It's out; My Ego.

IF you are still studying in a local university/college campus, you might be in one of those fortunate ones to receive it. Nope, not a scholarship, loans or abundent parking spaces. I'm talking about free newspapers.

Yes, THE STAR has THE R.Age programme, where free newspapers is being distributed to universities and colleges around Klang Valley and KL. UTAR is being one of them, though i think it only apply to the PD Block. And yesterday's edition was special: it had a UTAR/TARC collaboration in it!

The team were given topics of various events relevant to UTAR/TARC. After choosing the topics and handing them in moments before dateline, our articles which covered 5 pages of THE R.Age was distributed to undergraduates all around. And of all the interesting articles being written, one had pictures of me splattered all over. It was my article of me, about a day in my live in UTAR.

Not only was the task challeging, but it got me up till the wee hours of the day, moments before deadline. Was it worth it? It was an experience, as if i was really working for the newspaper company; the real deal.

However, after reading the editted-from-1000-plus-words-to-500-words article, i realised i was being too egoistic. I wondered if i was writing for the challenge or the glamour and publicity i might get? As i'm thinking about it, i think i lean towards being proud and prideful. Perhaps it would be better if the subject was another person? Perhaps the piece would be better if i had a co-writer with me.

But it's already out. I can't stop the press, or tell everyone to stop reading it. It's like plucking feathers, scattering it all over the road and trying to pick them up one by one. It's hopeless. It's useless. If i wanted fame and recognition, i'd get a better chance by jumping of the UTAR Campus, or holding the lecturers and students hostage! HAHAHA!~

I pray in the future that i might not be too prideful in whatever i do. In whatever gifts and talents i have, i pray that i'll use them wisely and not for my self-seeking glory. For all glory goes to God and God alone. I need to be humble in whatever i do, for has God can give abundant gifts and talents, He can easily take them back as well.

I shouldn't be proud about it. But that doesn't mean i shouldn't be happy about it. From now on, i want to see how far i can go. How good am i, without boasting about it. People should see me for my actions, and not my self-praise and ego.


Love & Peace!~
