The satisfactory to someone’s perception

What does it take to make it work with someone when you are just you? A normal bloke, nothing outstanding or interesting, that does not even make an impression to someone’s mind?

How or what must be done? What if we took the effort to be noticed? You made yourself to be someone that is not the real you for a specific period of time. When you do get noticed, or perhaps get hitched, what’s next? Continue to be the ‘pretend’ person that you are not? What about the true you?

If for any instance that you do get to revert to your old self, would you automatically loose the person that you’ve got as the thing that hold both of you together is the NEW you and not the OLD.

Chances are you might loose this person that you like and hence, get yourself hurt. So do we keep pretending to be someone that you are not? Keep changing ourselves to suit another’s wants, but what about our wants? Is it wrong to be just ourselves? Do we live in a society that is judged by the way they want you to look and act and not the other?

Attention seekers have no problems coping with the society’s demand on how should they look and act. But the other group of people just doesn’t even care what other people think, as long as they are happy with how they look and act.

Living to the expectation on how people look at us is just hard, as we are disturbed psychologically with the social pressure that we did not ask but exist in the world we live in. Sometimes we are envious to some that are able to be what they are and to be able to cope with the environment, but there are some that is just hard to it.

As we see in the American Idol, not all can sing well and they are not musically gifted. Some are just plain tone deaf.

A remedy to this, never look down on yourself on the incapability that how other people see in us, but to work on it slowly on our own pace to suit the flow of your own life. Sooner or later, we will get noticed. Though there is no remedy to those who just want no change in your own and to get someone to notice you. In this world, to not get change won’t go really far compared to those who change little by little.

Ponder we shall.

A new day...?? Pastures greener?

I have officially stepped out of the company that I complained about and got myself a new job within 2 months of the old company. It is true that new job means new challenges, and new pay, but then, it is not necessarily a greener pasture. I've came to a company that is better in a way than the last company, but there is something that made myself well reserved that this company, though is good, but the system or even the people (some of them) that I am a bit reserved. Their thinking or even their mentality is somewhat similar to the one I left. Sigh.

What a way to start a chapter in my life, when there are smudges from the last page of the last chapter stained on the new page. Though the new job I have has better challenges and even better for my career path, it has come to a point that I wonder, will I be able to hold on to this company?
