#self satisfaction is the biggest achievement of life

[columbine-01]

I need to learn this:

Anybody can please teach me...

Perhaps, by MySelf!!

[rainbowsky]

The climbing steps never stop, the self-seeking never stops, listen to the whispers from the distant mountains, and share some of Wang Yibo’s "exploration insights" 📝🏔️

Translations.

When I was about to climb up I found that the rain was getting heavier. I thought I should try it first. Since I'm here, why not go.

In fact, I have always wanted to do the job I like, but it seems that I have actually achieved it. I have always been doing the job I like. I also think many actors say that they really enjoy the process of filming. I have been thinking where can I enjoy being an actor? But in fact, I like it very much when it comes to the results. I feel that I have made such a movie and such a role, which gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

My psychological expectation this time is I will adapt quickly after coming up, and I don’t want to go down. I think I am a perfectionist.

Where is the next critical time node? Maybe it is the change in identity. Becoming an actor is the biggest node. Maybe it started with "Hidden Blade". This is really moving towards a field of film.

(I think) if life is this mountain, I am now 27. That means I am just starting out. Where I am sitting now. If this mountain is always high, I think I will keep climbing up, if I have the ability.

Will you feel you have a dilemma during this stage?

I think I may have a direction, but it is not as clear as when I was a child. For example, my dream when I was a child was to be a singer. After that, it seems that I don’t have a second dream.

You may need to figure out what kind of actor you want to be after this stage.

Well, I think you need to figure it out slowly.

I never seem to have a specific goal. Say who I want to be, what will my future be like, then what kind of goal do I want to achieve. It seems that I am following my heart.

It is in an outdoor environment in nature, then enjoy the process of making coffee. When brewing, the smell of coffee slowly floats up. It is a mixture with the air of nature. Then it is very comfortable to drink.

You have to live a more meaningful life. The more you see, the more different things you see, the more different things you think about, the more meaningful your life is. And I don’t want to wait until I’m old, without any interesting memories.

Izuku, I love you...but you're so complicated.

That’s what I got to say.

With the recent manga chapters…I’m emotional.

Back at chapter 401, I went through my gloomiest, saddest, most depressed state I’ve ever been since following this manga. At that time, I was already submerged in this whole atmosphere of ‘war’, and after Stain’s apparent death, I got a realization…It hit me like a brick: AFO was frightening.

I never measured the true impact and weight of AFO’s actions. I never understood Izuku’s perspective of AFO’s first appearance at the series back at chapter 88.

When I understood that, I really… I genuinely believed of the possibility of AFO’s winning…and I was waiting for AFO’ victory: I could hear his goddamn laugh. I could see the blood, the tears…I was drowning in hopelessness.

After all that I went through those few weeks, chapter 403 came…and I could breath. I smiled with the biggest grin I could physically do…I was excited with the panels of “the new beginning” and that bakudeku glance we had. Then, as if the sun never left our side, shining its light through all crystals of tears…Katsuki rose from death and saved All Might, along with Izuku’s help. He and All Might hit the roof of a building and, it that moment, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful smiles he have ever gotten inside this universe: Katsuki’s genuinely smile as the nerd he is by All Might’s compliment.

I can not express in words the gladness, the satisfaction that grin left me with.

Katsuki has always been a truly complicated character for me since the beginning. But I really like him. I think that he, as a character, has been through quite a lot of experiences that always left with a bittersweet taste of him never truly achieving what he dreamt of: being a hero. But he came to a new light, even after death…his smile, the first genuinely smile we got from him…It made me happy. It made me nostalgic, satisfied with the fact that he, who has suffered so much, finally was given the opportunity to shine, to be.

But then, immerse in that bliss…I could not help but think of Izuku. Compared what I felt for Katsuki in that moment with what I felt for Izuku…

and I felt so empty.

...

Izuku is so…miserable... right now.

I’ve loved his character since the first time I saw him back at that day when I was presented of the existence of Boku No Hero Academia. I remember beginning to read the manga and his character just made its space into my heart. I saw him overcoming obstacles, defying the prejudices everyone put him into, challenging and coming on top among his classmates, other heroes, becoming the true successor of the symbol of peace…but then, I saw the fog surrounding me.

At that point, back at chapter 256, I realized the situation we were: the beginning of the predestined and inevitable war.

Izuku was stronger than many, happier with his life...but there were traces of painful sadness in his words.

I could see that: there were so many things unspoken and unresolved topics about his character. What does he feel about himself? Did he feel strong at that point? How did he feel about the upcoming battle he had to face against AFO? What is the plan he has to reach out for Tomura? What about his self-sacrificial tendencies? Those are really gone or not? What about his health and body? What about gearshift and the deadly consequences it has to his body? What about his relationship with All Might? with Toshinori? Will he ever stop calling Katsuki by Kacchan? Does he still cling to that past he had with Katsuki when they were friends (before Katsuki manifestated his quirk)? There are still those insecurities he had before? Why does he insist so much that he must not cry? What about his father? Does he have any repercussions about the fact that he did not have a father figure for most of his life? Does he keep thinking of OFA as something special? What were those feelings about Katsuki that he felt that were ‘so gross’ and unworthy of addressing? What about his qurikless past self? How does he feel about his quirkless condition (reference to what he said to Kota back at chapter 72)? Has he ever thought about the bullying Katsuki put him through? What does he feel about that? Did he really forgive Katsuki?

Then, the war started. And I mean the totality of it: things were not being addressed: Everything become ‘battle’, ‘fight’, ‘live-or-die situations'...as it has to be, obviously. In the middle of a war, who in the world will rest for a few seconds to question their reality?

Everything was accelerating, moving.

Many died, many suffered. Including Izuku, whose pov was taken away from us. He went through his Dark Hero Era, his feelings were hidden at the most recondite space possible. He saw his friends and pro heroes bleed, his childhood friend thrown away there in the middle of the battlefield, presumably dead…His idol/father figure almost die at the hands of the greatest villain of all times while fighting with the most dangerous one out there who could touch the ground and destroy the whole world…then he saw how Katsuki got up and saved All Might, leaving him with more time and space to continue the battle…

At the newest chapter, we only got the scene where we see Izuku’s figure, demarcated and exhausted face, thinking how he can defeat ShigAFO.

I think that his character has gone through the correct path, but has cornered himself (or was cornered against his will) into this situation of exhaustion, with so many questions left unanswered, with his character left there with a hurricane of emotions that are not even explained and the readers have only actions to interpret from this.

While Katsuki has overcome his troubled-life and can smile, laugh af AFO's face proclaiming victory…Izuku can not.

Izuku was left behind, even though he was so far ahead of everyone. He can not smile, he can’t rest, can’t let his guard down, can’t even think for a moment what he has been feeling this whole time.

This is a situation, where sooner or later, Izuku will have to face all this things he never addressed even in the slightest…and I want to know how that situation will be.

I want to see him smile, see him become the hero, the symbol of hope he has always dream of to be…I want him to stand tall and strong, smile bright... next to Katsuki.. as it should have been all this time.

HOW TO STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS

We're human, so comparing ourselves to other people is just common nature for us. But, comparing ourselves every single day about every single thing can become unhealthy, not only for your physical health, but for your mental health as well.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE

Start by writing down things that you are grateful for in your life. Even if you feel like you don't have anything you're grateful for, you definitely do. It could be anything, your dog, a certain food, etc etc.

CONTENTMENT

Gratitude leads to contentment, which allows you to be in a state of joy and satisfaction no matter what your circumstances. You’re happy with where you are in life and aren’t worried about what other people are doing.

That doesn’t mean you don’t have goals for the future or that you aren’t working toward being a better person tomorrow than you are today. And it definitely doesn’t mean that you’re stagnant or that you’re choosing to sit around and do nothing new, exciting and challenging with your life. It just means that you develop a peace about your life and a sincere enjoyment about what you have today without basing all your happiness on what you hope to achieve tomorrow.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS FAKE

I'm pretty sure you've been told this so many times but it's so true! These people you are seeing in pictures with a bunch of friends and going places all the time isn't their whole life. Just highlighted reel of their life, so being jealous or upset that you're not living like that isn't worth it.

FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS

You aren't self absorbed for recognizing your talents and strengths. You don’t have to beat yourself up to be humble. In fact, that’s a pretty unhealthy approach, and it’s one of the biggest dangers of comparison living. The more we compare ourselves to others, the worse we feel about ourselves.

CELEBRATE OTHERS

Constantly comparing ourselves to others leads to us not cheering on the people who are working hard to get somewhere. And it makes it hard to celebrate with the ones who’ve accomplished something! Don't feel like you're loosing just because some else is winning.

BE YOUR OWN BIGGEST COMPETITOR

Instead of focusing on where you are compared to others, focus on your own goals. Where are you compared to where you were at this time last year? Or five years ago? In the past year, you’ve learned, stretched, improved, accomplished and created. Think about how much of that you’ve done in your lifetime!

Sex Astrology – Chris Evans:

The main placements looked at for sex would be as follows, I have put in order of what is going to have the biggest influence on Chris:

Lillith in Scorpio (also it’s ruler so everything here is magnified) in the 12th house. This placement shows Chris’s primitive impulse is to follow deep subconscious desires and dreams he will often have. He goes on instinct, can be a little manipulative but is very secretive. He could also have a fascination with occult subjects where nothing is taboo to him, may even like pain play.

Also, in this placement (Scorpio in 12th) is his Moon, Uranus & ASC. This shows he has a lot of spirituality, dreams and secrets surrounding his personal life & external self. He has a fundamental need for privacy and control, he can control others easily without trying or them knowing. His mind is constantly busy fantasizing. He is super sexual and wants deep intense and even spiritual sex and likes pushing things to extremes. A force to be reckoned with. He can have difficulties like loneliness, self-destruction, and unfinished karma in this area though so needs to address this.

Mars in Gemini in 7th house shows that Chirs’s primal Energy, passion & sex drive is in the house of relationships. He can truly let himself go in a relationship the way he can’t in one-night stands.  He is very aware of his partners desires, very perceptive and intuitive lover. He is turned on by mental stimulation & communication. He can get bored easily & is very curious so likes sex toys & incorporating fun & laughter. He is very restless so quick and often is best. He can be argumentative.

Venus in Cancer in the 8th house, shows he has a need for emotional security and depth in relationships and this ties into sex a lot as somethings he will only bring up or do in a relationship with deep trust as he is a secretive lover. However, he is also very sensitive, nurturing, protective, cautious & emotionally intelligent. He has a strong sex drive but has to feel wanted.

Chris’s 8th house which represents death, sex & occult also has a 2nd placement of north node of destiny in Leo, this shows the work he needs to do to achieve spiritual growth. Chris is urged to get personally involved in deeper relationships that make him uncomfortable and become more giving of his understanding to other people's priorities and values. This will deepen his sexual relationships and satisfaction once done and sex will become more fulfilling for him.

Pluto represents karma, dark domain, sexuality, power & control and is placed in Libra in the 11th house of friends & aspirations. Chris likes to be a leader & guide, he’s innovative in bed but can be a little rebellious for “normal” standards. He enjoys sex with people he sees as his equal and a balanced the most and is a very fair lover when it comes to mutual satisfaction

And another ☺️

Looks like I got sent them too 🤷‍♀️

There's another ask coming after this one others may find interesting, but Damn they weren't kidding about his astrology.....

Kinky bitch 😂😂😂👏👏👏

💜🪽🌟

[mimiruku]

For Kai ◇: 🧡, 🔥, 🌇, 🏵, 🥭 and 🍑

For Mimi♡: 🥭, 🎇, 🥕, 🐦‍🔥 and 🏵

█   𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐀𝐒𝐊 ⸻ ( ⚝ ) ╰⸻➤ Only answering for Kai this time around since there's so many questions :')

CONTENT WARNING : Misogyny and mentions of sex

─── 🧡 (orange heart) - Is your oc honest? Why or why not? Are there only specific people they’re honest to?

SURPRISINGLY HONEST. Kai is blunt to a significant fault, he's not one to shy away from sharing his opinions and his truths, though while he rarely lies, he is also immensely private, these two qualities commensurate and turns into an infuriating personality trait. " Ah ? I don't want to tell you, I don't like you like that." Kai is an honest individual, but most would rather if he lies, that'll be less offensive and hurtful really.

─── 🔥 (fire) - What drives your character in life? Is it a belief? A person? A goal? Whatever it is, what do they want from it and what are they willing to do to get it?

Self driven and hedonistic, Kai believes in the pleasures of life, it's entirely about the things it could give him and the things he could enjoy. He'd say his goal is ' to be happy ' but the way he goes about it is atrocious and selfish, there's something intrinsically insatiable about him however, satisfaction is uncommon, if not, impossible & thus he has habit of over consuming and discarding things that no longer suit him - a person is treated the same way.

Later in life, even he was surprised to the extent of greed he actually has and the willingness to do absolutely anything to get what you want.

─── 🌇 (sunset) - What does it take for your character to trust someone? Do they have to prove themselves? Or does your character not trust anyone no matter what? What made them this way?

A lack of introspection made Kai not realized that he in fact, did not trust anyone ⸻ there is a kind of intimacy in reliance and credence that he could not quite achieve in his many relationships, whether it be friendship or romance. He could not give himself completely to anyone nor did they to him, the closest had been Miruku but the other felt gleamingly distant, wholly not his to keep nor was he for him to have, there is an understanding in that and strangely enough, Kai trusted this sort of whisy-washy relationship more than anything.

─── 🏵️ ( rosette ) - What is your character’s most prized possession? Is it something they could never bear to part with? What makes this object so special?

Nothing yet, Kai has yet to learn to cherish anything and that includes possessions, he had discarded gifts from his partners and friends thoughtlessly before and this habit is something he hasn't learned to shake off even in his adulthood. Well at least, if you wanted something of his, he might just give it to you. ( During Namimori valentines, Miruku enjoyed the privilege of eating his chocolates, he had done this to be horrible however . . . it did not go well for Miruku to say the least. )

─── 🥭 ( mango ) - What is your character’s general outlook on life? Are they a pessimist, optimist, realist or something else? Whatever they may be, how does this outlook affect the way they live their life?

You'd think someone like him would be a little cynical, but Kai is surprisingly ' optimistic ' , for someone that ruthlessly treats those around him, he has a fairly bright view in life . . . things will go his way eventually, why wouldn't it?

─── 🍑 ( peach ) - [18+ only, that means who answers/asks this and the targeted character must be 18+] What are your character’s thoughts on sex if they have any? What is their sexuality? What is their sex life like? Do they even have one?

He's gay that notoriously dated women during his teenhood, a practice that went on throughout his adult life, he's quite frankly the biggest misogynist you might have the misfortune of meeting, though men were not treated any differently, if not also rather cruelly and without ounce of respect. Relationship with him is just entirely awful emotionally but the sex is great at the very least.

Sex is mostly a means to an end, it is entirely about the pleasure and nothing more. By the time he is an adult though, his sex life decreased drastically, the mafia life is not viable for having a supernumerary sex life it would seem but that doesn't stop him from trying.

the biggest lie taught to you is the concept of freedom.

being “free” in the soulless and secular material mind is to do whatever your animal-self desires at any time. to buy what you want, eat what you want, do what you want, live how you want. but who, in history, has ever been content with their perceived “freedom”?

a man will strive in the name of “freedom” to achieve a desire. and once satisfied - sometimes within minutes of achieving his desire, he is left wanting more. his stomach is never filled, rather, it stretches and grows bigger. eventually he becomes apparently obese with an increasing appetite to satisfy his “wants” - because he’s “free” to do so. satisfaction after satisfaction, desire after desire, eventually, the greed that he had unknowingly fed, grew so strong that he becomes unable to control it. sometimes the means to satisfy his desires now need to be unethical. but he can’t do anything about that. still free? no. to his desires, he finds himself enslaved.

if you truly want freedom, understand its true definition. freedom is to be liberated from anything that shackles. freedom is to be free from need. if you reflect on this, you’ll realise that there is really no such thing. a human being always has needs, we are dependent beings, just like everything in nature. and what’s wrong with that? why do we want to detach ourselves from our connection to nature and our dependence on it and each other? with a shift in perspective and a view of the bigger cosmic picture, the whole notion of “freedom” now becomes undesirable. we hate loneliness. we hate being disconnected. “freedom” is about disconnection. do you still want it?

liberation from the enslavement of your basic animal desires, and your emotions, and society, and their evils, and everything that harms, is real freedom. and it’s completely attainable. and it doesn’t cause obesity. it doesn’t only temporarily satisfy. rather it brings you to an eternal state of peace and contentment. permanent security and safety of the heart and mind.

why don’t they teach us that this is freedom? because it doesn’t make money.

so how to attain this liberation? simple: self-discipline. shrink that stomach. strive against those animal desires and nourish your higher self. the deepest part of you that is made from pure Light, that craves peace, and harmony, and order. but you need to grovel through the battle against your base desires. you need to work hard. you need to train that muscle of discipline, until it becomes easy. remember this, and you will be satisfied regardless of what is thrown at you in your life. and when your life ends, it will end in that same peace you attained in your life. that state of peace becomes eternal.

[monstersdownthepath]

I just read your post about daemons, and it got me thinking... for all their power, and the horrifically real threat they represent for all that lives, aren't daemons ultimately the biggest losers of them all? All they are, ultimately, is empty hatred and nihilism. "Life sucks and then you die, everything is pointless, so let's just erase it all and be done with it". Heck, even the freaking sahkil get something out of their evil. Daemons get nothing in the end.

Correct! And that's the inherent problem with their Nothing In Life Matters philosphy as a whole: it makes them unlikable losers.

Though, to be fair, the last daemon alive if their omnicidal plans ever succeed gets the satisfaction of being the last thinking being in all of creation and can revel in the silence and emptiness for a while. You know, before their self hatred surges back to the fore and they blow themselves up and shut the book on the cycle as a whole.

There's also the unfortunate and amusing fact that their very mission is impossible to ever succeed. Even ignoring the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones--who predate the concept of death and thus are not bound to its rules--you have the Infinite Abyss, the chaos of the Maelstrom, and the living ideas in the Astral Plane... And, of course, Rovagug and his Spawn. There exists life the daemons simply don't have the means to destroy.

Their overall end goal as a species is impossible to achieve.

Reflection on where I am in life, where I'm looking to improve, and what I've accomplished

Nearing the end of the quarter, I’m glad to say that I do not have any regrets. I’m happy that I’ve made the most out of my first year, as I have met so many wonderful people, made so many great memories, and learned to be myself. All throughout high school, I’ve always been self-conscious of how I appear to others, as well as very closed in. While I tend to resort back to my reserved days then and there, I say I’ve grown more confident in myself. I learned to love what I look like without makeup, I learned to care less about what others think of me, and I learned to prioritize my mental health. Although I am still a work in progress, I feel a sense of satisfaction looking back on myself in high school and seeing how much I’ve changed. 

Something I’m still looking to improve on is being okay with not having to overcompensate myself. One of my biggest fears is people meeting me for the first time and them thinking about how outgoing and extroverted I am, but then when they continue getting to know me, they realize how I don’t fit their expectations from how they first viewed me. I’m afraid that I will disappoint others and that they will get bored of me. After talking to one of my pledge brothers, they assured me that overtime it's okay for people’s view of you to change, and that I shouldn’t try to make myself someone I’m not when meeting people for the first time. 

A goal I’ve achieved throughout this quarter is definitely going outside of my comfort zone and feeling more comfortable reaching out for help. It’s very easy for me to want to stick to the same routine and avoid help from others, but I’ve grown to be more comfortable taking risks and learning that it is beneficial to seek help and look for opportunities.

5 killer habits

5 killer habits

It is such an inspiring book , by reading this book I came to know simple yet powerful habits and life lessons. The first chapter taught us the importance of waking up it is the best formula to achieve anything in the world, and most successful people have this as a common trait. I also learned that important decisions should be made in the first half of the day and after 8 hours of sleep. Morning decisions are the best decisions and the efficiency of work is increased in the morning I learned that getting up in the morning and working 1 hour towards your goal can create a tremendous difference.Writer made me understand this as he wrote  very relatable examples.

The second chapter – To be a hero

To be a hero, heroes are the ones who sacrifice their time and resources for another without expecting anything in return. This lesson taught me a beautiful thing  that everything we buy makes people look up to us we mistake it for respect, real respect is giving something that we have like money or time. I realized that by helping people especially when they are in need we get a great sense of satisfaction. Volunteering can help you find life’s purpose and make you live longer.

The third chapter- Become a monomaniac

This chapter teaches us that solo travel is important for self-consciousness. Traveling alone teaches you to appreciate the small things in life, helps you see things clearly, and answers your life’s biggest questions. We learn new things and get different perspectives. I realized that to be self-conscious and to see the world, we need to travel alone.

The fourth chapter – Live a 100 lives

Reading is another important habit it makes you more empathetic and helps you to gain more knowledge which will help you to see the world from different perspectives and also understand other’s perspective. I learned that we only have one life but those who can read can have several lives by reading autobiographies of great humans you can make friends with their characters and fall in good company this will help you learn big things and learn from your ideals.

The fifth chapter – Stay curious

I learned that it is very important to stay curious about everything as the quote says smart people learn from each and everyone, average people from their experiences, and dumb people have every answer so it is very important to stay curious. Staying curious will help us to think rationally and logically It helps us to know about the world more and also helps us to understand ourselves better.

Overall this book taught me 5 very important habits which can really change our life also our perception towards life.

Achieving career success allows individuals to experience personal growth, financial stability, and job satisfaction. It leads to greater self-confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and better work-life balance. Beyond the obvious financial rewards, success in your career brings fulfillment and purpose to your life.

51 Elementary Self-improvement Practices

8) Coexisting with Your Husband: A man fears choosing the wrong profession, a woman fears marrying the wrong man. Marrying an ambitious, diligent, healthy, understanding, and affectionate husband makes a woman’s life 80% happy. If unlucky to marry a “dabbler,” what should you do?

First, recognize that no one is perfect, and there is no perfect husband in the world. Enjoy the good half of him and endure the bad half. For example, don’t expect a man with great ambition to take care of household chores; he won’t have the time and energy if he doesn’t exploit you. Don’t expect a multi-talented man to bring a peaceful life to the family. Don’t expect a handsome and charming man to be completely loyal and not flirt outside. Don’t expect a wealthy man to bring a regular and worry-free life. Don’t expect a man with a strong career ambition to have leisure time for romance. Don’t expect a man who brings you sexual pleasure every night to avoid physical labor and study deeply. Don’t expect a sedentary, pot-bellied man who reads and writes to bring sexual satisfaction. Don’t expect a rough, bold, and powerful man to understand your delicate emotions. Don’t expect a man who is always around, worried about your every frown or fever, to achieve great success. Don’t expect a man who is meticulous with housework to become prominent. Don’t expect a knowledgeable and scholarly man to avoid criticizing and directing you. Don’t expect a man who brings a peaceful and harmonious family atmosphere to be socially adept and responsive.

Whether a woman is happy depends on the type of husband she marries. Whether a man is successful depends on the type of wife he marries. The greatest damage to human nature and the biggest constraint on personal freedom comes first from spouses. There is no perfect marriage or ideal spouse combination. Once you recognize this, you can accept unpleasant realities calmly and sincerely. Women should start their self-improvement by learning not to depend on men emotionally to have hope of becoming a celestial being. The American sex symbol Marilyn Monroe committed suicide at 36 not because of lacking other things but because of lacking a man she could truly rely on emotionally. If she had turned her mind to other spaces, she wouldn’t have had that ending. Thus, women should begin their self-improvement by not relying emotionally on men.

9) Less TV, Idle Chat, and Newspapers; More Reading: In today’s world, with advanced communication and vast information, the more you know, the deeper you get involved, and the harder it is to calm your mind. Roughly analyze, and how many of the 100 pieces of information are valuable to you? Most information not only fails to benefit you but adds to your worries, fears, and anger. TV and newspapers are your main information sources and the culprits for your inability to stay calm, so it’s wise to watch and read less.

Idle chat, especially with common folks, has more harm than benefit. Idle chat is nothing more than gossiping about others, discussing trivial matters, praising some, criticizing others, talking about who got lucky, who had bad luck, whose wife had an affair, whose husband is unfaithful, where to make money, how to get promoted, who is scheming, who is morally corrupt, and so on. It’s often baseless, speculative, and detrimental to your mind. However, chatting with wise or celestial people is highly beneficial, akin to learning from ten years of study in one conversation. The key is that if you lack certain cultivation and qualities, wise or celestial people won’t waste their time chatting with you.

More reading refers to reading books beneficial to physical and mental health, enlightening wisdom, cultivating temperament, encouraging progress, and depicting the truth, goodness, and beauty of life. Generally, this means sage books, popular science readings, and books on spirit, physiology, and psychology. Avoid books that corrupt the mind, focus on schemes, incite desires, and spread bizarre tales. Magazines should be like “Reader’s Digest” or “Reader,” avoiding vulgar, obscene, privacy-invading, sensational, and flamboyant ones.

10) Filial piety is the foremost of all virtues, and lechery is the greatest evil. Men, aside from their spouse or a prostitute, should not touch any other woman. There are no women who come without consequence, especially those of different generations, significantly older or younger, or those from respectable families. Such actions not only bring bad karma in this life but will degrade your soul to the level of animals in the next life. If you have already committed such acts, immediately turn back and sincerely repent to Allah - the Ancestor of Buddha, the Greatest Creator with heartfelt remorse. Always remember, filial piety is the greatest virtue, and lechery the greatest sin.

11) Treat people with sincerity and without precautions. Imagine that everyone in the world is good. No one intentionally wants to harm you. Even if you have been deceived or taken advantage of before, maintain this mindset. It is better to be deceived a thousand times and remain sincere than to become distrustful. Do not doubt your parents’ love, your wife’s fidelity, your children’s respect, your friends’ loyalty, your subordinates’ intentions, your boss’ motives, your colleagues’ goodwill, your competitors’ strategies, your neighbors’ actions, or small vendors have deceitful schemes, and so on.

Growing Taller, Dreaming Bigger

A 16 years old, Gev, who’s experiencing the whirlwind of physical changes that come with adolescence.

"My height got taller, my weight keeps losing, and I feel good and sad about these changes."

As teenagers, our lives are constantly changing, whether it’s physically, emotionally, or mentally. At 16, Gev is at the heart of this whirlwind. From the challenges of his body’s transformation to his dreams of performing on stage like Beyoncé, Gev is navigating the ups and downs of adolescence with a mix of excitement, curiosity, and reflection. Here’s a glimpse into his world and the lessons he’s learning along the way.

Over the past year, Gev has noticed some significant changes in his body.

"My height got taller, my weight keeps losing, and I feel good and sad about these changes," he says.

It’s a time of growth, but also a time of adjustment, especially when you’re still figuring out how to feel comfortable in your own skin.

Despite his changes, Gev remains dedicated to improving his physical health.

"I’m looking forward to doing exercise and eating healthy foods"

Though he’s still working on building muscle and feeling more comfortable in his body, Gev is determined to make fitness a bigger part of his routine. For now, his energy comes from the activities that make him feel alive, like dancing.

"I like to dance, and it gives me the vibe,"

He shares, showing how physical movement can be a source of both expression and energy.

While Gev enjoys physical activities, he has a unique mix of interests that balance both physical and mental engagement.

"I love to play chess, but I also love playing volleyball”

Chess, with its intellectual challenges, offers a different kind of satisfaction than volleyball, which is physically exhausting but rewarding. His passion for volleyball keeps him active, even though it’s a tough workout, while chess gives him a sense of mental stimulation that's hard to describe.

"Playing chess feels different, and I can't explain it,"

This balance of physical and mental activities speaks to the importance of well-rounded development during adolescence. For Gev, physical fitness isn’t just about looking a certain way; it’s about feeling good and challenging himself.

Gev’s sleep schedule is a bit unpredictable , sometimes he sleeps only 2-4 hours, other times he gets a more typical 7-9 hours.

"I’m actually energetic when I sleep short,"

He stated, showing that every teenager’s body has its own rhythm. But no matter how little or much sleep he gets, he’s learning the importance of finding ways to take care of himself and recharge.

When asked about his physical fitness routine, Gev is hopeful.

"I’m looking forward to doing exercise and eating healthy foods."

He knows that his habits now can shape how he feels in the future, and he’s committed to finding the right balance of exercise, nutrition, and rest to fuel his life.

At 16, body image is often on the mind, and Gev is no exception.

"I'm skinny, and I don’t feel comfortable about it," he confesses.

In a world where body standards can often feel rigid, it’s natural for teens like Gev to struggle with self-image.

"Being skinny is not okay," he explains

pointing out the pressure that comes with judgment from others. However, Gev is beginning to recognize that his appearance doesn’t define him, and he’s learning to love and accept himself for who he is.

"I learned how to accept and love myself,"

he shares, a reflection of the personal growth that is so crucial during the teenage years.

Looking ahead, Gev feels both excited and nervous about the future.

"I feel both, but more excited,"

He stated when asked how he feels about what’s to come. He has big dreams, including learning to sing like Beyoncé and performing in arenas and stadiums.

"My biggest goals or dreams for the next few years are to know how to sing like Beyoncé and achieve my dreams," he says.

His aspirations reflect the common teenage desire to reach for something extraordinary, to step into a future that’s full of possibility.

But like many teens, Gev faces insecurities along the way.

"Insecurities"

He shared, when asked about the biggest challenges teenagers face today. It’s a universal struggle—trying to balance the pressures of appearance, social expectations, and self-worth. But Gev’s journey to overcome these challenges and find his confidence is a testament to his resilience.

When asked to describe being a teenager in three words, Gev doesn’t hold back:

"Hard, exhausting, fun."

And it’s true, being a teenager is a rollercoaster. There are days when everything feels like too much, but there are also moments of joy and excitement that make it all worth it. Gev’s sense of humor and his ability to find enjoyment in the little things—like chatting with true friends or going to places he loves—keep him grounded.

As he looks forward to the future, Gev remains hopeful and open to whatever comes next. He knows that the road ahead won’t always be easy, but with his determination, passion, and self-acceptance, he’s ready for whatever challenges or opportunities life brings his way.

"Young self, just enjoy life,"

He says, a reminder that sometimes we get so caught up in the pressure to grow up and succeed that we forget to appreciate the journey. Gev’s story is a reminder that adolescence isn’t just about figuring out who you are it’s about learning to embrace yourself, dream big, and keep moving forward.
