Now, most of the time, this is not conscious.
So, we just give people permission
to come and occupy,
to live rent-free in your mind,
in your head.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Your mind is a very precious,
very precious, precious thing.
The mind is like a fertile field.
The mind is like a fertile field.
The mind is like a fertile field.
The mind is like a fertile field.
The mind is like a fertile field.
fertile field, it will, whatever you plant in it, it will give you a harvest for that
thing.
Whatever you plant in it, the mind will give you a harvest for that thing.
It makes it grow and it gives you a harvest.
That is the reason why it's very important for you to choose what to plant in your mind.
Because you plant wheat, you get wheat.
You plant rice, you get rice.
You plant wheat and you want rice, you will not get.
So you have to decide, what is it that I'm going to allow into my mind?
What will I allow to live rent-free in my mind?
So choose who you want to listen to.
And then listen to them very carefully.
That's the second part.
For the first part, we listen to everybody.
Which is detrimental because everybody does not have the competence to say or tell us
anything that is beneficial for us.
And then the other part of it is that we disregard, again, consciously or unconsciously, real
advice which can benefit us.
And this would be the advice from experts.
And advice from people who are...
Who are genuinely concerned about you.
So that's the other thing.
So therefore, it's very important to pay close attention to that advice.
Advice coming from people who are experts.
And understand that that advice is coming to you and most of the time it will come to
you free, is to be appreciated, deeply appreciated.
Because it's not your right.
That people must...
So, that's the third part.
That's the fourth part.
That people must spend their time with you.
People must share their hard-earned life lessons with you.
Right?
It's not...
It's not something that is necessary for those people to do.
If somebody's doing it, they are doing you a favor.
And that is something that we need to appreciate.
Not just take it for granted.
If somebody is sharing their knowledge and their experience, it must be respected.
One of the very detrimental things that I have noticed, especially this Gen Z, is this
completely arrogant assumption.
That anyone who's not...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't think anyone can do that.
I don't think anyone who's under 20 is not worth listening to.
That the only people who are worth listening to are people of your age, people of this
generation.
Now that's about the most stupid thing that you can think about.
Because experience comes with age.
Experience comes with living life.
You cannot have 40 years of experience when you are age 20.
The only way to have 40 years of experience is to be 40 plus.
It's not...
is to be 40 plus.
Now, having said that,
not everyone who has
40 years of life experience
can teach you something useful
because of another
very important factor,
which is the tendency
to document that experience.
Because what is not documented
is not learned.
It's as simple as that.
What is not documented
is not learned.
People live the life.
So I'm 70 years old.
There are millions of people
who are 70 years old.
But the 70-year-old
who can teach you something
will be the one
who has taken the time and trouble
to live reflectively
and thoughtfully
and he or she
has documented their learnings.
If they have done that,
then what they have documented
is potentially useful for you.
I'm not saying everything is useful,
but potentially useful for you.
