Standing tall or short

Some people were born to be different from the rest. But this does not rule out the theory that each of us are special in our own way. If you look around you, you'll find some people who stand tall amongst the rest. But this is usual, as normally people would notice these type of people vis-a-vis the tallest, prettiest and smartest. These are who I refer to as those who stand tall in a community. Whereas those who stand short, if any attention is given tends to get bullied.

Is there a possibility that the treatment of each respective classes could be reversed? For those who watch Ugly Betty, you find that her kindness does affect the perception of at least 1-2 people who benefit from them. They would probably give her the A-star treatment. But the rest, they seem to fall back on the idea that you should be gorgeous to work in a company that publishes fashion mags.

Taking on from this, our perception of people tends to be moulded from the culture of the company we work in. So is the solution from the those who stand tall/short is to work/ live in a place of its own heights in order to be treated normally? Pumpkin views this as an opportunity. In order for you to get far in life, you need to be given oustanding challenges. Best way is... be like Ugly Betty and stand out! The fact remains.... whether you stand short/tall will depend on how you see yourself. Think Positive!

When Simple Things Get You in a Strap

In the ever complicated nature of our lives, we try to minimise the casualty by seeking to keep things simple. In the course of adopting this simple approach, we tend to find that somebody does get hurt. Why is that?

Some few reasons I could think of are as follows: -
1. The simplistic approach misses out on certain minor details which could amount to a significant difference
2. By seeing it only 1 way, you stop listening to others, and hence lose out on the value that those people could bring to your life
3. Nobody is always right or perfect.

In any kind of relationships, let it be business or personal, when you stop listening to others, it could suggest that you are being selfish and undermines the ability or the benefits which another person could offer you. In the end of the day, my rationalisation to this is somewhat simple. You should be allowed to do what your heart says is right and what you feel comfortable doing. But at the same, if you wish to keep the good things in life, you do need to make that extra effort to balance this out. No doubt, those who truly appreciate you would tolerate your whims and fancies.... but in all fairness, every person has their maximum level of tolerance for everything. So long as you are within it, you are ok.

ABN : Beza Suka, Cinta dan Sayang

Dihadapan orang yang kau cintai, musim dingin berubah menjadi musim semi yang indah.
Dihadapan orang yang kau sukai, musim dingin tetap saja musim dingin hanya suasananya lebih indah sedikit.

Dihadapan orang yang kau cintai, jantungmu tiba tiba berdebar lebih cepat.
Dihadapan orang yang kau sukai, kau hanya merasa senang dan gembira saja.

Apabila engkau melihat kepada mata orang yang kau cintai, matamu berkaca-kaca
Apabila engkau melihat kepada mata orang yang kau sukai, engkau hanya tersenyum saja.

Dihadapan orang yang kau cintai, kata kata yang keluar berasal dari perasaan yang terdalam.
Dihadapan orang yang kau sukai, kata kata hanya keluar dari fikiran saja.

Jika orang yang kau cintai menangis, engkaupun akan ikut menangis disisinya.
Jika orang yang kau sukai menangis, engkau hanya menghibur saja. Perasaan cinta itu dimulai dari mata, sedangkan rasa suka dimulai dari telinga.

Jadi jika kau mau berhenti menyukai seseorang, cukup dengan menutup telinga.
Tapi apabila kau mencoba menutup matamu dari orang yang kau cintai, cinta itu berubah menjadi tetesan air mata dan terus tinggal dihatimu dalam jarak waktu yang cukup lama.

"Tetapi selain rasa suka dan rasa cinta… ada perasaan yang lebih mendalam. Yaitu rasa sayang…. rasa yang tidak hilang secepat rasa cinta. Rasa yang tidak mudah berubah. Perasaan yang dapat membuat mu berkorban untuk orang yang kamu sayangi. Mau menderita demi kebahagiaan orang yang kamu sayangi.

Cinta ingin memiliki. Tetapi Sayang hanya ingin melihat orang yang disayanginya bahagia… walaupun harus kehilangan."
