Yourself
Helmi shot me a good question yesterday.
Helmi: Fiz, if other bands wants you to join them, will you accept?Hafiz: Well, it depends.I explained to him, it's all about what the other party can give me. It all depends. I suddenly thought of Xabi Alonso leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid. Questions suddenly struck my mind. Why did he choose to go somewhere else instead of staying at Liverpool? Why did he sent a letter requesting to leave?
Again, it's all about what the other party can give you. In my opinion, he left because, look at Real Madrid, they bought Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and a few other great players. This has given Alonso a sense of thinking that, he could win and
achieve something with Real Madrid and not with Liverpool. That's life. It's all about the thinking. Our mind is a very powerful thing.
So I guess, same goes for what Helmi asked me yesterday. I can see that he's very serious about the band moving on but if I ever did get a better offer from other bands which are much more experienced, bands which can help me achieve what I want all this while,
why not?Then comes the phrase I came across a few days ago from Nazrul's blog. 'Selfishness is the key to success'. Is this true? It is true but somehow I feel that, it's only true to a certain extent. You definitely can't be selfish all the way. Selfishness is not what anyone wants to see in you.
Sometimes, even though you have great friends behind your backs, friends who are always with you, you still have to be selfish and not think about them at a point of time. Sometimes, you just have to go ahead with achieving your dreams because if you wait, you just won't achieve what you want. Am I right to say this?
Imagine you have to take an examination. Lets say it starts at 9am. Your friend tells you to wait for him. He/she has done so much for you, and sometimes, you feel bad if you can't even wait for that friend of yours. So you decided to wait. In the end, you were both late for the exams and lets say you can't even sit for it. I have a question to point out. Does this benefit you and is it for your own good?
Sometimes, you just have to go ahead without waiting and not letting anything stop you from getting what you want.
Back to Xabi Alonso's story, he still went ahead with the move to Real Madrid even though the manager had faith in him, even though his teammates persuaded him to stay. Persuasions are always hard to neglect. It somehow makes you
think twice. But again, you have to think. Does it benefit you and is it for your own good?
I take Xabi Alonso's transfer saga in football as an example. It's not for any purposes to hurt anyone's feelings nor for the media to take this as an explanation why he left Liverpool.
So to the band, what I felt so far, and what I got so far, it hasn't brought me anywhere.
If it's time to
move on,
I shall.
You choose what you want ..
