Me, Myself and I

So for so good. Looks like I’m constantly starting blogging again. Hope it’s not too early to judge though. Heh, starting to love wordpress too. Simple and smart compared to the old blog. Aku dah tua agaknya.

It actually took me a while to build up the nerve to start posting messages in my blog here in wordpress and my previous blog back in blogspot. I was always concerned what others might think about my postings, my thoughts, my ideas.

Then a friend told me something that i will always remember, and how true it is too. Can’t Please Everyone, my friend said. And the more i thought about it, the more i realized just how true that is. I could spend hours trying to find the right words to say that would please the most people that end up reading this, but why bother, because you can’t please everyone.

So, i’m just going to be myself, and just type whatever comes to mind, thats the best way to go about it anyways. there is no sence in trying to think of the right words to say, hoping that you don’t come off sounding like a freak. Because no matter how hard i would try, no matter how much time i put into writing this to find the right words to say, i realised that there isn’t any right words to say that will please everyone that ever reads this. Because you just can’t please everyone.

So I’m going to continue writing messages in my blog, displaying my thoughts and ideas and goals or whatever comes to mind, and if there is someone that reads this that thinks i am a freak or a dork or a nerd or whatever, thats fine. because i know what i am, and i know that if you can’t accept my thoughts that i put here on this blog as normal, well, it just won’t make any difference to me. Because i know that you just can’t please everyone.

I’m gonna end this entry with an email that a friend gave to me, this email made me realise that there are many different kinds of people out there, and we all think differently, and it also made me realize that no matter how hard we try to seem normal and accepted to everyone. It’s a lost cause, because you can’t please everyone. Here goes the story :

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding. The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked, ”What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.” They then decided they both would walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. 

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story? 
                 
If you try to please everyone, you might as well…

Kiss your ass good-bye.
