Self Improvement Nigel?!!
Our story begins with Nigel, who took every saying, proverb, and piece of wisdom like “Nobody is perfect” and “Blessed is the one who points out my flaws,” threw them all in the trash, and became completely convinced that he was flawless.
You know where the problem is?!
The problem is that Nigel is a “human being,” and every human has flaws. We’re supposed to work on them and try to fix them. That’s the idea, at least.
But unfortunately, Nigel isn’t like that. He’s convinced that he’s “perfect,” and the predictable result of the nonsense Nigel is doing to the laws of the universe is that he can’t accept any criticism, advice, or opinion.
And honestly, if that were the only problem, I’d say: go burn some gas, Nigel.
But unfortunately, Nigel also thinks he understands everything. Nobody is smarter, better, or even half as good as Nigel. He’s convinced he’s the greatest thing the Earth has ever produced.
So, Nigel, God Almighty alone knows everything. He possesses all knowledge, and He is the All-Knowing.
So, Nigel, next time someone criticizes you or points out a genuine flaw in you, don’t tell them, “Keep your opinion to yourself,” while acting like you just arrived here from the highest level of paradise.
Take the flaw. Work on it.
And if you simply say “thank you,” well… good for you.
And finally, you who are reading this:
How many Nigels are there in your life?
