i used to find this a disturbing trait. not able to be interesting
person to other people. - Yes, it's very disturbing at
times.
nowadays, i gotten used to the idea that i am like that loh..
however, i have all the intention to improve myself to become a
better conversationalist and interesting person to others.
- Good for you. Keep up the good work.
like learning a computer software, language, or subject,
being a interesting person is also the same thing. you have to
learn. - Trying my best.
the learning process involves, observations, reflections, writing
down ideas in paper, creating hypothesis, reading books on related
topics to learn from others, practising conversing. and then u
improve bit by bit. - Belive me, all the countless hours of
training and hardwork, when you're on the battlefield, you go with
your instints, though the training comes in use once in
awhile.
being quiet and boring is not a crime. there should not be any
tinge of guilt or low self esteem in yourself. - Trying my
best to switch that mentality.
it is also not a big deal. humans must always be grateful in life
especially when you have health, no need to worry about food and
shelter everyday.
singaporeans are too greedy, always worrying about small issues of
life and fail to appreciate the good things that they have.
- I'm going to put it bluntly and simple, which human on
earth does not greed? No offence, I know that some monks do too. If
there isn't greed in you, you wouldn't have learnt to improve
youself and typed the first few sentences as you just did. You just
got used to it, that's all but still, there's greed.
worry and cry over issues like friendship, love, lack of money,
pride and facial issues. you all really need to grow up and see the
world. extreme poverty and poverty is still quite common around the
world. - Even poor folks need friends. Don't you
agree?
do you all know that about hundred of thousands of poor latin
amercians have to illegal migrate to north america every year (not
sure of figures) because they have not jobs in their countries.
when they reach mexico and some countires without passort which
were confiscated or they did not have it, they were bullied, hit
and mistreated by some of the police. - Sorry to be rude,
it's sad but that's their nation's problem, nothing to do with us
and nothing to do with my current problem.
i only learn about these after i watch from the discovery channel
titled "no borders". - Didn't catch that.
that is the problem with cities people like singapore. worrying and
complaining non bread and butter issues. that sadly to say is human
nature. however, because it can be changed, i am here to educate
you people. - So you want people to argue over bread and
butter issues instead of emotional issues? Look who's the greedy
one here? You? Changing people? Look, this is how wars usually
break out, trying to change another nation's beliefs and stuff, why
not compromise? I belive our modern generation is well imbued with
education, if you could help it, just safe yourself the
hassle.
