Cigarettes were once promoted as healthy — by doctors.
Leeches were used to “heal” people by draining their blood — and killed countless people.
Breakfast? “The most important meal of the day” — pushed by cereal companies.
Each of these “truths” had experts, ads, and even research behind them.
And each turned out to be wrong.
Thomas Edison said:
Most people don’t think — they just repeat.
Some doubt everything and call it thinking.
Others trust only what they see.
And many think without ever experiencing anything.
As Einstein said:
Thinking without experience is like reading a map
and never walking the path.
Reality isn’t truth.
It’s a mirror —
and it stays unbroken until a dream or purpose
forces you to see differently.
I once believed I couldn’t run like other guys.
In my teenage years, I wasn’t good at sports — I couldn’t even breathe properly.
Now? I run More than 10 km per hour in 6 hours non-stop (with no water). Please don't do it : It's not healthy! I just took the risk to defeat my demons.
I don’t run to impress anyone.
I run to prove to myself that I can.
To break limits I once thought were fixed.
And I realized the same discipline applies to business: persistence, endurance, and focus
can push results faster than money ever could.
Stop judging who speaks.
Start seeking what’s true.
Truth isn’t handed to you —
it’s discovered by those who dare
to think and act beyond the mirror.
Edit:
The first time I ran, I got home quickly, breathing heavily. I went straight to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and just lay there for a while. Then I went to my bedroom and jumped on my bed.
The next day, I got up and started jogging slowly. Each night after 8 p.m., I went outside to jog. One evening, I met someone and tried to compete with him — he was running at full speed for an hour non-stop. I couldn’t keep up.
So I stopped. But the next night, I ran 5 km in 30 minutes. That’s how everything started. I kept running for hours and even gained a few fans along the way.
