Dr. Laurence J. Peter once said, "There are two kinds of egotists: Those who admit it, and the rest of us.".

I was browsing through the internet when I came across the quote above and find it a very apt description of the majority of people in our world today. As much as we try to deny it, it is a fact that most of us are guilty of, including myself, especially in today's competitive society. Perhaps it is an inborn character that we care for ourselves more than others, to the extent that we overlook many other aspects of life. I feel that this 'virtue' is especially true in my life currently.

Have there ever been a point in your life, where you were the weakest link? Or felt that you were the weakest link? And you try as hard as possible to avoid all situations that made you feel THAT lousy ... And made you feel that you are a burden to the rest of the people because they have to keep giving in to you, just to make up for your shortcomings? And no matter how much effort you put in, you just can't be as good as them and so you give up? I know I have.

Many said that you should get back up, and put in twice their effort and be as good as them, and to prove them wrong. And that the lousier you are, the more you should get back up. I mean, talk is cheap, talk is easy. When the odds are against you, and that you do not have the resources and support you need, it's really tough.

The good are able to scream and shout words that could spur you on and make you do better, and probably spend a little time with you when you are a rookie. But other than that, nothing else. And after a while, a social segregation is formed from the weaklings and the pros. Truth being that these pros would only want to spend time with the pros, to better themselves as they feel that you are pulling them down from them improving. And that it is a waste of their time to keep coaching you to get your basics right. Truth being that these people are selfish, and only think of themselves as a class above the rest. Not knowing that they were once rookies too, and that others had to spend time with them for them to become pro. And so, they turn cocky.

No one in the right mind would ever stoop down to your level, to get to know and understand how you feel. They just loathe you for avoiding and coming up with excuses all the time. No one would ever put themselves in your shoes, to spend time helping you to merge in with the rest of the group. No one ... Not even the person in highest authority. And they do what every human do - THEY BITCH ABOUT YOU.

Thinking about the past, I kinda miss the times where "Your team is only as strong as your weakest link." is being instilled into me. It was a point where everyone tried to help each other, and push each other so that we are far above the rest. No selfishness, no nothing of that sort. Probably the definition of being a team now is - Me, the good ones, and the rest.

Selfishness ... Had taught me to admire Mother Teresa more than ever.

I'll be like her ... One day.

;D

HI HI HI HI HI!

I look really retarded in that picture. I don't know how my mum took the picture ... Like I've got a mega-huge head with a small body. Nope, I'm opposite actually. HAHAHA. That picture was to make it up for the weeks of not blogging. Anyways, I hope my overdue presence have not chased all my readers away from my blog! HAHAHAH. Hardly anyone reads my nonsense anyway. Probably except ... MYSELF! ;P

Changing topic, does it irk you to see someone in public having their hair all wet and walking around? At least not dripping wet, but still wet ... And the back of their shirts would have patches of darker shades because of their wet hair. I do not know about you, but the increasing number of these people on the streets is starting to annoy me, not that it has anything to do with me in any way. Just that I'm not one of them.

Yes, I know that it is awesome to wake up in the morning and have a shower to brighten up the entire day, and to allow yourself to smell nice when you are near others. But is there a need for you to pronounce to the entire world that ... "HEY! I'VE JUST TAKEN MY SHOWER! AND I SMELL GOOD. MY PITS ARE NOT SWEATY SMELLY, THEY SMELL LIKE MY BATH GEL!". I don't think there's a need to do so. I don't know what is going through the person's mind when they just leave their house with their hair wet, prepared to go to work or somewhere else. I mean, if you bother to keep yourself clean and smelling good, why don't you even bother to make yourself look presentable instead of your wet head!

Just imagine going for an interview with that kinda hair, what would your first impression be? If it were me, I'll immediately strike you off the list for being lazy, and not appearance conscious ... It's just disgusting man. I don't need to know that you've just done your private stuff in the bathroom. And the worst of it all, is when you turn your head and your wet hair starts smacking people in the face. It's like a wet slap.

I mean, if you just came back from the beach or pool or something, it's understandable. But to work, or going out with friends? Totally a turn off man. Please bother to dry your hair!

Abrupt ending. Enough of my rants. HAHAHAH.

Enjoy your weekends!

;D
