Having Fun
Some people come to work everyday with a straight face (that means an expressionless walking zombie…you know who you are), wearing the same coloured shirts (think staple but boring whites, blues and greys) . Worse, they try their best to appear funky and cool but fall flat on their face coz their core is one that spells the sentence “I AM A BORING PERSON”.
Yes, look at you. You are always so uptight. You never smile. Your body language gives you away. You can’t afford to lose. You can’t even take jokes. You withdraw into your own world when surprises are sprung on you. You would rather be alone.
I’m not going to waste time trying to get a boring loner to open up. That’s too much effort and time to invest on my part. I would rather focus my energies on having fun.
Having fun is not asking you to paint the town red or report to office in a pair of briefs. Having fun is knowing how to laugh at yourself, accept yourself for who you are and loving yourself more each day. It’s about doing new things, learning and growing at the same time. It’s about letting the childlike quality in you shine through. It’s about asking stupid questions at times and not being afraid to appear dumb. It’s about getting a new haircut style every month. It’s about doing silly things when you feel like it. It’s about living life the way you want it.
It’s important to learn to have fun. Life is short. Play hard. Coz you only live once. But some people don’t live by this mantra. ‘Tis sad.
