Today I realized one important thing. Got some bad feedback this morning .. criticism from some people. You see after a recent retreat I took, I felt like I have been doing much better in some aspects of my behavior. And perhaps my mistake was to assume others would see it too - and they would give some encouragement by recognizing or acknowledging it.
But most ppl (in case Amy is reading - people means all of us including me so need to kutuk) - are so apt at looking at faults only and not forgetting the past. So while I sincerely believe I've improved (well maybe just a little) - it was really disappointing to hear people criticize and say - so short fuse .. so this and that. Sigh. Disappointed me for a while.
But then a voice inside said to me and told me this: the important thing is how u feel about yourself. You would know if u are making improvement or not. Others may be still caught up in their vision of the past and still look for signs of ur old behavior. Don't let their remarks bring u down. This doesn't mean u never listen to feedback from others. Consider what they have to say - and after an honest evaluation - trust your heart, trust your instincts - be kind to yourself. I think I am making improvement - and if no one else sees it .. that's ok. I will keep doing what I am doing and seek to continue to improve even more .. not for their sake .. but for my own well being.
In the famous words from the Love Guru (movie la), "others may say bad about me, but I won't say bad about myself." Hahaha.
That's it for his entry .. tata.

Haha .. is ok .. ur feedback is welcomed. Everyone can have their own opinion, and we cant satisfy everyone. That's why it is important to not try to please everyone cos at the end u may end up pleasing no one.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I will keep in mind when we want to change. :)
u r right, "u r what u think". Y should u think it's a criticism to u while most of us r behaving the same but not knowing.
Sorry. I don't get it, Amy. If everyone is doing it and they don't know they are doing it - then it is not considered criticism?
Say for example, we go into a community where people all steal from each other. They don't know that what they are doing (taking things from each other without permission - and pretending they didn't take it) is called "stealing." Then because they don't know that is stealing, it becomes NOT stealing??
Umm, I also happened to blame those who slow down to "geh po" n coz the jam but later on I found that many peoples r also responding s I was. V 4goten that v r one of those passengers: the mouth is mumbling but the eyes r gazing at the scene.
Well, I would rather to argue that v r curious creature simply becoz v concern others/ownself: v want to find out what's going on of our surrounding, whether v may also get in2 risk/some peole really consider to help, ofcoz there r also some1 to take opportunity to commit crime.
ps: It's an awareness to everyone of us. Improving ourself by evaluating our comment.
pps: Everywhere is a learning place.
