Turn negative into positive
Welcome to my
article (10), Hello my world, or perhaps I should call this article, turning
negative happenings into positive thinking;
Turn negative into positive
-
The brain is the place where we feel all our pains and other sensations. We think too many things with our brain, sometimes what we are thinking has a negative affect on us. So, if we want to live a better life then we have to try to turn negative happenings into positive thinking, we need to do that in order to live a better life for ourselves.

Dear readers, in
order to turn negative happening into positive thinking one has got to go
through a long process of many stages and so have I, if you read between the
lines even this article tells you that I am still during that; you see, I
wanted to call this article many names while going through this process, one of
which was ‘Crying out loud or overcoming our inner pains’, because this is what
this article is all about; but then I have taken another step forward and I was
going to call it, Hello my world, because I would like to live in this present
and future world that I imagine for myself and not in the past, with the values
that I believe could apply to me in my
case; therefore I was looking at what I could do, if I wanted really to break
away from this negative thinking of the past that still persists in me these
days
So, while I was
thinking about what to do, I came to the conclusion that I had to change
negative happenings to positive thinking, and therefore I have decided to call
this article, turn negative into positive, now here under are the steps that I
have to take in order to succeed in my attempt of breaking away from the past,
I know that what I am going to do is going to look a big jump and also a bit
risky, because I am trying to go from negative happenings into positive thinking
in a single step, but I am going to take the chance and see if it work out for
me in this article.
So this article is
going to be a bit jumpy, as I will be jumping from one subject to another
without real explanation between them; so, I hope that you my readers do not
mind this bumpy ride that I am taking you through. So, in this article not only
I am going to write about, “Hello my world” I will also write something about
the ways that we sometimes behave, since my life experience has thought me also
that part and then we will go back to our own life story, since we have not
finished yet to tell you my farming life story; you see, it seems to me that
everybody would have a story to tell and I would like to tell you mine.
Therefore, let me
break away from my farm life story just for this hub and we will return to my
farm life story later on, as this hub is between the past and the present time,
therefore I would like to tell you just how I have felt after I left the farm.
You see, I have to say that I am sorry to tell you my sad story and that I have
felt hurt my entire life, just because I had to live my early life in the farm
without even knowing the consequences that could follow from that type of
living, so even today my inner self wants to cry out aloud why this had to
happen to me and my family.
But then I think
that to cry over past events all the time is not going to help me anyhow,
therefore, today I am going to express myself with the knowledge that I have
painfully acquired later on in my life; you see, in doing what I am going to do
here and also hereunder, I would like to throw away my shyness forever and
never look back at those drawbacks that I had early in my life; so I would like
to come into the world and be able to say what I want to say, and therefore
break away from the past forever; I would like to introduce myself to the world
and here is what I would like to say with a loud voice, instead of crying within
myself and feeling sorry for myself; I am going to turn those negative
experiences into positive thinking and say, Hello my world and try to fit in
with other people as well, this is one of the bumpy rides I was talking about
above.
-----------------------------------------------------
HELLO MY WORLD
HELLO MY WORLD!
HERE I COME TO YOU WITH OPEN ARMS.
Hello world! Hello
life! Hello everybody!
And a great and
warm “Hello” To all those who are very close to me and love me!
Dear readers, this
is one of my imaginary ways of how I could break free from my boring and also
shy life that I have lived until now, so, may I have your attention just for a
moment, please? Because I hope that you would listen about what I am going to
say and be my friends, you see, today above all I would like very much to be
friendly with you all, since we all live in this world, so, we are here and we
seem to be going all the same way, while we try to live the best way we can in
this present earthly life that we live nowadays.
So, I hope that you
will allow me to be your friend, since I am a lonely man and I am looking for
friendship today; I am asking you to be my friends because it seems to me that
you are good people and many of you over here look very friendly to me; I hope
that I am right and you are good people and that you are very friendly people
as well. So may I ask, if I may have the pleasure of your company, please?
I know that what I
am saying right now may not make sense to some of you, because it might not be
the best way to find new friends, and I also know that I need to learn many new
ways of how to become friend and be friendly with people and the way of how to
introduce oneself and other things; but you see, I have lived my young live in
a very isolated place, so I hope that you don’t mind when I make some mistakes,
while I am trying to say something that is important to me, because I have
never been trained to be a smooth talker, as you can see from what I am saying.
Anyhow at this
present time, just because I am writing this article, we happen to be in this
position where I am the writer or speaker you are the reader or the listeners,
so, I hope that you don’t mind me if I ask some questions which have come to my
mind, because they are very important to me, and I hope that my asking will not
upset you in any way, I hope also that you don’t mind me personally, as I am
very keen to be your friend as I said I am looking for friends, so, in my own
strange ways, I would like to meet you all if I could, or at least all those
that are thinking that they could be friend with me. Since I would like to
share some of my time with you, and also some of my very personal views, that
is of course, if you think that you could be my friend and stand by me and you
don’t mind listening to what I am going to say, as I would like to talk about a
few things that are on my mind at the present time, and these are things that effect
all of us during our life, as it has affected me.
So let me say what
I have to say first of all, usually I am a shy man and I don’t like to be a
show off or anything of that sort, but because today I have made up my mind to
be a different man, and would like to be a man of the world that is able to
live his life freely in the best way possible in today’s world, therefore I am
making a great effort to achieve that at this very moment, and because this is
the first time that I have met you, I would like to introduce myself the proper
way and make your acquaintance personally, this is one of those things that I
have learned lately, one needs to know how to introduce oneself easily; so let
us do that and let us see and practise how to introduce ourselves politely
today and take a look how it was done in the bygone days.
Therefore, since
here we are talking to a group of people, I would explain my introduction thus
and say: I would like to shake your hand to each one of you, and while I am
shaking your hand, I might say, “How do you do” To Mr Y. or X. and no matter
who you are; when we were introduced to other people or we introduced
yourselves we said; “How do you do!” And then, in order to be polite to each
and every one of us, we used to bend low and say again, “How do you do!” and
“How do you do!” again. This is how it was done in the good old bygone days, as
we all very well know nowadays.
Having said that,
now allow me to introduce myself in a modern and simple way.
Hello, my name is,
“Francesco Menchise” and I am from Brisbane Australia; while I am doing this if
I am close enough to the person that I am introducing myself I would put my
right hand forward ready to shake hand it the other person accept my hand
shake; here the other person is supposed to also extend his hand and accept my
hand shake, while shaking hand the other person is supposed to say pleased to meet
you, followed by his name (John West?) so he is also introducing himself at the
same time, and then I could say the pleasure is mine and talk about whatever is
necessary.
Just to say something, I might say, my name is
Francesco Menchise, but everybody here calls me Frank, and Frank sounds good
and friendly to me, and it is easy to say; so, just call me Frank and let it
be, as it will be easy for you and me.
Now that I have
introduced myself in a modern and mannerly way, let me go back to talk as if I
am talking to a group of people: May I ask you your names please? So that you
can also introduce yourself, and then we can be friends; I’d like to shake your
hand to each one of you, and while I shake your hands I will say, “I am pleased
to meet you!” You may answer me, “I am pleased to meet you too.” Or if you wish
you may say, “The pleasure is mine.”
Why the introduction above
Here I need to
explain the reason why I have written this personal introduction above. I have
written this introduction in my writing, in order to give it the importance it
deserves in real life, I know that are a few different ways for introducing
people to each other, and some people might use different ways of introducing
people to each other, so my introduction might not be the best, but it points
out that it is necessary to know some forms of introduction. I know that because
when I was young this was something that nobody tried to teach me, and this
lack of knowledge sometimes makes things really awkward later in life.
You see most of us
are not born with that presence of mind that automatically would try to
introduce ourselves, therefore I believe that it is very important that all
children be thought and drilled, on how to introduce themselves properly from
their parents and teachers. Not only in the way that I have done it above,
where it might seem perhaps aggressive: But let the introductions be done in
several other ways as it is supposed to be done in real life. So that the
children will automatically be ready when a real introduction need to happen
and they will feel secure of themselves. Otherwise they will feel awkward and
shy, and they will feel that they have put themselves in a disadvantaged
position.
Therefore, now that
we have introduced ourselves to each other, and I am so pleased to have met you
all; May I have the pleasure and be allowed to have a friendly talk with you?
Just to start talking
and say something that happens every day, I would like to start with a simple
everyday talk, which people talk about every day of their lives, and I would
like to tell you how I feel, when I see the way that we behave nowadays,
because I believe that sometimes we behave in a strange and unreal way. This
observation that I have made during my life, I would like to point it out to
you to prove my point. But in order to do that I would like to ask you a
friendly question; it is a question that anybody would ask you out of
politeness, and sometimes this question may take the place of a polite
greening. But strange as it may seem, everybody usually gives the same answer
to this question or greeting. You may not believe me of course, but here is the
proof of what I have just said.
And this question
that sound like a greeting would usually be: How are you? Or perhaps: How are
you today?
And I am sure that
you will all answer me; I am very well, thank you. Or perhaps you’ll say, I am
well, or I am fine, or I feel great, or I feel as good as gold thanks very
much.
And then just to be
polite to me you’ll ask me back. And how are you today? (And then you’ll expect
from me very much the same answers that you have given me.) I am very well,
thank you. Or I am fine. I am as good as gold thanks, and so on. This seems to
me unreal, so I am going to write something hereunder about the ways that we
sometimes behave.
------------------
This is the way that sometimes we behave
The way that we
behave
This part of the
story that I am presently writing, I almost did not want to write it here,
because I have already lamented it somewhere else, but I feel forced to write
it anyhow, just because it fits my story that I am writing now, after all I was
going to call this hub overcoming our inner pains, so let me cry my heart out
and say what I have to say, because this is going to be one of my hidden
laments as well. And this is how I see the way that we behave and it is unreal.
Speaking for
myself, the reality of life is that I find life for me has lots of ups and
downs, and even if I don’t admit them to you, I feel them within myself. So,
when you happen to ask me, ‘How are you?’ I may happen to be very much down,
but, I will still answer you: I am very well, thank you! So, my dear readers,
listeners or friends, there are no doubts about our behaviour that it is
sometimes strange, and so, we have to admit that:
We behave sometimes as if everything is indeed
unreal, when we do say things that we do not mean or feel. And even when our
own heart is hurt and cries in pains, we do turn to the world and pretending
smile again, because we don’t want the world to see our pains. But all the
efforts that we have made have been in vain. Because our heart still hurts and
we still feel that pain.
I am sure that some
of you will agree with me about what I have just written above, because you may
have been in a painful situation yourself sometimes, and therefore you know and
understand what I mean. But at the same time one may also ask here: What’s the
use to pretend such a thing? When it is only pretence? Even if it has been able
to make one feel better for a few moments, and one has been able to overcome
the inner pains and has smiled just for a second. But, is all this pretence
worthwhile to live one’s life in such a way deceiving oneself?
But then it might
indeed be worthwhile, just because we have been able to control ourselves and
for a few moments we have felt well in the middle of all those afflictions that
might be bugging us, but anyhow every one of us does this his own way, because
our lives are different to other people life and so our story is different
also, therefore every one of us has a story to tell.
As you can see, we
sometimes behave in strange ways; my own judgement here is that, perhaps it
might be worth behaving in such a deceitful way, not because we have been able
to lie to ourselves, but because we have been able to control our own pains.
And we have been able to live as well as one can; so that, one would be in
control of oneself.
What I have written
above is all part of my life story, and here in this hub I have been trying to
turn negative experiences into positive action; I don’t know if I have
succeeded to do that, but at least I have tried, and I am still trying today. But
anyhow, let us go back to tell you the story of my life.
-------------------------------------------
Every man or woman has a story to tell
Every man or woman
has a story to tell
In this hub we are
writing it as if there is a group of people willing to listen what we want to
say. Having said that, now I look around me to see who is still listening to
me, and I see that you are all nice people here with me. So, I hope that within
yourselves you are happy with your own way of life that you are living now, and
the way that you are living your life overall. I hope that the way that you are
living your life is good for you for your own sake, because sometimes life can
be very boring up to the point where it may become painful; this is when things
don’t go the right way, which is the way that one wants them to go. And here I
have to admit that I happen to be in such painful position myself very often:
And when this happens to me I am going through one of those grey days, and my
life is boring and seems to be at a standstill. So, I feel so frustrated about
my life that I have to ask myself. Oh my God! Why life has got to be so hard
and boring for me these days? What have I done to deserve this? Why don’t I
have the chance like everybody else to enjoy life as it should be enjoyed? And
many other hard questions come to mind.
Therefore, I feel
that life has not given me what by rights I should have deserved from it, and
for that reason I can’t help thinking about life itself, and the ways that I am
spending my life these days, together with the way that I have spent the
earlier part of my life, so, I keep asking myself whether life has really
treated me the right way. Or should I have really deserved a better life?
Then I think: I
suppose that lots of other people of my age are going over their own lives just
like me, and they may well be asking themselves; what is life all about? And
whether life has treated them fair enough for that matter, so, they are looking
back at that part of life that they have already lived, and wonder about
whether life has been good for them or not, and they might have the impression
that: That part of life that they have already lived now seems only a dream, a
dream that has lasted for so many years, but now all those years have gone
forever and they never will come back, so now for them, all that is left of
their lives is a story to tell, if they can find the time to tell their story,
and if they find somebody that will listen to their story
So, every man and
woman has a story to tell; no matter how unimportant it may seem, and how
stupid and ridiculous it may sound, when they tell it to you. But, because it
is their life story it is very important to them, and they can’t change it
because it is their true life story. But if one listens to their true life
story even if it is not much of a story, in the end it may bring up some good
common sense to some of us, and one can always learn something useful from
their true story, if one takes the time and listens to their true life story,
even if their story is not much of a story.
To come to this hub
conclusion, we should say; whatever are our lives stories and whatever pains we
have been through during your life, we must try to overcome our inner pains, if
we are going to live a better life. Therefore, we have to try to turn negative
things into positive thinking that is the only way to try to live a better life
in the future.
This is all that we
want to say in this article; so, see you next time with; my farm life
continues. (11)
