was looking through the photos i took in barcelona... looking for some nice ones to upload to me blog.... NONE! i couldn't find one which i thought was good. i suppose it's the competitive side of me. after having looked at hobbes' pix... i thought the ones i took were definitely not uploadable!! super kiasu right...
but i suppose we all can't help comparing ourselves with another person all the time. and THAT is the cause of our misery. i suppose i should be able to live quite happily in kuala kangsar, in a small house, working as a barrista in the town's kopitiam, earning enough to feed myself and perhaps fund the occassional trip to KL to buy naf nafs :)
...provided, i don't run into anybody from my school or anybody who's of the same age, doing better than myself! (which i'm sure there are truckloads out there... thank goodness i don't know them!)
we do tend to compare ourselves with people we know, who started of at the same time as ourselves.... and also with people we don't know who are of the same age or younger. sigh. so the secret of happiness : don't compare. but can it be done?

Yes my dear...don't compare. It's all in your mind....it's you who taught me not to compare, and learn how to appreciate what you had achieved in life....experience differ between individuals....

Don't compare. People will inherently see things differently. It doesn't mean that one is better or the other is inferior.
Just post up your pics. :)
No harm comparing. That's where the learning begins. It's the cannot-loose factor that kills.
We ought to happy for people who made it, no? Afterall, they earned it (we hope) :)
By the way, Kuala Kangsar? Really?!
