People around us think that their wisdom is limitless. Especially if these people around us are our relatives.
They want us to have a better life: they want to protect us from danger, direct us in the right direction, suggest the right decision. Sometimes they are too active, but it is not out of malice.
Here are the stupidest pieces of advice from relatives. Don't take them seriously, live by your own wits.
"Think about studying! Every self-respecting person has a diploma of higher education"
Life has changed significantly. Nowadays, qualified specialists work for pennies, and people who have finished 9th grade become successful businessmen. This is no longer a rare phenomenon. Why does this happen?
Firstly, today you can become an outstanding person even without a diploma. The world is developing, new opportunities for self-development and starting a business are emerging.
Secondly, many students are in a hurry to get a diploma, but not knowledge. After graduating, they go to work outside their specialty, wasting time.
And this is not fiction. Numerous examples prove the following: some educated individuals really do work like slaves.
Among them are miners, builders, conductors, cleaners and even janitors. But those who have not encountered the delights of student life turn out to be smarter.
They give preference to the work that they like and achieve success in it.
These people definitely do not regret their decision. Hence the conclusion: you need to choose a profession carefully and consciously, so that it will be useful to you in life.
Here's why you shouldn't study to be an elementary school teacher if your heart desires to be an artist.
Don't give up on your dreams because of parental pressure, don't listen to the advice of stubborn grandparents. You won't be able to work in a school anyway if you don't have a calling.
Improve your knowledge and skills, do what you like. This will increase your chances of becoming a decent and successful person. When you achieve your first victory, your family will understand how wrong they were.
"Think seriously about marriage! Time flies."
You will decide for yourself when and with whom you will build a family. Are you not ready for a lavish wedding and procreation? Then don't bother your head with it.
Let the relatives keep quiet about the ticking clock. All people are different: some find happiness at 18, and some at 40.
If you want to go for a walk some more, you shouldn't deny yourself this pleasure. Believe me, you'll have time to immerse yourself in everyday and family problems.
A sane individual is not dependent on time frames, he listens to his own desires and feelings. First fall head over heels in love, and then throw a wedding.
"Stop doing all this stupid stuff!"
Avoid associating with people who think your hobby is a stupid idea.
If they give a negative assessment of your hobby, it means they consider you a lazy and untalented person. It is stupid to continue communicating with people who do not respect you.
Don't waste time on excuses. No one will understand you anyway. People around you may not accept your hobbies, the main thing is that they bring you joy.
"Go to the big city. There's nothing for young people to do in the countryside!"
Every person is free to choose where to live – in a huge metropolis or in a remote village. No one argues that there are more opportunities in the city.
But villages and settlements also have their advantages – nature, fresh air, natural products, peace. You have the right to settle down where you feel comfortable.
Financial possibilities play a significant role in this matter. If you are not rich, then in the village you will have a chance to buy a spacious house.
You will live like a civilized person. For the same amount of money in the city you will be able to buy a tiny apartment. But will it bring you happiness?
Do you have a lot of money? Then all possible options are available to you. Solve property issues yourself.
"Break up with this man, he is not right for you!"
It is possible that you are now blinded by love. Perhaps that is why you do not notice the shortcomings of your other half. But these are your feelings and your right!
Don't let your family pounce on you with reproaches and condemnations. Let them not dissuade you or put a spoke in your wheel, it's not their business.
They may be right. This love affair may bring you pain and grief. But it is better to get your lumps now and part with the object of your adoration than to suffer because of an unfulfilled dream all your life.
"Do your job and don't argue!"
You are not obliged to listen to loud statements regarding your so-called "debts". It does not matter who you are - a man or a woman.
Your other half has no right to demand anything from you. Agree between yourselves and solve this problem once and for all! This is the only right decision.
