I recently got an offer to work at some place far away from my hometown, so right now I'm gon' be busier than before with all the works and stuff but before that I have to find a nice and suitable place for me to stay.
But I'm gon' talk about that in another post and right now I wanna share with you guys things that I've been realizing these days.
I don't know if it ever happened to y'all but it definitely happened to me most of the time. It goes like this, like when every time I did something or wanna do something, I get this words of discouragement from people around me.
So here are some examples... when I got straight A for my PMR my folks said "It was just your luck", I mean I know I work my ass off for that exam so it's unfair for me.
On another occasion I decided to told them (which I regret) that I've joined a singing competition and they were laughing and they were like "You ! Sing !", followed by another trail of laughter.
And then recently when I got a job offer they gave me this "You got offered, oh... I think you're the only person they interviewed that's why you got it", I was like ... speechless I guessed.
I got tons of other example but I guessed the above was enough, I think it's the Asian culture where discouragement is considered as motivation, I don't know, but of course I need some encouragement once in a while, don't you think so?

Hmm... I am in the same boat with you. I am living in discouragement. I look like a dumb and don't look competent at all. But all that are just because of my LOOK. There were days like nobody reward me when it was actually me behind all the achievements (in a group). And...even sa dpt anugerah dekan dulu teda org tau & susah org mau pcaya ni. Risau o sa, takut susah mo naik pangkat bila kerja nnt. Haha.
Joe, i think you should speak out your mind.
I am assuming that PERSON you were referring to was a family ? i am not sure. it's just an assumption.
maybe you could say
'why do u always look down on me? do u know how hard i worked to get this? do you not think that i should at least get a credit or CoNGRATULATIONS?"
and maybe u could add "so you just expect me to be an ordinary and boring guy ?? what would you say to me then if i become one of the kind ??"
the point is to speak what's on ur mind.
believe me, i speak from experience. and surprisingly, it worked.
Marly, I've known you personally and I always assumed you're the type of person that is likely to be excel in academic.
Anonymous, I don't really know how to speak out
hahaha, at least you already got a job! i'm jobless for 5 month!
well good luck job hunting, it's only been 5 months there's plenty of time
