The most important person in the world.

Every morning, you wake up, brush your teeth and dress up well before you step out into the world. Why do you take all that trouble? Have you ever thought of that?

You do it all for yourself? No? Well, you brush your teeth so that nobody would think your mouth smells bad. Right? You dress up well because you would like others to have a good impression of you. You want to look good. Right?

Yes, you do all those things and more for yourself. You. It is because what others see of you is important to you. You want to be the freshest face in the crowd. You want to be the best dressed person in the world. You want people to respect you.

Of course, there are among you, those who think that others should respect you for what you are. So, you may dress in a particular way which may not necessarily be the best according to other people’s standard. Perhaps, you want to be the unique guy or gal who wants to show the world you can be very attractive with a simple T-shirt and a pair of jeans. You want to make some kind of impression on others. What counts is what you believe in.

So, whatever it may be, you are the one uppermost in your mind. Whatever you do is for you and nobody else.

Even when you, if you are a man, are thinking of giving flowers to a girl on her birthday, it is because YOU like or love her. If someone else were to like or love her and not you, then YOU would not be thinking of giving her flowers.

Similarly, a girl leaves a man who have not shown concern for HER. She did not want to help the man change her attitude towards her. If he does not show his concern, forget him. Does she think of him? Does she ever think that perhaps there is good reason for his behavior; that she could help him to to overcome whatever problem that could have beset him? No, because he is not important any more. He is only important to her as long as he pleases her.

So, from the above examples, the most important person in the world is you. You yourself! Throughout life, we do things for ourselves by giving attention to somebody or something in order to achieve a certain goal in our lives.

So, each morning, when you wake up, go to the mirror and give yourself a beautiful smile to start your day. Smile at the most important person in the world.
