INcomplete CAKE
Imagine this
It's your birthday, your friends prepared the greatest surprise party for you
you and your friends are having the best time
you are happy for having all this and secretly wonder how the cake will be?
one of your friend told you to close your eyes because it's the time to get the cake and they want you to be surprised
you close your eyes, they turned off the light and start to sing "happy birthday"
"i bet it's chocolate with fruit all over, delicious, tasteful, ... etc"
you open your eyes anxiously to see your cake
and here's your cake as you expected (chocolate with lot of fruit on)
BUT
BUT
missing a slice
your birthday cake is incomplete
they are still singing and you don't hear them anymore
you are talking to yourself (who ate my cake?)
who did that? who ate my cake?
the light is on again
instead of thanking your friends, you kept asking: who ate my cake?
one of your friend: no one, it's the only cake available now
in other word, this is your cake, new .. chocolate .. fruity BUT incomplete
so you've become very angry and wonder: why me? every one else had a complete cake? why am i the only one to get the incomplete cake?
and again your friends told you: we've search in every place, there are no complete cakes anymore, what's available is the INCOMPLETE
would you accept that?
would you accept 75% of a cake?
it's become a pattern lately in my life: the 75% satisfaction
nothing is complete, nothing is perfect
well let us take it to the real world: is 75% enough to accept a new job, love, friend, .... whatever
???????????????
of course nothing or no one is perfect, BUT
how much missing parts are you willing to accept, and be content with?
you can accept a new device with less features then what you wanted but can you accept a new job with less benefits?
in such situation, people used to say: life is sucks
BUT this is totally wrong
because life isn't an entity or person who can act, talk, do, ... etc
life is just a word used to describe the ongoing process of night and day
life isn't to blame because life is just a word
same concept is valid for fate or destiny
because they are just words to describe the unknown for us
they are not persons who are acting
the honest truth is our lives are in ALMIGHTY GOD's hands
so when we face some problems or face a hard times is just because sometimes God permit that,
having the 75% of everything is very disappointing
GOD please give me the 100% not the 75%
the thing is: i want the 100% of every thing BUT i'm ready for it?
is the 75% of everything the right option for me according to my skills, personality, ....?
how to judge it?
am i 75% good or 100% good?
how anyone can be 75% satisfied all the time? when to say 75% is enough and when to say it should be 100%?
what do you think?

i'll start commenting with ur last question:
when to say 75% is enough and when to say it should be 100%?
I believe it directly refers to one's personality. Some ppl will b more than satisfied with an over satisfactory percentage like the 60 or 70%, thinking that they can't do better either bcoz of their (skills, their ability 2 learn or adjust 2 changes, opportunities they have been offered, etc..) If we started 2 create the excuses we won't get ever enough.
On the other had we would find others who seek perfection and have good potentials 2 aim 4 the best, not by sitting and pitying themselves and thinking about how unlucky they are compared 2 others, but by working hard 2 develop themselves. This is the kind of person who deserves the 100 %.
Moreover I think the 100% is absolutely relative, meaning the achievements I may find perfect according to my abilities and point of view others may consider less than acceptable. It’s a matter of inner acceptance and satisfaction!
At last I just wanna highlight that every1 seeks the 100 % but not every1 deserves it.
U know what, life is not always fair; it won't give u anything easily unless u have been fighting for.
So work hard then u'll deserve 110 %
to the point
i love this post :D a lot :D
