Blogging from Lahore.
Armed with my iphone i attempt to blog in my hotel room. Ran into some difficulties though...
First of all, the iphone doesn't let u blog from the convenience of the Compose page, instead u have to write all your blog entries in HTML. Lucky i'm not just trained to be a cabin crew, i have engineering background as well.
Anyway what's with the radio promoting engineering courses? We dun get such publicity in the past. Hee... finally we have too many bankers doctors and lawyers. haa haaa... Now u know the importance of an engineer.
But unfortunately the money is elsewhere, so i would forgo my engineering background and embark on a different path and it won't be cabin crew.
Yes i know, a comfortable lifestyle is hard to give up. But to trade my self esteem for money i just couldn't bring myself to do that. I'm a commando after all, and our's is a hard but glorious life. If there is no challenge, then there is no point in existing.
Challenge your limits, not limit your challenges.
I have crew telling me that they were this and that in the past and that nothing beat this job, the outside world is hard. Then i look at them and think, why do u wanna lead a leisure lifestyle with nothing to accomplish when u have the potential to do so much more?
Well... whatever... I know being human, enough is never enough, u will always want something more, how long can u convince yourself before u realised it's not enough? That u are hungry for more? Do u want to wait till u lose the ability to do something about it then u make your choice? By then is too late.
U lose your freedom of choice, u lose yourself. u get drag around by the company, like a dog on a leash. U dare not bark, because u fear losing your meal. U cannot hunt because u forgotten how to already. I rather be the wild pack, an alpha male. Proud and dignified. I hunt hard for my daily meal, yet i do not have to worry about not getting fed tomolo. If i'm good enough, i will survive. The true test of one's abilities.
No point claiming your skills when u are hand fed everyday.
Even if i failed in the end, at least i know i have tried my best and there is no other way and if i want to hang myself for failing i can jolly well go ahead, there is no regrets. At least it beats wondering whether i should hang myself or not for not trying and not knowing whether i would fail or not.
Life sucks but that's the way it is, it's the mother of all bitches, that will mock at your failures and make u miserable. To not try is to succumb to life and become life's pet bitch. I'm an rebel- what life throws at me i will go against it. I will never succumb to what people's so-called "life-installed".
I exist to fulfil my potential.
Recently i visited Lynn that was recouperating at home after an op. She told me her brother told her that he has a friend that knows me, they used to call me LEGEND. Haha... I've not heard this word for a long time since my glorious canoeing days. It reminded me that there are always people looking up to me, looking up to me for inspiration. To not perform is to fail them.
I will not fail those who have faith in me and look to me for inspiration.
Because I AM LEGEND...
I AM JONATHAN.
