are you proud to be what you are?
-
i'm not talking abt extreme proud that exhuberates arrogance.
i'm referring to taking pride of what u r, ur race, ur birthplace, ur family, ur looks.
basically, i'm talking abt those elements that u r born wif, a fact that u can't change.
give u guys some negative examples:
1. i dont like the way i look, especially my nose. and i want a plastic surgery; or
2. i hate being a chinese. and i try hard to speak english wif an american accent. i pretend i dont know how to speak chinese; or
3. i despise my family for being poor. my dad has no education and i dont want my friends to know him.

i dont think u got me correct here. ur theory applies to those that one can earn along the lifetime, like riches, education, career, etc.Originally posted by Si|verGer:eh human r nv content wif wad they hv 1 so ur wants r always unlimited one. . .even when it seem prefect u still always hv many thing u 1 & demand 4
i am talking abt something that u r born with. perhaps my example number 3 was misleading.
how abt my example number 2? what do u think of ppl who fall into that example? -

somebody just ashamed to be poor. i have a classmate once who was very well-to-do. his dad worked as security guard. actually, i don't despise ppl who r financially poor. as long as they r not lazy, willing to work hard, who will look down on them? i'm willing to make friends with them. but unfortunately, this classmate of mine tried to act rich, boasted that he stayed in a landed property, own a few cars, etc. why did he wanna do that? i dunno.Originally posted by baby84:How can liddat wan..

i know someone that falls in my second example too. he's of a chinese race, father mother all chinese. after ns, sent him to australia to study for a degree. after graduate, he returned to s'pore. but tried to fake a australian accent, which i think it sounded like a failure. if the accent is right, never mind. but his accent was like half singlish, half dunno what. and then when we tried to converse in chinese, he pretended that he forgot all his chinese language. acted that he has difficulty pronouncing a simple greeting like "ni hao ma?". i was dem pissed off by his attitude. i mean, we have been conversing in mandarin since i know him during my childhood days. and over juz 3 yrs in australia and he forgotten his mother tongue? i dont believe that, man. his parents know no english, i wonder how he communicate wif them? and when he sees chinese show on tv, he will say something like "eeek, dem cheena". -

As a 1/4 filipino, although still white in color (the shape of my eyes looks kind of asian)....I'm happy with what I am. Although i'm kind of sad about how I have no philippino culture. My grandmother tried very hard to act and be like a normal American (she came from the philippines after WWII)
She died when I was 1. I never had the chance to ask her about her and the culture.
I'm a nice person, I think, and I'm happy with myself. I put in about 3 hours of community service a week (not a requirement for anything).
Being ang moh isnt an advantage.
I think everyone should be proud of what they are, and if they arent, then they can still change how they act, what their body is like (fitness) etc.
I would like to be exposed to other cultures...although i'm afraid if I go live somewhere else i will experience culture shock ;p
In this life, you always have a choice, make the right one.
Be proud of yourself, and try hard for the goals you set for yourself. -
