DARING TO BE DIFFERENT

People in the world today tend to forget what is originality is. Everyone is so caught up with the media and fashion sense until they try to become other people. For instance, many people try to be "cool". Many people are familiar with this word. They try to be "hip hop", wear the pants till the kness, or wearing caps sideways or at the back, talking like a "walking radio" with the funny "hip hop" accent, and also the redundant hand movements while they are talking. You parents should know this better than any one in the world. You can see your child gradually change from an adorable,sweet, and unique child to someone else("cool" people). This phenomena can be seen especially in schools. Many kids try to be "cool". Colour their hair, buy funky school bags, wearing sneakers to school, and lots more. Why are they doing this???!!! It is because they are seeing many people doing that and they want to be in the "GANG". In school life, if you are not in the "GANG"(the cool group), then you are classified as a WIERDO, GEEK, NERD and many more which they can think about. However, they are not getting the point. People who are trying to be DIFFERENT are not the wierdos but YOU GUYS are the wierdos. You guys are trying to be someone else which is not yourselves. You guys are trying to COPY other people. That is so fake and lack of originality.

Personally, i try to be different as much as possible in a GOOD way. I'm not asking you guys to be completely DIFFERENT. Well, autism kids are different than us but we should not classify them as wierdos or "disgusting" creatures. They are so like us in every way. Only their brains are not functioning as well as ours. Yes, they are different, but we should never discriminate the CHILDREN of GOD. They are our brothers and sisters. Treat them with respect.



Give them the comfort and sense of belonging that they need as what Christ will do.





Give them a helping hand that they are all waiting for.





Another thing is that racism is still a big issue in this world. This race discriminate the other race. Another race discriminate another race and so on. Why should we discriminate or look down on other people based on their races?! Once again, they are all humans like us. Just that their skin tone is different. Black,brown, yellow, white etc are just colours. They don't mean anything. It is what is inside that person that counts.

Chinese people are great people. Loving, caring and humble.



And Indians are the same too. Loving and caring in the same time.



Caucasians are no worse than that. They are equally good as the chinese and the indians. They are no better and no worse than them. Everyone is the same. Look at their laughters. Why should there be discriminations?!




So therefore, i stress out again that we all should not hide in our safety "box" but to get out of it and be different. Different is unique and special. And being special is a great thing rather than being just like anyone else. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!!!

~~ GOD created us all differently, so why not we try to be different then try to be the same?!~~
