If i am a plant, i don't want to be the tree. Instead of standing up high, i would rather be as low as the grass to be able to withstand strong wind.
If i am a bird, i don't want to be a strong one like eagle. Instead of flying nearer to the sun alone, i would rather fly lower in flocks so i am not alone all the time.
If i am in the sea, i don't want to be a shark. Instead of preying on others, i want to be the seaweed living together with other seaweeds in peaceful harmony.
If i am a student, i don't want to be the top student. Instead of having the reputation, i would rather stay low profile and carry on with the stress free life without having the difficulty for not living up to the standard.
If i am a presenter, i don't want my audience to learn through my slides in silent. Instead, i want them to enjoy and laugh throughout my presentation and remember those important points that were made funny.
If i have a choice, i want to be a humorous man which enables me to break the awkwardness between living man kind.
If we are together, i want nothing but your love. If loving is just about having your body and not your soul, i would rather be a fool and be watching over you this life.

累
人生就是一连串的挣扎。为什么呢？因为没有人知道你在想什么。当每个人有不同的想法，不愉快的心就出来了。曾试过因为自己喜欢一个人而因为太示爱而让对方不自在？当自己发现到对方已有了防备之心，自己会不会感觉到有一种的感伤呢？是因为对方不接受我们的感伤吗？ 如果是因为如此，自己因该需要多一点时间去思考到底对方是否是对的人。但如果感伤是因为害怕失去他/她，也许对方真的有某种的原因而退缩。但如果不是第一次的发生同样的事情，也许这段小小的插曲因该已到了一个尾声了。如果自己最大的遗憾就是没有好好争取，下次就要把握时机，不要让深爱的人错过了。如果不是第一次的话，也许他/她真的不是我们的。
不用，也不许要挣扎了。。
不用，也不许要挣扎了。。

The Velveteen Rabbit
This friend of mine being very nice and gave me a book as Christmas gift. didn't manage to read it since yesterday night. My friend told me it's a very classic book and it's actually for kids. This book only have 86 pages and there are pictures and the fonts can be identified as a 'kid's book'. after reading it, i feel that even adults might not have that kind of wisdom.
This book is illustrating simple dialogues between soft toys as well as those toys we are playing when we are still young [of if you are still playing now, doesn't matter=)]. through their dialogues, we can see that soft toys have grades and they want to be as 'real' looking as the real thing. there is this rabbit toy made of velveteen[dictionary.com says it's cotton fabric], felt invaluable and starts to lose hope because children prefers the new toys since he is not as new as other toys. One day, he asked the skin horse[which seems to be the wisest among all the toys]:
Velveteen rabbit:What is REAL?
Velveteen rabbit:Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?
Skin Horse:Real isn't how you are made.
Skin Horse:It's a thing that happens to you.
Skin Horse:When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with,
but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.
Velveteen rabbit:Does it hurt?
Skin Horse:Sometimes.
Skin Horse:When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.
Like said, this book have much more wisdom to learn from so not going to post every one of them because different people have different interpretation. I see it as a motivation but who knows, you might think that this is just a normal conversation between two non-living things which doesn't have any power of words.
ps:Never measure other people with your own ruler.
