Salam and may peace be upon you :D It has been a while since my last entry due to my engagement with something else. So it is really hard gather my thoughts again about what to write when my mind flew elsewhere for too long. But i'll try my best.
Lately and rather constantly, there is something that really bothers me, my time and my head. It is regarding a phrase, a sentence, a social stigma that probably has been lingering around like an uncaught serial killer for as long as i can remember. I may not be an expert in this matter but i just want to share this thought of mine with my circle of friends. So bear with me.
It is really crazy how things progress and we somehow forcefully have to undergo this drastic and fast-paced environment that we live in today. An age of modernisation, social media and technology. Wow. How great are things, brands and technologies all around us. But the question is, can we keep up with this exponential progress in life?
Today, i am not trying to brag about humanity and how sad is it to see the world today in its dying state. Today, i dont want to talk or preach or say about noble and core values of life. Today, i want to bring you to a new point of view. I want to shift your attention to a tiny part of our worldly life responsibilities.
This is the quote that sparks me to write this entry,
"Everyone at Harvard's inventing something. Harvard undergraduates believe that inventing a job is better than finding a job."
- the Social Network, 2010
Some of us are scared of unemployment. Some of us glorify others' triumph, success and wealth too excessively. We think about how great they are, how grand their brand is, their products and services like we have no life and dream that we want to pursue. "How i wish i was the creator of Facebook."" Oh my God, i wish i founded Pizza Hut. I could be zillionaire by now." Hmmm, can we try to scrape this attitude off us for eternity?
Sure, you can be a little mesmerised by their story of success. But dont let it consume you. Everyone is a genius, an expert in your own field. If everybody can do what you are capable of,then there is no reason for you to exist! So believe in your existance. You are worth to becounted. You are here for a reason, a noble and solid reason. Dont just lay down, sit back and relax. You have a potentially great legacy in front of you.
Everybody has passions and dreams. So work for it. Only the one who is crazy enough to persevere and work and keeps on dreaming will taste the fruit of their pain-staking effort. Are you really that scared of unemployment and failure? If you dont find a job someday, create one for yourself. If you dont find a job someday, sit back and think deeply before you cry and give up. Persevere, believe in your dream and your passion! Work for the benefit of yourself and others. Your time will be worth it.
There is no way Nike, Apple Burger King or Guess could be established if their respective founders were too scared to try and forever work for somebody else's dream. So what is your dream? Are you afraid to try? Are you afraid to be teased by your friends? Well that is just too bad. You will bring your passion and dreams deep down six feet underground into the grave with you.
Think again if you are afraid to try. Do what you love and love what you do. Dont let others tell you what you can do or cannot do regarding your capability. You know yourself better than anyone. So dont tell me that you cannot it because of this and that. Work on your weaknesses and focus on your strength. Everybody has weaknesses but you have a lifetime to work on it. Improve little by little, one baby step at a time.
Feel good about yourself. Find things to cheer up your day :)
Results on paper cannot measure your passion, dreams and vision. So make sure you know how to handle yourself in the real, big and scary world out there. Let's try our best, okay? We are the Y Generation. Haha together, we can put our mark in the universe :D
