Be Yourself!

Ya! Be yourself!
Be yourself literally means be YOU as in the original you but not others.

Without noticing, we always do look/check/analyze/comment about people around;
We look/check/analyze/comment about how good/bad a person is, about the way people dress, about how people communicate, about how pretty/ugly someone may look… a lot of good and bad stuffs..,
Sometimes we criticize, sometimes we feel envious.

For those who criticize, take a look at yourselves, are you any better than the people you criticize?
For those who envy, also take a look at yourselves, maybe you’re not really that FAR from the person you envy.
The problem is that, sometimes, for both situations, we forgot to look at ourselves.

When you look at yourself,
No doubt you might find yourself not as good as others in some ways,
But do consider that, there’s sure something you can do better than others.
After all, people ain’t perfect.
(God is quite fair with all these..)

Some people spend their entire life looking at others,
They envy, they idolize people.
They would think, how I wish I could be like him/her, why am I not like him/her??…. blablabla, all sort of nonsense.
Bear in mind that, there is a difference between looking at others enviously and looking at others as a motivational tool.
If you just spend time envying people, things won’t just happen by luck/accident!
Making things happen is not all about feeling envious, we also need to take actions to work things out.
Make the person you’re envy of as a motivational tool.

However, making others a motivation tool is not saying that we need to copy whatever others do entirely, this is not cloning.
But some people really do imitate people entirely! But that makes them not original, I regard those as people with masks, they have no stand for themselves at all.

I supposed the right attitude is that,
We envy people’s success, we look up to people
At the same time,
We learn, we analyze, and we interpret on our own,
We can differentiate what should and what should not.

Only these, can we make ourselves as original as possible.

Thus, we can always be ourselves. =)
