How To Step Out of Your Comfort Zone.

How to step out of your comfort zone.

A Comfort Zone Living

Till my 40s, say it good or bad, but I was a person who had no complain from his status quo type life. God had given me an apparently firm family support, where I had a comfortable life despite my failure in achieving my career goals. Gradually, I grew used to and adjusted to this kind of sustenance. I was satisfied in my cocooned comfort zone and had almost turned a blind eye towards any aggressive kind of pursuit for ambitious life. The reason being my thought that any such pursuit would demand to sacrifice my canopy of comfort and would force me to step out of my comfort zone. In my comfort zone, I had a fixed routine life with familiar faces around, no risks, sense of apparently assured security and a predictable environment. So ‘how to step out of your comfort zone’ type thought never came my way until very late.

But my these presumptions about this complex life proved so baseless. Days passed and on one certain day I felt like caught in an unwanted situation. Everyone and everything around me was evolving and changing with time except me. And, this felt very suffocating. I came to realisation that staying with in comfort zone had plateaued my growth. Actually, this kind of living, as was in my case, gradually brings before you a situation where you feel to have lost the very meaning and purpose of life.

Flowing water passes through different environment and landscapes. Its unrelenting flow through different terrains adds to it numerous minerals and other goodness of plant and animal kingdom. Numerous other streams join it in its course and enrich it further by pouring in it the specific natural elements, unique to specific terrains they have passed through in their short journey. Thus flowing water is ever evolving , fresh and full of variety.

Now take the case of stagnant water. It becomes stale and stinking with passage of time. No regular addition and dissolution of diverse minerals and air, makes it bereft of its liveliness and energy. A man in his secluded comfort zone is like this stagnant water. No enterprise to add to his experience. No interaction with positive people to inspire and encourage him!

What Does It Take To Step Out Of Comfort Zone?

Every person has his limit of boundary of comfort zone. When we with our entrepreneurial efforts push this limit further beyond, a whole new set of strange elements comes our way.

In order to stand and achieve a progress in this new and somewhat strange field, we have to accustom ourselves with the new elements that are part of it, and have to align with them both physically and mentally. Gradually we become adjusted and recalibrated with these new elements, which in turn, become new normal for us.

A progressive forward looking person always tries to spearhead into new potential areas of opportunities and adds new strips to his comfort zone. These opportunities may not necessarily be always economic but almost every aspect of human life that brings contentment and satisfaction.

During this process, a range of hidden human capabilities emerge and grow making a person more galvanized and capable. We must recognise the fact that, “the best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone.” (Karen Salmanson)

Work Plan For Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone.

Identifying the stumbling blocks that come in the way of moving out of comfort zone, is the first issue to address. These stumbling blocks are such dots which when joined, show you clearly the actual boundary of your comfort level and comfort zone.

One can better identify these stumbling blocks when he sees his life through various perspective of health, food habits, intellectual engagements, relationships. professional life, social life etc., where he needs to broaden his comfort zone boundary. For example:

  1. Health related issues : Issues of early rising, finding time for basic exercises, finding time to get proper amount of sun, timely intake of meal.
  2. Issues of intellectual and spiritual quest : Issues of allocating time for prayers, expressing gratitude to nature and God for their blessings, contemplation over meaning and purpose of life.
  3. Environment related duties : Issues of allocating time to recognise the various small but precious contribution we can make to heal the scars of mother nature.
  4. Relationship related issues : Are you aware about what is stopping you from detoxicating your soured relationship ? Or, are you aware that your relationships need a regular dose of healing treatments like – messaging, talking, meeting, appreciating and caring.
  5. Profession related issues : I have a staff hired for operating a generator set from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in my commercial premises. Though he is quite honest gentleman but a bit slow in disposal of his duties. He often becomes late by 5-10 minutes in reaching his work place. If only he could work upon this area of his performance and tried to step out of his comfort zone, he would prove a nice generator operator for me! One should write down the weak areas of his or her performance, arrange them in order of priority and address them.
  6. Social life related issues : Everyone has to live in society. It must be our endeavour to socialise with people and do our contribution towards its betterment. You can identify your expandable limits to embark into new areas of social work and social curtsey and social intermingling.

Benefits of Expanding the Comfort Zone Limit.

Expansion beyond our comfort zone limit involves manageable risks and valuable rewards.

Self Improvement : Expansion of comfort zone is not a sudden process. It comes with patience and practice. It is more of a mental training and exercise. In the process we learn and master the art of critical thinking, self actualisation, and improvisation skills.

Increased Resilience and Adaptation : It is quite possible that we may not get success in our pursuit to go beyond our comfort zone the way we want to. But we gradually learn from our failures. We reassess the situation and reorganise ourselves in more better way to tackle the challenge and get control over it. Gradually, we mow down the difficulties and also adapt ourselves and accept new normal for us.

Broadened Viewpoint : While struggling with difficulties and accepting new challenges we begin to get better understanding of the new culture, environment and geography. All this contribute in broadening our viewpoint.

Summary of Final Plan To Step Out of Comfort Zone.

(1) First choose the area in which you want to expand your comfort zone limit.

(2)Make a list of different level and scale of difficulties.

(3) Set small achievable targets to accomplish in time bound manner.

(4)Assess your achievements on which you have to capitalise for further advancement.

(5) Share your experience with friends, family and other people and get motivation from them and draw comparison.

(6)After accomplishment of your task, take a bird’s eye view of your accomplishment and feel the thrill of success. You should buy a treat for yourself and relish it. Or, you can give some prize or gift to yourself.

(7)Accept the new behavioural changes and adapt them as new normal for you.

A Stroll to the Good Old Days: A Journey Through Past.

Old objects help revisit the memories of good old days.

Taking a stroll to your good old days is an interesting journey to rediscover, reorganise and redirect.

A Childhood Memory of Good Old Days.

Yesterday, while lying in the bed for brief nap in hot summer afternoon of global North, I drifted to the good old days memories of my childhood. Those days, at around 6.15 p.m., we used to finish our evening play in our uncle’s campus, who was our next door neighbour.

His sprawling campus had a beautiful garden with various beds of flowers and in between them were straight to semi circular pathways. Here we played some sort of self improvised games like picking earthen lumps from flower beds and throwing them at our opponents who were taking position behind the shrubs on opposite side. It felt like a thrill when someone got hit with these earthen lumps which were not hurtful either.

In the finishing moments of our game, Gulab Chacha (our neighbour) signaled at us to have the evening snacks together. He was a man of taste and substance. The snacks sometime included roasted corn with sprinkles of salt, pepper and lemon. At other times it used to be omelette shreds mixed in to fried flattened rice flakes. Those flavour and aroma of delicious snacks at uncle’s house still linger in our hearts.

This good old memory of childhood days triggered in me a gush of impulse. At once I headed to market for buying eggs and flattened rice flakes. While leaving, I asked my wife about my plan to prepare this age old snacks for the evening, which she agreed.

That evening I relished not only food stuff but also the taste of good old days and forgotten times! The energy and the excitement that filled in me, diluted all the monotonicity looming over me. A feel of rejuvenation cheered me to the deep.

At Intervals, Do Take a Stroll to the Memories of Old Days.

There are many interesting things buried in our old memories which we must revisit and try to relive.

Remember the days when you, your siblings, and your friends were minor, and, your parents, uncles and aunts were in their youth. Recreation of the pleasant memories of these good old days opens before you a new vista through which you can look at, of what mental construct you were in those days, and, what you are now. It gives you a pause to introspect many things at many levels. Out of these, you have to filter the happy moments out for you.

This rediscovery of your past, provides you opportunity to recognise your positive attributes like your strength, courage, leadership qualities, planning abilities, flexibility and spontaneity which were present in your personality since your childhood days.

Your these natural instincts which have gathered dust over the years and lie in the oblivion, need to be retrieved and acted upon.

Many Different Ways to Revisit Old Days.

  1. Maintaining good relation with members of society and family is always beneficial. While interacting with people who in some way or the other have touched your life, do not forget to mention those happy proud moments to which they were also a witness. They certainly will endorse some of your attributes which had impressed them someway or the other and till this moment you were not paying attention to them.
  2. If you love writing diary on daily basis, just go through it. It will certainly help you correct your ways and help underline your those inner attributes that had brought some or the other glorious moment in past.
  3. When I passed my class ten, I grew very much nostalgic about my cloths that I wore during school years, at home or school. I washed and ironed shirts of my childhood and adolescent years and kept them in a bag. How could I forget them? They were part of me all these years. When I see at print of these cloths, a series of old memories begin to unfold – some good, some bad, some funny, some sad. Some reminded me even of the season and the weather when I had worn them. Who knows, someday they will help me immensely by reminding how fast I could run in my those shorts during school days !
  4. We have in our campus, an out house where we keep our old and waste articles. Though all households these days may not have this luxury, but in villages they have it. You may find here broken handles of an old umbrella, old photo frame, old kerosene lamp, old jerrycan, decorative old perfume bottle, old door locks, old gramophone along with its discs and many more. Walking through them feels me like sent in old times. It is a magic. A glimpse of my old school tiffin box unleashed before me the love and flavour my mom used to put in it, for me.
  5. Flipping through an old album trigger many old memories. They help join dots and recreate a forgotten life segment.
And Don’t Forget To….

Our life is so beautiful. It looks even more beautiful when we grow past its stages. Complexities and stress of present life never lets us realise its beauty. But memories of good old days illuminate the forgotten beauty of life.

Hence never forget to preserve an article or stuff that relates to your past. After all these objects and articles of old days will tell you and remind you about your distant past, will pat on your back, caress your cheeks and pamper your hairs with affection.

What is called being thick skinned?

Staying positive amidst criticism is an important life skill.

It has been in my habit for quite long time, to paste in my diary those paper cuttings of newspapers or magazines which bear some interesting lessons of life in the form of short story , poem or commentary.

Today while flipping through one such diary, I got stumbled at a page where I found a reference of a piece of conversation which took place between Swami Vivekananda and his Guru Ramkrishna Paramhansa.

Vivekananda: “Why life today has become complex?”

Paramhansa: “Stop analysing life. This is making it complex. Just live it.”

This infused in me an air of thought – why do we always keep sieving for any possible fault on our part, which may not have resulted deliberately? Why do we care so religiously about what others will say or what if people disapprove my certain step or action? This continuous introspection almost questioned me, “why shouldn’t we develop ourselves in to a thick skinned person rather than allowing us to remain thin skinned one?”

Who Is Thin Skinned?

A thin skinned person can’t deal with the thought of being target of criticism. He runs around trying to convince every one what he really meant. He looses his cool in his pursuit to have every one think of him in good light. But this is not possible all the time. This is detrimental to anyone’s progress in life and is considered a negative character trait.

Such persons are touchy, sensitive and tender hearted.

Who Is Thick Skinned?

If we say that someone is thick skinned, then it means that such person doesn’t get easily upset by by criticism or unpleasantness. Such persons are mentally tough and unsusceptible. They shield (or have learnt to shield) themselves against any onslaught of criticism, offensive gestures or ill behaviour towards them. Their ability to move towards their goal is not numbed by any criticism or mud slinging at them. They hear their criticism and simply brush it off. Mental toughness of thick skinned people is very high, which makes them firm on their path of success and living.

The basic tenet is to build an attitude in a person that doesn’t allow every little criticism affect them. Though some persons have inborn trait of mental toughness , others have to develop it over time.

Need To Reorient Our Thought Process.

We can reorient our thought process to build a thick skin attitude by cautioning ourselves against, and training ourselves for the followings:

  1. “Worrying about things beyond our control is pretty good formula for illness.” So we should get rid of this habit as soon as possible.
  2. Don’t take criticism or rejection personally. Actually every criticism or rejection is an opportunity to learn from. Ratan Tata said it beautifully, ” Take the stones people throw at you  and use them to build a monument.”
  3. Every misstep brings you closer to the perfect step. And if people don’t understand this about you, why let them bring you down.
  4. Learn to be patient. Don’t be impulsive or react to a situation without giving yourself  time to cool off.
  5. Feel yourself important if critics criticize you. That means you matter for them somehow. You have to learn by falling, and lead by trying.
  6. Never feel like satisfying everyone is essential. Shed this burden immediately. Hear the voice of your hopes, desires, and dreams.
  7. Engaging yourself every moment in preventing you from doing mistake is not right mindset. This will disconnect your life from adventure of new journey.
Finally..

Albert Einstein, once wrote,” Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. Just do your work as humanly you can do it. The rest will take care of itself.”

Understanding Happiness: Is It Elusive or Attainable?

Pay attention to your happiness and not on emptiness.
Pay attention to your happiness and not on emptiness.
Pay attention to your happiness and not on emptiness.

Understanding happiness is an important life skill. Science and Psychology of happiness is very much centered around the realisation of self contentment, self fulfilment and self satisfaction.

Unlike sensory pleasure; which is momentary, happiness dwells in you so long as it is nourished by factors that support it and nurture it.

Happiness May Come in Many Different Ways.

Happiness is very abstract thing. Understanding happiness is a subjective experience. Happiness can be found in many different ways. It may be sometimes a gift, sometimes a choice and sometimes a creation.

When your job, your decisions, your actions result in self satisfaction, self fulfilment and self contentment, you experience happiness.

When your relationship with your friends and loved ones, are good and smooth you feel happiness.

Also, when you with your hard work smooth away the hardship of life, you win and create happiness.

And, of course, when your efforts bring smile on the faces of distressed persons; and when you create and promote greenery on the face of earth, you create happiness.

Having Happiness and Experiencing Happiness Are Two Different Things.

Barring a few exceptions, there are elements of happiness in some form or the other, in everyone’s life. They are there, but we don’t pay attention to them.

My housemaid is a village woman. Her sources of income include farm labour, paid domestic help at households and share cropping – a quite subsistence economy.

I always noticed her inartificial, spontaneous giggles and laughter, while she is in conversations with my wife, in the kitchen. ”How happy she appears,” I am amazed. Despite being economically more better off than her; I hardly remember when did I have this kind of spontaneous laughter. She is storehouse of happiness, while I feel deficit of it.

I tried to analyse this situation. And, I ended up with conclusion that my mental bottlenecks and bags of worries had taken hold of me; not letting me recognise my positive side, where I am rich.

High expectation, social comparison, stress and pressure completely blind us to see the elements of happiness available in our life.

For example, culture of consumerism and individualism in western societies, has led them to a situation where people have insatiable hunger for material possession and status achievements. This lack of contentment with what they own, has led them to a situation where they are shrouded with sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction.

Similarly, social comparison with people who show off their richness; leads to feeling of inadequacy, envy and low self esteem.

Fast paced and competitive nature of many developed societies world wide has created a crisis of achieving balance between work, family, social life and personal well being.

Thus in between various cogs of expectation and competition, our tiny happiness is getting crumbled. We are unable to see the elements of happiness lying around us.

Happiness and Its Absence – A Reality of Life.

Life is not like a steady straight path. It curves both ways, what we call positive and negative phases.

To the people with deeper level of awakening, these ups and downs together compose a complete cycle called life. They realise that happiness and sadness can not be divorced from each other. They together form a aggregate, called life.

When the sources of happiness are to your side, you feel relaxed and comforted. The thought of loosing them gives you worries, anxiety and stress.

So What If Happiness Is Transient?

You, sure, would have realised that some of your happiness in life are also accompanied with elements like self satisfaction, fulfilment and contentment. These elements are fundamentals of enduring happiness.

Self satisfaction, self fulfilment and self contentment when generated through hard work are imperishable. They become a secondary source of happiness which is going to stay with you forever.

These attributes are born only when your deeds and actions are true, pure and justified and have approval of your inner conscience.

Even in bad times this feel of self satisfaction, self fulfilment and self contentment will bring calm, peace and smile on your face. You are a ever happy person.

Go For Activities That Bring You Joy of Satisfaction.

Realising that our life holds value and purpose, we must try to pursue such activities in our day to day life that holds value for us. These may include:

  1. Helping your mother meet her old siblings, or take her to her parents place. Recently I had been to my maternal grand parents’ village, to attend a marriage ceremony. The groom was in the third generation of my mother side. My mom couldn’t have gone there for some reasons. While returning from there, they, as a return gift, gave me cloths for my mother. For my mother, these cloths now hold an emotional value, coming from a place where she was born and brought up, reminding her own roots. And for me, my this visit brings me immense satisfaction, when I notice happiness in my mother’s nostalgic eyes for these clothes.
  2. Volunteering in cleaning up the park or religious place in your neighborhood.
  3. Volunteering at dog shelter.
  4. Helping a troubled person earn his/her living.
  5. Buying local produce from artisans.
  6. Visiting new places that add to your experiences and values.
  7. Listening the folk songs around you and trace the elements of your Village culture under its veneer.

List is almost endless. But you can sure mark and tune yourself with such activities that resonate with you and make you feel happy and satisfied.

How And Why To Meet Ourselves And Listen to Our Inner Voice?

Rendezvous for Introspection.

I, in my house, have marked certain windows, certain corners, certain sitting places, where I love to sit  in different hours of the day, with my thoughts. Accompanied with a pen and fresh sheet of paper, and along with a cup of lemon tea, I spend my quality time in these places. Yes, the time that I spend here has a qualitative value. I love to sink and swim with my thoughts, feelings and ideas, that are often triggered in me by the panoramic views of nature through these windows and the corners.

It may be the grand summer view of  the  orange-red flowers  of some Gulmohar tree ( Royal Poinciana ) from your drawing room window, or the view of a big crowned coconut tree with its shining leaves from your balcony, or the distant view of green paddy fields from your terrace, or the like ,which beacons and inspires you everyday to make you hear the ‘inner you” , “the real you.” They increase receptivity and permeability of your brain for the absorption of your inner voice.

you must have experienced that the the disorder created in you by the stress(e.g.  work pressure, responsibilities, relationships etc. ) gradually tends to get back to normal, when you sit near to your colourful rose beds, or sit on the floor near the earthen pot of jasmine creeper which climbs up with support of our balcony pillar.

In villages , you must have noticed, that away from the main house, many households have construction of an open, raised bamboo platform with only thatched roof like hood over it. Such places also provide suitable rendezvous for enjoying a thoughtful session with self.

Take A Stroll Inside You.

All these activities and interaction with nature, saturate your heart and soul with indescribable bliss and fulfilment. It  helps secrete good hormones inside you and brings rejuvenation to a “physical you”, “intellectual you” and “spiritual you”.

A purposeless life without any work is totally undesirable situation ,which attracts many psychological, physical and social issues. Tasks, assignments, responsibilities and duties, though,  are essential part of life. However amidst all these, we must reserve some time for ourselves. A time, when we can meet with ourselves and get absorbed in that moment fully to hear our inner voice. A time, when we can review our activities against our desirable goals in life, and the planning needed for this.

The Inner Voice.

Just five minutes a day for self introspection and observation will give your day, a good start. You will become  more relaxed, you will feel more centered and you may even find that answers to some puzzling situation have surfaced. Most successful persons have this practice everyday for themselves. This is worth emulating.

Such sessions will further help figure out your core competence and that what are you most passionate about? This will further indicate you about  what are the changed priorities for achieving your goals and fulfilling your dreams.

And finally, hearing your inner voice will help you acknowledge the blessings of your elders, express gratitude to the persons associated, and ofcourse, become thankful to the Almighty!

How Do Ideas Originate?

“Ideas are beginning of all fortunes”, said Napoleon Hill. Ideas are born when an individual is full of and blessed with positivity and receptivity.

J.K. Rowling conceived the idea of Harry Potter while becoming delayed on a train travelling from Manchester to London King’s Cross in 1990. Idea flashed in her mind, and she, then and there started giving words to her thoughts. Her flight of imagination pushed her in action and she kept writing incessantly. She continued to develop this idea and over the next five years she penned down the seven books of this series. Her first book (Harry Potter And the Philosopher’s Stone) was published in 1997 and became a best seller worldwide.

Chief Minister of a state in north India had his flagship program ” Chief Minister Cycle scheme for Girls,2010, Bihar”, which brought great qualitative change in the lives of school going girls by wielding them with sense of security and self dependence. The program was a big success and brought laurels to the then Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

The idea of this program, he mentions, got at a Patna district administration function, where he had to distribute cycles to the children of deprived classes. He explains how he had seen the delightful beaming face of the child, while receiving the key. This hit him deeply and idea of this program  started taking roots in his soul and mind.

Yes, idea is the nuclei around which edifice of plan of action develops. Once when asked by an interviewer, if she had been lucky?, J.K. Rowling replied, “ideas coming across my mind was perhaps a matter of luck.”

So, where lie the ideas?

Ideas form or synthesize in humans, when the zeal and determination to address an issue flares up. Humour, courage, enterprise, objectivity, honesty, prodigious industry, and skills ( physical or intellectual) are key attributes of humans. These attributes are present in varying proportion in each individual. And the matrix of these attributes decides the kind and type of idea generating inside a person.

If we remain awakened and receptive to our surrounding and, happenings in day to day life, and if we remain alive to our needs and available opportunities, there must come a point of intersection where an idea of possible success may germinate in you.

Yes, adversities may rain ideas!

Adversity introduces a man to himself. It may not make a man rich but ofcourse, it makes him wise by suggesting ideas that suit him. Adversities bring forth such ideas that drives an individual to do things that create history.

Dashrath Manjhi (of Mountain Man fame), of Gaya district in Bihar (India), slit a hill in to two, and created a passage (110 meter long,9.1 meter wide and 7.7meter deep!) in between, manually, only with the help of hammer and chisel. The idea happened to him when he lost his wife due to not getting timely treatment because the nearest town with a doctor was 55 km away. By carving out path through the hill, he had made his village accessible to the town by reducing the distance to 15km. The impossible was done!

Numerous such examples abound history when discrimination, exploitation, handicaps triggered ideas, which when acted upon passionately, yielded results.

Ideas are not slave to anyone!

Also, ideas are not private property or slave to any one. Same idea may occur to other person’s mind as well. So if you don’t act on them, some other person may translate that on the ground. It has been said truly, “Good ideas are common – what is uncommon are people who will work hard enough to bring them about.”

So, What are you thinking about!!!

Just Be Yourself.

Just Be Yourself.
It is necessary to remind ourselves that this existence of' 'myself', also needs to be pampered, valued and cared. Image Credit: pixinio.com
Just Be Yourself. Image Credit: pixinio.com

Be Yourself, Because Your Life Is Yours Too!

It happens to many of us that  knowingly or unknowingly, we begin to under prioritize ourselves. We start giving preference to the needs of others , and begin to put our own needs at second place. And when we consistently do this over time, we suffer and so do they, who need us.

So in broader context, it is necessary to remind ourselves that this existence of’ ‘myself’, also needs to be pampered, valued and cared.

A person may become valuable  to others, if only, he takes care of himself in entirety. Taking care in entirety, means being assertive about one’s likes and dislikes, one’s health and fitness, one’s career, one’s hobby, one’s passion etc.

Being too much conscious about what others think of you , will gradually reduce you in a second version of real, original you. And this is totally undesirable situation.

Be Yourself And Respect Your Traits.

Every person is a unique combination of its personal traits.

Someone is physically more capable and likes to enjoy field job. Some other is a bookworm and likes to spend hours in reading books. Some other has leadership qualities and is interested in social work.

Any person may become  successful in his profession, only when demands of his profession are in tune with his inherent traits.

And again for that matter, as a parent, you should be watchful to observe whether you have  handed out your child a recipe for which he is not the right cook? Parents shouldn’t  pressurise their children to exactly replicate some other person. This will crush their individuality. Rather parents should recognise the inherent talent in their children, and suggest them how their inherent talent can be best employed in choosing their career.

Be yourself means Assert Your Individuality.

How can you expect a ring to remain stable like a cube? Nor can you expect a cube to roll like a ring. Both have special and beautiful geometry. And non can replace another in terms of features and utility.

That means, you can shine brightest when you work as “true you.”  R.W.Emerson has rightly said, “to be yourself in world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

Learn The Art of Saying ‘No’.

‘Always at your care’ type life produces a sulked, suppressed and shrunk personality. Just learn the art of saying ‘No’ in life and take care for your personal dreams and hopes. Adopt ‘positive selfishness’ to have time and moments exclusive to you.

To Err Is Human.

Putting all your energy in not letting any mistake happen – is not feasible. By doing so you disconnect yourself from the adventures of new ways and routes.

Learn from your mistake and move ahead. Never feel upset in case of some material loss. Just keep your head high, keep your chin up and keep smiling.

You are a human being. Never try to act ‘Mr. Right’ all the time. This will dangerously desiccate the sap of your internal inspirations. Remember, our development is essentially attached with acceptance of our assets as well as our drawbacks.

Hence, be yourself, appreciate yourself , respect yourself!
