My Take On… Life?

The protagonist in Neil Gaiman’s "The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish" mentioned that there are people who have a great idea once in a lifetime. These are the people who make the world’s great inventions. And then there are people who never have a great idea at all.

However naive the point of view is, I’m glad that I’m a little like the protagonist in which, like him, I can claim to have a good idea at least once a week. But before you accuse me of being conceited, let me tell you this: we all are capable of having great ideas. Some people are just more capable of making the idea sound.

But I digress. That’s enough of those profound pep talk. I myself am feeling a little squirmish in saying those words. Just a few days ago, people were asking me advices on how to deal with life’s problems. I warned them on two things: 1. I’m crazy, and 2. I don’t give good advices. Because I’m very adverse to platitudes, instead of borrowing overused quotes used in response to how to solve life’s issues, I told her:

"I’ve failed, sinned,  stumbled, and been scorned. And yet I’m still standing. You know why? Because  crawling isn’t a very nice way to move forward."

See, I told you I’m crazy and I don’t give good advices! I don’t even know where that idea come from!
