‘Stuck in gossip and criticizing each other’: Ex-billionaire Gulzada Salim speaks about the current shortcomings of the people (VIDEO)

According to her, this period fundamentally changed her outlook on life. The entrepreneur noted that she learned not to judge people as before, but to treat everything with patience and gratitude.
"After prison, I began to look at life with gratitude. My critical nature left me. I stopped judging people. God knows best. We don't interfere, we don't give assessments. It's time for Kazakh society to change its consciousness. Our people are still stuck in the habit of criticizing each other, envying, gossiping. This is a sign of savagery. We consider a person who has been in prison or released from prison as bad. You are responsible for everyone you judge. Focus on yourself. Focus on your inner world, read books. When I went to prison, I'm not saying I immediately became wonderful like now. I sobbed, I was stressed, it affected my heart and nerves. It's inevitable. I had two choices. The first was to cry, feel sorry for myself, and sit idly, or accept that 'yes, this situation happened in my life.' Everything in this life happens by the will of Allah. You accept that there is some benefit for you in this. You say thank you to those who judged me and those who created difficulties, and you move on. The main thing is that I didn't do it for anyone else. The main thing is that I did it for myself. If you look at life negatively, with hatred, nothing will ever happen in your life," she said.
She also openly spoke about the changes in her life after prison.
"Where did this lesson lead me? First of all, my worldview changed. This is the main achievement. My main achievement is the change in consciousness, a light attitude towards life. I began to feel what true happiness is. Now I don't have billions, but I cannot explain to you the freedom of my inner world," the entrepreneur said.
In her opinion, society does not pay enough attention to changing consciousness, but strives to get rich quickly.
"I sometimes wonder why Kazakhs are ashamed to work, lazy to study. Everyone wants to get rich in a minute. They don't try to change their consciousness, to change themselves. It's low consciousness. That's why there is a lot of theft in our country. We are not animals. We have consciousness. Don't take loans! People see others and go into debt. This is a lack of a rational approach to life. Everything depends on the development of consciousness. My heart aches for my people, my soul hurts," she said.
In addition, Gulzada Salim did not hide that after her release from prison, some close people turned away from her.
"When I got out of prison, even my long-time friends stopped communicating with me. I went through all of that. I understood and accepted it all. I said thank you to everyone. No matter what situation a person is in, you should try to justify them," she said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdbxI4AaZrk
