Aiya, if you keep looking down on yourself, then who will look
up on you. Even yr little brother below also look down..hehehe
First is self, if self lack self esteem, ego and pride, you do
not expect people to respect you, because you dun even respect
yourself.
But too much ego and pride can end up tio pok hor...lols
so, just moderate will do, ego and pride is a must, if not, you
will lack integrity and dignity in your life, but to show your ego
and pride, it very much depend on the occasion and condition. And
that is a skill that many failed to master, including my former
chief...lols
Second, once self is well discipline and never bother much about
other way of looking at you, the next one, will be your family, if
self is good, family will mostly be good, if not better.
Third, once self and family are good, next will be the town
follow by the country.
So you see, if self is not respecting self, not good, not
discipline enough, everything go bad. And that is also why people
including most TDs alway said about this problem and that problem
with fingers pointing mostly to external factors, from Taxi
companies to pax to LTA to family...but never self. Therefore,
relook on self is important, most people tends to complain about
this and that, blame this and that, perceived this and that, but
forget about themselve.
Thouands years agao, Confucian (not confused hor) once said,
knowledge is important, with knowledge, self will be better in
understanding issues and how thing works
Then just last century, Albert Einsten said, no,
knowledge is not enuf, we need creativity and innovation, knowledge
alone and do nothing is still end up zero, with knowledge, we must
innovative and be creative.
And today, Bowah said, if you have knowledge, you have
creativity and innovative mind, but if you do not apply, is it also
a zero sum game.
So, therefore brothers and sisters, respect onself as other
shall respect you, apply what you have learnt in taxi driving,
whatever mistakes during your past years driving, take it as
lessons to add to your creativity and innovative, and then apply
accordingly
