Thoughts comes and goes. While I'm doing mindless tasks like chopping up ingredients for a meal/dish; while walking to train station and the journey back home after work; while showering; before I sleep.
Today, chopping up ingredients for a one dish pot-luck ex-collegues gathering. I was reading a blog earlier that mentioned they have met Aaron Kwok in person and chatted with him. That reminded me my teenage days and the idols we used to fuss over with friends. Then, I was reminded of a question teachers or adults sometimes ask a kid.
Who is your Hero / Idol?
I thought about it for a while, my mind scanning through great achievers, great sportmans, great politicians, teenage idols?!, people who dedicate their lifes achievement to their parents. I've never been able to answer this question till now.
My Heroes and Idols are those who loves me. Anyone who had loved me. Anyone who still loves me in no matter whatever way they know how to. It is not easy loving someone. To want to do the right thing by them because you love them. When you can understand their actions and intent towards you, it should be a form of support and drive that can fuel motivations and strength.

So, who is YOUR Hero / Idol? =)

Idol/hero whom I look up to and truly respect?
Don't have any. :( No famous figure or personality.
Just Bam and Moo.

"When you can understand their actions and intent towards you, it should be a form of support and drive that can fuel motivations and strength."
What a beautiful sentence.. U've no idea how much it made me realise... I might not be able to apply it fully, but at lease, i've averted a huge quarrel...
I'm afraid to trust, for the fear of getting hurt. But if I don't hurt, when will I learn to trust?
So glad I found u~ *hugs*
=) am glad tt it shed light. E purpose of blog is not just to remind oneself and/or derives clarity in e process, but it should also be able to aid others. In that sense, there will then be a worthy purpose.
In response to ur 3rd para. I would ask u to read motivations n inspiration. "Face it, experience it, and gain wisdom doing so."
I do agree... That's why I feel that hurt is inevitable if I wanna learn to trust. Whether hurt in the form of self-inflicted pain, or hurt inflicted by the other...
At least u gave it a shot. At least u know u r living life by doing e best u can. Learning to trust is improving oneself. It's a good n necessary process in life. U will eventually learn to be happy and learn contentment.
You r in good hands. U will be fine.
Hugs.
