i need some courage
Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:59 AM
as we all know, coldplay's prosphekt march is really good. well, not so for u2's latest album! eeee, they are evolving too quickly. at least that is what i think. oh and just now, jordan and i were watching mtv worldstage on tv and coldplay was on, it was brilliant.
secondly, have you soccer fans watched arshavin yet? he was brilliant against fulham. well ks will say still draw, but then he's still good. ahahha...liverpool should win manutd this weekend and arsenal should win whoever while aston villa should lose. that's the perfect picture, but haha we don't usually get picture perfect in soccer.
thirdly, MGMT's Kids ain't scary! 2 people said it is but it's just typical culture. hahaha KISS will be satanic if MGMT's Kids is scary! alamak!!!
today i was at tampines then simei then tampines. it's a cool place, not that it was my first time. i wanted to have dinner with fantastic 4 but they had rugby training. so in the end, after i got home and finish my work, i headed to hk cafe near home and met lixing and he hung out at my place until about awhile ago.
tomorrow a large bunch of people are going running in, around church... you may see them if you're there at 8pm. it's really going to be quite funny. haha heart of God fitness club. yeah let's keep running!!! one day some of you should join them. north ppl can join hardcore jon dan xing and i. hahhs, we REALLY run... Jon is too fast..
alright, everything seems in place. as much as control can help me get things in place, God placed things in place. it's brilliant, i love life. i love my life.
many people wanna be great. but i think they fall to see that great people are different people. great people do things differently. not 1 dimensional, they kill traditions, they are out of the box and very creative and they dare to do it differently and take up responsibility when it all goes wrong. i love this characteristic about great people. they live life and alter their surroundings with their convictions subtly or in the face of tons of people. they kind of have no fear. their only fear is fear itself.
another thing about great people is that they are flexible. personally, i hate it when ppl tell me it has to be done this thing a certain way. eeee! i rather not do it hahahahah...
flexible and also without walls. a great person is without walls. not in a sense without self control, but i mean exposed. they listen to everyone, everything, they try anything, everything. they're not too sheltered or stuck to their old tricks. they can learn that right thing from the most ungodly people when the most ungodly people do something right. they are open to change, open to different things, different methods. they know nothing is diff under the sun but then they refuse to think that they have arrived. really, everything is the same under the sun, every sermon revolves around the 7 pillars, faith hope and love. but if we think we know it all, then hahahaha we're quite funny. (: great people being great for so long, sometimes fall into this, everything becomes a point of view, a note taken, a way of life. they no longer learn from the 1st person angle. we will never arrive.
in a way also, great people, they are the change agent. everything revolves around them. them being the way they are changes somethings around them. it's beautiful, i want to meet more great people. it's beautiful, something crappy can be beautiful because they do it. they do a crappy thing and it's beautiful.
great people also give. the greatest of all are those who give the most. this is the hardest of all. great people as you know are all mature, mature because they keep giving. great people, they give.
lastly like what Pastor How shared, convictions are everything a great person needs. great people stand. they have convictions and as a result they can do all the above.
we all wanna be great. i wanna be great haha. it's a long way ahead. we'll never arrive because everything moves along with us as we move. we'll never be the smartest, most spiritual, etc.
