    Lesson 2: If you have Talent, don't rub it in.


    As this has been resembled in many Cutie Mark Crusaders episodes, having a talent can be very fulfilling. However, if you have a talent and you rub it in peoples faces, it can lead to sadness on the others part.
    Obvious enough isn't it?
    I don't mean that you shouldn't share your talent with others, as it's God's gift to you, but making fun of somebody who isn't good at what he wants to be while you're an exceeding prodigy can hurt peoples feelings. (Yes, I'm trying very hard not to sound harsh in this blog.)
    So, what do you do about it? If you have a good talent, then be modest about it. If you're an amazing pianist and somebody has a piano in their home, don't just shove them aside and start blaring out Beethoven's fifth. (I don't even know if that's a piano piece but hey) At least ask them for permission to do so! Unless you're a teacher, you really shouldn't judge people and criticize them on something that you're much better at than them, because obviously you're better and they won't do as well to begin with.
    See what I'm getting at? Being outward and obsessive over your cutie mark can be a pain for others, and you'd be surprised how many every day people don't realize this.
     
    Then there's the opposite of haha-I'm-better-than-you-let-me-rub-it-in-your-face; the unnoticed talent.
    I shall cite an example for this: To Kill a Mockingbird.
    In chapter 10, Atticus shoots a mad dog to save his neighborhood and family. In doing so, he reveals his amazing bulls eye shot and his awesome talent at marksmanship.
    THAT NONE OF THE CHILDREN KNEW ABOUT TILL THEN.
     
    Having a talent is one thing, but hiding it and burying it from your life should be frowned upon. If you have a talent, stick with it and become good at it. Don't throw it in peoples faces, and don't hide it from everybody. There's a very fine line there that everybody should strive for. I'll admit even I can't discern it sometimes and I become prideful in my work and get riled up at others when they dislike it. But in the end, that's what having a talent is about. Being modest and not being sore about it.

    LESSON 1: Don't do creepy annoying things.


    You'd think with such an obvious title more people would pay attention and actually take it to heart. While they couldn't necessarily do an MLP episode on it, there are some really annoying things that people do that they think is interesting that really just ticks other people off.
    Still confused how you MAY be a host to this moronic parasite? example:
    One of my friends said that when girls have a crush on somebody, they pretend to ignore them and hate and tease them to see how they react. As I've learned, this is the mainstream thing to do with most extroverted girls.
    Ok, look. HOW THE HECK IS THAT SHOWING INTEREST IN SOMEBODY?!!
    This girl who has a crush on me literally walked up to me the other day and started cutting the cover to my history book in half with a knife. FOR NO REASON. then she started giggling like it was supposed to be attractive.
    OK guys seriously, being an annoying *&%# is not going to get you places. This is amazingly unknown to many.
    Need another example?
    I have this friend who's obsessed with texting. She started texting me as follows:
    hehehe
    whats up
    hey
    guess what
    hehe
    no seriously guess what
     
     
    Each one of those was a different text. While this may somehow be normal to some of you, this is really annoying. First of all you don't have to text someone multiple times laughing. adding a "lol" to one text is perfectly fine for me.. And if somebody doesn't respond to a text, don't make it worse by sending more. If there's an emergency, sure, but I really doubt that the fake actor Taylor Swift you just took a picture with at a mall requires seven texts to tell one person the story about.
    The eight pictures you just sent were quite enough.

    I don't mean to sound hypocritical by complaining so much about this but I'll try not to be negative.



    I guess what I'm trying to say, in a more mlp type manner, is that some things you think are fun actually annoy some people. and if something you do quite often makes someone else feel uncomfortable, you should probably stop doing it, at least around them.
