SOME OF HIS IDEAS AND TEACHINGS
R’ Dovid Bleicher said that the nature of most people is to learn the wrong Mussar. For example, a person who should be building himself up, instead, goes and learns about Anava. This is similar to a person who takes the wrong “medicine”, which can cause many problems, Chas V'shalom. A person likes to imitate the people around him, and he overlooks his true Ikar (main) personal issue in life... and in the end he loses, Chas V'shalom.
He also said that a person has no idea at all how great his Kochos are, and he will in the end have to pay dearly for not believing in himself. He once said that he had lots of Simcha when he had Bizyonos, and the more Bizyonos, the more Simcha! He learned in Slabodka and Novardok; both Yeshivos were known to specialize in self-esteem and in having no fear of people. A person who is secure, and works on self-esteem and being happy with what he has, has less problems with Bizyonos, since he is independent, and he doesn’t live for getting Kavod and approval from others.
