IF AN ACTIVELY USING HEROIN ADDICT OR ALCOHOLIC TELLS US TO NOT START SHOOTING HEROIN OR DRINKING ALCOHOL, WE TEND TO DISMISS HIM/HER AND HIS/HER ADVICE (i.e., what does s/he know…s/he can’t even follow her/his own advice). IF THAT SAME ADDICT GETS CLEAN AND SOBER, AND BECOMES A DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHABILITATION COUNSELOR, NOW S/HE HAS GRAVITAS BEHIND THAT SAME EXACT ADVICE.
Listen to the wisdom, then extract the message or the lesson. Decided the value, importance, and applicability of the message or the lesson without being distracted by the messenger. Charles Tadros, M.D. November 10, 2022 Saint Louis, Missouri
OCCASIONALLY WE HAVE TO HAVE A PROPER FUNERAL, PAY OUR RESPECTS, AND LAY TO REST, THE WISE ADVICE FROM OTHERS, AS WELL AS FOR OUR OWN INSIGHTFUL EXPERIENCES, PERCEPTIONS, AND WELL THOUGH-OUT ASSUMPTIONS, WHEN ANY OFF THESE ARE NO LONGER HELPFUL IN IMPROVING, OR RESOLVING OUR CURRENT PROBLEMS.
It is so important for us to be able to properly let go (of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, experiences) in order for us to be able to move on. Glean truths and applicable advice from others as well as our own wisdom, but don’t be married to these if they do not unstick us or helpContinue reading “OCCASIONALLY WE HAVE TO HAVE A PROPER FUNERAL, PAY OUR RESPECTS, AND LAY TO REST, THE WISE ADVICE FROM OTHERS, AS WELL AS FOR OUR OWN INSIGHTFUL EXPERIENCES, PERCEPTIONS, AND WELL THOUGH-OUT ASSUMPTIONS, WHEN ANY OFF THESE ARE NO LONGER HELPFUL IN IMPROVING, OR RESOLVING OUR CURRENT PROBLEMS.”
OFTEN, WE ARE NOT READY TO HEAR HELPFUL WISDOM, NEEDED ADVICE, OR PERTINENT INSIGHTS. HOW WE DISMISS THESE PERSONS’ HELPFULNESS, DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL APPROACH US AGAIN WITH THE VALUABLE CONTENTS OF THESE AND FUTURE CONVERSATIONS.
Be insightful enough to remove our egos and become more gracious and thankful. Then go back, explain, apologize, and reinitiate these life-changing conversations. When we listen, understand that we can become anxious, overwhelmed, and embarrassed. Understand what is happening to you. Make no excuses, but explain to the speaker your internal conversation and feelings. CharlesContinue reading “OFTEN, WE ARE NOT READY TO HEAR HELPFUL WISDOM, NEEDED ADVICE, OR PERTINENT INSIGHTS.

SOMETIMES THAT KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, AND ABILITY TO ACCURATELY PREDICT (especially risk-filled events) APPEARS TO NOT BE THAT NEEDED, AT LEAST NOT FOR THE MOMENT…BUT JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!

IF YOUR CHILDREN, OR YOUR YOUNGER SELF, WOULD HAVE LISTENED, WHAT WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE (from you or from others) WOULD YOU HAVE WANTED TO IMPART ON THEM?

ALL FORMS OF EDUCATION ARE ABOUT OBTAINING INFORMATION AND WISDOM TO BE USED IN THE HERE AND NOW. JUST AS IMPORTANT IS HOW EDUCATION TEACHES US HOW TO BECOME EVEN BETTER, AND MORE CURIOUS, INDEPENDENT LEARNERS.

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, WE NOW HAVE A COMMODITIZATION OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE. WE DO NOT NEED TO SPEND BIG SUMS OF MONEY IN ORDER TO GO TO SCHOOL. HOWEVER, WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE ARE STILL DIFFICULT TO COME BY, AND, TYPICALLY, IT TAKES YEARS TO INCORPORATE THESE INTO A FLUENCY IN THE WAY THAT WE THINK, SPEAK, AND ACT.

WISDOM IS, IN PART, KNOWING WHAT TO DO, WHEN TO DO IT, WHEN NOT TO DO IT, AND HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY, THE FIRST TIME. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT IS WHEN WISDOM IS THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND CORRECT OUR OWN MISTAKES, SOONER AND FASTER.

STORIES, ANECDOTES, PARABLES AND MYTHS
Are powerful ways to remember and pass on lessons Highlight lessons which are still applicable, generations later Are more memorable if the lessons are pure fiction or at least part fiction mixed with objective truths Do not represent certainties or all eventualities, but do represent accumulated wisdoms, which have stood the test of time andContinue reading “STORIES, ANECDOTES, PARABLES AND MYTHS”
