What should I be proud of my country?
I often wonder about this question.
Until about two months ago, I didn't know the answer. I then remembered last year when I visited Taiwan. There was this annoying salesgirl asked me a few questions.
She asked where am I from and I answered that I'm from Malaysia. And she was like, "Oh, Malaysia! That's a great country. So you know like, 3 languages? You know your national language, English and Chinese! That's so great!"
And then I think I answered, " Yeah, we know three languages."
And she continued chatting with me even though I wasn't in the mood of talking.
Anyway, I didn't really care about what she said to me until few months ago, when I suddenly remembered that my Moral teacher asked us what we are so proud of our country.
So I got the answer.
I am proud of my country's different cultures and religions.
Well, that's a typical answer. We all know that Malaysia has many religions.
But not many really appreciated the moment we are having right now. It's true that the politicians often quarrel over racial issues and other stupid stuffs. But the citizens managed to hold hands until today.
I'm just disappointed that some people nowadays don't love our country as much as last time.
Just ask yourself seriously, as in, ask your conscious mind that's resting at the back of your mind.

Are you willing to sacrifice for your country?
Honestly, I don't think I am ready to do that. Humans can be selfish after all. But all I know is that I do love my country although we have our ups and downs.
Well, I feel rather motivated today, even though I still procrastinate. I blog this because I love Mahatma Gandhi.
What should we do when our country is shaky?
Focus on our outcome.
