was reading my younger bro's blog.. and for some reason i was quite amused. amused that... so young already got blog... haha... i remember in my time(sound like i so old liddat) we didnt have blogs yet right? or rather, the blogosphere was not so developed at that time. i only got a blog when i was sec 1... but anyways, p6 i was mugging for psle lah... my sis also. apparently my bro doesnt follow in our footsteps. seeing his results now... then comparing to me and my sis' at that time... seriously... i think he just doesnt bother to study... haha.... well; either this generation is getting IT savvy too fast, or my bro is just a slacker now. lol.
when i read the younger one's blogs; i cant help feeling that ive been thru many more things than them... i feel as if i dont wan them to make the same mistakes i made, to go through the pain i went thru. but no one can really protect them; except themselves. if they are humble enough to learn from those who have gone through more than them; then their lives will be smoother... if they choose to listen and obey. just that; the path of obedience is rarely easy.
however; this applies to me also.. no matter how old i feel; i will always be younger than those older than me. they would have gone thru more things than i have, and know more things than i do.
no one is ever alone. seek guidance when you need it. dont be afraid to ask. i cant remember the number of times i made wrong decisions because i didnt seek guidance from someone more experienced in the field.
we can never stop learning. sometimes i wish that the world would not move that fast. or rather; maybe sometimes i wish that i lived somewhere else, whereby there are not so many people, and everyday seems like a mindless chase for grades, or to be up to date with the latest news and happenings.
if only we knew and accepted the fact that, no matter how old we are, we are still young in our parents' eyes. i could never accept that weird feeling of always being viewed as immature and inexperienced to my parents. they would always seem to shrug of things that i do as silly or 'just a youthful phase'. i guess now i can see it in their eyes. if only we could constantly accept that even thou we think we are quite old, there are many more who are more experienced and wiser than us.
the things the wise say to us; is to protect us from pain. but most of the time, we choose to ignore their advice.
