people are books and opportunities

I love talking to people. People, for me, are a source of opportunity, income, knowledge, or whatever good thing comes to my mind.

It was always like this. There is always something to learn from anyone in the world. Even if you think you are not an expert in something, there are still things to learn and explore from a human being.

First, let’s define something. A human is just a soul inside a human body. Or it is both soul and body.

The soul is the one that is interesting. At least, from my point of view.

So far, I have talked with many people. The exact number is in the hundreds, I guess. Each had its own unique story, background, mindset, and purpose in life.

I remember when I was younger, 1–2 years ago, I used to say people are books because you learn something from them by listening or watching. But my view has changed. They are not just books, they are opportunities.

Let’s define opportunities. Opportunities are things or moments that help you achieve your own goals, improve yourself, or take advantage of something.

Here, we can understand that opportunities are always related to people. Here is an example for you: You want to become an entrepreneur. And you accidentally meet a successful entrepreneur in an elevator. Now you have 5 minutes to impress him, talk with him, or ask for advice. This is THE opportunity. He can help you become an entrepreneur. All you have to do is do.

Secondly, people are not evil. Yes, there might be evil people. But it is your actions that make you face evil people. If you truly want something such as earning more money, achieving some goal, travelling, or learning something, people will come to you first, giving you help.

At least this happened in my situation. I knew what I wanted in detail, even with deadlines and timelines. When I started taking action, people slowly started coming my way, giving me assistance. I might have given you a specific example from my life. But I want some things to be private.

So, yeah. Life is good. There is one thing I want you to learn from this. People are neutral. If you really know what you want to do or who you want to become, then many people will be willing to assist. If you believe in your goals and your ability to achieve them, people will feel it and start to believe in your goals.
