life_style: It means that it's better to let go of what you cannot keep, to gain what you cannot bare to loose. For example, you have a prostitute and a GF. You let the prostitute go because you know you dnt love her and can't marry her. Therefore, by loosing the prostitute, you keep your long time GF that might eventually be your wife. You love your GF and can't bare to loose her. Another example: You're a not a fool if you run after your education instead of agreeing to be a married woman's bootycall |

Thanks Cadet, i really appriciate your contribution, i must confess, i have been battling with this statement for the past 1 week now, i guess that interpretation is okay for now, but if there is still any meaning, it will be highly welcome, tanks |

It has some very important points: 1. Never overestimate yourself: it's good to be confident, but it's stupid to be stubbornly conceited. Trying to keep something you can't just to prove yourself has nothing constructive. There is no progress because all the time, you'll have to start all over again to regain it. 2. What you can't maintain is not yours. Forget that one day that thing will eventually decide to recognize you as its owner because believe me everything has a natural inclination. Whenever it finds the original keeper, it's gone forever. 3. Don't think you'll be or be seen as a loser if you can't keep what people expect you to. They are exactly like you. They are also battling to hold something not theirs tight but they are either too stupid or too proud to let go. Don't follow the flock sheepishly. Be Different! 4. Don't be demoralized because nothing ever stays with you. Just like you have lost something to its original owner, yours shall also come your way some day. Don't be too desperate and settlle for what isn't meant for you because when you do, there will no longer be space for what is rightly yours. |

life_style: Isn't the statement rather too self explanatory & explicit even!? |
Re: Pls, Help Interpret This Statement: by lifestyle1(m): 3:00pm On May 14, 2008 |

michelin89: Nice interpretation. However, the statement in bold is excessively reactionary. What is the point of being different for no reason? The phrase "Be Different!" has no qualification and comes off as a command. |

RichyBlacK: Have you heard of exaltations? I don't think when xtians pray, they are commanding God but rather asking or exalting him! Exclamation mark means more than a simple order! |

from my own perspective, i see it as this: If you are a man, bread winner and you are going through a tough time, and you have to decide on what to keep and what to let go. It's okay for you to let go of your mercedes benz so that you can afford to pay your mortage which you really need (shelter for the family). It does not make you any less of a man. |
