Taking Bold Action

2/24/2021

If we want to achieve great things in life, we need to be bold. We need to take bold action. We need to make an impact. A LASTING and MEMORABLE impact.

It's a powerful way of elevating oneself to new heights. Of standing out amongst the crowd.

But taking bold action isn't easy. It requires confidence. It requires overcoming fear. Pushing worries aside. And doing what you know is right.

Many think bold thoughts. Few act on them. Be one of the few. ACT ON THEM.

Translating Across Languages

Languages often contain certain words or phrases with meanings that are not easily translatable.

When we translate from one language to another, we run the risk of losing the exact meaning in the original language. And oftentimes we do. Perhaps not completely, but the meaning in its purest form may be lost if there is no equivalent in the target language.

A good example of this is the word "saudades" in Portuguese. This word, if we translate it directly into English would be "missingness". But the word "missingness" does not exist in the English language.

This is why learning other languages is so important. By doing so, we can understand messages in their purest forms. Without the need for translation. And without the risk of misunderstanding.

Generosity vs. Selfishness

It is important to be generous. I didn't always used to be this way. As a matter of fact, I used to be quite the opposite.

But over time, I began to find more value in focusing on giving rather than just on receiving. And when we give we tend to receive. In dividends.

I'm not saying that we should never be selfish. As human beings, we have desires and dreams, and we should pursue them. But we should also give to others.

We should look to strike the balance between giving to others and giving to ourselves. With, in my opinion, the scale tipping toward helping others. This doesn't come naturally to everyone. However it is something I believe is worth aspiring to.

Saying a Little vs. Saying a Lot

Saying less than necessary is often better than saying too much.

When we utter too many words we run the risk of oversharing and saying something that ends up hurting, disqualifying, or negatively impacting us. I have certainly "stuck my foot in my mouth" quite a few times in life.

And therefore, choosing our words carefully is wise.

So don't be surprised that this post is so short :)
