Listening to Opinions

P.S: There might be some 'logical fallacies' in this post, or you might feel that there are a lot of missing parts. I apologize for not being able to organize my thoughts properly because I have no time to do so. I just want to write what's on my mind these days.

Have you ever wondered how weird this world is? Oh no, not the world as a creature, but the world as a society.

Nothing in this world is certain. There are always two sides of a coin, there are always various opinions.

At the age of 21, I realized that if there are two poles of something, no pole is better than another. It is also no good to follow one pole very extremely. We need balance.

For example,

Some people say that we should not listen to other's opinions because they do not matter. We know how to live our own lives.

But, it is not good if we do not consider other's feedback. Feedback might be important for our improvement and to remind ourselves that we don't live alone in this world. Sometimes, what we do can affect others, and we need to consider their welfare too. People's opinions also help us to see what we lack, what we're good at, and also what we're not good at. It is beneficial for understanding ourselves.

However, too often, people's opinion can also be a hindrance to our growth and improvement. If we want to achieve something, people might say it is impossible. This kind of opinion might stop us from working towards our big goals. Sometimes, paying too much attention to other's opinions will only make us try to satisfy them. However, it is something that we will never be able to do. It is impossible to please everyone. While we are too busy trying to please them, we forget what we actually want to do, for the sake of our future, for our lives.

This is just one of the examples, that really happened to me, or to people around me. I actually do not know what this post's objective is, but I always wanted to pour these thoughts into a writing. 

Eventually, I need to hold the belief that everyone will say a thing about what we do, but as long as we do everything to please Him, nothing else matters.

Happy New Year All!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! No party or new year events tonight. I don't really care about it. 2009. There are so many memories in this year. Good memories, bad memories. Everything in 2009 was so awesome. The year where I knew K-Pop. The year where I started the 9th grader-life (and still being trapped right now). The year where I bought something via internet for the first time. The year where I got many friends. The year where I was being more loved by friends, by family. 2010's resolutions? Like 2009's resolutions with some additions: I MUST  pass 2010 Junior High National Exam well . With my best scores, of course.  I MUST enter this school: 81 Senior High School . This is the last 31st December night with "Junior high student" status. That's all. Happy (earlier) New Year! Have a nice party (if you do). Have a nice night. See you in 2010! xoxo, @Ditaxe picture from here

This song just can't get out of my head.

I need to know what's on your mind These coffee cups are getting cold Mind the people passing by They don't know I'll be leaving soon I'll fly away tomorrow To far away I'll admit a clich Things won't be the same without you I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky Would you be kind enough to remember I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky Would you be kind enough to remember me I'll let you know what's on my mind I wish they've made you portable Then i'll carry you around and round I bet you'll look good on me I'll fly away tomorrow It's been fun I'll repeat the clich Things won't be the same without you I've been meaning to call you soon But we're in different times You might not be home now Would you take a message I'll try to stay awake And fight your presence in my head Such a beautiful work, t...

Mereka Yang Jadi Pemenang!

reblogged via tascajudge > sok tumblr :P every moments that feel soooo alive make up our mind. Sometimes, we wish the real thing turns into sumthin' fake. Kadang kita terlalu pengen merubah segalanya sampai akhir, menyesal karena gak berbuat yang lebih baik. Menyesal karena semuanya udah berlalu. Menyesal soalnya dia udah punya orang lain, milikin orang lain. Menyesal karena kita menunjukkan diri kita yang sesungguhnya, bukan diri kita yang bukan diri kita . Got it? (emg agak rumit sih-..- baca ulang deh) Ada nggak yang punya masalah kaya gitu? Umm, just asking, no other purpose. Seperti misalnya... Ummmmmmm, lo sayang banget sama satu orang. Whoever he/she is. Tiba-tiba lo ngerasain ada yang aneh. Saat-saat lo diharuskan berbagi sama orang lain. Sama cewek/cowok lain. Ada perasaan sakit di situ, ada perasaan marah, kesel, lo pengen tau kalo orang yang lo sayang itu lebih dulu kenal sama lo, lo pengen ngasih tau orang2 kalo org yang lo sayang itu cuman punya lo dan gak bole...
