Past few days have been wisely spent on the things I've done and said; and although I've done quite a great deal of reflection, I can say (with much shame) that I still can't really face up to what I've said nor done. I guess it is time for me to really understand that I can't always have things to go my way.
I'm not complaining.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I was just looking through some of my bookmarks and I came across this page where they asked you to pen down 10 most important rules that matters to you. And I can't help but think of the 10 rules that I live to (or at least, try to). So I've put in some thought to it and voila, here are my 10 rules that I live to..
1. Don't give 2 cents about what people say about you.
Okay, this is something that I find (sometimes) quite hard to live with. Many times, we get so affected by what others have to say about us and in the end, you totally forget who you're living for; you or that person.
Some people are funny. They spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like...

Sometimes, I have classmates coming up to me, giggling because I dress like a clown. Then again, prolly they've already have an instilled thought - anyone that dresses horridly can't match up to Sam.
And there are times I just can't give a hoot if someone thinks I look hideous because I don't dress to impress them, it's for me, for that sense of self-respect because I like what I dress.
Bottomline is, start today; don't bother about the negative things people say to you UNLESS it's a constructive comment otherwise, people are going to think of you as a big fat snob.
2. Boot licking won't get you far.
I can say that I'm byfar, the most stingy person you've ever met when dishing out compliments. And unless I really mean something, I will compliment it. I don't see the point of making someone like you because you boot-lick when all you do is to give out compliments that don't mean anything.
Downside is, I'll suffer alot when it comes to the working world because part of climbing up the greasy corporate ladder is to boot-lick your boss's ass, something that'll get you far, my Ma-terr sorely told me one day. She isn't a fan of boot-lickers and was sharing that with me while bitching to me about some of my relatives. Then again, something positive that makes out of that matter - at least you stay true to yourself and you don't lie through your teeth.
Why lie when you can tell the truth?
3. Dress how you feel like as and when you feel like it
I can't emphasise this enough.
Dress whenever you feel like it, don't dress up because TODAY is a day special (a special date with someone you really like) and you dress to impress.
Tsk! If dressing up like a Disney Princess makes you feel good, GO ON! Dress like Cinderella! (:
4. Treat people like how you'd treat yourself
That's what my dad always tell me.
Treat someone with respect and in return, he'd treat you back with respect.
But then again, I hate it when I use this rule and in the end, it bites me back in the butt. Besides, nowadays, the world is all covered with superficiality that you find it increasingly harder to draw the line between the word 'sincere' and 'fake'. It takes much skills and up till now, I can't really my finger to it.
I guess this line works if I were still living in the 70s or 80s when things were much simpler then.
5. Don't exercise if you don't want to
Okay, this point's quite pointless and nonsensical. But I'm serious, don't exercise if you don't want to.
Why bother exercising when you've got no motivation to do so? To work those ass out of yours? No point! Might as well, gather all your motivation, then exercise like fuck! You'll feel way more shiok than ever.
Trust me. I did that before. (;
Man, I've typed this post since 14/8/07 and it took me NOW to upload this post. Sorry babies! (: Anyway, I'll upload
NOTE: If you guys noticed, I've only got 5 rules. Thing is, I've yet to think about the other 5 rules. Heh heh. What's yours?
I don't even know you, you won't know that I'm gone.
