| Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson (C). Source: gocomics.com |
I have picked up three important articles that struck a chord in the last three weeks. It has absolutely nothing to do with the C&H strip above...except perhaps that Calvin is also convinced that he has what it takes (albeit the wrong skills) to do what he wants.
1. Change yourself. Find your own mistakes first. Become more patient, accommodating, forgiving, understanding and what not. The easiest thing to change is yourself, not others. Never ever give up. It's ok to pursue efficiency, knowledge, excellence and the rest but that's your personal choice and chase, not others' pursuit.
2. Do not "take" whatever comes to you. Learn to send back the things that don't belong to you, things that you don't deserve. Free yourself of other people's baggage and burden. You do not have to defend yourself every day of your life.
3. Unconditional love exists but only within yourself. Learn to like (and forgive, as appropriate) yourself rather than expecting other people to know you and your 'wonderful' qualities. Focus on your talents and allowing them to bloom rather than wasting time in expecting others to give you room.

Hi Nimmy,
These are some interesting points you have raised.
Calvin has alter ego in form of Hobbes, which is a voice that tells us something contrary to what we do.
In my opinion, we need to sometimes accept and sometimes ignore these voices as life is not always black and white.
But I agree with your points here.
Thanks and regards,

"Life is not black and white"....that's always a thought-provoking statement for me! Thanks for leaving a comment! :-)
