Royal Birthdays

printf(“HELLO WORLD, THIS IS MY 40TH ARTICLE!”)


HELLO WORLD, THIS IS MY 40TH ARTICLE!

The Royals have been around for so long; they have done so much, both positive and negative. We humans take time to evolve, but eventually, we would always will someday.  From the tribal leaders to the Kings and the Queens to the Presidents and the Prime Ministers, and that won’t be it; soon, when it’s time for the evolution, we will then evolve. They are the big shots who were involved in the making of so many things that have happened, to always having their names on the history book. Some were humble yet strong and mighty, while some were cruel and inevitably evil that they did not even make it to the book. Some brought peace while the others went to wars, some were different and was rewarded with honour and fame throughout their lives. Each and everyone of them were and are different, that’s why we all are changing and have never stopped looking for more. They were always considered as strong people, if not physically, then mentally, or sometimes; both! They are always on top of everyone, and intentionally made the top to help out and fix everything that are meant to be fixed.

We are meant to respect them for what they’ve done for the country you’re living in; and in some rare cases, the world you’re living in. Some were not that good, didn’t complete their jobs well and was eliminated, because wearing the crown was not meant to be all sweet and fun. When they are good enough to wear that crown on your head, they have to be perfect in whatever they are doing, their plans and techniques on making their country better and better. They have to have the feeling of ‘being a King or Queen’, then that’s when everything goes the rite way. These guys didn’t have the ‘to mess up’ option in their mindset, that’s one of the few things they just cannot afford to do at all. Only few had egos, like a very strong and positive one, the ego that made people respect and love them, instead of the hatred and being extremely scared of them. They were treated like Gods and Goddess, the people knew what they had to do and returned the favors back pretty well.

It’s the Royal Birthday, the whole country deserves a day off and they do. I don’t think anyone would dare to disrespect or violate the rules and come on… why would anyone do that? It’s a holiday! It would be a great holiday for all, sometimes the holiday would eat up the whole week and that doesn’t happen that often; but when it does, Phnom Penh will be emptied and everyone will be on their way out to provinces.

No one really knows what happens after the usual celebration when see on the TV every year, we just never know what happened behind the closed doors. To be honest, I really think the royalties are just regular people, they are just like us; it’s just that they have a heavier responsibility and definitely a better sense of what they are doing. Although we don’t really know whether they would just jump straight into their work rite after the celebration ends or just hanging there having fun and eating and partying, in either ways, they’re both good.

We must carry on this holiday, not just because it has to be carried on, but also for the sake of the advantages both sides will be gaining from. Having a King is already something rare to have these days, we must respect that fact and the tradition and culture that goes behind it.  We, the people, the citizens of Cambodia, are the small particles of unity. And he, the majesty, is the symbol of unity, he united the whole nation and will keep it that way as long as possible.

There’s more definitions and examples to the word ‘King’, then the King himself. The word ‘King’, can most of the time, refer to a certain person whose personality is strong and solid in a way that makes that person hard to be hated. That person does not use that personality for just specific reasons, that personality defines that person, and he/she breaths that attitude. A person that can be labeled as a ‘King’ isn’t just everyone, you have to earn that label, and the requirements are there to trip you on the way. Brave, confident, outspoken, charismatically explicit, in my opinion, with those qualities not being “too much”, you’re good to go.

Mac: An Ego

I got a Macbook Pro from a friend of mine and he loved it, even though it is a  secondhand, but it looks fresh as new. If you ever get your hand on a Macbook; use it wisely.

What’s important is not just the product, in fact, real users don’t focus on the machine itself; they focus more on how the machine was made to have this kind of reputation and great ego in itself. I mean it’s obvious that the machine is very powerful and capable to do ‘more’, and that’s also one of the reasons why people like it. I’m no technician, but in my opinion, I think it wasn’t made to just suit one type of user; it was made to suit everyone with any kind of needs.

No offense at all to the users that are using just for the sake of owning one, I respect, but not as much as the ones that would wholeheartedly use and respect their own Macs. I would consider myself as one of the true users when I feel like I’ve given enough respect and care towards mine, but until then, I’m going to treasure this Macbook in a way which it should be treated.

I’d like to say that Jobs has done his job well and this job he’s achieved will stay with us for a very long time. To make something which will remain as a part of someone’s lives is not just an everyday thing, it’s never impossible, but to be honest, I doubt there are many out there doing what he’s done to us. Most of us don’t know or just have no clue that this is not just a laptop, if you’re the true user and believer of Macbook, it’s one of those things that will stay with you for a very long time. It’s something special, something you care for and will do anything to keep it safe and sound.

Let’s talk about the man who was behind the success of the whole company, Steve Jobs. According to so many sources, his interviews, his Wikipedia, his articles, and recently, his movie; it clearly showed that he was a hardworking man, and a very loyal servant to his company. He was a true believer, he believed in everything he was doing and always proud of what he has done, he did everything wholeheartedly. Two or three paragraph won’t describe him, yeah, he’s one of those guys; you have to write a book about him to cover like fifty percent of what he’s done and doing, not a sentence or an article. People might not realize it or they have but wouldn’t agree with it, but having a book written about you isn’t a daily thing someone would do to you, so that’s somewhat an achievement that would ONLY come to you when you earn it.

Guys like Steve Jobs, you just gotta respect him and his products too, because I bet that everything came from his heart. He made Apple to get him money, but that was not just it, he had so many things to do in order to make that happen and it had happened; the legacy will remain where it shall be and it will never lose its value. And one more important quality he had, it was his ego, his positive and ambitious ego, that quality can make or break, Jobs’ was in Jobs control, and as a result, he made everything.

He took a bite of that Apple, and everything else, they say, were all history and innovation.
