"put yourself in my shoes!" that's what we usually say when we feel pretty upset with the circumstances surrounding us. just today, another thought hit me.. what about taking yourself out of the situation and looking at things from another perspective, in the third person.

you'll realize, life is a joke sometimes. there is no way you can control the things people say about you or do to you.. especially unjust issues.. but there is a way to manage your own emotions. recently i've learnt that there's no real need to take yourself too seriously. because frankly, you're the only one bothered about it. no one else is!

if you've done no wrong, nothing will go wrong. that's easy to say.. and it's not that hard to carry through either. instead of asking you to understand my position (which probably isn't going to happen.. well sometimes it doesn't), i just take myself out of that situation and look at it as a third party. i might enjoy and appreciate the dynamics a whole lot better. and probably live a lot longer (:

This long paragraph is not by me, its by jeanette aw. i went to her blog recently to see how she's doing right now. so i think what she said here is true. haha.. http://blog.sina.com.cn/xuantasy her blog <<
