"Don't judge a book by it's cover". This is the common quote we hear especially when we defend others imperfections. Just this afternoon in our R. E. class we were task to list the name of persons under the personality they belong. Everyone did that of course.
But to my surprise just when I thought I already know my self, I realized I do not really know my self.
"Some characteristics listed on the board are very impossible for me to have", I said to myself. But the flattering part is that those characteristics which I thought I don't have was possessed by me according to some of my classmates. There is this girl who hit the very soft part of my heart, basically because she described me as not a discriminating person which I thought is not true. But when she continued, I realized that though I'm not perfect I'm still considerate. And being described as humble, I am now challenged to live that life and be revered the right way. This situation did awaken me and instilled in me the thought that it's not because we carry ourselves and live our own life we know ourselves a hundred percent. There are some thing within us that we are not aware we have, this characteristics are only seen by the people around us and we may not be able to know that we possess those until they tell us. It was so flattering but challenging. By this I mean, that because of that event I am now summoned to be a better me. In other words, this served as an instrument to live my life the right way.
In conclusion, I can say that you're not out to please anybody but you'll be surprised when you will know that people feel blessed and fortunate because of your presence. Do not say that you are the worst person in the world, because despite imperfections, some people can appreciate the perfection you have and you do in your own pace. In other words, you can only know and measure yourself when people will give you the statistics and standards of measuring oneself.
