Assalamualaikum...Today, after work, i spent my time with my good friend Mullah -who also happened to be co-writer in this blog. As usual, we had a very long and serious discussion about many things, and today was no exception. From ex-minister Chua Soi Lek's disgusting antic to what happened recently among us and our friends, from our hope and dream of this new 2008 to the philosophy of life itself, we talked freely and without reserve to each other.
And that is when a quote from my favorite movie of 2007, Transformers; came out and for a few seconds halt the flow of our conversation.
'There is more to human then meets the eye'
I remember feeling very good about it when i repeated the words in my mind. The quote above was being said by Optimus Prime (leader of the autobots) in a monologue at the end of the movie. The full quote is like this:
"For now, the Decepticon legions are vanguished. And fate has yielded its reward- A new world to call home. We live amongst its people now, hiding in plain site...But watching over them in secret. Waiting. Protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage. And though we are worlds apart, like us, there is more to them then meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime. And I send this message to any Autobots seeking refuge amongst the stars. You are not alone. We are here. We are waiting."
Okay now, since we are not discussing about the movie (oh, i would love to... someday), i want to shift your focus back the single quote in bold above. I remember saying this quote to emphasize something about our self confidence. And then when i see it from another angle, i also can relate it to other important element, respect...
My fellow friend, what i'm trying to say here is: we have to believe there are more inside us than what people can see us from the outside. Put in your mind that whatever the perception, and whatever it is that you think people see about you, they only see a tip of an iceberg, which is just a scratch of what's really hidden. Which is thousand times bigger and greater than maybe even you can't imagine. All you have to do is go find your strength and potential! Unleash it...!! And you will find a new and improved you, full of self-confidence the next time you look in the mirror!
On the other hand, from a totally opposite of view, we must never forget this one thing.. Respect people of whoever they really are! Oh, i can't even stress how important respect is to other people around us... and to ourselves..! First, we can only gain respect by respecting others first, and second, which is the focus tonight, we are actually helping others by giving them 'respect'! Because it's like giving them signal to explore themselves and well... unleash their hidden potential!
Just remember;
'There is more to a person then meets the eye'
