be careful when everything seems so right….
whenever you find yourself sitting very comfortably in your current position, high above others, be careful, as that’s the time that you are most likely to fall….
when ppl get comfortable, they let their guards down. they forgot how things were supposed to be done. they do things their way, without taking into consideration other’s thought and feeling. they forgot those who bring them up to the comfortable position they are in now…..
people who are in high position tend to take things for granted. they often think that what they have now is meant to be…..and they deserve everything…they start to get cocky…..and this is when they will fall…
when people are given full control of something, they forget how to share. they think all their decisions are right, and there’s no place for discussion or further objection. they can’t accept any ideas contradicting theirs…..this form of closed decision making will eventually bring them to self-centeredness, as if the world revolves around them…when decisions are made withot oppositions, mistakes happen….and there will be no improvement without competition.
i get this inspiration from a taiwanese singing competition. they tend to improve alot when there’s some challenger from outside…otherwise, they’ll just sing like normal without any surprises nor improvement….they tend to get comfortable when there’s nobody challenging….and their standards falls tremendously due to lack of motivation..and that’s when they are kicked out of the competition….
sometimes, we really need an external opposition force to stimulate our growth and developement…..to remember the sole reason we are put at this high, comfortable position we are at now. things might not go as well as we would expect sometimes, but small defeats can definitely stimulate our will to fight and enhance our hidden ability…
when we are defeated along the way, do not be a sore looser.don’t mock your opponents, or think of some shameful tactics to win back the wrong way. the faster we could realise our mistakes and accept them, the faster we could stand back up from the defeats….
competitions are good. as long as we have the right attitude and will, all of us are moving towards the better good, aren’t we?
(p/s: this entry has nothing to do with any current political issues happening anywhere in the world :P)
