Kurt Vonnegut:
“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said,

“Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

A note written by world famous fashion designer, blogger and author ′′ Kirzida Rodriguez ′′ before dying of cancer.

1. World’s most expensive brand car is lying in my garage. But I’ll have to sit in a wheelchair.
2. My house is full of all types of design clothes, shoes, expensive things. But my body is covered in a small sheet provided by the hospital.
3. Bank money is my money. But that money is of no use to me anymore.
4. My house is like a castle but I lay in a twin size bed in the hospital.
5. I went from a five star hotel to another five star hotel. But now I’m spending my time going from one lab to another in the hospital.
6. I’ve autographed hundreds of people – and today the doctor’s prescription is my autograph.
7. I had seven beauticians to do my hair – not a single hair on my head today.
8. In a private jet, I could fly anywhere. But now I have to take two people help to get into the hospital porch.
9. Although there are many foods around the world, my diet is two pills in the day and a few drops of salty at night.
10. This house, this car, this jet, this furniture, so many bank accounts, so much reputation and so much fame, none of these are of any use to me. None of this can give me some comfort.
It can only give – the faces of some lovely people, and their touch. ′′
Nothing is more true than death.

If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a glass jar nothing will happen, but if you take the jar, shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other. Reds believe that black is the enemy while black believes that red is the enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. The same is true in society.

Men vs Women
Left vs Right
Rich vs poor
Faith vs Science
Gossip, rumors, etc …

Before we fight each other, we must ask ourselves: Who rocked the jar?
