Not a beggar

When I was small, my mom would always tell me that a man should always learn to admit defeat and mistake, learn from these lessons, reinforce himself and come back to compete again. And so far, I believe that is a belief I put up as my #1 principle of life. She also reminded me to not beg for anything especially respect and sympathy from people if I ever get defeated, just to get my way through. This is because such way is not a passsage to victory as someone who begs does not earn and deserve it.

And funnily, when I flip the chinese daily that my dad reads everyday, I keep seeing a defeated person who defeats himself trying to give warning about the future of MCA and said he is just asking for a second chance. Well the chance comes every 3 years in MCA when all members will elect a new president and new line of excos will follow suit. Come on! He did what is wrong to his family and tarnished his own image.

Yes, the same story will go on...."it is my private life.....ppl shouldn't spy on me.....I am a normal guy.....blah blah blah....."

But to ordinary people like me, and especially those with family and kids (not like me), I don't think I am ready to have such a person as a party representative who I will vote for. All due to morality issue. A man, after a mistake, has to know how wrong is his doing, and amend it, and not just come out everyday asking (or begging) for second chance. Take the 3 years period to prove himself, earn back the respect he deserves by changing his attitude (and not appearing on the video again for the second time) and just work his way up again.

A person who sits high up shouldn't think that he will forever stays up there!
