Don't want to be nice

Everyone thinks you're nice...

friendly...

kind...

even good.

They are not just being polite. You can't help but think that they just might be right. But you never aspired to be such things. You wanted to be -

Bold!

Strong!

Wild!... like Him.

"Have I got what it takes?" that's the question you're asking. That's the question every man asks. Everything you've ever done - every risk you've ever taken - was done with the intention to have an answer.

You long for the day when you know your God-like strength, courage, and wildness. To be called a warrior as He was known to the Israelites by the Red Sea. To stand up for something and fight to your last breath. Tell a man anything else, you kill the man.

You haven't found your answer. That's why you're still nice, friendly, and kind.

A very profound thought,Vic or should I call you Tin soldier here.:-)

I believe you are right.I guess that's why most managers are bold, and in a way,strong.They are better grounded in life than the people working under him/her because he's worked his way up and knows exatly what he wants in life.This is a bad example,though.I think I work too long hours.

Maybe to some of us,the answer we are looking for is already right in front of us.Our God-like strength is after all,being nice ,friendly and kind.I know that for a fact because that... is your strength,Tin Soldier.And that,makes you no less stronger than anyone.

exceptional people (or beings in this case) are what they are exceptional.. it's overated anyway all this hype about being special and leading.. if every1 is the queen bee, there's no worker bees to bring in the honey..oui? ur already the darnest nice, brainy guy a block away- that counts as being special!

《我們青春的三言兩語》

他跟她是隔壁班 每當他出現在她的面前 她都愛靜觀他的一舉一動 然後幻想兩個人在一起的畫面 中學時期過了 當然兩個人也沒在一起 是他因為害怕而錯過了 二十年後 他們重遇在他的工作室 成了要好的朋友 她問他有沒有喜歡的人 他愣住了...
