Is it Truly YOU when standing in front of your Mirror?

We often tend to treat a person back with an inadequate manners when they start to do something bad to us. And here’s what we always used to say


“You hurt me first”

“You did it first”

“You scold me first” That’s why i did the same thing to you back.


There’s plenty of time that we prone to be receiving the leisure from our partners or person that we really care about hoping once they will never stop giving it. We constantly SEEK for more from him or her kindness yet at the end we did not get what we intended for. Well that might not be the case when argument starts and this will to something STORING in our heart which is dissatisfaction or disagreement. We thought the problem would be solved when we ignore or just stay away from it. But what would happen when one day the volcano erupts? Then everything is just too late to mend it back. So the question is, are you KIND enough to place the right mirror?


Somehow it might be too complex or too compact when deflecting yourself to get the right mirror on you. Talking about the kindness of your own humanity is just referring to “How kind can you be?” No one’s perfect and no one’s can be perfect too. Whether or not is always relying on how we perceive them as unique, unusual, or weird. There’s always this OUTSTANDING person in our life so that it makes our life fluctuate with sadness and happiness.


When we were heading to the dinner yesterday, something unexpected happen. There were some slight issues that shouldn’t be carried out but this person just kept on highlighting it to make the situation worse. What my first thought of it was to just simply scold back. But then again, thinking back to the mirror. What do I want to get if I treat this person in this way? Fairly I then replace my mirror to reply in a polite manner. Guess what, this person did not react the same way for the first-hand. I did not give up and I constantly did the same thing over again, by placing the right type of mirror. It embarases her a number of time and naturally the environment forces this person to treat me the same way. There was always one word that my family used to define me.

STUPID.

Stupidest person in the house that doesn’t even know how to manage chores.

Stupidest person in the house that always got red marks on the paper.

Stupidest person in the house that don’t even know anything.


Initially I accepted this as a fact ever since in my young age. And that’s why I was being perceived as the stupidest or weakest person. But like I said, sometimes we are just like a volcano that will erupt at anytime. So then I pluck up my mind to make a change at the age of 14. I was supposed to be in the last class yet I studied hard and forced myself to the utmost level of concentration in order to get good results so that I could upgrade my class level. Yeah, I did it! I broke the mirror to make a change.


I am Rich.

I bet your first thought would be materials, luxuries, or even money isn’t it?

Well I am rich not in the sense of any above.

I am rich in experiencing the hardship at my very young age.

I am rich in being a janitor at the first semester of my degree intake.

I am rich in taking up challenges without realising when did it happen.


And all this while until now, I perceived myself to be a Brand Ambassador. Brand ambassador to do the BEST of me in every single part of my life even if being a janitor. What people identify the place clean or not, is always depend on me. What if they laugh at me if i does this? “People are either going to laugh at us, or laugh with us. And that’s up to US to decide.”said Xandria Ooi. Well, our life is fleeting to try new things. Replace your mirror with something uncomfortable is the steps of stepping out of your comfort zone.


I might not say I am a successful person yet but I am one step closer to my desire. I am now the Brand Ambassador for my own business product for Derma Hydra, EL Marino Blanc, and Sensualite in the Malaysia market. And sooner or later, I’m proudly to say I will expand my business to international market as it’s now is working into e-commerce.


Back to the case in mind, are you KIND enough to place the mirror at the right place in your life? Arguments are always dependent on how or what we want to receive back in return. Stupidity will always be conditional on whether or not are you going to accept this as a fact or to make a CHANGE in your life. Whereas being a rich person can always be decided on YOU yourself on how you perceive the situation as. So, where did you place your mirror at?




Cheers!
