the reality can be scary at times...

Well said.....it is true...
Some people doesn't realize their potential at first but they will at the end of the day....that if that person is willing to try things in different perspectives...

1. For the person that always have people accompany them will not grow by themselves if he/she keeps depending on those that accompany them..This is what I have seen in many, including myself. Human being has been created to be independent from things....we have been given life from Allah s.w.t to think on our feet...to balance between the good and evil.....that is why we have fard ain....responsibility upon yourself.....
2. Too much movies influence perhaps?Many movies shown that we are only happy if we are together at               the end of the day....this is true.....for some.....firstly, we have fard kifayah...which is collective responsibility.....if no one doing it then it will turn into fard ain....individual responsibility....again..we have to be independent...
3. Criticism of its not cool to be alone?...what is cool actually?Someone is only cool when they can take care of themselves...that is the first rule of coolness...(my thought anyway)
4. Boss always right?why?because they have your salary.....hehe....after I have learnt from one of my bosses from my part time.....they will not always be right...there will be circumstances when they are so wrong....for example......i still didnt get paid from my last job....what it gets me annoyed is because he is always told me to do things correctly...if i dont...then i dont get paid...from then on...i ve got pissed off ...because i have wasted my dad money for the gas....thinking i could repay him when i have got my salary.....
5. Idol?They have already seen their potential when they have worked hard through tears.... thats right ladies and gentleman.....every heroes have their tears shed....you may see their teeth shining through papers...what you didnt know is how the heck have they got themselves what they want?

Food for the thought?

Always be greatful for whatever you have today...because you may not have another chance tomorrow morning....

people may come and go.....but with your ego so high and mighty...thinking they will always be there will not get you anywhere....everyone will be buried anyway at the end of the day
