Assuming is Killing.

For being someone who has no passion writing in diary, I find it hard to actually write a blog. Do I really write what I feel or do I write according to what my blog visitors would prefer to read? Different people would definitely have different personalities and interest. Some might actually be interested in my writing while the others might feel the other way around. No hard feeling though, seriously ^^

But then again, reading something that is not in accordance to interest can possibly give negative impact to the readers. People tend to hold to their beliefs and blatantly disregard others opinion. Let's face the fact. When we read something that we don't agree with, our mind would quickly make assumptions about the writer. Well, at least I did. See the verb I used there, DID. I used to make assumptions (in worst case scenario, I laughed and criticized) about who the writer might be depending on what he or she wrote. Honestly, most teenagers (or in my case, a so-called young adult) do that. 

But that was a year ago. I am now an undergraduate student, pursuing my degree in English as Professional Communication in UiTM, Shah Alam. Not trying to be all academician and goad my lecturers for bonus mark but the courses here really help me to understand people better. I learnt that assumptions can kill. I now know that assuming can lead to something severe. We should not be ignorant and try to open up our mind a bit. I am now open to hear critics, comments and etc. Not to say that I will completely not be offended (that would make me less human, heartless you may say) but I will be positive enough to be polite and smile. Cool, huh?

This will end my entry for today. Let me share my new motto with you, awesome readers, "Before you assume, try this scientifically proven method called asking". 

Happy trying! :D
