Mask

Rachel Dawes: But then I found out about your mask.
Bruce Wayne: Batman's just a symbol, Rachel.
Rachel Dawes: [Rachel touches Bruce's face] No, *this* is your mask. Your real face is the one that criminals now fear.Is Bruce Wayne wearing a mask, or is it the other way around?

I had a Human Resource lesson the other day and we are discussing about the concept of "self". It is an interesting concept to me but at the same time I must say that it is also a confusing one. How well do we know ourselves? In the lesson, I was introduced to many different types of "self" but I am just going to talk about two of them here. The "true self" and the "not so true self"(ok, i made this one up).

Many a times, I must say that we are putting on our "not so true self" when we are around people. And around different people, our "not so true self" varies. Don't you think so? We never really reveal our true identity to anybody. Even our close ones. We are always wearing this mask of ours known as our faces and no one will ever know our "true self".

Well, with this mask on, we can be whoever we want to be. Often, it is to impress others and not what we are truly. But little did we know that, at the very end it is not our masks that is going to be judged but it is what underneath these masks that matter.
I am not saying that you should take off your masks. You can't. At least I think no one can't. But let's be reminded that: what's important is not to dress up your "not so true self" but your "true self".

It takes two hands to clap

I wonder, how can people blog so frequent... How they can express what they feel so easily... Maybe it is just me. I kinda find it hard to actually pen down what is in my head. But I am trying. It might actually make me a better writer. Anyway, I was thinking of something. Ok let me try and "pen" it down.

It takes two hand to clap... Of course lah you need two hands to clap. If only one hand, all you can get is a slap. Haha... On the other hand, haha... get it? On the other hand, it takes only one hand to make a sound. Both hands do not actually need to move to clap. Tadaa...

Well, what is its significance? How I see it is that, in a relationship, or partnership or anything, need not neccessary be a pair, it takes one to make things happen. It is better of course if everyone making things happen but if it is not the case one is actually sufficient. If the one is strong enough, dedicated enough, commited enough, things can happen.

Let me give you an example ya. If two person are in a heated argument. It takes one person to stop shouting and talk nicely to end the argument. Another example, if two people is needed to play badminton, it takes only one to serve the shuttle to get the game in play. So ya... two hands to clap, only one needed to move to make a sound.

So which hand do you want to be? The moving hand or the other. Are you the one that makes things happen or are you the one that wait for things to happen.

-Maybe this is why I seldom blog ya???

Hmm, for those who don't intend to wait and want to make things happen, do bear in mind that... Work = force x dist.

to get WORK DONE you need force as well as moving the extra distance.

Tak yah gaduh ah! Leh berbual per...

Atas galakan sesetengah pihak, akan ku menge-postkan lagi satu post ye...

Often if not always, why people fight is that they are arguing at a different level. What do I mean by this? What I mean is that they are arguing not on the same basis of an issue. As most of us would know, there are many perspectives to an issue depending on how you want to see it. And how you define something may vary to others.

Just like you wearing someone else's pair of spectacles. You would not see something exactly how others will see. You will need to adjust to the new view and only then maybe you may come close to other's view. Or then again, we may still not be able to see what other see. So... do you see what I see???

Okay, what I am trying to say is... sometimes there is no use for arguing. What you should do is to agree to disagree. Do not impose your views on others. Just like you would not want others to impose their views to you. You are entitled to your own views and others to theirs. So ya... Boleh berbual per...

Haha... Actually I am guilty of this. So, this serve as a reminder to me. Sometimes, to not talk is better. And if you have to talk, talk nicely.
