You Were Born An Original, Don't Die A Copy

Have you ever heard of this sentences, "You Were Born An Original, Don't Die A Copy" by John Mason?
Basically it means that just be yourself, don't copy someone else.
Frankly speaking, I had lost my "originality" when I was trying to copy someone else work and assume it came from my own work.

This had happened to me when my cousin marks my 500+ words article about The Art of Start book by Guy Kawasaki.
Well, I do felt embarrass about it when I tried to explain more.
Anyway, I shall be grateful that I have a good cousin that had spend a lot of effort to help me to improve my English.

One important lesson that she told me was "The peer that you join will decide your future", which I felt quite true.
For instance, if you join a group of friend who is study hard, you will eventually become one; if you follow people that like to play games, you will become one of it; if you follow negative people, you will become one and same goes to other thing.

Honestly, I do admit it was my "own personal problem" that I want to go back to Malaysia as soon as possible because I was avoiding the problem to improve myself.
Besides, the definition of an introvert person is shy, reticent, typically self-centered person and he choose to not interact (anti social) with other people. (I'm felt struggle within myself about this issue)
Seriously it is so hard for me to change instantly as I was distracted by a lot of things that doesn't create value to my life, yet I still do it.

In fact, I did have a lot of task to do but I seems like acting that I had nothing much better to do.
For now, the task given was to rewrite the article, read the 7 new book before I go back to Malaysia.
Guess I need to delay my flight until this coming new year 2014 and hopefully my "homesick" illness will cure very soon. (cried)

Frankly speaking, I did understand the pro and cons for staying in UK.
If I really pay 100% effort my improve my English skill and personal development such as critical thinking, analytic skills, having integrity, it would surely impress my future employer as there is no need to worry for not having job.
Perhaps it was true that if you spend time on keep improving yourself, every other thing will come eventually.

On the other hand, sister do ask me to research about father's website and gave me the whole domain with hosting information. (I have no excuse to say that I'm free and keep need to move forward)
During the afternoon, it was my first time to see the Xbox 360 played by my cousin's children.
At night, I do enjoyed watching the Doctor Who drama series, which is a British science-fiction television programme about the adventures of a Time Lord, a time-travelling humanoid alien known as the Doctor.
The "Only Time" song by Enya certainly make my mind feel relaxed.

In conclusion, it is no use to dwell on the past and I need to face it with a more positive mindset as life still goes on no matter what happens.
