I was someone that used to think that when you're smart, it always means that you're having the right answer, but since I've grown up and analysed things, it occurs to me that for every possible outcome that was playing in my head, I believed I could avoid mistake completely.
The question was a bit easy, but what I didn't realise was that I wasn't being wise. I was just afraid of what might be. This matter became, the character began to grow and, holy speaking, it really matters a lot. I would hold back ideas in meetings because they weren't just perfect. I would delay decisions because I needed just one information.
Sometimes, I would just decide to stay silent in some conversation, writing better responses in my head, while I can just decide to move on without it. I was thinking, I was thinking everything and just living on the values I have. What no one tells you is this, if you're intelligent and you're not courageous enough, it becomes a cage for you.
Embarrassment, failures and so you keep on waiting for the right moment. You hesitate but don't wait for that perfect time. My life doesn't reward that endless preparation or waiting for the right time to act at some point. You just have to learn that growth requires some bravery, the courage to be wrong and don't be afraid to fail. You have to be willing to be wrong in front of people in respect, feel ready for anything that can happen.
I started speaking up even when I did not have the right thing to say. I made decisions. I allowed myself to stand so fully sometimes and something surprising happened. You
didn't just end in fact, I didn't just see doors going to open when I decided to have the courage to keep speaking up. I learned faster. I was able to connect with more.
Being wrong really don't make me less more of an intelligent person, it may be human again, it may be to live at the present moment, it may be to be bold, if you are so waiting deeply to analyze carefully and see so many things. You don't need to be brave enough to keep trying on this and I'm going to keep trying.
Life begins the moment you stop waiting to be very sure and you have a clear sign before you act.
