An incredibly powerful character trait is to be able to argue with those you love, care for, or even just work with, only to then act as if nothing happened the next day. I was taught this observing my father and the men who prioritised what's most important.
If I were to receive a lecture or be severely disciplined, I'd expect to be in disgrace for a while due to my uneducated, inexperienced mind. Upon sitting in the car or reaching the warehouse, I'd see a man who got on with the day as if nothing happened.
This instantly, subliminally, told me to be grateful and follow by example rather than pretend I was entitled to remain stroppy.
To learn the importance of harsh words as well as their lack of importance compared to actions is a fine skill embraced by few.
The respect and lessons given to me as a result were firmly carried with me into adulthood. It would then shock me to see that many people in my life held grudges over trivial issues or due to the lessons they should have learnt from.
In turn, instead of appreciation of such a character trait, many confuse it for submitting or admitting to wrongdoing as opposed to stoic forgiveness.
To this day I see so many people who miss the brilliance of such individuals, including the standards set by my father. Those with the eyes to see, see someone to admire.
It dawned on me that they'd never had such examples given to them, and so, for the rest of their lives, they'll confuse who and what's truly important.

May the evil of some not ruin our faith in humanity, but instead, highlight the good within others.

It's not that you want them to leave but that they didn't want to improve.

Look into the eyes of any adult for long enough and you will see an inner child that pines to be mothered.

No amount of economic excuse-making will ever change the fact that true "progress" depends solely upon the preservation of human happiness.

Unlike every auction or trade known to man, the only ones who can truly estimate or prove our worth is us.

If you honestly believe you're special, then you'll never expect the same from others as that of yourself.

No matter how much one looks at the progress of others, remember that one can only be that which one can be. Therefore, be it.
Another fine morning spent in @MonsterGymLtd in #Cheshunt, #WalthamCross. I love to train here whenever I can & I'd love to see many more do the same 🤝

Giving fictional answers to humanities most difficult and unasnswerable questions is to stifle mankind's ability to question, and therefore conquer the most trivial of issues.

If you're local you'll know this pub has struggled in the past, let's do our best to keep it alive. 🤝
