there are times when thick is good! (even better than thin)
Contrary to what seems to be the crazy fad ongoing right now, thick is actually good! Fine! I can live with the thin cellphones, models, pizzas, tvs, laptops, etc. They are all pretty good and I like them all thin. However, thick seems to be another way to go in some cases (i.e. wallets, books, sandwiches, coats, skin, etc.). And yes, you read it correctly! It is at times good to be thick-skinned.
On several occasions, people especially us Filipinos tend to be mahiyain (Please don't lecture me over making generalized statements!). We are prone to feeling shy when we are alone and we are not comfortable in other people's company. Hence, neophytes and newcomers have a tendency to become pushovers because they would like to jive with other people. Gusto natin makisama sa ibang tao. However, there are occasions when you just have to put your foot down and say, 'Oh no! You can't do that to me. Nor can you treat me that way. I won't be swayed; this is my stand!' Why do I say this? Because there are occasions, when we are swayed regardless of intention. If we are being influenced for the better then excellent! Let us be swayed and changed. However, when the people around us are influencing us for the worse, you gotta stay firm in your principles baby! Strengthen your stance and don't let nobody destroy you. There are times when people act like rust.. They put their residue in you and they destroy you from within. They plant ideas in your mind hoping that it will be enough to make you vulnerable and destroy you.
I am sorry. This bamboo is fully grown. Though it wiggles; it fights for its place because its roots are firm-planted in the ground. This bamboo can't be pushed!
