Lesson of Life
Today I learn something new from my friends. When we bullshit too much, we tend to believe in what we bullshit about. I think it is true. Sometimes what we bullshit seems more cool than the real thing. Why?
All of us would like to look cool where everyone would look up at us. But how many of us get the respect we deserve for what we do? Very little I assume. If not, we would not resort to bullshit to gain respect. We would make up things to make people think that, “Wah, he did that!” But is that the sort of recognition we want?
I do not know. Maybe to some of us who manage to live in that world we feel it is real. But how long can it be? Aren’t we cheating ourselves to be who we are not but to what people see in us? Or to what make others respect us?
Who are we really then? What are our desire? We know it but we just don’t bother to acknowledge it for we know reality wouldn’t allow us to get it. It is not wrong to get what we imagine but there are times the things we imagine are the one we can achieve and not what we really want. Is that consider bullshit for we are not honest with what our true desire is?
At one time I was too clouded in what I want. The dream that I have, I was satisfy for it was reachable. The one that are not reachable, I just gave up for knowing its too hard. But now I realize all are possible. It is up to me to grab it. The dream that I once have long ago can be reach. The dream that I thought was within reach is fading away at the same time. All I can hope is I can achieve all my dreams including the one that is fading away.
Like a saying, ‘Those who are successful is due to 1. fate, 2. environment that we mix with and 3. effort.’ I believe this plays not only for those who are successful but each and every different aspect in our life.
