just talked to my mom and she told me about big brother who just got to beijing. being an individualistic, he immediately resented the idea of meeting up with our cous, who is currently studying at qing hua. (who happens to be 3 years younger than him too) and guess what? he realized that he had no clue about beijing, so he did eventually get in touch with culim and finally did get some insights about where to eat, where to shop, where to get good deals, etc.
ah. my bro. i think in a way, i resemble him a lot. i don't like seeking help when i am in trouble. if things don't turn out right eventually, that's the very last resort whence i'll helplessly ask for help. it's kinda stupid considering you've wasted so much energy and time being so individualistic and having it your way, and it doesn't end up as what you've expected.
i've learned to soften up a bit though. when people ask me whether i need their help, most of the time they do know that i've tried my very best and am still nowhere near the solution. being stubborn can become a hindrance, but i am learning to go easy on matters. i actually love senior year. all the people try to get productive and they're more focused on work. things get done quicker and all meetings do bear some progress on our projects.
anyway, i do hope bro will change his mindset. i think it's the family thing. mom's like that, though dad's not as prideful. hmm...we got heavy influence from mom then. coz i think bro's good in terms of business techniques, but he has a long way to go in terms of people-people relationship.
