  What does it takes to be right? Are we always going to assume that every criticism we receive are constructing? It is so appalling that many people just can't accept that it is their responsibility whenever a failure strikes them and focused their energy on blaming others. However, how long are we going to look at the mirror and put the fault on ourself while the real culprits are out there still freely roaming around?!

   Ever heard of the story of the farmer and his favourite donkey? While he was travelling on his donkey back to his hometown, there were passerby who've criticised him for being cruel to ride his tired donkey. When he continued his journey with his donkey walking by his side, there were other who criticised him once again for letting his donkey walk and suggested him to carry his donkey instead. In the end, as people were laughing at the poor farmer gingerly crossing the bridge with a donkey on his back, the donkey fell off the bridge and died. So its concise from this story that there exist some idiots in this world who have nothing better to do but to criticise and laugh at others (sorry Simon Cowell!). They are just out trying to make people fail with their stupid suggestions and hypocrite expressions. Seriously, are we gonna let these nutcases tell us how to live our life and ruin it?!!

   And there are those who just couldn't bear the sight of us being happy, aliased the sour grapes. They just want happiness and fame for themselves and would gladly make you a collateral damage on their road to success. It may not seem apparent to you on the streets but it is certainly true in the working life and even schooling life. The idea of "every man for themselves" is written all over people faces as they backstab both enemies and friends alike in their walk of fame.
   All in all, it is clear that one principle should stand- stand up for what's true and right and take the blame only if it is really your fault . There is no point in being nice and generous to those who don't know how to appreciate it. While it's true that everyone makes mistakes and it should sometimes be pointed out for their benefit, you are not ordained the right to criticise someone and let them take the fall. I've never been perfect, but neither have you...
   In other dreaded and unrelating news, I've screwed up another chance of being within striking distance from the "A" in Physics. Somehow, it seems to me that the cards are falling out and I'm now down to my last 2 aces...Mathematics and maybe Geography. But, with only 12 hours before my next battle of Math, it will take more than raw effort to pull some strings to make it...I will need divine intervention to pull through.<3
