Thoughts

1. At 1st I thought I was graduating in year 2009, when kylie said, I’m suppose to graduate at age 22. I was so offensive, but then we decided to calculate together la. So it comes to a fact that, yes, michelle has really low capabilities in calculation recently. Basically I’ll be graduating Feb 2010. Well, that’s it. My stupidity has been proved.
   
   When I was walking home yesterday after the bus ride from the LRT station, I kept thinking about the conversation I had with my college friend in business school today. Well, again, I manage to discover, a lot of things, I myself need to understand on human behaviour and its consequences.
   
   I myself am a very emotional person, just that I tend to have it hidden in me. I’m loud, noisy and talkative, but not really much of them know the ‘IN’ me I had. Apart from that, it seems almost impossible that I can reveal myself so much in front of my college friend.
   
   Well, most of the topics were about principles of life, both of us were trying to agree on certain things that we brought out are due to a story behind a person.
   
   I would like to quote Queen’s saying in this. I remembered myself telling her that I’m complicated and don’t try to understand me, for I’ll instead make you go NUTS. She said something that made me think a long way and agree with her statement. She uttered, Michelle? I don’t have to understand your character, or understand you. I only need to know.
   
   I go blank, the dictionary in my brain was trying to differentiate know and understand. Without flipping through the dictionary, my definition of know is, having to realize the ones acts or behaviour and not further doubt on the cause and consequences. Understand would be having to analyse why is a person acting like that and having questions in mind to fully understand the whole thing.
   
   In short, knowing is just outside the box, understanding includes the thing inside the box. Accepting is another aspect. Sometimes, I believe most of us tend to have dozens of question marks, asking ourselves questions like, why is that person acting like that, how on earth can this kind of people exist in this world and what can we do about it.
   
   Michelle’s Principle in Social life
   
   1.You always concentrate on the strengths of your friends that will improve your life
   2.Accepting a person’s weaknesses is vital, as it also meant forgiveness
   3.When you’re with a friend, you concentrate on the relationship, not the person
   4.Every person’s character has a story behind it, don’t judge without seeing the overall picture
   5.Do not judge a person’s character. If you do, accept what you don’t agree on, for they are beings that differs from others, you too.
   6.When you dislike one’s character, you mentioned what you dislike and do not further elaborate. Anything more than that is backstabbing.
   7.No one is perfect, one is always have something different from two. God made it that way for us to create mutual benefit. We are here to compensate each other.
   8.Live righteously, releasing the anger and pain is important, but play with words, for they are sharper than knife
   9.Confronting is the best way to avoid misunderstandings. But, do it in a comforting and not defensive way
   10.When having problems, always share with a person. For that person is always able to see things from a larger view, accept peoples point of view. You know when you’re in the situation, you tend to be selfish.
   
   Towards the end, I realize, I actually couldn’t let go certain things from my life. Well, looks like I have to live with it, adapt to eat, and stay happy with whatever I have. Be contented of what you have, but also have dreams and work for better future.
