What I consider as something serious is that many a man are doing what’s expected from them, and not what they see as right. I would for example very much appreciate it if the president would cheers with a glass of fruit-juice instead of a glass of champagne. A president is supposed to be an example for his/her nation. Not that I’m talking of some specific president, they’re all following the tradition. Suppose I have a little child who’s watching the news on the television together with me, by which the president sociably is clinking with a glass of champagne, that’s bad influence that the president is sending to my child. If it were a glass of fruit-juice, I would proudly dish up to him, “Sweetheart, that’s our president whose drinking a delicious glass of fruit-juice, you also should be drinking it to grow into a strong and healthy young man/woman.”
Those people that dare to say “no” to which they see as wrong are the ones that believe in themselves. Some time ago I was watching a world-famous talk show, and at the end they cheered with a glass of tequila. I found it super-cool of one of the women who resolutely refused to drink it. She said as firm as a rock, “I’m not getting near that thing, I’ve learned my lesson.” She just bumped her folded t-shirt, which she had been gifted, against the glasses to be part of the sociability. That was a woman that believed in herself, and for me it was worth a jubilation to say “no” in front of so many people that are watching that program.
I abhor it if people say to me that they are drinking and/or smoking for fun. Aren’t you saying that you’re super-boring without alcohol and/ or smoking, and that you can’t have fun without drinking and/or smoking?
I would now and then buy lottery-tickets in the past, and I would dream winning the first prize and fulfilling all my dreams with it. I stopped buying lottery-tickets, because I realized that if I bought any more lottery-tickets it meant that I believed that I myself wasn’t capable of fulfilling my own dreams.
If you believe in yourself it means that you believe that you’re capable of fulfilling your wish/goal without help of what’s wrong, shortly, believing in oneself means doing what is right. If that believe isn’t there, you’re busy following the path to your downfall.
I spent ten years of my life married to the bottle, as I was always successful at what I did; I became a very successful alcoholic. I went right from the top all the way to the bottom; as a matter of fact I ended up living in the streets, rolling other drunks for enough money to get that drink I always needed. -- William Cash Neve, author of the book "Total Recovery", as he claims it to be his claim to fame: “My one claim to fame is my peace of mind.”
