HUMAN VALUES
INTIMIDATION WILL HALT YOUR PROGRESS IN LIFE.
Why do people get intimidated?
When you are intimidated you become fragile and weak.
You may be panic stricken and your activities get slowed down.
You cannot progress further.
You cannot do what you had to do.
Negative and authoritative people often use this technique.
To stop you from doing something, they will intimidate you.
You will not feel like doing what you wanted to do.
If a person attacks you frontally, you will defend yourself and then start again on your road.
But if someone intimidates you, you get scared and become weak.
If you were to tell the truth about someone, you no longer want to go forward with it.
When you want to testify against someone, there are people who will tell you that you must be careful;
That you must be sure of what you are doing;
That you must ensure that what you are doing is correct;
That you must think of the possible repercussions.
Sometimes you may even get a threatening call on the telephone.
And then you start to think again and say that you don’t want to go forward.
There was the case of the music teacher who was jealous of one of her students.
She saw in her a potential rival.
She knew that the student had a good voice and that she sang well.
People were all praise for that student.
And the teacher was so jealous that she tried everything to intimidate the student and to discourage her from continuing.
When you are praiseworthy and have a certain quality, many people will try to intimidate you and block your progress.
This is a habit for negative people.
To intimidate you, they will look for your weak point.
You must never let anyone know your weak point.
Because when someone gets to know your weakness he will know where to attack you.
He knows that this is the only way he can intimidate you.
When he attacks you on your weak point, you get scared.
You become discouraged.
And you don’t want to pursue what you were doing.
There are many cases where brilliant students, who were better than their teachers, left their studies because they were intimidated by the teachers.
This has happened in the field of fashion design, in music and in painting.
When the teacher sees that one day the pupil will surpass him, he intimidates him.
It has also happened in the martial arts where one teacher noticed that a pupil will surpass his level.
The teacher may still be better in the field but he was a late starter and had certain limitations.
The pupil on the other hand was young and had the talent and the perseverance.
The teacher started intimidating him and this led to the pupil abandoning the discipline.
Intimidation often leads to discouragement.
This means that intimidation will put a brake to your progress.
In this life many people will try to intimidate you.
But if you have a strong brain, their intimidation will have no effect on you.
Then with your own effort you will progress and become successful in life.
