This semester, especially the last few weeks, i realised that my perspective of things had been rather narrow. There were so many points to view a situation, a thing, and a person from.

The Judgement
I did mention before that i didn't like it when people judge, but i myself judge people. I judge not only myself, but also some people around me. I actually said things like "i don't like that person" when i didn't understand him/her that well yet. Something that someone told me kind of struck me: "But you hardly talk to one another!"

All along, i had thought i knew about those people i dislike and why i dislike them. But actually, people are far more complex than what they show to those they're not close to. They're, in fact, more complex than how best friends view them. Saying things like "don't like that person" when i didn't try to understand him/her better was really judgemental. I should look at things in a closer "distance" and from other perspectives.

The Big Picture
Recently my class did a debate. I was rather impressed by certain viewpoints the smarter classmates had. Things they said were very well-considered and weighed. They didn't look at things from just one point, they went and look at many many different things that are related. I, on the other hand, was too focused on one particular aspect of an issue. The big picture is always better. This probably applied in life, friendship, and other stuff as well.

The Realistic Side
I had always been worried and at times anxious about small things. But acceptance really make a big difference. One of my friend said that everyone is different; some can be more unreasonable or prefer different things. In the end, we just have to accept one another and accept that we may not like certain aspects of one another. This way of viewing things is realistic, and important for me as well.

The Positive Side
Still, to me, the most important is positive thinking.
