"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."

hi amiga! wow! you have such a talented daughter! well i think, time will come that she will finally know what she ants, as long as you are supporting her, everything will be fine. we can force them to do things that they don't really want for it will not bring good result... i think, to admire other people and their achievements is okay and make them as our inspiration in achieving what we want is also good...but never to the extent that we become a copy cat... i mean, we can make other people as our guide and inspiration in pursuing our dreams, that's hy sometimes we idolized those great people, we can use their life & experiences as an inspiration and not necessarily to imitate them that will hide the real person in us... have a good day!

yah,that's what i wish my daughter had to think about,but it seems she's not interested to be someone else(hahaha...stage mother talaga). Anyway,i will always support her,whatever her decision or choices someday.And,i believe,she's still too young,and childlike thinking too(yan ang totoo..hayyyy) Thanks amiga

Hello cky, I will take my daughter as an example,she loves music a lot,she has the voice,but,she's doesn't want to enhance her qualities. She can play various musical instruments without professional studies(huh)she's gifted enough to learn all those by herself(piano,flute,guitar,sax and still exploring) She has good hands with sketching too,well,at least with this talent,she likes joining some contests(drawing) She was given the opportunity not everyone had,but she's not interested(i even end up like a stage mother). I keep reminding her how many people are struggling to reach their dreams and career,but she just ignore me(ugh...i wish i had all the talents she has..hehehe) Maybe she just needs sometime to realized what she really wants. I am just thinking,if she only wanted to be like someone in the future,then i guess it would be easier for her to know what she really wants. Up to now,she haven't made up her mind what course to take up next year(she's a graduating student...well,maybe due to her young age..still child like thinking,she's only 15). Well,i know it is better to be who we are and not pretending to be like someone,but sometimes...dreaming to be like someone else's wont do harm,as long as it is for the better...to bring out the much better person within us. thanks for your response dear...have a nice Monday

hello dpk, You are right dear,we don't need to imitate anybody else. We should always be the best of who we are. but,just like i wrote,i think is is partly wrong and partly right. Partly wrong in the sense that,we can make other people/someone's identity to give us inspiration to make a better us. Not to the extent of imitating the whole person,but following their footsteps on how they achieve what they achieve. Partly right in the sense that...what if after following their steps and strategy still we failed...then,it is really a waste of time and being ourself. Well,i think,it all depends on who will we imitate and how far we want to go in our lives. If we wants a simple life,let it be,if we want to become famous...then,maybe trying hard to become one and failed after is worth trying for...at least,it gives the worth and learn the lesson for not imitating other(hahaha) (it all depends on each individual) thanks for your response dear...you always comes out with great ideas on how to handle life..salute

HI [b]Jai! Many thanks for appreciating my response.[/b] I also agree with you that following foot steps of someone will lead us to imitate his/her actions/beliefs and deeds. We can always draw inspiration from others and can be a good person in society.

Hello bingchen, Of course,we don't need to suffer for a long time just to become someone we wanted to be.But,some people who aspires to be like someone else's makes them a better person. There were times that imitating other people will make us explore good qualities that we had,it just need us time to realize how much we can do. Thanks for your response and have a good day always
