Hello,
Yesterday I read the book about seagull who really wants to how to fly not just because it helps him to find food but just for fun. His name is Jonathan Livingston. And I want to tell you 8 things that you can learn from his story. It's a small story that I think everyone should read because it helps you understand who you really are and what you want. The story is not about seagulls, is about people and their relationships.
1. Believe in yourself.
Sometimes it's hard. OK, it's always to believe in yourself, believe that you are worth to have everything that you want. But Jonathan believes and after all he makes his dreams come true.
2. Believe in your dreams
It's not the same as believe in yourself. Jonathan had doubts about his dream. He tries hard but nothing worked and he was disappointed in the dream...
but only for a moment
3. Don't listen anyone
I think there is need no words to explain this. Just don't listen. They know nothing about you, your dreams, your goals
Sometimes even your parents don't understand you
4. Make your dreams come true.
Do everything to get closer to your dream. Do everything even they seem impossible because all things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now. Try over and over again.
5. Be a coach
Help people who want to know things that you've already known. Teach other people who want to do the same things you do
7. Be obsessed with your idea
8. Don't let your dreams just be dreams
Yesterday I read the book about seagull who really wants to how to fly not just because it helps him to find food but just for fun. His name is Jonathan Livingston. And I want to tell you 8 things that you can learn from his story. It's a small story that I think everyone should read because it helps you understand who you really are and what you want. The story is not about seagulls, is about people and their relationships.
1. Believe in yourself.
Sometimes it's hard. OK, it's always to believe in yourself, believe that you are worth to have everything that you want. But Jonathan believes and after all he makes his dreams come true.
“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way".”
It's not the same as believe in yourself. Jonathan had doubts about his dream. He tries hard but nothing worked and he was disappointed in the dream...
"There’s no way around it. I am a seagull. I am limited by nature. If I were meant to learn so much about flying, I’d have charts for brains. If I were meant to fly at speed I’d have falcon’s short wings, and live on mice instead of fish. My father was right. I must forget this foolishness. I must fly home to the Flock and be content as I am, as a poor limited seagull."
but only for a moment
3. Don't listen anyone
I think there is need no words to explain this. Just don't listen. They know nothing about you, your dreams, your goals
“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.”
Sometimes even your parents don't understand you
“Why ,Jon ,why?” His mother asked. “Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can’t you leave low flying to the pelicans, the albatross? Why don’t you eat? Jon, you are bone and feathers!"
4. Make your dreams come true.
Do everything to get closer to your dream. Do everything even they seem impossible because all things are possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so, as of now. Try over and over again.
"He felt better for his decision to be just another one of the Flock.
There would be no ties now to the force that had driven him to learn,
there would be no more challenge and no more failure. And it was pretty,
just to stop thinking, and fly through the dark, toward the lights above
the beach."
5. Be a coach
Help people who want to know things that you've already known. Teach other people who want to do the same things you do
"Jonathan stayed and worked with the new birds coming in, who were all
very bright and quick with their lessons. But the old feeling came back,
and he couldn't help but think that there might be one or two gulls back
on Earth who would be able to learn, too. How much more would he have
known by now if Chiang had come to him on the day that he was Outcast!"
6. You always can find people who understand you
When you what you love you finally find people who love the same things as you do. They can be your friends. They can teach you some things that you don't know.
He recovered to level flight and was quiet for a time before he spoke.
"Very well," he said, "who are you?"
"We're from your Flock, Jonathan. We are your brothers." The words
were strong and calm. "We've come to take you higher, to take you home."
"Home I have none. Flock I have none. I am Outcast. And we fly now at
the peak of the Great Mountain Wind. Beyond a few hundred feet, I can lift
this old body no higher."
"But you can Jonathan. For you have learned. One school is finished,
and the time has come for another to begin."
"Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull, an unlimited idea of freedom"
8. Don't let your dreams just be dreams
“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”
Be Cool and Have Fun,
Darie
