Pho panda is my new idol, He is an inspiration!
I asked myself so many times, why do people treat other people the way they do? Why do I do things the way I do? Why do people wear different kinds of fashion? why do people think and act a certain way?
Later I realize that we learned them from resources available around us. Start from the day that we were born. We cannot choose our parents, our DNA, our early childhood, our mother culture. It's given. The mix of them make you who you are today.
What made me today, might not be very impressive. I came from a middle class family background. I grew up in 4 different cities, learned different cultures and knew different people. I'm half hokkian-chinese and half tiujiu-chinese.
As Audrey Hepburn quoted "I'm half-Irish, Half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess"
I don't know why I grew up weird and shy like this, but perhaps I'm a hell of a mess myself. hahaha!
Well, best not to put the blame on your parents or country. This is just the way it is.
Instead of blaming our past, maybe we can view things from the brighter side, we born this way for a reason. keep positive!
We can of course change our social life by carefully choose our collage, church, friends, and place of living. And change our way of thinking. Those are a list of things to work out and work on.
Take one day at a time, learn to be a better you, and make the best out of life.
