wise man

no man is old enough to know better -Holbrook Jackson-

so yea..in d midst of going crazy, being down and all melancholic, who would have thought that it would be a boy 5 years my junior who would actually tell me thgs that i as an older sister should be telling him.. funny that..

i have been a witness, over the past 15yrs at least, to somethg against what ppl believe in: that wisdom comes with age.

i'm not saying that those wise ppl are totally wrong..owh no..its just that we tend to forget that those younger than us do encounter things that we would never. i mean my sis and bro have gone through somethings that i never have encountered and would, incertain events, rather not encounter despite me being older. i mean i can even say that to some extent that i'm the more sheltered of the four..

since they have each had their own experiences, i've often enough find myself in their 'wise' council.. it was my sister that spoke to me when i doubted my dreams and it was my dearest brother that dragged me out of self doubt and being a misrable soul..the baby of the family? well he has always succeeded in making me laugh and also at raising my temper..ah well he is very much younger anyway. =)

so when i listened to ppl saying: aiya what do they know they r kids i feel like going up 2 them and saying eh listen and learn.. coz this is somethg my parents thaught me..how so? well my mom n dad asks of our opinions regarding stuff and also they make it a point 2 ask me when it comes to my younger siblings. it doesnt mean that you take d fella's buta buta..if u do den ur stupid la..like my mom always say: orang tu terjun bangunan u pun nak terjun ke? u listen and u weigh it and take certain stuff into consideration la..

we all have to realize that each person walk a slightly different path however similar it might seem and that along the way, that person sees and experiences different thgs. like how my success or failure would be different than yours..because there are so many other variable involved. like our dreams, surrounding, family and such. with so many variables involve, the outcome of it and what we learn from it all would differ slightly and it wouldnt kill us to acknowledge this.

this post does make it sound like i'm the less wise one amongst the siblings , huh?hey i did teach them stuff k..jus not those awe inspiring lifetime lessons but i taught them a few tricks nontheless. i am their big sis after all ;p

to my 3 musketeers, i'm missing our chat at d round table in d kitchen..
