First Insight

As a mental health professional who oversees a nonprofit and has served as a military policeman in various countries, I've encountered numerous articles with titles that could easily be debunked. Most of them lack depth. From an intellectual, philosophical, or theological standpoint, they often come off as juvenile.

What can you truly gain from waking up on time? You can arrive where you need to be. Astonishing, isn't it?

Let me guess—the article probably discussed career advancement. That's groundbreaking! But what about writers? What about those struggling on platforms like Medium? What about Tom Hardy, who doesn't wait for the film industry—rather, the industry waits for him? And what of retirees or individuals battling illness? Can one really utilize such profound wisdom from above? What about those who might still be alive had they not been tardy?

In my experience within mental health, the individuals who genuinely need to be punctual are those who already understand its significance—they simply require a little encouragement.

I often ponder whether these writers genuinely believe their audience is that naïve. My readers are intelligent individuals, seeking substance, not fluff.

Another common headline reads: "One rule about men that no one is discussing."

Oh, really? No one? Not even in Ecuador? How did an author devoid of investigative expertise manage to stumble upon this revelation?

The truth is, they didn't. This so-called "rule" is just basic relationship advice, akin to high school level wisdom: "Always remember that she is a woman, from her body to her heart." You might be surprised to learn how many men are unaware of this "rule."

After reading countless articles with such dreadful titles, I felt my IQ plummet. There's nothing groundbreaking about men that could be summed up as "one rule no one talks about." Instead, what we often see are articles like "A Dozen Things Guys Do That Women Fall For and Men Will Always Do, Regardless of What Women Write."

Another popular title is "One thing that everyone will despise you for."

Oh dear, spare me.

How about: "One thing that most discerning individuals in Iceland wish they had known before tying the knot"?

Second Insight

I have never claimed in any of my writings that "no one," "always," or "none" applies universally. Such terms suggest I surveyed at least 70% of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and religions. I operate on the principle of statistical significance, using terms like "many" or "most" instead.

I do not consider myself the sole bearer of knowledge that everyone—especially those I've yet to meet—has overlooked. More importantly, I don't believe I have insights of high emotional, relational, or personal growth value.

Any author who asserts they are the pioneer of a concept that "no one is discussing" is either inexperienced or so lost in their own self-importance that they fail to see the obvious. Reality dictates that what they offer is so basic that I'm astonished readers on platforms like Medium buy into it.

Final Thoughts

If an article aims to inspire, its title should reflect that intention. Examine the title again; the argument should align with it.

In conclusion, "What most Americans and those surrounded by misinformation can learn from waking up on time" is that by awakening to the nonsense, you will ultimately become knowledgeable in the subject matter—this is called learning.

Thank you for the applause (especially the 50 claps) and your thoughtful, constructive comments!
