Diplomats, who?

posted in Blah |

I have not been blogging, have I? Didn’t seem to have anybody asking me - “Hey, Vic have you stopped blogging already?” It is either they don’t care or they are used to my style - blog only when mood approaches. I guess I fall into the latter category. Sometimes my inspiration of writing just got blow off by the hustle bustle around me. There are always many things in my mind that, of course, willingly to share with everybody. But it is always wise to screen through my thoughts whether or not that piece of mind can be shared freely. Having said that, I always prompt myself to say only the right thing at the right time. How do we justify right or inappropriate then? Can my readers interpret the same meaning as what I intend to deliver? I don’t know, maybe thats why we have a place where readers can become writers. Just leave a comment if you feel like it, or you are in doubt with what I say. Let’s exchange the thoughts. Would this be more effective rather than presuming the whole idea in your own way?

What about criticism? Can I handle? I don’t know if I could. But I am prepared to be criticised, every body has got a say and every body likes to be agreed by others. Hey, you mean you don’t hear the buzzing little voice in you when you disagree something? Really? Liar. Opps, wrong? Maybe you are one of the diplomats then.

Why not let us know what you think by adding your own comment! Your opinion is as valid as anyone elses, so come on... let us know what you think.

    Vic, there you go… worrying about what people will think of you. To be sure, we should care about what people think of us, but not to a point where we allow it to paralyze us.

    “Can my readers interpret the same meaning as what I intend to deliver?”
    This is a language and writing style issue. It is, I believe, one of the most important skills in life (no matter what your career) to be able to say what you mean, and mean what you say with crystal-clear clarity.

    “What about criticism? Can I handle?”
    Learn to handle it; you’ll be facing it on a daily basis. Welcome to the real world. :) Actually, I thank God for the ones who criticise me, as well as encourage me. It’s the ones who keep totally mum who don’t care at all…

    God bless! Keep blogging!

    Thanks for the words. *speechless now*
    *pondering*

    You know some people write very well, with crystal-clear clarity but others can still discrepant about it. To like a book is first to agree with what the author has written.

    I can come to a stage where I don’t need people to agree with me. I’ll just follow what “my heart” says. Stubborn girl.

    Thanks to technology that I don’t need a publisher or editor’s agreement to publish my article.

    Sorry, dun agree on that point. I dun have to agree with you to like you. If that’s the case, the minute friends disagree on something, they stop liking each other? Nuh-huh.

    “I can come to a stage where I don’t need people to agree with me. I’ll just follow what “my heart” says.”

    Your logic (and principle) is a bit shaky there, Vic. In fact, I dun agree with that at all; but then, you already said you dun need me to agree yar? :)

    Still, I’m a friend, of course, because only a friend will tell you they disagree… those who don’t care, won’t bother, ya? Take care.

    Ju, Ju when I said I don’t need people to agree with my thoughts, simply because I don’t always need to seek their approval/agreement when I do what I want ,provided my conscience is clear. I do listen ,to certain extend because there’s where I know my mistake or what I might do wrong.

    It was meant that I can come to a point where I don’t need people to agree with me. This is no doubt, very self-centered if we think ahead. It’s a matter of choice whether I want it to be as such.

    I wouldn’t clarify now if I don’t bother at all.

    I really appreciate your comment here because there’s where I know you disagree with what I have just said earlier. Let’s go back to your first comment; I totally agree with your say of “we should care about what people think of us, but not to a point where we allow it to paralyze us”.

    When you say “think of us”, I expect people to count our walk, our act of doing and our say. If I happened to walk outta track, do guide me back.

    :D God bless.

    Dear Vickie

    First of all, your writing has improved wonderfully over a short time, and that’s fabulous not just in building your confidence in the written expression but in finding a vent for what’s inside of you.

    About what you wrote: I think given the kind of people in the world, we should weigh what they say - to consider - and if they make sense, learn from them. If you think they don’t, leave it. If you think they condemn or suppress you, deny them from robbing you of who you truly are, and the joy you possess.

    All in all, do care enough of what people say about you, BUT not too much. Usually you place more strength and value on their words if they are precious or important to you.

    Stay Well!!
