whatever...
8.1.07 @ 09:22 won't you agree that its interesting that life can be so expected but yet so unexpected? sometimes, the worst things happen just when you least expect it. and so do the best things. it was expected that an announcement was going to be made but i didn't expect it to be that until 2.5 hours before it happened. the thought just appeared. "could it be that ... again?" i tried telling myself no way. it won't happen AGAIN. but when i asked just to be reassured that it won't, the answer came back as the worst thing that can happen. by the way that they said about making an announcement, it sounded all so happy, as if there was going to be a joyous event like someone getting married or giving birth to kids. but yet the news was a sad one. or at least to me it is. he told me that it might be a good thing since we'll all have more time to prepare and there's going to be double the sense of achievement at the end. but what if, let's just say what IF, the worst were to happen once again? taking our hopes away since the second joy was not confirmed, and i doubt is confirmed? yes, true that it would be double the joy if what they say were to be true. but think about it. the second joy was to be the one that would require us to make more effort for. by what i see, at the end of the first happiness, some people would be too tired for the second joy. and with the addition of losing people to share the joy, would it be as good as they expect it to be. if i remember correctly, on the day of the second joy, which is the day after the first happiness, is my sip launch in the morning (or at least i think it's in the morning). i'll try to be energetic. but how long can that energy last me? take me out of the picture and see, how many people are actually willing to go back now? their faith and hopes have been lost, hearts have been broken. how many people are willing to give their hearts and souls in to it again? this whole thing is like being in a relationship. first, the partner gives you hopes, dreams and promises of a better future. but after some time, he/she tells you that 'hey, i think we've to hold back on the promises. i don't think we (you) can fulfill the criteria for the promises. so let's slow down, i'll fulfill my promise to you in another 3 months.' but you're not happy about it. you feel heartbroken. you feel as if a thousand needles are in your heart. you feel like you're being let down. you can't take it anymore, you talk to your friends about it and your partner finds out. now he/she walks up to you and say 'well, why don't i fulfill that promise a month in advance? i'm sure we can work things out!' you feel great. now you have something to look forward to again. you do your best in it. but just one month before the promise was to be fulfilled, your partner tells you this. 'my dear, i've decided upon something. i'll fulfill the promise to you. but it'll be late. nearly 2 months late to be exact. but don't be sad. i've made a great plan for it. not only am i going to fulfill that promise of mine, i'll give you something else, something even better!' how many times can a person's heart be broken in less than 6 months? once is pitiful, twice is unfortunate. will there be a third? if there's a third, it means only one thing. it's a cheat. a broken heart don't heal so quickly. especially if it's twice in a quarter. how many people can have their hearts healed and willing to jump back into the relationship again? i'm not sure. have my heart healed? am i willing to jump back in again? i don't know. i can only say i'll try my best to heal and go back. sometimes it really seems hopeless. this whole thing. if it's a relationship, i'll say the partner is hopeless. don't make promises that you know you might not be able to fulfill. we learnt it in marketing in year 1. DO NOT over-promise and under-deliver. it will just leave you with a dissatisfied customer who won't make a second/return visit/purchase. it's always better to under-promise and over-deliver. he said 'that's for products. not for people.' but i beg to differ. that sentence is useful, even in our daily lives. think about it. with love, xoxo |
