I think we're all familiar with the sentences, "somebody do this", "somebody help me get that", "can someone help me with this?", "somebody should do that".
But have you guys ever wondered, who that "somebody" is? If everyone just goes, "somebody,somebody,somebody" and pray that someone does something, nothing would ever be done. Before you beckon "somebody", do you ever think that maybe, you can do those task by yourself? Maybe you can choose to put in that little effort to finish what you want "somebody" to do? Maybe, before you summon "somebody" to help you, shouldn't you try to help yourself first? The list goes on.
I hope nobody thinks I'm talking about them, because this is just a generalized blog with generalized posts. Then again, people who end up being that "somebody" are people whom dislike last minute work, prefers to do things in advance just so they don't screw up later on. They choose to pick up that post of "somebody" just to ensure nothing goes wrong, but then, what happens? Nobody ever acknowledge them, all their hard work goes to other people's credits. Like, how horrible can one feel after that, then again, it's the sense of accomplishment that a certain "somebody" feels after finishing up a task.
To become more independent, I think we all have to start to learn how to be "somebody". At least, be that "somebody" for yourself, stop depending on others to do the jobs you're supposed to do, hopefully, we will all become mature. I don't deny, that sometimes, I wished someone could help me with my tasks. But I'm slowly learning, how to be that "somebody" for everyone, however, just by my own abilities, it wouldn't change much, because if everyone continues that search for their "somebody", then nobody would be that "somebody". It might sound super confusing, but it's not.
Moral of the story: Be your own "somebody" [:
