Story book

jus had a thought for a moment.. take some time to think about it
too..

if everyday we lived.. contributes to a single page of a story book
of our own.. at the end of our life journey.. we would have managed
to come out with a full detailed story of our own..

simple as it sounds.. but not all of us will be having the same
story.. nor will we all be mentioning about each other..

not all of us will have a complete one.. nor will all of us have
the best of tales to be told..

some of us might even have blank pages.. and some might even have
forgotten to update the story at some point of time..

some might have a 29,200 pages thick story, that's if you managed
to live till at least 80 years old.. some unfortunately.. might jus
be few pages thin..

is yours printed in black and white? fully printed in full spectrum
of colors? or yours is a mixed of both? printed in gloss papers?
or simply handwritten in fool-scrape papers?

binded up? or stitched up with the best handcraft? or simply stapled
up with any conventional stapler? or worst case.. all messed up,
with no numbering of the pages?

why am i going into all the details of the story book for which
everyone of us has?

well, simple.. cause the papers used, the colors used, the bindings..
all of these are rather set for us.. if you are born with a silver
spoon in your mouth, you have already started off with glossy papers..
if you happened to be poor, sad to say, you start off with scrape
papers.. but does it means anything? no way...

even the best binded, fully colored books might just be left on
the shelves for years without anyone browsing it at all.. instead,
those dull, scrapy books.. on the other hand.. might have already
been flipped at least a thousand times or so.. and for some..
even it started off with glossy papers.. it ended up with scrape
papers..

i'm not sure if you guys have managed to follow up with me till
now.. for that what i meant about the looks of the story books..
are refering to the surroundings of our life.. the real interesting
part.. basically lies in the content of the books..

and of cos.. if i will to be even more specific about it.. the
cover page of the books.. simply is the looks of yourself.. the
way you dressed up.. the way you conduct yourself, the way you
treat others.. its all reflected on the cover page..

for sure, if you have the best of looks.. you might have managed to
draw quite a crowd to your "book".. and sad to say.. if you are
not.. you might have to wait for "the one" to pick up yours..
and start browsing through it..

but not to worry.. even if that's the case for ya.. if its a great
book.. that's worth a read.. word of mouth is the best marketing
you can ever get.. and not long.. you will definitely draw a larger
crowd.. compared to the 'babes' of the books..

now, comes the contents of your own "book".. the beauty of the
contents of each and everyone.. are all in it.. and for each of
us.. not all will agrees that it a good read.. and some might
even cursed the "writer" for coming up with such a lame plot..

the plot of the books.. are basically set by ourselves.. who are
the main characters.. the supporting characters.. all are decided
by us.. how we want the twist of it.. is also determine by ourselves..

sad story? romance? crime? scientific? horror? fiction? non-fiction?
all these are labelled by ourselves.. is yours just a read-only
book? where readers will just read during leisure and gain nothing
out of it? or yours is a mind-provoking one, whereby readers will
learn something out of it? educational ones? or simply a simple
one for no-brainers?

i'm only 20 this year.. reckon i'm only at the 1st few chapters
of my own book.. i definitely started off with scrapy papers..
and its hand written.. but that's for now.. i hope mine will move
on to glossy papers.. and ended off with a hand-stitch bind..
i'm not saying this means that my book will be the best-seller..
i just hope that.. someone who picked up my 'book'.. felt more
comfortable reading it..

but nonetheless, if i didn't managed to end off with a great
note.. i just hope that.. there's readers to mine..

have you started yours?
