The mirror shows you the image of yourself. The perfect mirror is the one where you look at yourself the way you are, not shortened, lengthened or widened. If you wish to find the most accurate mirror, look within yourself. Deep inside, you will see the image of yourself. The real image, where you aren't wearing any masks to hide your true self! Try harder and you can clearly see your strengths and weaknesses, your achievements and failures, your relationships, personal or social, your goals and a plan for future. Well, at least I see mine.
My strength is that I can trust myself. It is unless you trust yourself; no-one else can trust you. For instance, if someone gives me a thousand dollars cash and it turns up to be a thousand and fifty, I can be sure of myself that nothing undeserved goes into my own pocket. In that case, I leave it up to them to trust me or not because I know myself and that is enough.
Know yourself. Know what you can do and what you can't. Oh, but! Don't be arrogant. It can't happen that you can't do what you can but it is always possible that you can do what you think you can't. Be ready to learn and try until you get what you set out for and therefore set out for only what you want. You can and you will achieve what you want for you never fail till you keep trying. And as it is said, if you lose, don't lose the lesson.
So I don't believe in failure and I believe I make an achievement each time I am useful to someone on this earth. I mean someone who deserves to be on earth. For example I don't want to be useful to guy who will make use of me and dump me.
My weaknesses! I never understand my mom until she cries; I hate my sister when she is with me and miss her when she is not; don't understand that some people are extremely nice and caring till its time to depart from them and then try to grip time only to realize that it's slipping away. I don't make proper decisions where they matter the most and don't use common sense when direly needed. In simple words, I realize things when it is quite late.
Another horrible thing about me is that I am a dreamer. When I want something my way, I just want it. And when it does not go that way, I start getting depressed. As a way out of this and to console my heart, I start believing and living as if things have gone my way. I start living in a fake world. Even a slight realization that what I believe is not true sends me back to depression. Therapists and medicines can't help because this is no disease, it's a weakness. My family does everything to please me, but I know the whole world is not going to do the same.
So who can help me? Me! I have realized that it is better to face the world than to turn my back at it. You are not for the world, the world is for you. So face it! Do what you think is right and you don't have to give an explanation to anybody, for nobody is superior or inferior to you. We are all equal. In the eyes of god we are and that is the only thing that matters to me. Try doing things that will earn you respect in his eyes and because god is within us, earn respect in your own eyes. Dare to stand in front of the mirror and look into your own eyes. You will see your past reflecting your present and your present reflecting your future.
So now you do know I am trying to improve myself!
When it comes to relationships, I try to keep the best image, sometimes by wearing a mask and sometimes by removing it. I try my best to please most of the people but in the end I let them think what they want to. “You can't make everyone happy”, as Lincoln has said.
My goals for life starting from this year are as follows:
- Live life at its fullest, you never know when it might end
- Learn to love those who love you and understand those who hate you
- Earn as many credits as possible and graduate early
- To get in Cornell and if possible Harvard to study to be a surgeon
- To become very rich, in money and character
My plan:
- face life
- work hard
- believe and trust in god and for him to love you
- follow his only commandment
- don't hurt anyone
Thank you because I know you are saying best of luck!
