"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

1Malaysia~ common sense concept.. good reminder

..3, 2, 1~ Merdeka~ today 31st August Malaysia INDEPENDENCE day.. Recalling few years recently, looks like there have been many happenings.. looks like everybody have been extremely busy.. Many comments, voices, feedback, suggestions, critics can be listened as people speaking up (nicely or not so nicely) and in the meantime, people from many sides (big people and small people) explaining in dramatic stories, widespread rumors, understandable histories, and equal amount of personal dislike or like since people do has own thoughts (for self benefit or for nation) formed early in many years before.. undeniably also many with supportive evidences. Thus eventually, who-ever heard about might not instantly able to differentiate accurately true or not, right or not, believable or not.. Apparently there are endless stuffs of these kinds to be busy with by Malaysians and we don’t know how long it takes. Sooo, who will do, to fix, to correct, to solve it then? Everybody should do something right..
 
1Malaysia concept is a right concept introduced! Honestly, a common sense principle of a nation of Multi-cultural, which supposes every responsible Malaysians should have known, and have been practicing, nonetheless, the reminder by Prime Minister is at a right time I think. However, for many reasons, which closely related to what have been busy with, as well as unknown explanations that some people may give.. so people doubt about the common sense concept. Individuals don’t believe in the application part of the common sense concept.. why? (just because you don't..).
 
Regardless of people believe or not, will work or not, it is supposed to be like this anyway in the place we born, we live, we retire.. There will be time we find some people (out of ~25 millions Malaysia population perhaps) do not (do you?), but we do at least, so do it anyway~ You might think nobody starts it, but at least you do, and it starts from you. Because we simply don’t want the other way around in Malaysia.. never was.. never will..
