The meaning of courage
A few of my fellow creatives came and seek my advice on some work related issues. When I was sounding them out, I realize that people nowadays would prefer to sit in their comfort zone, meaning they are afraid to take a step to do something different as the fear of making a mistake is thereI was brought up in a society full of comformalities. There were “rules” from how you should make friends, meet you ideal partner, all the way to definition of a decent job.
I was facing juxtaposition back in my country whereby everything is so modernize; yet, it seems that we still embrace mindset from 30 years ago. A classic real life example is that my mum still thinks my job as a creative is not very “respectable”, and prefers me to be an accountant or sort. This would be “a decent job” in her perspective.
Well back then, I figured, maybe it was something to do with how our society was structure. But right now, I guess it’s up to individual to do what they feel it’s right, in every aspect of life. I guess as the saying goes, “It’s better to have tried than not.” The next time we want to make things happen, we need to tell ourselves to be bold and take a step, as there are always 2 sides to a coin.
