Not There Yet

Several students sat in an oval, and at one end there was this man in his late 30's wearing smart clothes, with his hair combed to one side - a Cristiano Ronaldo look.

The students were still in their early 20s or late teens and haven't accomplished anything in life. No assets, no family, no career. Nothing extraordinary.

The handsome man, clearly the leader of this group of students then says
"Tell me, what is your life motto."

"You, the one on the left, you start."

'The one on the left', or Azim, which was his real name said
"Erm, motto hidup saya ni, 'kalau kita mahu berjaya, kena usaha habis-habis. Siang malam hujan banjir, usaha!' "
The oval of students applauded Azim's creative motto.

Then after some other students, it was my turn. The thing is I didn't know what to say. So I just read a motto off a piece of paper; so I said "Bersekutu menambah mutu". Little did I know that the leader of this discussion would get his panties in a knot.

"Fikirkan motto anda sendiri!" he said fuming.

The thing is, I am a 20 year old who has not accomplished anything. I have morals and principles - yes. But a motto? A slogan? Well, I am no Mahathir or Edison or Graham Bell to have some sort words of wisdom. You know?

I'm a snotty 20 year old, who hasn't been through any notable hardship. The only 'kata-kata hikmah' I came up with was quite 'lucah', and it goes a little something like
'long distance relationships will work out, if, you have a long c*ck'
but see? That really isn't like 'motto' or like 'hidup ini seperti bola, kadang-kadang di atas kadang-kadang di bawah' shit. It's 'lucah'. lol

take care

i love you

So true. The life coach himself is bullshit. I'm 30, I'm 10 years older than you, that means I know what life is, so shut up and learn.

see the boxes at the bottom (of the post) ? Tick one if you have the time. Because if the genre is disliked, similar posts won't be done. thanks. btw fuck nuffnang.
