Excuses, excuses

         

            I hate excuses. Especially ones which are used as justification for something bad that we cannot stop or things we cannot do.

If you cannot stop smoking, don’t go around proudly saying research says being a passive smoker is more dangerous that being an active one. Have you ever seen the government’s warning at the end of cigarette commercials saying “NO smoking can harm your pregnancy and causes impotence”?

            If you love your job more than you love your family, don’t go around saying that quality time is more important than quantity. There IS quality in quantity!

            If you cannot successfully abort your second child, don’t go around saying “An only child will grow up to be anti-social” to people who choose to only have one son.

            If you cannot get the score you want in a test because you’re not as smart as you think, don’t say it’s because the computer can’t read you answers.

Don’t hide behind excuses! Take full responsibilities of our actions!

I like seeing people who are disabled or people who are put in a difficult situation make something out of their lives. They are true motivators for they prove that situation or whatever it is that makes life difficult for these people don’t stop them from achieving something good. That by not making excuses they can move forward and inspire people.

Maybe that’s why there’s so much unhappiness in people’s lives.

Maybe that’s why there are so many families torn apart.

Maybe that’s why my country is not as developed as other Asian countries.

Maybe that’s why this world is full of hatred and wars.

And that’s exactly why I don’t teach my son to hit and blame the floor whenever he falls.
