Oh Well, That's Life!
I used to be the kind of person who would go far to satisfy everyone. When all's said and done, no one was pleased. Glad that now I realise what I did was wrong. No matter how well you treat others, people will always have disagreements with you. Don't try hard to make everyone happy because you'll end up making yourself hurt. In life there are limits to being nice. Being too nice to others doesn't mean that people will treat you equally kind. In fact you could be an object of mockery when people start taking advantage on your compassion. Know your rights and exercise it. Sometimes it isn't too much to show others that you can be a boss anytime you want even if you aren't; even if with your own boss. I'm not saying that we have to bossy all the time but at least show others some "warnings" that there are times when others have to be extra cautious with you.
I have learnt to be more realistic. Being overly optimistic isn't good. Don't expect everyone out there to be as sympathetic as you. The more you meet people the more you realise that there are a number of wolves in sheep’s clothing out there, hiding their true colours with their sugarcoated words. Beware; they could have stabbed you behind your back. In fact, they can do more damage to your reputation than your known enemies.
Be confident with yourself. No matter how good a person really is no one is actually 100 percent confident with himself. Even notable icons such as politicians, actors, artiste and other famous people do have lots of insecurities. Being confident is what you choose to be and it isn't relying on how others perceive yourself. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you'll accidentally judge yourself and that's how others perceive you. Therefore have a positive self-image, held your head high and believe that you brain is small but big enough to take on the world.
We sometimes dream that this world can be an ideal place until it isn't. Whatever it is do things right, don't trouble others and let God takes care of the rest.
