The problem with being a nice personTop Story - May 2024
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

How I lost myself
I’ve been slowly noticing a change in me over recent years. In a lot of ways, I am coming to an understanding of why my parents did what they did, how I felt, and why it's important I do the same as well. I am also understanding society a lot better, the reason why certain things happen like they do and how we ultimately reached this status quo. For example, I understand why I felt the way I did about my dad, uncles, aunties, and society as a whole, and even though I was hoping to be different and not walk in their footsteps, I came to understand why they were like that and also the reason why I need to be the same as well.

The day I became ruthless (fiction)
There are a handful of events that can drastically change a person’s life from being a loving, kind-hearted being to a cold and ruthless being. When I meet ruthless people, I always wonder what their backstory could have been, because I don’t think they were born that ruthless, cold, and mischievous, like every villain. they must have had a series of events or a specific one that pushed them over the edge and turned them into what they are.

Pivot really fast
Starting a business is never easy, aside from all the work it takes out of you, it also comes with very little guarantee of success and there is a high chance of failure regardless of your strategy. I started a business with a friend, which eventually failed down the line due to our inability to pivot and adapt to the changing environment, but what struck me the most was how fast my partner was willing to give up on the whole endeavor. In his mind, if our first strategy didn’t work, then the whole endeavor wasn’t worth it any ways, We would be better off doing something completely different. In the same way, there are people out there who, after trying one strategy in a specific sector, once that strategy lets them down, abandon completely instead of pivoting and keep going.
