Priority

Stop giving priority to others. You should remember you will be alone forever... no one will stay for you.

My mother taught me never to give unsolicited advice, nor try to help anyone unless they ask you for it. I always thought that maybe she was just cold. As I get older, I have started to realize that she was right. My mother is one of the kindest people in my life.

Society always emphasizes on the need to help people. I do it too.

They tell you that you should help people unconditionally and when they least expect it. None of that is, of course, wrong. Random acts of kindness can change a person’s life in many instances. However, there is a flip side to every coin. And it is essential not to mask the other half of the impact of any such gesture.

Not everything is bad. Same as, not everything is good. There is the good in bad. And there is the bad in good. It’s not necessarily the worst idea to help people. But it’s also neither a great one.

It’s not always an easy thing to do. We were taught helping people is the right thing to do. You need to unlearn this popular belief.

"As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

They don’t understand that I have my own work to do. They don’t realize that in order to make time for coffee, I would have to compensate for that lost time and stay up until 2 in the morning just to work.

If they don’t think my time is worth any value, then I don’t have time for them!

If people don’t care about you, you shouldn’t help them. They don’t deserve your help.

Rule 1: Never offer anything for free.

Rule 2: Never forget Rule 1.

Remember, the first person you need to help is YOURSELF. If helping people makes you unhappy, don’t do it....Simple !!! Sometimes you have to be selfish and put yourself before anyone else. Ignore what society is urging you to do.

My biggest weakness is that I like to help people.

I help people, regardless of the fact that they asked for it or not. But you never know when that sort of philosophy could hurt you.
