willpower

"It is not because things are different that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."

"What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter."

and so i shall test the limits of my willpower.. in keeping my emotions in check ie not to be overly pessimistic, my spending in check, my "irritability" in check,

i guess by now some will know what i say

eg
last week was out with friends for Spider Lilies when we encountered this group of rowdy "kids" whom i reckon to be around 14 years of age.
i would shake my head disapproving and before i could even open my mouth to utter something
my friend commented for me..
"kids nowadays"
hahahahhaha

they were teasing each other so loudly and they were ROWDY and cursing like its the norm to do so ..
Is it the norm now?
Maybe i am in the wrong era
i do not believe cursing is "cool" nor do getting too intimate with guy friends like piggybacking or grabbing them and hugging their arms is cool too
it kinda bust your image..

and yes
they DO NOT bother me
but i still got irritated
