The Wisdom of Silence: “Keep Your Mouth Shut, Open Your Eyes”

Shut your mouth; Open Your Eyes.    These short, pithy sayings pack a lifetime of wisdom into a few carefully chosen words.   At first glance, this is pretty straightforward advice. Don’t babble; observe. However, as with all effective proverbs, its meaning extends beyond its surface meaning. Let’s unpack it a bit and see what treasures we can find hidden in its brief message.   The first part, “Keep Your Mouth Shut,” isn’t just about keeping quiet. It’s about practicing restraint. It’s about choosing your words carefully and, perhaps more powerfully, choosing not to speak at all. Think about it: How often do we say things we later regret? How often do we participate in discussions without fully understanding the situation? This part of the proverb urges us to resist that impulse. It encourages us to hold back, to listen more than we speak.   This holding back is not necessarily about being secretive or dishonest. It is about being prudent. It is ...

What do successful people have in common?

Have you ever wondered what the richest and most successful people have in common? It is certainly not their place of birth, the color of their eyes, the color of their skin, whether they had divorced parents, etc. What they have in common is that they read books. And a lot of books. You must be wondering who these special books are. There is hardly a success bible. There are many different books specifically for financial success. The reality is that they can point you in the right direction. How to organize your budget and how to invest. Yes, they are also a factor in decent financial discipline. The truth is very different. There is a story hidden in every book. In this story, you can find an opportunity for your dream. Fall in love with an item or service that you can develop. Then sell this idea of yours. Try to read one book a week. Let them be in different genres. Figure out what exactly you like. Then read at least a dozen books in this genre. Think and conclude again. You don...

What I consider to be a dream home

What is the ideal house for me?  Firstly, consider its location.   If possible, it should be on the border with a forest and a river. The sun must shine on it most of the time. Wood should be the material of construction, and it should feature large windows. Of course, there should be external and internal blinds. To become a completely passive house, there must be a minimum 15-kilowatt solar system on the roof or in the yard plus a battery for energy storage. This energy should independently supply all electrical consumers in the house. The house should have a heating and cooling system using a heat pump. The water for the house should be from a well. A direct connection between the well and the home system is required. The house should have at least 2000 square meters of land. In 1,000 square meters, if possible, plant various fruit-bearing trees. Five hundred square meters is enough for vegetables and a small greenhouse. A small home fishpond requires one hundred squar...

There are different types of success, too.

 Success is a tricky thing to measure. Some people might say that success is achieving your goals, while others might say that success is simply being fulfilled and content with your life. There are a lot of different factors that contribute to success, and everyone has their own definition of what it looks like. Some people might measure success by how much money they make, while others might measure success by how many people they help. Success can be measured in many ways, and what matters to you is your choice. There are different types of success, too. Some people might find success in their careers, while others might find success in their personal lives. There’s no wrong way to find success, and whatever makes you happy is what matters. No matter how you measure success or what kind of success you’re looking for, remember that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Just keep working hard ; never give up on your dreams.
