Listen

There’s this day when I was in a bookstore, I saw a lil’ boy holding a book pulling his mother’ shirt and telling her: “mummy, read this, its funny..its funny..”

The mother was busy talking to the husband and neglected the boy and he went to his younger brother at around age 5 and show him: "read this, its funny.." and the younger brother also took a book and bring to show his mother like de older one did, the mother was stil busy talkin but this time she gave some responds at least : "oh ya..funny!" and the lil' brother walked away with a satisfied smile...

We always wish to have a pair of ears to listen to us, but we can hardly find it. Im sure all of us experienced this- when we tried to talk, mummy will stop us by sayin: "大人说话，小孩别插嘴!" (children keep quiet when adults are talkin!). Teachers never be the one we will ever share our problems with; friends- sometimes you haven even start telling yours, they already burst out theirs and maybe 10 times worst than your case....

day in day out, we learnt to keep everythin within ourselves, put on the big big smile on our face and hide the genuine feelin and thought we had inside us. Yet, while blamin peoples for not givin us anytime to listen to our problems did we actually give them a chance to talk about theirs as well? Have you ever turn the topic back to yourself when they are tryin to tell u their problems? We never really lend out a pair of ears to listen to people anymore, we are too busy..yea that's de excuse for everythin we fail to do.

No wonder peoples love to spend their time online these days; it doesnt matter if anyone listened, at least there's a chance to finish or complete what they wana said without interruption! Friends, lets listen...talk less. The whole point of sharing your problems with friends isnt to seek a solution..it's just for u to let out your feelin!

*I'm specially dedicating this post to the someone(yes it's you!) who r havin lotta problems and not willing to come to me! Tell and i'l just listen =)
