who is Ellyiot

As we all grow in the society, live and continue to adapt to this growing world, we tend to build up our personality. My name is Ely, and I’m a person who’s pretty much the same as everyone else. Living and breathing the same air as you, who lives in the present. Personalities to my eyes very much depends on what others see you as, you yourself shouldn’t be the one to decide what you are, and as such the person I am is not always decided by myself, but rather when people ask what kind of a person I am, I let them judge me and decide for themselves. I don’t particularly believe in unique personalities, but what I do believe in is that people hold onto different principles in life that make them what they are. So instead of telling you guys what I do for a living, or what I think I am as a human being, I’d rather tell you about the principles that run my life, to make me what I am.

Principle number one, “always make time for yourself, give yourself some breathing room.” More often than not I see teenagers of this age not understanding this concept and always tie themselves down to commitments and promises they can’t keep as they overwhelm themselves with too many things to do at a time. Things always come in, loads after loads after loads. You’ll never get time to rest, and so it’s a key principle I have to always have some time to relax and chill and not tie myself down to activities which will hinder my free time. I’d rather spend time doing absolutely nothing than to consistently stress myself up and lower my own lifespan as I relentlessly do the stuff I could have avoided doing.

Principle number two, “always try to better yourself, you shouldn’t be who you are, but rather be who you can be.” People always tell each other the following comforting statement for whenever a person has an imperfection coming their way, “be yourself, be who are”. However, personally I feel like they should instead think about how they can be the best version of themselves rather than to just be themselves. A bottleneck in a person’s improvement is always ignorance towards weaknesses, and people who don’t accept them will stay as they are.

Principle number three, “you can be nice to people around you, but always be nicer to your friends and those who you are close with”. The closer they are to you the more special they should be. Make space for your friends and as always you don’t have to be kind to everyone, I find it respectable for people to not care about outsiders to make sure they can care more for the people they love and respect. That’s something to be admired for.

Principle number four, “not winning isn’t losing, and even if you lose, it’s fine, refer to principle number two.” Making others win is what I like seeing more than just seeing myself win. By winning, sometimes you take the win from someone else, and it makes them feel rather neglected or unnoticed. It’s better to understand that even if you lose, at the very least you have made someone who is better than you win.

So as you can see, all of these principles are in place, and they pretty much make me who I am. The fact that I make time for myself makes me appear as a lazy person, and the fact that I’m very turbulent to change whenever I need to makes people think I adapt and learn things fast, and the fact that I’m only nice to my friends makes people see me as a caring person. A person’s principle truly builds up what they are, and with each change of principle or to add an additional one adds a trait which can be chosen to be admired or hated. But yes, this is who I am. A man of principles.
