Time

This was extracted from an e-mail sent to me by Kuya Ryan who’s currently staying in Melbourne. The moment I opened it and read all the stanzas, it further testified that we cannot throw Time away because it waits for no one. When it’s gone, it’ll vanish and can’t be found anymore. It also gave way to my thoughts that we ought to treasure everyone who appears in our lives because losing friends or relatives is painful especially when we don’t treasure and appreciate them in the beginning. Regrets; there is no way to turn it back to its original form if everything was taken for granted from the start.

What’s your say?

Ignorance

One thing that is still puzzling me to this day is that why some people would choose to make others look like fools?

Is this just the nature of the lives of some ignorant human being or is it more than being an ignorant, maybe malicious intentions?

Sometimes, I wonder a lot and whenever I dwell into a certain topic, I realised how awful people can choose to be especially when we are dealing with the ignorant people or those who don’t try to put themselves into the shoes of others.

Honestly, I guess all of us should try to put ourselves into others’ shoes so that we would know what they are facing as an individual rather than permitting their own actions that will make the other party look like a fool in public.

Maybe this is just human nature after all; that people tend to be selfish and can’t care less about the feelings of others.

How sad, right?

There is nothing we could to do cure this social dilemma except that we change our attitudes if we realise that it is not in favour of others especially when it will make them look stupid.

Sigh.

Wise Men Say …

Wise men say, only fools rush in … (quoted from Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley)

Does that catch phrase ring in your ears, telling you that we should not be rushing into certain things not knowing what impact or consequences that it might give or lead to you?

One step taken, and if it’s a wrong step, you will be suffering from the corollaries and from then on every step that may be treaded on will be wrong as well. Humans make mistakes, but how often do they learn from their past?

Everyone is and can be clear headed. It’s up to oneself whether one would want to execute their conscience when it comes to their actions and words in life or to just say and do something without thinking. When you know that what you are doing is wrong, but why do you still go on ahead, not realizing the mistake and tread on deeper into the black hole?

The deeper you walk into the hole, the more pain in the future some things may cause you. But then again, humans are weird creatures. They have a button called “Thrill” in their minds and it is often being pushed to a point whereby some people just love the excitement and how dangerous some things can be. The danger itself is the thrill itself. It’s addictive. Just like sex; only thing is there is no penetration.

Do you call yourself a wise person?

Wisdom comes in many forms and packages. It does not mean if one is knowledgeable, one will have the wisdom as well. No, it does not work that way. The only way to attain wisdom is to know what is right and wrong; because all of us are capable of making the right and wrong decisions. If one chooses to take and make the wrong choice, then wisdom can never be accumulated but mistakes; and in the end it will form to regrets.

Wise people will never do things that will go out of the way, or unthinkable acts. When you have wisdom you will automatically learn the meaning of the words you have spoken and act upon them. In wisdom there are wide varieties of values; namely, fidelity, respect, loyalty, trust, hope, compassion, patience, and more.

And it does not mean that if you are older than someone, age wise, you can be called a wise person. Too bad, no, it does not work this way. You may be very old but if you are not wise, you just aren’t. But if you are then that is a good thing.

Sometimes, one may think that their pain is the greatest of all, but think wisely, there are more people who are suffering each passing day. I don’t deny that I’ve been in pain, we all do actually. But the pain that one may be experiencing may be a minor or major thing depending on what are the roots that have caused the pain and it could also be because of the actions that that one has taken for granted in life. Pain is always there, and ever unavoidable. It is just a matter how we try to abstain and stay clear from it because no matter what you do and if you do not think properly, pain will always be there, waiting for you.

Perspectives and impressions change and what people usually harbor in their mind changes too. Give someone a bad impression on the first date or meet, and voila, your impression towards that person will be altered, forever unless you have the ability to wipe off the first impression and execute a better one the next round. But as they always say, “first impression counts”.

The world is beautiful and it was never ugly ‘cept for constant bickers among politicians, dissatisfactions within nations, poverty, and vice versa. But it’s still beautiful no matter from what perspective you choose to look at it. Honestly, it’s the people that will make the world merrier. And their actions.

101 Thoughts

Posted on February 5th, 2007 by kyels.

Cry and you will only find yourself crying alone.

And how often can we stumble upon someone who can actually weep together with us be it those are tears of joy or sadness?

Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Impossible it may seem but still if one is lucky enough they would be able to find someone who can share every pain and happiness with them even if only they are good friends.

Human beings are for real.

Real people make real mistakes in this real world. As harsh as this may sound but it is true, isn’t it? We stumble once, twice and we can still get up and brace the reality, the fact that we made a mistake, and we ought to learn from it. But somehow, along the way, when you stumble again, you actually realize that you are repeating the same ole’ errors again. Is this called learning?

People say that there is no love when there isn’t any reciprocation. Do you find this phrase true?

I cannot tell you whether it is true or not but what I know in the 101 Ways to Make Things Work is that giving and taking is part of every single relationships that we can uncover on Earth. You give, you take. It does not work this way whereby you give, give, give and you do not take anything back in return. Or vice versa.

Human beings ought to learn how to draw lines. Stop everything when it comes to a point that one is hurting within or is feeling rather taken advantage of. One is their own sensor because others cannot feel what’s inside the system.

But it truly is sad when you realize or when you start counting with your fingers how many people in this world that really, really love and appreciate you for who you are, rather than love you for the value that they can take from you. It is hurtful, most of the time. Reality is painful.

Off the topic; you may find that there are double “kyels” under Authors. Well, that is because I seem to have forgotten my password for the first account (yeah, I am old!) hence this second account … (:

Perfectionist

Posted on December 8th, 2006 by kyels.

It just crossed my mind that I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my work and I’m really, really picky especially when I am dealing with my assignments in University or when I’m doing something else. For the past few months, I’ve been under a lot of stress and pressure because of my Algorithm and Data Structures assignment and also my Database Systems worksheet. Also the thesis that I was required to write for my Marketing classes, Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning.

I could barely breathe when it came to my Computer Science assignments because there were just so many ways for you to do it and it was vague, that sometimes I feel that I may have programmed wrongly. However, I had some space for the Marketing thesis as it was a group work and this time, I had a responsible group, in which I think I was lucky as I had been in really terrible groups when I was in First Year.

Maybe by being a perfectionist is not a good idea as it causes a lot of stress and pressure within oneself and albeit I try to mellow down, it does not seem to work. It’s all in the mind, they say but it is not easy to change a person in a fortnight as well, right?

So, I was just wondering, are you are perfectionist when it comes to your work or anything in general that you do?
