I was going to bitch non-stop about an issue from a friend...regarding losers being losers..sigh..but i guess i had better respect that person's privacy......
however it did spark another thought within me..
"It was there that he got the idea to teach public speaking, and he persuaded the "Y" manager to allow him to instruct a class in return for 80% of the net proceeds. In his first session, he had run out of material; improvising, he suggested that students speak about "something that made them angry", and discovered that the technique made speakers unafraid to address a public audience."
The above excerpt was about Dale Carnegie, a renowned self-help writer in the 1930s....
His concepts and ideas are prolly well replicated and copied through the years...However it was after reading the above paragraph that took my attention...even then, i paid little attention to it when i read it yesterday...
Today, after my friend shared with me her particular stringy situation, a bolt of anger struck me in my guts...it was unjust...i would have lashed out at her with my long strands of hypothetics on fear and insecurity and everything that didn't matter in the long term, if not for it being a light-hearted conversation.........
-----------------------------
Anger and frustration.....The primary source of our strength and motivation. Think about it, it is not beauty, or love, or passion.......RATHER, its the lack of these.....lack of materials...lack of beauty, love, passion......ones loneliness, naivete and ignorance that pushes one to go forward to change and put things in the right places...
Go figure!
The same reason why Ari Gold is such a commercially-viable and likable character...or why most anti-heroes resonate with us...
I would like to write more, but recently....the flame has diminished..
because i'm currently standing by the sidelines, sweating over that next big change..
until i get that out of my mind, i'm never in a mood to discuss anything else...
