went to sentosa with my parents and some
other people.
my parents were looking for a place to hold
some function in.
sentosa has changed so much, its been 1.5 years
since i last went there.
should go there with my friends sometime soon.
there's so much more to sentosa than beaches.
and i totally miss underwater world.
tomorrow might be an interesting day.
working.
the point i'm gonna make today is:
if you want people to listen to you,
you better be a reflection of what you preach.
get it??
several e.gs:
1) If bill gates and a beggar were to preach
about ways to get rich, whose seminar
would you go to??
2) If kelly clarkson and william hung were to
teach singing methods, whose seminar whose
you go to??
3) If a university lecturer or an uneducated fellow
were to give you tuition, whom would you choose??
of course the one who specialises in the said topic.
have you ever encountered people who told
you to do something this way when their own
life was the opposite??
infuriating, isn't it??
you feel an incredible urge to say:
say people say yourself!!!!
you tell me to study hard while you're slacking??
you tell me to save $$ when you're splurging $$??
like hell am i gonna listen to you.
i'll smile and nod my head but inside i'm
going "noo waaaay..."
also there exists some people who live life one way
but then when they live it another way they slam the
previous way.
e.g:
X used to be thrifty.
but one day X started spending $$ on branded stuff,
and says:life is short, spend $$ while you still can.
that's fine.
but then X proceeds to slam thrifty people:
all these people..save save save.
they'll die before they get to spend their $$,
so STUPID.
i get irritated at these walking contradictions.
and maybe i would poke fun at X, saying:
you used to save $$ too...
and X would say:
ya lah..i was not so smart...being stingy.
and then one day when X runs out of $$,
X will slam people who spend $$,
saying: they're so DUMB, next time for sure
they'll have no future!!!
stay small house, drive small car.
grrr.
in short, they promote whatever they are and slam
the opposite of what they are.
get a life.
