Be Humble, my friend, Be very HUMBLE!

1st March 2009 - Today another Malaysian relative of mine told me that I would very much fail in my life, as I do not heed any advice from anyone in the family. This again involves in my business. Again, this made me think if some Malaysians do very much think highly of themselves.

Dear Malaysians,with all due respect to all of you, I am not out to rage a war of words with anyone who viewed my blog posts all this while. Honestly speaking, I respect a person because of his/her behavior, attitude and most important, I believe in respecting a person because of self-respect. Self-respect is something I am still trying to learn and attain. Now we are talking about basic human respect here, we all live in a world where civilization have come into our lives, for most of us living in this world till this day, no matter which part of the world you live in.

This relative of mine, is someone who does have an accumulated fortune after years of slogging, and being a scrooge. He is a successful as a businessman, but he failed terribly as a PERSON. He is someone whom I think I couldn't have much repect for. His only words of wisdom 'a human should use his brains more often to think more diversely.' He basically doesn't have any respect for anyone, as he reckons if one who is wealthy and powerful, the world will be his/hers.

He once told me that I am childish as a young man, and I can't handle a business on my own. But in my view, I do honestly think he is the one who have a childish mind, who just live in his own small world of 'Alice in the wonderland'. His world is so small, I do sometimes think if he is wasting his life. His world involves in working hard, coming back home to watch comic, sleep. It's quite simple, but the way he live his life, is quite pathetic in a way. He arrogantly belives most of the people living in this world, has the brain of a pig. He behaves like a child most of the times, playing with teenages, being bullish with his words and 'Kung fu actions'. Honestly, he belives that the fact that he is able to fight, as something he is proud of. Come on, we are not babarians. Fighting is not an alternative or solution to most problems. Honestly, the fact I do sometimes think that I am able to fight, makes me think that I am childish. I am still trying to make a change in my life, and I sincerely hope that I can.

He loves telling people how stupid the people are, in front of others. But I would dare to say, I will still be able to lift my head up high. As least, I finished my secondary 4 'N' level academic studies. I am able to speak proper english, without much stutter. I am trying to improve my life, learning new things. I don't live in my own small world of 'wonderland'. Most of all, I respect people as a human. A human deserves to be respected, regardless of what is the age of the person. Even all the the living creatures in this world, needs to be respected. Don't you think so?

I hope one day, this relative will get a chance to read this blog post and think it over carefully-does he need to respect people? Having a fortune, does not necessarily mean that you are superior over others. You should respect your subordinates or even your employees. Not to dismissed them as pig-headed or some trash. Even a trash can be useful......think plastic recycling. You never know when you are going to meet your downfall, everyone has his/her fair share of ups & downs. Be humble, my friend, be very HUMBLE!
