Recently been reading a book titled The Little Prince
Have long been heard of ppl mentioning the little prince
but dont really know about the story
so when i saw this book in the Leo Bookstore at Island Plaza
i bought it home :)
And now, im in love with this book
it somehow reflected the something in me
or should i say, 'they matched'.
It was saying,
the grown-ups love to see things from the surface n judge from the outside.
They see only tangible things
the intangible one was always being neglected
n it was usually the most precious one.
For instance,
when you tell them that you have made a new fren
they never ask you questions about the essential matters such as
"What does his voice sound like?"
"What games does he love best?"
"Does he collect butterflies?"
Instead,
they asked: "How old is he?"
"How many brothers has he?"
"How tall is he?"
that is what differentiate the grown-ups and the kids
the grown-ups loves figures
they think they can only learn something about the person from these figures
If you were say to the grown-ups:
"I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, french windows, and doves on the roof"
they would not get any idea of the house at all.
You'd have to say:
"I saw a house that cost 3million!"
then they'd claim:
"Wow, what a pretty house that is!"
I realised
The older we become, the more 'ordinary' we are
we have to be submissive in order to fit in the society
following the rules...the regulations...the norms...even the thought
proving 'we are the same' in order to get their approval
and so we wont be alienated
Many was born to be musicians and artists
they had so much talent when they were kids
but ended up grown up into such an 'ordinary' working group
struggling to be someone who they think they 'should be'
working from 9 to 5
repeating the same thing everyday
doing things they don't even like or enjoy doing
living paycheck to paycheck
months to months
years to years
n called it a 'life'
Is that what life really should be?
If yes, how boring it is!
is that reli what they want?
do they reli feeling happy?
wouldnt they regret for not brave enough in pursuing their dreams when they gonna past?
is staying in the comfort zone reli feels comfort n happy?
Since they struggled so much n do not feel happy at all
why dont they just pursue their dreams n do something they reli enjoy doing?
wat is the reason stopping them from pursuing their dreams?
The answer is always the same
because of MONEY
they claimed:
"DREAMS and REALITY are always not the same"
"DREAMS cant feed our stomach"
But the problem is,
i dont see many who followed the ordinary path really success financially
many are still complaining about 'not enough'
living in debt
dreaming to be a millionaire
If to say
the consequence of pursuing own dream is the worst
unfortunately,
i dont see following the ordinary path has any better than worst.
In light of this,
why dont we just pursue our own dream since both has almost-the-same-worst risk?
What do you think? :)
