HOW THINGS CHANGE

in #life7 years ago

The famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger published a photo of himself sleeping on the street, under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote: "How times have changed" ...
The reason he wrote the phrase was not only because he was old, but because when he was governor of California he inaugurated that hotel with his statue.

The hotel management told Arnold that "at any time you can come and you will always have a separate room for you."

When Arnold resigned as governor and one day he wanted to stay at the hotel, the administration refused to give him a room arguing that he should pay, since the hotel was almost full.

He brought a "Sleeping Bag" and lay down under the statue and explained what he wanted to convey: "When I was in an important position, they always congratulated me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not keep their promise. trust your position or the amount of money you have, or your power, or your intelligence, that will not last. "

Trying to teach everyone that when you are "Important" in the eyes of the people, they are all your "Friends"; but once you do not benefit or supply their interests, you will not mind.

"You're not always who you think you'll always be, nothing lasts forever."

People come and go; the interests of each change overnight; today they can hug you and tomorrow betray you and even trample you; THE CHALLENGE then is to learn to choose our connections well, disconnecting from the toxic and opportunistic, and take the time to place, in our circles of trust, those who love us for what we are, and not for what they can take us for interest or reject for disinterest.

It takes time, but it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE, because there are still genuine people who, despite being imperfect, seek to be better than yesterday
