私は誰?
Who am I...?
“Fine, don’t believe me!”
“Why do you want to be different?!”
“Why do you want to be the same?!”
“Because that’s what I am, the same.
It’s what we all are. Homogenous. Just like… yoghurt."
"You don’t understand, I want to BE special.“
“We are NOT special”
“Fine, be just like everyone else!
…I want to go boldly where others have not gone before.”
The question of the day is:
Would you want to be an ordinary person who does extraordinary things?
Or
Would you want to be an extraordinary person who does ordinary things?
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
-----------------------------------------------
Well, my answer to that question is that:
I want to be an ordinary person who does extraordinary things.
Because it’s what you do that makes you unique, it comes from your heart, and others might just benefit from your extraordinary contributions as well. It’s hard to define what is meant by “extraordinary things”. I mean, everyone has his or her definition of “extraordinary”. I think it's not just doing something to impress others or to acquire any remuneration. What’s important is that you follow your heart so you won’t regret it.
Everyone wants to be special in his or her own way. And yes, I think an extraordinary action is having the ability to give to others what you have, be it your knowledge, your will to persevere and even a listening ear to understand others around you, therefore giving them the required help. I’m sure everyone longs to be able to touch and reach into your heart and soul, maybe even others’ too.
Some people have also mentioned that whether we like to or not, or whether we want to or not, we are always seeking a greater sense of personal satisfaction and fulfilment in our lives, because we want to lead a meaningful one.
After all, life IS short…
Choosing the latter, I feel, would be difficult. Who would want to be under scrutiny all the time? It’s hard to make errors, and when you do, it deals you one tough blow that might just break you. Some might say yes, I wouldn’t mind… I’ll be able to get up on my feet again. But ask yourself, “Would you be a happy person?”
So that’s just my opined words on this question. What’s your answer? Tag and let me know...
But whatever your answers & reasons, just know that you must
NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF!
Dream BIG and achieve BIG.
