Ripple Effect

That’s a picture of a quiet river. (not my own) Throw a peeble on the water and you can see the ripple reaction.

I like to compare people to that river. Sometimes people just do things because others are doing it. They don’t take time to really understand things but they right away jump to conclusion because others are doing it. And it also happens to me at times – just like this paid blogging. Since I saw many are doing it I did join, too. hehehehe

Today morning, someone said to me that he want his name erased from the orders. I already heared some talks that A is better than B and B is better than C. So better — they would cancel their orders with A. I cannot hold them. If they want to back out fine but I them to bravely reason out why they would back out. Instead – the guy said answered, “coz they said so.” :D Poor guy. He wanted the thing so badly and yet he backed out because he saw others back out. I just wonder where was his backbone that moment.

It is a different thing when you change your mind for a thing because you want it and your change your mind because they said so or others wanted you, too. Am sure the latter can make you feel guilty. :)

You’re right. We have to be careful on not being carried away by the mainstream, esp. if they’re wrong and you’re not following what you think is right.

I respect alot of people who like myself aren’t mainstream people. It brings a new meaning to life on sticking to what you believe, yeah it might be harder but its definately worth it in the long run.
