Most people who know me know very well that I do not have
any personal style. I don’t have any sense of fashion and style and my dress up
is terrible. I am not organized and there is nothing positive about me in this
regard. Well, I accept it and perhaps, many of you would think that I am a
miserable person. May be I am to some extent but I am not that much worried for
that. Why, simply because I have found my own personal style in life. I don’t
care if most people on earth do not admire it but I am more or less content and
happy.
Define Style: I am happy because I have realized one
important truth in life- there is no fixed definition of style. Of course, many
people think that style means beautiful dress up, witty conversational skill,
good taste of food and drink and so on. I am sure that you can understand what
I am referring to. Just read these articles:
Unfortunately or fortunately, I differ with their definition
of style. I do not love the idea of equating fashion with style. In real life,
if we look around us, we simply cannot find that most people act like fashion
models.
Smart Personality or smart dress up: The fashion industry
spends millions if not billions of dollars every day to promote their products.
However, they also try to brainwash us that smart dress up equates to smart
personality. That should not be the case. There is no reason that you should feel
inferior if you cannot afford to buy that fashionable dress. You are perfectly
normal if you like to wear simple dress.
Be clean and Tidy: What is perhaps most important is to be
clean and tidy. I have to admit that I am not that much tidy but I have some
personal reasons behind it. It is not that I don’t want to be tidy but I simply
cannot give the time for it. Most people can and most of you should wear clean
clothes and become tidy. However, I feel that your sense of style should not be
limited to only this. You should develop a smart personality. Smart personality
is not simply the ability to have witty conversation or being funny and
attractive in society. It should be more than that.
Read, Think and Write: Once upon a time, someone told me
that he had a habit of reading 15 minutes every day. At that time, I felt that
the man was boasting for nothing as I always read many hours a day. Anyway,
now, I can see that many people do not have that habit of allocating 15 minutes
from their daily life to reading. So, please read something every day, think
about what you are reading. If possible write something every day- even it is
just 100 words. If you do it for one year then you will notice that you have
really developed your own sense of style and your own voice.
Focus on your interest: If you want to develop your own
sense of style then learn to focus on your interest. May be you like to read
books, you like to watch movies, do gardening whatever. By taking your interest
seriously, you will feel happier and satisfied. You will forget the pain of not
being able to buy that expensive dress or expensive haircut. Instead, you will
become someone in your field of interest someday.
Find your strong sides: I love to read and write and when it
comes to writing, I do not claim that I am a very good writer but I have
noticed that compared to most people around me, I can write faster. I hardly
struggle when I write. I have realized that writing is my strong side. I feel
happy when I write, I feel happy when my writing gets published or praised. So,
you try to find your strong sides and work on them. You will become sharp and
it will help you a lot in front of others.
Never mind if you are not cool: When you are a teenager then
it is understandable that you want to be cool. If you are not cool then it may
even mean to be the end of the world. However, when you reach to the age of 30
or 35 then you will notice that nothing means the end of the world.
Just need to find one girl or one boy: A girl like you- have you
heard the song of Cliff Richards or I want to Hold Your hand
of the Beatles. Actually, in life, you just need to find just one girl or one
boy. That is enough. So, don’t feel frustrated if you are not cool to most
people. If you are honest and hard working then there is a good possibility
that you will be happy in your marriage life.
Revenge of the Nerds: You don’t need to be a nerd to enjoy this film.
This movie was not a blockbuster hit but created a sense of pride and
satisfaction among many uncool people around the world.
Final Words: Well, I guess that this blog post would not
attract much to most readers. However, if you are lost in life and searching
for a personal style then just remember that you don’t have to listen to me or
anyone else. What you need to do is to believe in yourself.
