Who are you really? Tell me about yourself? A simple question that would make anyone who is being questioned confused .. so confused to answer that came out just the word “mmmm ..” “uh ..” “not know …” “I think I’m just another ordinary person”…
What makes you different from the other people? The answers may vary.. like “my eyes are smaller than him …” or “I’m fatter than him ..” is that it? If the differences are only limited to physical, easily for us to turn into someone else .. for example is a haircut change .. My girlfriend just cut her hair to 50% shorter, is that going to make her become a different person? Nah … She’s still the same for me .. just as wonderful .. changing the physical appearance alone is not going to change who we really are.
Sometimes I’m quite confused with the roaches.. Which men which women huh? They all look the same, isn’t it? And if cockroaches male got puberty, how does it attract its mate? Roaches couldn’t do any body-building, could it? They also don’t have any money .. or maybe all of them are gay… hmmm … who knows?
Ever thought, what would our kids talk about us later? Maybe even our name they could not remember.. but they will answer quickly when asked who is Barrack Obama for example… how ironic!
Ever read a book about the great people who changed the world? Ever heard a title of a book “50 Women who changed the world”? From billions of inhabitants on this earth, why there were only 50 women been discussed? Ever wanted to be one of them?
Everything humans do has been patterned with a boring way.. starting from birth, growing up, work, married, having children, sick and die … all people will arrive at the final stop called death .. Ever heard this phrase “101 Things to Do Before You Die”? Someone created a list of 101 interesting things to do before he dies..
Ever wanted to make your life more meaningful? Ever done something so that other people will remember for the rest of his life? Ever tried to do something for people who really do not know us?
We do not need to be the one on the list of 50 people who changed the world .. we just need to do something extraordinary in this life .. so that those who living in our world can retell it later …
Go.. do something .. see the outside world, make this world your playground .. play.. find your obsession .. Make them smile so proudly when your name being called.. and make your own101 Things to do before you die .. and I believe everyone will have different list .. but just as interesting .. because every person has his/her own story book and a pen to write their story..
What is the sign of a book that is considered as a good book? Some say, a good book is the book that when you finished reading the last page you will feel like losing a best friend.. whatever is written in the book of our life, may all who hear the story over again will feel like losing his best friend ..
“Make your life extraordinary ..” – Robin Williams (Dead Poets Society, 1989), if you feel like it’s too late, not it’s not! Let’s do it now and you’ll get a different ending to the story of your life … of course not necessarily a happy ending, but at least make your story interesting to be played back over and over again .. so back to the first question, who are you actually?
“And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.”-Abraham Lincoln
