I imagine that we have all asked ourselves this question, having the doubt of whether to stay calm and not keep looking for something better or simply want much more than what you have. I have had this question frequently since I live in a country where to have "luxuries", be it clothes, a car, a house, goals, objectives, work, among others, is quite difficult. Since getting money together is a challenge in Venezuela, either because of inflation or because you do not earn enough to get the aforementioned. I am not saying that being content or non-conforming applies only to having money and having the things you want, this issue goes beyond a country situation, I give the example of a person who really has everything (economically) but may not have the joy and affection of a family or vice versa, people who may have a job and have a good salary but would like to have another type of work or other work experience.
Tal vez hayas escuchado a personas decir “si eres inconforme con lo que tienes” o “confórmate con lo que tienes, hay personas que quieren lo que tú tienes” ¿pero por qué lo dirán?, ¿Cuál es el motivo?, ¿hay que ser conformistas y no superarse?, ¿habrá algún límite para las cosas? , muchas veces he querido tener otras cosas o tener mucho más de lo que tengo pero me pongo a pensar y a preguntar, ¿estoy valorando lo que tengo? ¿Realmente es necesario tener más de lo que tengo? . Un sin fin de pensamientos me llegan, ya no es el tema de dinero sino del valor y aprecio que tú le des a las cosas que tengas, aprovechar y sentirte afortunado de que tengas un auto o que tengas una familia increíble y que te amen.
Maybe you have heard people say "if you are not happy with what you have" or "make do with what you have, there are people who want what you have", but why would they say that, what is the reason, is it necessary to be conformist and not to overcome, is there any limit for things, many times I have wanted to have other things or to have much more than what I have but I start thinking and asking myself, am I valuing what I have, is it really necessary to have more than what I have?. Endless thoughts come to me, it is not about money but about the value and appreciation that you give to the things you have, take advantage and feel fortunate that you have a car or that you have an incredible family and that they love you.
Detesto las personas que tienen esa avaricia de tener más y más, que viven cómodos (económicamente) y solo el hecho de que no estén saciados y conformes por lo que tienen buscan más, ese tipo de personas son las que no valoran para nada lo que tienen, personas vacías, hay más riquezas en otro tipo de cosas, en esta vida no todo se trata de dinero. Hay veces que caigo en ese juego de querer más, reacciono y me doy cuenta que está mal ser así. La vida no se trata de si es mejor ser conforme o inconforme, se trata de darle valor a las cosas, que si llega el momento de necesitar algo se busca y se lucha por lo que se quiere, digo que más allá de no tener el dinero para comprarte lo que quieres, buscas el modo de conseguirlas de forma honesta.
I hate people who have that greed to have more and more, who live comfortably (economically) and just the fact that they are not satisfied and satisfied with what they have, they look for more, that kind of people are the ones who do not value at all what they have, empty people, there are more riches in other things, in this life not everything is about money. There are times when I fall into this game of wanting more, I react and realize that it is wrong to be like that. Life is not about whether it is better to be content or non-conformist, it is about giving value to things, that if the time comes when you need something you look for it and fight for what you want, I say that beyond not having the money to buy what you want, you look for a way to get it in an honest way.
Hay personas que basan el estatus de alguien en la sociedad solo por la cantidad de dinero que tiene y no por cómo es realmente, ven aquella persona de mucho dinero y sueñan con ser como ese alguien sin saber cómo es. Se vería mejor pensar en tener éxito en lo que eres bueno y esforzarte por ser uno de los mejores. Para avanzar, es necesario dar pasos al frente sin tener en cuenta más que los propios deseos. Ser conforme se define como la tendencia a cambiar el comportamiento, opiniones o actitudes acorde con los de un grupo o un líder. En cambio ser inconforme hace referencia a la actitud hostil ante el orden de las cosas, la tendencia a ir contra la mayoría de las personas conformes.
There are people who base someone's status in society only by the amount of money they have and not by how they really are, they see that person with a lot of money and dream of being like that person without knowing how they are. It would look better to think about succeeding at what you are good at and strive to be one of the best. To move forward, you need to take steps forward without regard for anything other than your own desires. Being conforming is defined as the tendency to change behavior, opinions or attitudes in accordance with those of a group or a leader. On the other hand, being nonconformist refers to a hostile attitude towards the order of things, the tendency to go against the majority of conformist people.
Es raro lo que diré acá, pero ser conforme a o inconforme tiene cosas buenas y cosas malas independientemente, en muchos casos para algunas cosas deberíamos ser conforme con lo que tenemos pero para otras deberíamos ser inconforme y seguir avanzado, ser mejor y obtener más resultados. Existe un perfil en cada persona, quizás alguien puede ser inconformista en cuanto a injusticias sociales, pero luego conformarse con determinadas normas en el trabajo.
It is strange what I will say here, but being conformist or nonconformist has good and bad things independently, in many cases for some things we should be conformist with what we have but for others we should be nonconformist and continue advancing, be better and obtain more results. There is a profile in each person, maybe someone can be nonconformist in terms of social injustices, but then conform to certain standards at work.
El compromiso tiene un papel muy fuerte en lo que al inconformismo respecta. Cuando las personas se sienten fuertemente comprometidas con alguna causa, bien personal o social, será más probable que haga caso omiso de opiniones o actitudes externas y seguirá al frente con sus razones, en pocas palabras no le importa lo que la gente comente. Pienso que el inconformismo es un incentivo para cambiar y mejorar, no tiene por qué ser negativo. Comprometerse con uno mismo, tener inquietudes personales, es el motor más potente para avanzar, se podría decir que ser inconforme es sinónimo de superación dejando a un lado la vanidad, ten presente que el cambio siempre es bueno.
Commitment plays a very strong role when it comes to nonconformity. When people feel strongly committed to a cause, either personal or social, they are more likely to disregard outside opinions or attitudes and follow through with their reasons, in short they don't care what people say. I think that nonconformity is an incentive to change and improve; it does not have to be negative. To be committed to oneself, to have personal concerns, is the most powerful engine to move forward, it could be said that being nonconformist is synonymous of improvement leaving aside vanity, keep in mind that change is always good.
Por ultimo quisiera decirte que más allá de ser conforme o inconforme, ten presente que cada día es una oportunidad para superarte, ya sea en el trabajo, en algún deporte que seas bueno, en los estudios, en proyectos, un sin fin de cosas en la vida, inclusive ser ejemplo para otras personas, que cuando te vean digan, “yo quisiera ser como él o mejor” o que se sientan orgullosos de tener una amistad como la tuya, ese sentimiento de que seas importante para alguien en su vida no tiene precio, avanza, supérate y sé feliz.
Finally I would like to tell you that beyond being satisfied or nonconformist, keep in mind that every day is an opportunity to improve yourself, either at work, in a sport that you are good at, in your studies, in projects, an endless number of things in life, including being an example for other people, that when they see you they say, "I would like to be like him or better" or that they feel proud to have a friendship like yours, that feeling that you are important to someone in their life is priceless, move forward, improve yourself and be happy.
