One’s words are not enough to gather the trust and belief of most people. That is perhaps what best describes why most people would want to stick to beliefs based on more than one claim. For example, stating a fact on current social trends according to the viewpoint of one person is not immediately concurred by another for the reason that he wants to gather further support and backup for the claim. Such facts may include as acknowledging that social networking is the new way of expanding ties or that online dating is the new way of hooking up. Taken as a whole, people only believe once they are proven.
Theories and claims are not always believable especially when they are fresh. Another aspect is the stature of the person, regardless if he has higher studies. Fame is the only thing that can make a simple statement reliable and for the unknown people, don’t expect to get immediate credit for anything. These are all common traits that we have garnered from society and it doesn’t look like it will change anytime soon.
Take it from the early philosophers. Most of them in the early ages were perhaps laughed at for their claims. Not until their philosophical theories were ratified and proven were they acknowledged and we all know that when that time comes, they may have already passed away to stand tall for their claims. Philosophy does seem to be rewarding but only after some time. When they do, you can be assured that your name will be on everyone’s minds.
Finances are one of the hardest things to control these days and apparently there is more to saying that we will not spend or save a penny for a rainy day. These days, it is no longer a matter of I want this and I want that. It is about being logical and practical as far as consumer spending is concerned. In short, there is more to buying the things we love based on ads or what people tell us to buy.
Of course, there is always the reference towards buying needs based on importance of need. Using the model of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, people who use to ignore it may want to refer to it once again. These days, the things that Maslow had enumerated are for real. The other things that include electronics, mobile phones and pricey dinners or night outs are vices which now have to be controlled. In short, do not spend if you cannot save.
Being single or having parents to support you should not be your safety precaution. Most of us are adults and the act o being responsible can be done only if we really want to be one. We are no longer spoon-fed children to which we always know that there is someone to catch us when we fall. Wake up people, you should start facing the world and know your limits.
There is no better way to be responsible other than to manage your daily finances. Be logical and practical. One day you can boast that to your siblings as a good example to follow.
