Compromise Damn it!

People come and go everyday saying stuff about how they dreamed to better but there’s always something blocking their way to achieving it. No matter what they say, it'll always have more or less the same message "I'm not good enough" or "It's not my fault" or "If only I had a chance". All I have to say to you, COMPROMISE

Fact is, people tend to want something they can't have. I'm not saying you can never have it, you're just not ready for it yet. Believe me, you'll never be not good enough for something. You just haven't found something you're awesome at. There are a million different things to do out there, I'm sure you'll find one thing you're awesome at :)

Saying it's not your fault - all you're doing is denying what you did. Well maybe you're not a hundred percent guilty on whatever it is you're accused of, but think back, are you a hundred percent innocent? The reason I say this is because when someone accuse you of something, the person must have suspected you for something. Someway, somehow you did something to put yourself into trouble. If you honestly think you’re innocent, fight for your right. Otherwise, accept the fact that you did something and now you have to pay for it. And to those thinking of blaming someone, take a chill pill. Relax, think for a while. Has this person really done anything bad? Try to put yourself in their perspective first, that way when you do blame that person, at least you have a strong reason to back you up.

In this life, chances are everywhere. Anything can be a stepping stone for something bigger. You just have to put your mind into it. Focus on what you want and how you want to get it. Once you've got that through, I'm sure you can make any simple nothing to be something awesome. Cause let's face it, most of the awesome stuff in this world is something we would not think of investing on because it didn't seem so important at that time. Take drinking straws for example, before it's time, straws didn't even make their way to our minds at all. At that time, we take our drinks like nature intended it to be drunk. But now, some genius defeated the laws of physics and created this, this eighth wonder of the world: the drinking straw. It's amazing how that dude figured out a way to make water flow into our thirsty throats using no effort whatsoever. Kudos to you Straw Man :D

All I'm saying is, if you learn to compromise in life, good things will come to you. And even in love, people always dream of the perfect someone (oh don't you deny it) chances are, you won't get this fellow in your life. So what to do? Go for the next best thing. Yes the person’s not really perfect, but neither are you. Sorry to say, but if you don't compromise soon, you'll stay single forever. Best thing to do, revisit your fantasy dream boy/girl and determine which is realistic and which should just remain as a fantasy. Once you've minimized down your fantasy part of that lucky person, see if you know someone that fits (if not perfectly, close to it) your criteria. If you do find the person, Go! Take a chance on that person :)you have my blessings

Here's a scenario for you:
A dude sends his five year old car to a workshop so that some repair work and pimping out can be done. At first he felt like selling the car, but after his son begs him not to, he just had to send the car. So after talking to the mechanic, he promised to have the car ready in a week's time. The dude waited, for seven days he did. He was so excited, oh how he imagined the day when he will once again see the car he fell in love with five years ago. Just then, he received a call, it was the mechanic requesting for an extra two days to have the rims done. The dude was quite disappointed but what can he do, he had to face the problem and give the man an extra two days. Two days has passed, and a few events had to be canceled. The dude can't wait to get his car. Just as he thought everything went well, a phone call was received. Again, it was the mechanic, this time asking for an extra one day due to a setback that had happened. The dude got furious, he can't go on like this, it's his car and he wants it now, so he yelled at the mechanic and said bad stuff about him. The mechanic kept quiet. He didn't want to argue. He simply accepted the criticism and politely apologizes. The dude was still not satisfied, he ended the call and waited impatiently for twenty four hours to pass. The next morning, he received a phone call from the man. The car is done. The dude didn't seem too happy about it, he was still furious. He told the mechanic to send the car to the dude's house personally and make him take a cab afterwards, with the intention to take revenge on the frustration this dude's been going through. Thirty minutes has passed, and there it is. His shiny new pimped out golden car has arrived. He could not believe his eyes, it's even better than the car used to be five years ago. He was so happy, it was enough to bring him to tears. The man he cursed and insulted took care of his baby and made it beautiful again. It was perfect, flawless, and all the problems he had before was gone. The dude is once again, in love. He looked at the mechanic with a smile on his face and a stream of tears hanging from his upper lip, he said "Thank you" while approaching the man to hug him. He cried tears of joy on the man's right shoulder and said "I'm sorry for the things I said yesterday" the mechanic said nothing but just gave the poor man a pat on his shoulder. The dude then personally drove the mechanic back to his workshop and gave him a generous amount of money as tip. The dude then came home smiling, thinking about what had happened =)

Like the two men above, learn to compromise with one another and you'll see things from a different perspective. Like the dude who has missed out a lot because of the mechanic. Well the dude shouldn't have requested so many things to be done on the car at once if he depended on that car so much. Or like the mechanic who should've kept his promises. To me, there's no wrong, there's no right. It's just what happened, and how you deal with it. They both have done a good job at letting the customer know what's up and letting the mechanic do his job with the time that he needs. And I think they handled it well. Yes it's a true story.

Simply said, Compromise Damn it! :D
