]]> Comment on The Perils of Giving Advice to the Ones you Love by don http://miwisdom.com/2007/10/29/the-perils-of-giving-advice-to-the-ones-you-love/#comment-125 don Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:15:03 +0000 http://miwisdom.com/2007/10/29/the-perils-of-giving-advice-to-the-ones-you-love/#comment-125 when i was studying engineering, i had a course called microprocessors. I was hopeless in that subject and required major assistance. My sole aim was to make sure i did not fail the subject. I was successful in my aim as i made one of my friend complete a couple of assignments and cheated a bit during my examinations to make sure i just about managed to clear the course. I was so happy that i thought i owed my friend big time. Recently, as i completed my graduation, I sat for a campus interview for Seimens. I was very confident in answering all the questions fired at me and was sure that i would be hired by the HR. But then the interviewer asked me " Tell me something about microprocessors". I sat there in front of him like a dead duck. All my gratefulness to my friend had vanished in a second. I had really wished that he had taught me about semiconductors rather than just complete my assignment and 'handed over a baked fish'. I did not get recruited due to this one question. when i was studying engineering, i had a course called microprocessors. I was hopeless in that subject and required major assistance.

Trials makes us stronger and better. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I believe . Awesome blog you have, great reads!

]]> Comment on Pain Makes People do Cruel Things, Even when they are Intrinsically Good by miwisdom http://miwisdom.com/2007/12/02/pain-makes-people-do-cruel-things-even-when-they-are-intrinsically-good/#comment-102 miwisdom Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:25:05 +0000 http://miwisdom.com/2007/12/02/pain-makes-people-do-cruel-things-even-when-they-are-intrinsically-good/#comment-102 Thanks for sharing your feelings char111. Hope is no doubt one of the most important pieces of ourselves that we must always hold onto. Sometimes it is all we have left after being battered and bruised by life, people and circumstances. Hope is that small flame that burns within a heart that otherwise appears too dim to even recognize. Yet it exists, and within it lies the key to passion. Passion is a fire that burns as bright as day. It's an unstoppable force no matter what the circumstances or adversity. It is by turning the flame of hope into the fire of passion that brings forth movement and momentum. Hope will last great anguish and many challenges, but its the passion that propels one forward beyond what one ever thought was possible. You speak wise words char111. It is so important for all of us to tackle adversity and rise above our experiences and circumstances. Guest posting sounds fine. Give me a couple of weeks as I am working through updates to my other blogs and we'll work something out from there. I hope to get back to updating this blog regularly as well.

It would be great if you could guest post sometime, i would gladly return the gesture. i find a lot of truth in your post. i see "survival mode" as like drowning, some people will climb on the back of another to not drown, or like the Titanic incident, some will row away or leave others to drown. i do not believe this is human nature-to think only of self when feeling mortal. many instances abound where people give their life, or risk theirs even when their lifees challenges are great. this week a once warm, very giving friend in my life rowed away. she is under so much stress, some self made some circumstance born into, but she has gone into selfish mode. there is an arabic proverba that says friendship is about vlowing away the chaf and holding onto the grain. i may not trust my friend at present (many threats were made and stuff broken, my pets endangered- she has a drug abuse issue that i have only found out about), i may not ever trust her again. i will always be here for her though somehow. even if it's only feeding out a 10 foot pole to stop her drowning and she doesn't know it is me holding it. i am fortunate to have had an upbringing that encouraged me to not give up hope, and to not write someone off because they turn on you (within reason, another friend a month ago i asked to stay out of my life, but that was after months of benefit of the doubt and seeing that me in his life was an obstacle to both of us, even if he didn't realise it). i like to think that those trying times are when i have the opportunity to be the person i see myself to be, who i want to be in my heart. there is something about sharing and caring for others when one is strung out and world falling that puts things into perspective and makes the experience so worth it. thx for vixiting my blog.

i find a lot of truth in your post. i see “survival mode” as like drowning, some people will climb on the back of another to not drown, or like the Titanic incident, some will row away or leave others to drown.

i do not believe this is human nature-to think only of self when feeling mortal. many instances abound where people give their life, or risk theirs even when their lifees challenges are great.

this week a once warm, very giving friend in my life rowed away. she is under so much stress, some self made some circumstance born into, but she has gone into selfish mode.

there is an arabic proverba that says friendship is about vlowing away the chaf and holding onto the grain. i may not trust my friend at present (many threats were made and stuff broken, my pets endangered- she has a drug abuse issue that i have only found out about), i may not ever trust her again. i will always be here for her though somehow. even if it’s only feeding out a 10 foot pole to stop her drowning and she doesn’t know it is me holding it.

i am fortunate to have had an upbringing that encouraged me to not give up hope, and to not write someone off because they turn on you (within reason, another friend a month ago i asked to stay out of my life, but that was after months of benefit of the doubt and seeing that me in his life was an obstacle to both of us, even if he didn’t realise it).

i like to think that those trying times are when i have the opportunity to be the person i see myself to be, who i want to be in my heart. there is something about sharing and caring for others when one is strung out and world falling that puts things into perspective and makes the experience so worth it.
