I've always believed that people are born with good handwriting coz that's the only explanation I can give for having the kind of terrible writing I have.
I was never beaten for it though, I just learned on my own that when I write slower and am a bit more conscious, I tend to write better. My mind works fast and most times people who have horrible handwriting tend to have a lot of things on their minds while writing, that's probably why we're great with keyboards. Then again, I might be wrong.
I also have this belief that people are just born with certain personality traits. So while you and someone else were receiving such harsh treatment for the same misconduct, you could turn out better while the other person would turn out worse off, blaming their present problems on that particular situation. I don't know if that makes sense.
You were just born a little less sensitive to your past experiences.
Hmm, no I don't think so.
I learned not to attach stories to events from my past and use them as reasons for lack of success. Rather, I used those events to learn other things, find ownership and responsibility, learn right and wrong, good and bad and when to apply each of them.
I'm a very sensitive person, more than anyone on Hive (and most in real life) will ever know. I have a never quit attitude though, and a simple beating only makes me stronger, more resilient, determined and focused. I can't recall my last beating, so many years ago, but each of them, and the self-taught lessons I learned have made me the man I am today. A pretty good one, I think. Mostly.
I guess I didn't put that right. Your experiences make you better. I understand that.
Ah, ok I've misunderstood you. 😊
