BE YOURSELF

swim against the waves...
go against the flow...

When I read this phrase on one of my friend's wall on Facebook, it catches my attention. It is very well said that I couldn't stop wondering what it would mean for him.

I commented :

very well said...

then he answered :

but do it in a subtle way.. not stepping on anyone's toes..
win-win situation for everyone..

i answered back :

never afraid to break the rules huh..

then he explained :

something like that..
but not really breaking the one's you already knew.
because there are some rules
that are not known to many and they do work.
makes your life even more happy. this is one of them.

i asked :

trying to make a difference? just like anyone else..

he just replied with :

yes ma'am...

Then it leaves a question on my mind. His answers were vague for me, though I understand his explanation. I just thought that, yeah, some people are really breaking the rules to make a difference. While some are making their own rules to leave a mark. I guess we really don't need to do those things after all. I believe that we are different and unique in our own special ways. Be yourself and that alone is being different, no extra efforts needed. Just a thought...
