Another thinking..

Saw an article a few days back, citing the human behaviour. Alright, quoted from it, Muhammad Ali would always say after each fight, "It ain't bragging if you can do it." I was thinking, after you did it, you talk about it, it's not bragging? Bragging is all about being boastful, not something else. I assume to many, brag means empty talks, as in saying things one can achieve/did not achieve, or exaggerating actually. To disappoint, no, it plainly means boastful.

Feeling proud is good, or great maybe, but we need to limit oneself. Say if Mr. Ali got his statement right, in another way it means we shouldn't be confident and make a statement before the incident? If, we fail, what will we be branded with or named as? It's ain't bragging if you're can't do it anyway Mr. Ali, it's exaggerating as i mentioned earlier. Life's as complicating as English anyway, so who cares.

I learnt a lesson just on Tuesday. Got chilled for no reason. No explaination was permitted anyway. Nearly lost my cool actually, but withheld it. Was taking the blame when the truth eventually submerged, everything went on fine. Hence, taking the blame always help. Arguement would only leads to more damage done.

Hope and may all bless me with the IELTS this saturday, then eventually may the whatever force grace me with the strength to partake both my job and my desired education. I'm starting to have the gift of gab already, maybe, i thought. Think the written and listening thing shouldn't be much of a problem, after doing it all yesterday in real time, averaged a high score actually. So hope the oral "interview" gets on fine and i'm expecting a band 7 or 8 actually. Not the minimum required band 6. Happy birthday to me anyway. Take care all peeps.
