What If?
August 10, 2007I recently finished reading a book called "Do You" by Russell Simmons (I only read the book because I watched an episode of Oprah recommending the book and since I'm always on the lookout for new books to read, I bought it.) But I don't know if I agree completely with what the book says though… I mean, what if I was doing what I am passionate about, would I be more successful now? I just don't see that… because here's the argument that keeps popping in my mind: What if you live in an environment with people who are passionate about the same thing and they all did the same job? Wouldn't that mean that there is a lot more competition in that field and less chances for success? Also, isn't it much smarter to be the first to provide the services more in demand because no one is doing it because most of the people are doing something else? Hmmm…. I know I posing more questions here than answers but, that's just the way it is… I read the book and my mind argued.
Cancer
August 6, 2007I don't understand why people can be so mean sometimes… I mean It's one thing to be cranky or hot headed but it's a different thing when you do the things you do because you are just plain mean! I cannot claim to be the sweetest, most patient or calm person but I sure try my best not to be so harsh when I deal with other people, specially those whom I just met. I feel that there's a certain level of respect one has to give another person, no matter what his or her status in life is. I mean, granted that we don't live in a perfect world, but why do we have to be the ones to make it less perfect anyway? If one person contributes to the betterment of our society then it would be so much better than none at all! I know what you're thinking… Who pissed her off today that she's writing things like these… Well suffice it to say that I was pissed… I will not mention the name nor what that person did to strike a cord with me because I will just not stoop to that level. I just wanted to air out my feelings one way or another so I will not burst with anger. I just wish this crab mentality that continues to be the cancer that is eating away at the very heart of our society would have a cure really, really soon!
