We were talking bout the change we have in our lives. How as we walk through age, our mindset and behaviour changes accordingly to the things we see, hear and experience.
I'd like to say; we've matured in our mind. We've moved passed the period of idealism and naivety.
But I'd like to say I've kept a little of that hopeful-me for just-in-case scenarios.
I guess for me, I've grown up to be a calmer person. And I've learnt to express myself in a healthy way, so instead of bottling up, now I exhale my dissatisfaction and anger. It's healthier and normal.
I've learnt that I cannot change ppl and I do not want to change them. There's always a reason ppl make the decisions they do, if I interfere, they'll never learn.
When young, I was always in the waiting phase. Waiting for period bell to ring, waiting for dad to fetch, waiting for results etc.
I guess, I didnt know there's other choice besides waiting. Now I know better.
Also, I've learnt from my job that there's always more than one approach to a problem. How creative I want to be is up to me. I guess I enjoyed cracking my brain to solve an issue using a different design than the routine without ppl noticing, cos end result is the same.
A lot of times, I realise I'd secretly put in my signature, and when I come back it'd stare at me; saying hi. It's fun to play a little hide-and-seek, and I always have my little joke.
I have always been looking for a rock; something steady and unchanging, reliable and solid. Since I've been looking for so long, I've become that rock I've been trying to search. Irony.
This article is about persuasion of the human nature. Telling someone to change; is hard, just like the story of an egg which turn hard in a boiling water, or a carrot which turn soft.
To be the change and to be a teabag in a boiling water; is easy.
