How to Avoid Being Naive.


Have you ever realized that someone you thought was a 'friend' is in reality a 'frenemy’?
Have you ever realized that someone you trusted is low-key sabotaging your success? 

Just because you have good faith in people doesn't mean you should be naive. 

Here are some lessons I learned to stop being naive & step-up my game; 

1-Honesty isn't always the best policy, keep your personal information private for your own sake. Life is a chess game; sharing can leave you vulnerable to your ill-wishers.

2-Even better; get better at reading people. Human beings are predictable. So get better at anticipating people's behaviour by listening more and paying attention to their words and actions. It's a learnable skill.

3-Listen to your gut feeling. This 'God-given' magic feeling that is supposed to alert you when something/someone isn't trustworthy. Our gut feelings are useful; use them. 

4-Grind in silence! They won't see it coming, and they won't know what hit them. Live by Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) 's words: "استعينوا على قضاء حوائجكم بالكتمان" "; basically, fulfill your needs in silence. 

5-Basically, privacy is power. 

Have you ever experienced an instance where someone took advantage of your naivety & trust?
