Isn't the mute button great? Keeps you out of trouble with phones in school, allows you to hear people by quickly turning the sound off of whatever device, or not wanting to hear background music in a video. The thing we can't mute though is people, the things we sometime want to mute the most. Now we've all just wanted someone to shut up but won't say that because it's rude, or whatever reasons you have. Now no matter what anyone says always stay true to you, don't listen to other peoples' opinions if you don't want them, and find the people you click with not the ones that don't really care about you. I don't know how many times you've been told this in your life, but I'm here to say it again. You really are one of a kind, no matter what anyone says. How can I prove this? Well the answer is, I can't prove it, the only one that can is you. Be who you are, don't be something you're not, there are filters on instagram but not in real life. You have so much power you don't know about, and I can tell you that power is in your words, they can help people or destroy people. You are not like anyone else, don't try to be like anyone either, we all look up to people but that doesn't mean that we should copy them, there's a lot of actions you don't see from the people you look up to, remember no one is perfect. And no one should try to be perfect, they should try to be themselves, because too many people are trying to be perfect, stand out from the crowd don't follow it. If people didn't just follow the crowd all the time, this world would be a much brighter place with many more beautiful minds, but this thing we call perfect ruins everything. You aren't like the person next to you in class, you are not your parents you are made from x and y which are your parents, but be z don't be another x or another y. Be who you want to be just take the good from the people around you, and if you get to know yourself you would really love who you are. The first step to self confidence is getting to know yourself better than anyone, look in the mirror and ask, "who am I, what am I doing, and why am I doing it?". Those are the three main questions you need to answer to find out who you really are. And you'll see is all you are, is you. Be you, there's only one you. Which makes you the best There's gonna be a lot of people in your life, they're all gonna have their own opinions on things, and everyone has an onion and every is obliged to their own onion. But the key is to not listen to other peoples opinions, again we sometimes want people to shut up, and yes I know I said onions, but they won't they keep talking about some person or clothes and you really just don't want to hear it. Maybe they even are talking bad about you. The key to easily get out of these situations are to stop listening, walk away and smile if the person doesn't have the guts to talk about you in front of you they aren't worth time, and if they keep talking about what they think, don't talk to narcissistic people they just don't have self esteem so they build themselves up so high. And the easiest way to stop listening and cut these people out is to find your self confidence, again get to know yourself, because once you know exactly what you are, now one can tell you what you are and aren't. And again, there is so many people you won't like in your life, but will find yourself talking to over and over again. This the trap of the snakes, and it really is so hard to cut them out, but before you cut them try to find the people you do like and like you back. The people that you can look anyone in the eyes and say that person is your friend, because after we cut the fakes out, we do need someone to go talk to, so find the people you like, and the people that like you back. Don't aim to be popular, aim to be happy and fame will follow. The kids that get stuck with fake friends are usually the ones labeled "popular", because they hang out with people only for social status, not to talk to or confide in. It's very sad to see but it happens. There's a lot of people in the world, there's definitely more than one person who's somewhat like and you can click with. In conclusion, the mute button is one of the greatest buttons of all time but it can't be used on our colleges. To keep your sanity, stay you, don't try being someone you're not, don't worry about other peoples' opinions they are rarely relevant to your life, and finally, find the people that you like, not the people you think you're supposed to like because that's to much work to deal with. Those are a few tips you can use to make a smoother path in life, use it wisely, bye. Original
