Guess where am i now...at work!!...wahaha...yea its a saturday during summer and there isnt much to do so im just sitting down here on the comp surfing internet...unless my boss (who is also in front of the computer at the moment) calls me to do some chores....i don hav time to write tonight i tink bcos im going to a friend's place to stay for the night...im going to hav the usual blog entry tmr night...so monday morning spore time...heh
I read an entry in Stuart's blog....its called finding purpose....even though i just read one of the i tink 5 parts of the purpose series...i found 2 words tht immediately jumped out of the passage..."Purpose Changes"...sometimes ppl who r in search of their purpose in the world think that their purpose must be specific...well in my perspective...i tink it doesnt have to be...ok lets take me for an example...after i read the enty and found tht Stuart's purpose is to gain knowledge and share it wif other ppl ...he said it is his purpose bcos he does it best...now i tink to myself...mayb purpose is something u will want to enjoy doing and be good at it...for me i tink its making the people around me happy...i told abt 60 ppl this goal of mine (during advanced camp in akltg.)...well its not exactly it but its kinda related...so for me in order to be living tht particular purpose...i will want set some 'to-do' list....like being a listening ear...helping ppl through hard times...stufs like tht....this is probably the thing tht hav to be a little more specific...if u want to know whether u r living a purpose driven life or not...ask urself this qst..."Is what im doing now helping me achieve the ideal life i want in the future?"....
This actually brings me to my next point...remember this quote from the movie batman begins..."Its not who you r inside, but what you do that makes u who u r"....however much u want to say u r a hardworking person but wad u do everyday is laze arnd..ppl will see u in the lazy image....however u say u r a emotionally stable person but what u do is not creating tht image...ppl will see u in tht not-so-favorable image of u...i noe its not fair...u may say and think..."oh he or she doesnt know me well enuff to know who i am"....but then however much u resent it, ppl will continuously judge u...its this little thing we call reality...i mean ok lets just look at superman...(i take him as an example bcos i analysed wad hes going through)...wad he does is save ppl....tht alone makes him a hero...but after watching smallville...i can see tht deep down he may not be tht perceived image of the man of steel...he is alone...misunderstood at times...hurt bcos of the countless number of time he has to lie tht hurts his image in order to protect tht person.... but he still creates his image as a strong, formidable person whom ppl always can count on...bcos of the things he does...the world is a mirror to us....it reflects who we really r...if ppl arnd u are happy to spend time wif u and enjoy ur company...its a reflection tht says u r a gd person...vice versa...if u don like the reflection u see in the mirror...(metaphor for the way ppl are treating u)..change ur behavior!...For things to change we must change first...like if we want to see the reflection (literally this time) to smile....we cant shout at it or do wadever wif it to make the reflection of ourselves smile right?...wad we can do is change...from inwards...yea just smile...(i noe this may sound like a stupid example...but it states the point)....
heh i tink thts abt all i want to say right now...im going to write another entry tmr night...so for the mean time...gd luck to ppl who r having tests and exams!!...=)
