Someone

What would you think when a big problem that isn’t related to you but affects you happens? I’ll tell you what most people will hope for. Most people will hope for “someone” to do something. Just imagine everyone in the world having the same idea of “someone” will end up doing something. Nothing will happen, ever.

It’s a topic I want to write for a very long time but didn’t have inspiration but recently I’m inspired by a blog post from a friend of mine, Clayton Tan Ju Chiae. In his blog post, http://www.juchiaetan.com/?p=215 he mentions a few selfless people coming of their cars to direct traffic when a massive jam was caused by faulty traffic lights and many impatient selfish drivers when most people are just sitting back in their car hoping for these selfless “someones” to appear.

At many times, we ourselves can be the “someone” that we’re hoping for. Stop thinking about what other people might do. When there’s a problem, step up and do something yourself. Next time when you encounter any problem, don’t think about what “someone” could do but instead think what you can do yourself.

Don’t hope for a someone, be the someone
