Effects of Labelling

I was four years old when I first starting attending piano lessons... and I must say... how much I hated it... I hated piano lessons.. Simply because I don't like to play the piano... even observing the most talented pianist doesn't inspire me.. It's just isn't my cup of tea..

Nonetheless, playing the piano has taught me many things.. For one, unlike many things in life.. such as typing... when all you have to do is type the keys in sequence... playing the piano is very different... You need the right timing.. you cannot simply play all the keys at once... you have to wait for the precise moment to press the right key.. much like those arcade Dance dance revolution machines.. You need the right timing...

The effects of labelling...

Sometimes... I feel alot like a defective factory outlet Adidias Jersey.... People pick such jerseys out for ridiculously low prices.. they are told that these jerseys are defective.. but they just can't identify the flaw.. Nonetheless... it was cheap and labelled defective.. thus they reserve the jersey for the most informal of occasions.. and whenever they wear that jersey they feel incredibly self conscious..

Of course there are people who basically enjoy the fact that they got a good deal and wear that jersey proudly.. but some people are like the former... highly suspicious of that jersey.. worried and waiting for the time the jersey bites back and says "Told ya I am defective. I have always been.. Just that you were so stupid you never could find my flaw."

I am looking for all those font supporters of factory outlet Jerseys to be my friends.. =) I need people who understand the concept of grace.. that not all good things in life have to be earned.. and that the best things in life are given freely.. like your parent's love... God's love for you... nature's beauty... your health... all these are given to you freely...

Of course.. that doesn't mean you have to take these things for granted... just enjoy them and love them for their worth.. and not devalue them simply because you never had to work for them... Don't wait till you have lost them.. or are at the verge of losing them before you realise that its time to treasure them.. Do it NOW!

PS. I feel especially loved when I recieve presents!!! (hint hint)
