My Afterthoughts for "Allergy to Bullet"
Preface
I afraid it will be quite demoralizing for you if I write my afterthoughts in the same page with the original article “Allergy to Bullet” because it will looks too long. Thus I create a new topic here for my afterthoughts. If you want to view the original article, you may click .
Mummy, I want that toy!!!
Most of all, we will start blaming this and that when we are fallen into a “no-choice-situation”. It seems blaming is the only way for us to release our angriness for that matter. Innocence is our humanity; fancy that blaming could bring us a miracle. Well, that's never happen anyway – we are not kids anymore; grumbling and crying are not the tricks for us to get the “toy” we want.
Just A Game of “Head and Tail”
“Then, what else I can do?” Our friend maybe will ask. “Change our mind,” I would answer, “Always look on the bright side. Situation might not that bad as you think. Just like a coin, it has the ‘head' side and the ‘tail' side. None of them is absolutely the best, and none of them is absolutely the worst either. There is positive side hidden behind the negative side, and vice versa. It's just depends on how you look on it. So your situation is. Even if you really get the choice you like, can you guarantee everything will to be much more better than now? Although the situation now isn't your choice, but if you make your every effort to play your role well, would the result still be worse than your choice one? I understand your feeling now, you are been filled with unsatisfied for not getting the choice you want. That unsatisfactory to the situation blinded your eyes. That's why you can't see the bright side of situation. I'm not disagreeing with you for blaming, ‘cuz sometime I'll too. But remember that; blaming wouldn't change the situation, unless you tried accept what truly the situation is, and react it with harmony.”
Conflict Between Teens and Their Parents
The most common case I could see is amongst my friends is about making decision for their further study (I'm also the one who fallen into this situation too). There is always a conflict between teens and their parents – the teens will choose to continue their study in private college (which will causing parents' wallet “bleeding”), while the parents will choose other choice which might the teens will feel uncomfortable with. Despite what the choice of the teens is, the final decision, of course, mostly is on the hand of parents.
If this really happen to you, let's try to look on the bright side of the situation, for there should be something you can't get and can't learn if you undergo with your choice. There should be advantages in your parents' choice too. What you have to do is explore the advantages of it, making your best effort, playing your own role (as Shakespeare saying goes, “Life is like a play” :p ) and do the best what you can do to achieve the goal you had set (although it might looks harder by undergoing your parents' choice). That's just a matter of having the RIGHT ATTITUDE, using the RIGHT SKILLS and the extra advantage of the RIGHT STRATEGIES. Furthermore, if it is because financial problem for parents not taking your choice into consideration, so let it be. You shouldn't be so selfish – asking your parents to work hard like guinea pigs to achieve your own aim! Don't blame your parents. Parents always love their children. They always give the best and do the best for you, although what they do might seem isn't the best for you.
Life is a game.
So fix the odd!
