Some thoughts.

Hello people!

It has been a VERY long time since I have posted something.

So I am sure everyone will be looking forward to my posts.
So, here I am. =D

JUST JOKING!

Well, just here to share an interesting moral/ethical dilemma with you.

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,
when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the
bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be
one passenger in your car?

Think before you read on, because your answer speaks a lot about your character and your attitude in your own responsibility to others.

1. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus, you should save her first.
2. Or you could take the old friend because he has saved your life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
3. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

This was told to me by another friend of mine, and I chose the first option.

But its not even close to the perfect answer.

You should give the car keys to your old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. Then, you would stay behind, and wait for the bus with the partner of your dreams.

Missed that out right? Ha! I knew it.

There are so many things in Life which we, as young people, are missing out now. All around us, poeple are needing help, but we often turn a blind eye towards them. Your excuse? "I have no time!"

Kindness begets kindness. Unkindness begets unkindness. And an act of helping others will definitely lift your soul to a whole new level. Nope, this is not a sharing about Music-making, but a sharing on Empathy: how you treat to others just because you want to.

I feel that there has been too much emphasis on Music-making in CHSSB. Although that is excellent, I felt that the "brotherhood" between members have disappeared. You only care about what will benefit you.

That may not true for everyone, but it certainly is for most. (Not just CHSSB)

So, please, I urge everyone of you to look around you and ACT. There is no need to hesitate, no need to deliberate and no need to consider when you see someone in need. If you see your seniors struggling, a word of concern is enough to keep them on track. If you see your juniors discouraged, a small word encouragement is enough to fuel their spirits. We ARE One Band, One Sound, and One Brotherhood.

How can there be One Band without One Sound, and how can there be One Sound without One Brotherhood? And being emphatatic, and thinking a bit out of box, is just what you need to achieve what CHSSB has been trying to achieve for the past few years.

Most importantly, it is important to dare to try. Who cares if you fail? Only you band-mates will care for the best for you; by encouraging and helping you to solve your mistakes.

Anyone can do it, its just a matter of how. Afterall, all of these are intrinsic, right?
