One
of the things that really bothers me is the way people follow
trends just to be cool. I mean, what is “cool” anyway?
I think everyone should just be themselves, and not feel the
need to act or dress a certain way just because they see it
on television or in a magazine. That’s one of the reasons
I’m excited to work at MuchMusic: it’s a station
that really advocates media literacy and wants young viewers
to think critically about what they’re watching. Being
open-minded, aware, and true to yourself is the only real “cool”
as far as I’m concerned.
Another thing I really can’t stand is the way some people
dwell on the negative aspects of a situation. They find it easier
to focus on the negative, rather than look on the bright side.
I don’t understand it; do they enjoy all that negativity?
When I get around really pessimistic people, I begin to wonder
if they dream anymore. I wonder if they ever look at a bad situation
and imagine ways that they can turn it around for the better.
I guess for some people it is easier to write
“People
need to talk less and act more.”
something off and move on than it is to fix it and make it better.
I believe that if you’re unhappy with your current circumstances,
you should think of ways to make things better, rather than
sit back and complain. I just think that people really need
to be more positive and look for the good in the world. Those
who want to focus on the negative need to be reminded of how
much worse things could be and of how fortunate they are for
what they have.
Finally, a lot of people talk about how they want to do something
great or have an impact on society in a huge way, but they do
nothing about it. The world needs to start acting. Less talk,
more action. As I’ve said, I’m not into trends myself,
but I appreciate a thoughtful trend. If you’re going to
be trendy, why not start your own— like one that actually
helps others by encouraging and inspiring them.
