About "Stupid"
I created "Stupid" to help over come being called stupid.
Many of us shut down after hearing the word:
- Causes me to not want to try again: in fair I would be considered or called "Stupid"
- Causes me to not want to express myself, to not want to say how I feel or express my ideas
- Causes me to not want to be around anyone, to just stay away
So, to be able to enjoy my life and be happy with the choices I make, I had to put my choice to the test.
Before I make a decisions, state my opinion, or try again, I do a "Stupid" test:
- Stop - before you do anything, step back and observe
- Think - about the situation, what logical outcome do you want to achieve
- Understand - all the obstacles that you will encounter
- Process - all the likely outcomes, remembering there are more than two ways to achieve one outcome
- Identify - which path is best for you, keeping in mind others may be in the mix
- Decide - once you done all the steps, remember "No one person is perfect" so don't be afraid to be wrong, we all make mistakes. The key "learn from the mistakes"
The "Test Collection" was created
The "Response" Collections, was created for all those that continue to call my ideas and decisions "Stupid", without a helpful response or advise:
- Stop - Thinking - U - Perfect - I - Don't
- Some - Think - U - Perfect - I - Don't
- Some - Think - U - Perfect - It's - Dumb
- Stop - Thinking - U - Perfect - It's - Dumb (coming soon)
I realize that any individual that calls another "Stupid", believes they are "Perfect".
I don't believe there is anything "Perfect" in this world and we all have flaws.
So, STOP calling me, my ideas, my beliefs and my choices "Stupid"
I hope you enjoy the collections, and be proud of who you are,
Pass on the knowledge
