When good advice may not suit us.

🌱 Growing from the Inside: When Good Advice May Not Suit Us

For a time in my life, I believed that advice from others would help us move faster.

But now I know - if we don't know, listen to ourselves first.

Those suggestions could become a "trap of help" that quietly leads us astray.

I consulted a senior who said,

💬, "If you don't like code, don't learn computer science, it will be difficult and pull grades."

It made me hesitate and change my ways because I thought that experienced people would know better.

Together with myself who doesn't really know it yet.

But as time passed, I saw that "we are different" - something difficult for him, maybe something I was ready to learn.

And most importantly, I don't want to be like him, but to understand myself.

📘 I had the opportunity to read "The Little People," and the first chapter was "Growing from the Inside."

It reflected that day to me again, like an article that made sense of what happened before I was pushed to the present.

💬 "Advice from others may take us further from the path it should be.

Or maybe pull the stage that led us so lost that we finally had to give up. "

- From the book Little People: Growing from the Inside

It seemed to me to stop listening outside and start listening inside.

Because really growing up, it's not following anyone.

But it is to understand where we are going with our own hearts.

And another sentence I like and want to share from this book is

💬 "Because real growth won't happen to you.

But it will only happen inside you. "

This sentence was simple, but it made me change from "listen to follow."

Let's "listen to understand" and then choose what really suits your path.

---

✨ Sometimes "voice from the inside" is not the loudest.

But it's the only sound we should listen to as clearly as possible. 💭
