second best

have u ever thought about getting anything second best?

have we ever opted for second best , for not being able to obtain the best?

is second best really okay, or should we actually wait for the best to come along the way?

and how can we tell that the best would eventually come?

have u ever thought of this?

at times we are living up to whatever is second best for us.

do we care?

are we actually bothered about being or getting the best?

or basically it's merely our 'wants'., and not much of a 'need'?

is second best considered good enough, but if it's the best that means you got more than enough?

and the best for me, could be the second best for someone else. and vice versa.

perhaps i couldn't be the best. but i wouldn't want to be second best.

but why not? i can't explain. am just being human. we always 'want' the best and to be the best.

being the best tu cam best but how do you know that you are the best? could it be that you are the best to that someone tapi u just don't know it. even if he says you are the best will u believe it? hmmm....is there a score to see if u are the best? what do u think?

thinkerbell, the best is to do things at your best. to be at your best. so you can feel the best.

being the best to someone means like u r of his/her expectations or beyond.

but how bout being the best for yourself? like u said, how would u know.

but then again, u would know what u wana be. u would know what level of success u wana achieve. u do ur own benchmarking.

decision is in our hands, innit.

being the best can be very subjective. back in school, it was more of a result. or in the office, it'd be ur performance indicator.

but for oneself, hmm it has to be ur own mark.
wat do u think ina? if u were the best for that 'someone special', so why is that 'someone special' takes your feelings for granted? hasnt 'that person' makes u feel second best?

frankly speaking, i am tired of trying to be the best since DPA. we thought that we made our best effort to do something, but yet nobody recognize it. instead, some other people will get recognition despite the fact that they are not that good. sigh.

so, ok gak ape ;)

second best, well..spectra is second best coz i know i may not afford celica. arena green is second best coz i know i definitely can't afford opal damansara. so, to really have the best in everything we must know our limits and capabilities...

whatever it is, second best can be the best if we make it to be the best...(berapa banyak best daa..)

ina, love would always makes us do silly things, and that includes forgiving horrible mistakes.

dont u think that u deserve better?

owh ina, i may give u all the spirit u might need now, but am afraid love would do the same thing to me too.

why go to bali when u would know u'd hurt urself. some ppl finds excitement in seeing others feeling hurt.

i dunno la ina. cakap berbakul pon tak guna. someday woman, i'll see u and give u one good smack. hahah.

all for not listening to me and ca. :P

zaha, i know what u mean.

my olympus myu is 2nd best to sony's T30.

my myvi is 2nd best to a 1990's 3 series BMW.

my nokia 6680 is 2nd best to a N73.

my office is 2nd best to a place in Wisma Putra.

my baju kurung nenek is always 2nd best to a Rizalman's.

but i opted for them anyway. coz the best is in me. and not those material. ;)

(walhal sebenonye sengkek.make the best of what we have ;) hahah)

I am probably the least 'best' person to say this... but...
if you feel (with all your heart) like you've made the right choice, and you have faith and trust... then by my standards (no matter how mediocre) you found the best.

thinker bell said...

raja : owh raja, i couldnt agree more. like i said before, its us who set the standards.

zaha : keta tu, kalo dah spectra, terjungkit camana pon, spectra gak. LOL. imagine this : u r gonna marry bed after all, so let bed be bed, u cant get a pamela anderson out of her, betul tak? so love something as it is la zaha oi. huhuh..

ponder ppl, ponder.
