Some women have a weakness for shoes. Some for jewelry. Some for bad boys. There are many things which can make us act in a different way when that thing is a constant object of our desire. Neither of above are included on my weaknesses list. If I do have a soft spot regarding people, those are the smart nerdy ones who read and educate themselves. I will always be more interested in a guy who reads a book on a bench in the park than in the guy driving the car/motorcycle like he is the king, proud of the fact it has been years since he touched and finished to read a book from start to end. Keep on riding, I am not interested in just "going with the wind" dear.
I believe in self education. If you have not finished more than a highschool or even less, but you keep reading, being curious, and have a beautiful home library, I will look at that as you being educated. I have met throughout my life many people who had an inferiority complex about their studies. I was always surprised to see that they did nothing about that than complaining. If you have not continued your studies due to circumstances, it might not have been entirely your fault. If NOW you do not continue to educate yourself and you do not read books, you are the only one responsable. Just take it and blame lack of education on yourself rather than blabbering " it is my family", "society is wrong", " I have no money for books (but I smoke)", "I have no time (but I watch TV 3 hours per day) etc.
When choosing people, for friendship, partnership, love, make yourself a big favor and ask them: when it is the last time when you've read a book? Look at their home library. Is it empty, does it even exist? This is a good indicator of their personality. If you are an intellectual person you can't date or even be together with somebody so ignorant that the only information they take is from Google and from cheap TV shows. This is brain suicide and taking part to that will not be beneficial. In any form of partnership it is good to choose people who play in the same league. Or above. People with an inferiority complex and who feel good in their pool of ignorance should be avoided. Just ask that simple question, look at their home library, and you will save yourself months, maybe years, of trouble.
My weakness activated a couple of days ago. There was a sort of black friday campaign on my favourite book site.. And... Oh my did I click click click. Ordered myself some pretty books to add to my library and to feed my mind. 3 still have to come from another site. This month I have been going a bit crazy with book shopping, but I have no buyer's remorse. Books are gold and feeding your mind should be a priority. Choose people in your life who value this and spend their money on this rather than cheap stuff, leaving their mind hungry and empty. You will notice these people by their behaviour: angry, behaving badly with others, insecure, needy for validation, no boundaries, they say yes to the wrong people and no to the right ones, with an overall sense of uselessness, they have no idea where their life is heading, they have no plans, no strategy. Their mind is left wandering with whatever gets in their way. Feeding with waste information.. They exude a sense of unhappiness and negative vibe. They are not happy with themselves and they will take it on you.
Avoid such people by asking the simple question. Some might jump off like you offended them, some might lie, some might tell the truth. Either way, it will save you time which you could invest in yourself rather than in changing people who do not want to change. You can't send a duck to eagle school, just pick an eagle from the get go, if you know what I mean.
Now let me ask you: what's the latest book you've read? I am always in search for a good book.Let me know in the comment below👇😊
Have a brilliant day and toodle loo!
