ive realised something while listening to this john mayer song..(weird i know..). it's extremely easy for us to criticise those in power. it's like as soon as you are given that position, you are also placed on a stage for the whole world to observe your every move.everyone is guilty of it and ive done it myself a couple of times. its so easy to say that someone isnt doing a good job as a leader. he's not forward looking.. or he's too slow.. or he's too square but have we ever thought what we were to do if we were in his shoes? could we have done a better job?It's one thing to criticise and complain but its not going to solve anything if no action is taken.i think its human nature to always assume the worst in people. I guess the thing about leaders that i admire the most is their courage and absolute fearlessness to subject themselves to all the watching and critical eyes of everyone and truly comit themselves wholeheartedly into something they really belive in,good or bad. haha, i've always had this weird childhood fantasy of stopping school in JC and going abroad to do social work and help little kids in Africa or something. i always thought it would be the most fulfilling thing, dont you think? yes, but the idea of it is just pretty absurd i guess. i dont know, maybe im a coward, too afraid to put my thoughts into action. ha. i hope someday to put aside my fears and go for it, at least once in my lifetime...just to see how it feels. sigh, anyway my point is that i guess that i should just learn to see the good in people, to put myself in their shoes and everyone else should do so to. im sorry, i just heard something a few days ago about my very good friend that just bugged me because people dont seem to appreciate what she does and understand how difficult it is to balance friendships amongst other things. i mean, nobody's perfect, but it doesnt mean that we should stop trying.
