i had a conversation today, a friendly conversation..
there are many types of people in the world, and i am one of the types that will voice out my opinions if i find something dis-oriented from my point of view thus the very familiar statement
"people label you as being show off and you should stay low"
depending on situation and people, if its some random guys statement i would normally nod and smile while saying that i probably over do it however here in my very own space, i wanted to say that is a funny statement
i always believe people are entitle to share their success story or their happiness for instances:
1) if a person got their first child, a happy story that should be share
2) if a person buying a new house, big or small.. should be celebrated
3) got a promotion
4) got a datukship
5) graduation
6) starting own businesses
however, me who basically does not have much happiness to share except work has decided to do so, will be label as show off... like seriously?? but then i also tend to agree the statement when a hated individual does anything.. it will always attract negative.. if thats the stance why don't they change the statement to this
"i don't like him simply because i hated his guts, thus whatever things he does will come off ugly and also arrogant"
at least you are justifying that you hate me
rather than go by saying this
"i think he is a show off lor, thinking he very smart lor, wah! want to show what oh, sau pei la"
seriously??
then coming off as saying what i should do and how i should act
again.. am i doing anything bad or harmful?? did i hurt anyone physically or did i cheat anybody off their life saving??
i believe everybody should preserve their own thinking and also dream in a legal way, and not make everybody think the same. i question things that i don't understand not trying to be rude. I speak up for i believe in exchanging opinions or judgement. I believe in sharing happiness or success story because why then we work so hard to achieve something if we cant share it out (it does not matter people care or do not care, at least to that individual he felt motivated to do more)..
we can we achieve by going around label other people and giving them tags simply because we hated that individual.. the world is so small that sometimes we end up meeting each other again.
i had my fair share of enemies that i created when i was a young boy once.. though i probably have some more now..
i don't feel i need to write a report to others justifying my act.. because i did not break the law nor did i do anything harmful..
i understand the need to wear a mask to please the society, who then will please our self? some says BFF, and many more
i learn from this man himself and he taught me one thing..
"we cannot please everybody, its better we stay focus on what we want and on our goals rather than let their rumors or statement get into us"
it is until a while ago, i understand this
i still firmly believe that we human are made out of flesh and blood.. and is still the only creature in the world that shed tears because of emotions, we tend to get carried away by emotions..
************************************************************
this statement still echo through my head
"your action already shows your priority and unfortunately work is your priority, you only talked about work"
of course many other things are equally important... health, family etc
i however think we who are still young should really go all out to build our career.. as a man
when we are poor we got label
when we do well we got label
people talk all the time..
we can't control their mouth.. and i always tell myself when i heard this statement
"at least got something can show off ba.. no need to get to upset over it"
*************************************************************
as for personal matter..
still got many things to learn
however i'm getting tired of city life.. happen too much and too fast, i'm just riding the wave now.. there will be a point where i want it to stop and just sit by the beach, looking at the wave instead of riding it then
one day... i still dream of the day i c my kid riding the bicycle in the yard...
doing it the left and right way...lol.. yeah... the left and right way...
