Blog#4 - Limit of a Person

Every person has his or her own limits but the question is should we push ourselves beyond our limit or just limit ourselves in the things that we know we can be sure of? Are we sure that the limit that we used to set is the real limit or capacity of ourselves? Should we think that the limit that we used to be sure of is right?

Being in a family who used to respect elders, Patriarchy has been one of the ideology that is implied in our family. It is also due to that my father used to live in a military way since my grandfather is a retired major. I do usually think that having that ideology is a problem since in a family is compose of mother, father, and children.  I think that everyone has the right to speak up and have an opinion. Being Patriarchal also limits the children in having a wide scope of knowledge and experience since there will be plenty of not to's. Patriarchy does not mean that you have to tie the necks of your family with you. It is also funny how we look into those courses, being a Political Science major does not mean that your career in the future will be a Politician. You can be anything as long as you want it and you worked hard for it.  You can be a Political commentator, consultant, lawyer, or even a businessman. Also in the sense that when you are a Chinese, the person you have to marry is a Chinese.

Some people decide not to go out of their comfort zone since they are afraid to be judged. Limiting yourself in one thing can be a hindrance in your life since there are plenty of opportunities that is given to us. It depends on us people on how we perceive it. My beliefs, identity and character are the limits of my existence. Myself is my comfort zone because I believe that everyone can be your enemy even if he or she is one of your family. Yourself will only be the one who will be there in every challenges in your life. I am a type of a person who will first observe a person before I talk to him/her.
