I personally believe that persistence and overbearance are often mixed up. What's the difference? Read my definitions here.
BDN Philosophy #2: Love's Order Of Operations
I personally believe that too many people these days rush into love. I believe that there is an order that must be followed; I believe that love is something that must be planted and then grown. I believe that friends become best friends, best friends become boy/girl-friends, boy/girl-friends become fiances, and fiances become spouses. I believe that love's order of opps is: like, in like, love, in love.
BDN Philosophy #3: Communication Is The Only Way
I personally believe that communication is the key to having healthy, enduring relationships. I believe that it's absolutely vital that we are open and honest with those that we love. I personally believe that most relationships could be saved so easily if only the ones involved were a little more open and honest with each other.
BDN Philosophy #4: Regret Is The Result of An Unlearned Lesson
I personally believe that regret is seen way too much in the world. I believe that regret is a direct result of failing to learn something from our mistakes. I believe that with each mistake comes a lesson and with each lesson comes improvement. But I believe that regret damns our progression.
BDN Philosophy #5: Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid
I personally believe that some things are better left unsaid. This can be the trickiest of them all because--as stated above--I also believe that it's very important to be honest with everyone. For example, perhaps we have strong feelings for someone. But if that special someone is not ready to hear about those feelings, it's probably not necessary that they are said. It all boils down to this: There is a time and a place for everything.
BDN Philosophy #6: Awfulness And Sincerity Cannot Co-Exist
I personally believe that awfulness and sincerity simply cannot co-exist. It is far too often that we hear people criticizing others and calling them awful for not keeping up with the pace or for not executing a task with ease. But I believe if someone is sincere and gives something everything he or she has, it cannot be awful. Sincerity and simplicity are more powerful than most people realize.
BDN Philosophy #7: Practice Doesn't Make Perfect, But It Makes Progress
I personally believe that practice makes progress. The simple truth is this: No matter how much we practice, we will never be PERFECT at what we do. But yes, the more we do practice, the more we progress. And the more we progress, the happier we become.
