Today writing this post just to help myself think clearly. Feeling somewhat low.... dont know why i cant help feeling like this every now and then...

as though a time comes when everybody decides to show their true self...

i dont understand is it really stupid not to give any hard response to those who intentionally try to hurt you or think ill of you... dunno why but now its really hurting me, to think that how much truth about myself i've disclosed to others.. noone but oneself is one's best friend...

because even if not to hurt you, but people think that you are not sensible or strong enough to keep your thoughts to yourself...

as such it's true... this is so because i cant keep everything to myself. i mean i cant hide anything from anybody... it feels to me as though i m hiding or running away from myself.....

but i guess one needs to be practical and smart enough to deal with people this world is filled with.. even your best friends might not be with you..... everyone has got one's problems and one's own life to deal with.. who has got time for others??

vaise bhi today only i read something said by General Colin Powell, Chairman (Ret), Joint Chiefs of Staff said : "Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity: you'll avoid the tough decisions, you'll avoid confronting the people who need to be confronted, and you'll avoid offering differential rewards based on differential performance because some people might get upset."

This is quite a different concept i came to read about.. and perhaps it's true.. one needs to hold some dignity- fake it till u make it.
i don't mean to say that i have no self-respect but then i am not much of an egoist.
and what i've found out is that people who don't get easily offended are those who are always taken for granted..
sick but true :

anyways, i think this dilemma is always gonna be there as long as one lives... regarding how to act, what to act, when to act, what is true, what is correct and what's not..!

at the end of the day i feel no matter what the hell others think, it's always better to be true to yourself. this is what holds utmost importance..

People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered.
Love them anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway
People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway
Give the world the best you've got and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got ANYWAY!
