expert, and I can give you only a couple pieces of advice. Those books and articles that you can easily find online are written by the experts.
That was everytihng what I wanted to tell you.
We all know that you are not going to destroy your house on purpose, but you can do many tihng while you are nervous.
There is also one more way to intrepret this quotation.
It is about risking. People, who live in glass houses know that if they are playing with stones they can break their houses, but they are still doing that. Why? Because of the risk, because of the feeling that they have, while they are risking. They just love the feeling.
That situation is more complicated that the previous one. When you are nervous, and you cannot control yourself, that can be corrected. You can learn how to control yourself.
But, when you love risk, you cannot go against yourself, or you can?
Actually, you can, psychilogy says that you can, but sometimes, you do not want to. You do not want to lose that feeling.
Forbidden fruits is the sweetest. And, we all love it, we want it. It is like drug. You know that it can destroy your life, but you want to take it one more time. Just one more time. Every single time is the last time, untilone time, it is really the last time.
STOP TILL YOU CAN STOP!!!
Stop doing what is destroying you! Help yourself!
Again, things that can destroy you usually are not worth that. Do not let yourself destroy yourself by doing things that are dnagerous for you.
I hope that this helped you to realize some tihngs that are important for you. Maybe, actually not maybe, I am pretty sure that this post will not change yourlife, or help you to change yourself, but maybe this will make you try to change something. I hope that you, in case that you have this problem, this will inspire you to find out more about this.
Thank you very much for reading!
Love yourself!
Give your best to be the best version of yourself!
