To grow, a person must take care of his own personality.
In the spring, when the snow has already fallen and the gentle sun with might and main is trying to warm the awakened earth, a seed wakes up somewhere in the depth of a couple of centimeters. This is the most common seed of the most common grass, trampled into the ground with autumn mud. She successfully survived the rains, mastered the snow and frost, and finally waited for the warm days.
After a while, the seed has already become a blade of grass. A small thin stalk began to stretch toward the sun. The seeds have a lot of interests and questions. Who am I; what am I; what flower i will have; and whether it will be at all; that there is higher neighboring blades of grass; what's behind the curb? In a word - the usual life questions of each young blade of grass.
The lawn in the juice, the blades of grass dream to become flowers, spikelets, feed the bees, or even fly to the moon. But not everything is so simple. A lawn mower appears on the horizon. She brings her order to the lawn. The order of the restrictions and rules - do not grow above a certain length; do not climb beyond the border; be realistic and forget the silly dreams of the moon.
This mower is a traditional education. Factory of patterns that one by one cut down the unique layers and centimeters of personality. And do not think that this is bad! This is just an ordinary fact. So really need.
The education system, therefore, is a system that tries to prepare a person for a more or less adequate existence in society. Due to the lack of time and the banal possibility of an individual approach, we were in a hurry, according to the instructions, taught to write, read, count and, somehow, even think.
To grow further, a person must independently take care of his personality. In the end, this blade of grass can not independently leave a flower bed. And we, the two-legs, always have a chance to change everything. Having mastered the rules and patterns of lawn mowers, we have the right to independently choose what to keep out of this in our life and what to change or improve. And this helps us self-education.
In the Internet era, we instantly gained access to countless knowledge. We have the opportunity to independently find answers to our questions. But, as the dynamics of modern society shows, we are less and less likely to use these cognitive privileges ...
...Online games, movies, TV shows, social networks, what else is there?
Rummage in the past. Rummage last week, yesterday. How long have you found the answers to your questions? How long have you ever wondered Why? What for? How?
Meanwhile, a small child, the same herbalist, is in constant search for answers and show interest in many things that even adults do not understand.
Wake up. And develop. Not for the sake of a career (although it is necessary for it), not for the sake of a tick (although it trains the discipline), but in order not to degrade under a layer of patterns and paths that are not always true, interesting and lead you to happiness.
You were given basic things. You have been helped to grow to the level of the average flower bed. You have to take care of yourself. Evolve, don't think it's too late. Do not say that you have no time. Do not wait until you are given a reason. Themselves. Act for yourself.
Perhaps when you looked at the title of a chapter, you imagined a slightly different text. But no, he is. A simple story about a blade of grass will be clear and understandable even to a child. Do not complicate. You are alive, you are living, you need growth.
So grow, friends, grow.
The ideal time will never be. Suitable, quiet, convenient period - too. The best moment to do something good with your life is today. Today, here and now.
