dream on

you can tell it's flu season again when you hear people around you start coughing and sneezing, exactly what's happening around me right now
office hasn't been full for a single day since i first joined in, there'll be at least one person on medical leave everyday, and more than one person at home has fallen sick, and i practically interact with them day and night....LOL
so i was going down to pharmacy with carly to buy more flu medicine when i heard a female voice singing "sorry seems to be the hardest word". You can easily tell the singing was not the type that people would stop and enjoy the full entire performance. I'm quite sensitive to music, hence was feeling a little annoyed listening to that. She's blind, sitting along the street alone, no fan, no air cond, wonder how's she gonna solve the toilet problem, and, on one hand she was holding the microphone, the other was touching some encryption on a paper, apparently those which help them to read
not until moments ago that i felt ashamed to have that thought of feeling annoyed by the singing from the blind lady
i believe she's from some kinda organization that helps them to at least earn a living as i've seen people sending them to streets, helping them to set up and let them perform....
and yet they can survive in this tough environment....
i thought of a lot among us, the new generation, who have good results, degree from prestigious degree, financial support from parents till the day we start work, how often do you hear "i hate going to work everyday!", "i hate what i'm doing now!", "it kills me to go to repeat the same thing everyday!", "i can't wait to escape from hell!" "this is not what i wanna do" and this list goes on...
by saying that i'm not trying to show myself a saint, i do have complaints, both silent and voiced....
it's true that we have the qualification to dream big, to imagine doing incredible and extraordinary stuff one day, but dreaming of flying without wings and refusing to endure the pain during initial stages is not gonna bring us anywhere
