The Day I Learned What "Obnoxious" Really Meant Pt. 1

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

They don't make obnoxious like they used to. I remember the first time I was called obnoxious. I was in the seventh grade. And I was joking in class with some of my friends. We were probably just being louder than we should have been, probably in a more inappropriate manner than we were in class. But I must have said something that my teacher overheard, you know, and she didn't like it because she came up to me and she said to me, " Carl, you're being obnoxious. And I could tell that she wasn't happy with me or what I said, but I didn't know what the word obnoxious meant. I don't know what I may have said that upset her. And I certainly didn't see anything wrong with what was going on, right? But all my friends and I, we were just laughing and having a good time. So in the beginning, funny enough, I took it as a compliment. I thought obnoxious was a compliment. So, talking about ignorance being bliss, I was out of my mind happy. So at first I could tell she wasn't happy. So I felt like I did something wrong, but I didn't really think I did anything wrong. So that night, I didn't say anything at the time. That night I went home, and I looked up the word obnoxious. And you know what I found? I found that it meant odiously or disgustingly objectionable and highly offensive.
