When you are given a task, its either you really take it seriously or, you can’t help but take some time. You take some time meaning, you don’t like it, you refuse to like it, or you are too lazy to do it. It’s unavoidable to feel like this at times. Especially you feel that it’s not your thing. Some things are seen as unimportant but in truth, it is important and it would make you proud when the end comes.
These tasks could be similar to everyday problems that we undergo and encounter. These problems are sometimes hard to resolve. As my chemistry teacher said a while ago, sometimes, “…the problem with the problem is understanding the problem.”
There are times that we let our mouth talk and our hearts shut. The words that come out in our mouth are the easiest thing to fool by the ‘dark’ side of our mind. Because of our anger or frustration, we forget to tolerate and think right. We forget to look at the other side. And perhaps to be able to reach that side, we must take the most boring, hard, and the most stupid way. Nevertheless, it's why we often fail to reach that side. But if we just give the track a chance, maybe it is not that bad – though the way is dreadful, at least the end is not.
We also forget to be open-minded at times. I remember a quote that I have read last night, “There are only two sides of an answer – my side and the wrong side”
The quote is right. But it’s an ironic right.
It’s like having a high self esteem that you only think that you’re the only one who is right, not letting any opinion, any criticism come and spank your face with reality.
The only time you will move, it’s either you (1)humiliate yourself; (2)you feel that you are being frustrating to others, (3)you were shouted or scold by someone or (4)simply, you learn to realize.
Frankly, it’s hard to realize without something or someone to make you realize that you are not doing the task.
Even if that task is for you yourself to be responsible. If you see that you fail, and you realize that you always fail, that’s the time you will move. You will regret the past that you should have taken tasks and works seriously. Maybe not that serious, but still, accomplishing something in a fun and smart way.
All in all, I would just like to say that let’s give that boring, stupid and hard way a chance. Whatever the work or task is, let’s give it a shot. Even if you don’t really get what you want in the end, as long as you did it.
But what’s starting something without getting what you want?
So it’s really better to DO EVERYTHING you can and that’s the only time that you can say that you win, even if you really didn’t.

(This post was supposed to be yesterday, but my brother removed Internet Explorer and exchanged it with Netscape. Although I do not really hate Netscape, in fact I like it, it's because Blogger and other sites seem to be distorted. I don't know what the problem is. But hopefully he could fix it and bring I.E. back. hehe.)
