LESSON 4 - Bragging is for the weak!

We love to pamper ourselves with beautiful garments, ornaments, jewellery and we even go overboard in making our homes too expensive to live in.

My question is "WHY?".

Many of us, including myself at one point, would say, " To enjoy the beauty and let others compliment your style of living."
Thats where we go wrong. You wouldn't believe it, but in my journey of self discovery I have seen many people who go way beyond their budget to make themselves look good. When asked, they replied frankly that they want to look and live better than anyone else.

It might not come to a shock for some of you because surprisingly almost 70% of the people I have come across, live to please others.
People love to brag, they look for opportunities where they can talk about their expensive assets. Its sad to think of people like that, because it makes them seem like thats all they have to live for in life.

My dad often gets frustrated when he meets people who brag. Recently he met somebody that bragged about their house getting done up with the most expensive decor on the market, it still cracks me up with the response my father gave that person. He told them that if he could help it he would break every window in our house and replace it with cardboard boxes, at least he will have a good nights sleep.

The Basic Truth - Never live for the sake of showing off. If your right hand does something good, don't let your left hand know.
