On Life And Business : How To Deal With Fools
This is a post that I had always wanted to make. And though the title may seem harsh but we all have fools in our lives, whether knowingly or unknowingly, it may that your little brother or that your friend who does not just "get it"
Fools don't always appear like fools. they are often well packaged, some of them even have degrees and acolades, but that does not change the fact that they are fools.
Actually fools are often promoted because they can remain undetected for years, they don't challenge the Status quo or have an understanding of what is coming , so people who gets value from the Status quo love them and work with them
We have all seen this in various sectors of Life and business. The most recent is that we see in the war against Bitcoin and the Blockchain, we have seen educated Men and even Nobel Lauretes in economics come out and Bash Bitcoin despite the overwhleming evidence on ground that the Blockchain is the future of Money
In this short period of time we have on this earth, don't waste your time trying to educate fools, Information does not change a fool. Corrections and Confrontation does not change a fool. Confronting a fool can be likened to showing a thief where the security cameras are, he will learn to avoid them on his way to rob
The reaction of the people in power to the Blockchain right now is finding ways to stifle it's growth.
You cannot change fools, I say this because most people spend their time arguing with fools with the hope that they will be able to change them.Hope is a proof of inexperience, when you have experience of how the mind of fools work then you won't waste time arguing with them
Even God does not waste time with fools, there is a popular Christian belief that God does not give up on people, that is true but only works when you seek him. if you hold on to your eveil ways, God does not come down from Heaven to argue with you to change
I will like to drive home this point on the Nature of fools, you may still not understand what I mean by fools being well packaged. They are not without gifts or talents, fools are often mesmirising and they may even have influence
If you have knowledge you will want to influence and fools will always want to Influence you with what they know. But listeneing to a fool is fatal, they will always demoralize you

We are in the month of connection, try to give your attention to people who really have an understanding of the times. You are an average of five people you spend time with. This goes beyond physical contact, technology have given us the keys to people lives and we now have the ability to recieve Mentorship from people who live far away from us
Our eyes and ears are gates, what we spend time feeding them with determines how our lives will pan out, so in this Month of connection try to give your your attention to the right people
Information is the seed for change and the kind of Information you expose yourself to will determine how far you go
In all you do this Month, always try to link up with the right breed of people, don't walk with those who will make you comfortable with where you are, walk with those who will make you work towards change
If you are first in your class, then you are in the wrong class
Yes as you said, the title may look harsh but as for me the only way to say the truth is "to say the truth". When you war with pigs, they even feel blessed and you end up regreting it. No need taking battle with fools, no need doing things for them to acknowledge it, instead do things the best way it should be. Thanks bro. You are cool
Thanks for your Insight @grigweeu
This message is fantastic. Hat of to you @ogochukwu. i like your state of mind. I have also learn not to waste my time with those that will not add value to me and move with those that will put me to race for more achievement.
This post make me remember @akrid's post where he talked about the kind of people that should be invited to steemit and not wasting time on those that will not add value to the platform. You can read more about it Here
Thanks again. Bless you bro.
Nice to hear from you @seyiodus. I will definately check out the post.
I used to be first in my class :)
Kai ....Goes off to cry :)
The thing about the people who do not believe the blockchain is the future is because they do not want change. There is always this inertia to change; people will still resist it till they find out its either they join the train or be left stranded.
I ignore people who do not have an open mind and therefore not amenable to adapt to changing times, the effort you put up trying to win them over most times ends up wasted as they are usually too stuck in their ways.
This one weak me 😂😂😂. I am sure you are wise bro @greenrun
I ignore such people to the extent that they begin to doubt their existence
Lol at the last sentence. You just cease to exist due to the extent you refuse to acknowledge their existence. Lol
What more can I say on this than a fool is a fool. This is well defined bro.
Thanks for reading @dorth
ahaaaa tremendous explanation of fool. thumbs up dear.
but one thing I want to include also. why some people are fool??? because they don't have any idea or knowledge of the field in which you working. so if you want to discuss your field with them. this is the waste of time. because they are unaware and take it as a joke.
Thanks for reading @mashwanii
Fool are not good to work with u may give them a punch of work but they will fail miserable so don't waste your time trying to impress the fool they will make u feel miserable when u even try to talk to them
Very true @otunolakayode
I don't even waste time to drop such people off. I don't even have that kind of patience.
😂😂😂. Others are leaving your are dropping. No Joy. I will start dropping it seems when you leave they follow you @namlove
This is a post I've often thought of thinking, as I'm tired of arguing with fools myself and, as you very well say, out time here is too short for that. Luckily, we live in an era that allows us to surround ourselves, at least virtually, with people you can actually talk to. Great post.
