Be a great mind, not a small one




If there is one thing I have always wondered about is why some people spend most of their lives talking, and discussing about others. If you are one of those, have you ever asked yourself why do you waste your time talking about others? Have you ever asked yourself how much time have you spent on your entire life, not discussing with other people, but about other people? I can assure you, the answer would be many, many days.
There are tons of other things more interesting and more important to talk about that actually can make a difference; perhaps even fells you more talking about the black silhouette of the trees with the sun behind them on the horizon. What difference does it make to you the fact of talking about your peers? Nobody gain nothing when they talk about others; in fact, it is a waste of their time that they could spend doing amazing things that really can affect positively to more than themselves.
So I invite you that the next time you start talking about others, ask yourself first if it is something that really worth spending your time on. For me, the answer is always no. I rather talk–and think–about things, events, or even better, ideas. When you start talking about ideas instead of people, your life suddenly become more fulfilling and enjoyable. You will start looking at things differently that you were used to because you see them from a perspective where you don’t try to figure it out how it may affect others, and you focus on how does it affect you.

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
