Inspiration

I was fiddling with bloggers today, and created a blog - http://top-rated-anime.blogspot.com after my http://places2experience.blogspot.com . Diversifying my journals! hahaha. (Yeah. I am sort of, FREE)

I remembered a book that I read last Sunday. The title was eye catching: When you do, do the opposite (or something like that).

I was only able to read until page 84. But throughout the 84 pages, it really open up my mind and thoughts. There was a segment that I watched in One Tree Hills. The younger brother saw a bird with broken wings. He wanted to help it. But elder brother took a stone and kill it, quoting: It is weak, so it must die.

Some may say it is cruel, other may see it as mercy. I see it as a sign of evolution.

All of us have dreams to chase. We were more often being taught to be modest, kind, and caring.
But what happen is, if we do not know how to balance them, we may be dragged down by the weaker ones.

I do not know how to write them in a better way, but I was talking about this with a friend of mine over msn yesterday. I quoted in msn: Biggest obstacle to success: Afraid to fail.
He said that it should be: Biggest obstacle to success: Ourselves

Me: True,But if somebody perceive it wrongly, they might just commit suicide
He: but then that person wont be strong in the first place..only the strong will survive - Darwinian theory states
He: To succeed, you must at least, have the will and the want to succeed
Me: u are right. But you have to remember, people out there are like others.
He: We have to help those too weak and downtrodden to help themselves. Give of your heart and without selfish reasons nor greed, and expect nothing back.

Once upon a time, I will agree with him truly. We have to help those who are weak. But now...my answer differs..

"If you have all the time in the world, please be my guest. If you allow the weaker to pull you down and delay your journey, I have no comment.
Those who are weak are always left behind. It is up to you to stay with them or proceed to success"

He quoted: The weak should be culled and destroyed, for they slow the strong down - Mashio Kikito.

The book actually change my perspective in 2 hours. Before this, I dont think I can debate with him with such strong words. (Haha). It is a wonder how the a book makes you believe.

But of all, no opinion is right or wrong. You determine if it is right or wrong.

And yes, I will definitely go back to MPH to get the book and author name again. (I am old. I intend to forget.*blek*)
