You know those people who are on the street offering courses in marketing, English, administration, IT? Who approach you asking what your professional goal is and then say that one of these courses will help you to have a better qualification in the job market?
Well then.
I never paid much attention to these people
I always came up with some excuse to end the conversation right away, but today I ended up giving in and winding up. I don't know, I wanted to see what it would turn out to be. And it gave me a headache that I'm still solving.
I accompanied the girl who approached me to the room where the manager would tell me the price of the courses. As I climbed the stairs, I felt that this was going to be a problem, but once again I didn't listen to my intuition and the worst thing is that I know that my intuition is never wrong. They came to talk to me, passed the values – ABSURD! – and they offered me a discount.
I said that I didn't have money available at that time to invest in a course, I said that I can manage on my own and that I don't like to ask my parents for money, I claimed that I didn't want to pay anything else on credit before my bill turned over and that I would like more time to think about and that, if that were the case, I would come back. I also said that I want to be a writer and that none of those courses would help me at that moment.
Even though they looked at me like I was an ET and even said that they had never seen someone who liked writing so much that they turned it into a profession, they kept insisting. Obviously I didn't even want to look at those people's faces anymore: two sitting in front of me and one standing, all pressing me. At that moment, a thought came to me:
That's what being GOOD is all about, you end up being made a fool because you don't say a simple "no". If you were GOOD, you would have saved your time and theirs.
That's it: sometimes we get into a trap because we want to be too polite, too nice, because we're afraid of displeasing. What is this need of wanting to please that makes it difficult for us to say “NO” firmly? In fact, I'm not even that muggle, I paid to see it and I regretted it. But if it weren't for this event, I wouldn't have the learning, nor the text.
story summary
The pressure was so much (to give you an idea, when I said I didn't have my credit card, the manager even asked the girl to accompany me home to pick it up) that I ended up signing a contract without even reading it and even forgot to pick it up. a copy. And they didn't give it to me either and they even told me that if I broke the contract I would have to pay a fine. I am now psychologically preparing myself for the stress to come.
There are a lot of deadbeat and profiteering people out there, you can't expect everyone to be sensible or that there will always be someone to help you, or that God will solve the problem for you. In fact, I know that God gives us all the skills we will need to get by in this life, and one of the skills He gave me was the strength, the ability to be firm and create barriers. That was the moment to make use of this quality, but I went to be GOOD and it worked.
