Today's Thought

Most of the limitations you think you have are the ones you have decided on.

They are often entirely self-imposed.

You might think, 'I can't do this, I can't do that, I would never do that, my parents could never do that, I never played baseball, I never climbed a mountain,

I never, never, never'...

and, sure enough, you discover you can't, you're unable, you're incapable,

and then,

You blame fate, luck, the government, the others, god;

everything and everyone else, except YOURSELF!

Blame this, blame them, blame Chinese, blame Indians, blame Free Trade Agreement, blame Madoff, blame GOD... but never UMNO wrong for Malays long term failures and weaknesses.

Yeah, blame Obama for his "Change" motto but no way the benggaps to be blame for being slow and malaise attitude mindset etc.

Yeohhh... Malaysia Buleh!

Mr Maverick, such a meaningful post. Yes, you are right. Human being very often discouraged by ourselves but never in our life blame ourselves for the consequences for not taking up the courages to do it before saying NO to whatever in our mind. Willpower and determination need to play it's part to overcome the inner-self to pursue our goal diligently.
