Yes. I’m one of the 56 out of 100 people who can read the above words. It’s amazing how our brain works. Yet, at most times, we fail to utilize the strength of our mind in the best possible manner. More often than not, we choose to think in a linear manner; without looking at all possible angles. We choose to think in a pessimistic manner; often dismissing revolutionary yet radical ideas, because we are terrified of changes, and we are afraid to venture into the unknowns. Well, my fellow humans; stand up and be counted! Be the change that you want to see in the world <Mahatma Gandhi >

You must be wondering why I am blogging about “Making Changes”. Well, the thing is, I’m surrounded by a bunch of outspoken people in my law school, which is not a bad thing, because you can always learn a thing or two from these people. What ticked me off was a few of them are what I would term as “serial complainer”, who criticsize everything about Malaysia.

Typical Malaysian. When would we ever learn to be thankful for what we have, and to strive to make things better if it is not good already, rather than mere trying to decipher the problems in mamak stalls.

Start the change in your own backyard now. That is why my friends and I are setting up a Rotaract Club in our college. No doubt, ATC is excellent academically, but we need an avenue for us to teach us something other than laws; i.e. good governance, citizenship, selflessness, leadership, and above all, to show that anyone is capable of making changes, provided that you have to take the lead and be the change that you want to see.

So people, start making changes today!
