Now, who's the tutor?

It shouldn't be any surprise at all that I, and the rest of us, learn from people around us.

Confucius said that "When people walk in the company of 3, at least one is my teacher."

Well, I never quite figured why the number "three", but what I think he is trying to get at is the principle of learning from any and everyone around us. It also means we have no right and in no position to despise anyone or being around us.

Well...and here I am...giving tuition to one of my most hardworking and enthusiastic (maybe not towards economics) students...and she taught me a thing or two. Or more. Haha...and I thought I was supposed to be the tutor?

Anyway, I mentioned this issue before. Of changing my image. Of becoming more concerned about the way I look...and most importantly how I feel about myself. At my current stage, I can't say I know how to look and feel good but I don't choose to do it. At least not in the way I perceive.

"We (I) only live once." Her words. Not unheard of before. Basically a call to treasure and make full use of life. And living is...taking daily risks. It is in the willingness to take the chance to get to our destinies that we truly live our lives in full.

My first risk? To get my hair done by a proper hairstylist? And attempt to maintain a...intended hairstyle?

Well, I'll give it a try, and start living.
