Random Thought 2 - Fireworks

As I watched the fireworks display this new year, I came to realize that fireworks are like our performances. The way we perform may delight our audience, excite them, or even make them exclaim.

There are fireworks that from the ground up, they showcase all they've got as if there's no more tomorrow. Their grand entrance definitely captures the audience, put the audience to their feet as they tried to hold their breath because of total excitement. Such enthusiasm and drive on our part makes us establish our sense of identity and confidence in what we do.

There are also fireworks that make their way up in a silent manner and suddenly, give the audience a big bang as if declaring themselves as mighty ones. Silent yet enormous. Unnoticed yet loud. A humble beginning for an explosive finale. Such a performance surely delivers something beyond expectations.

And there are fireworks that we may aptly call "ordinary." For being common and simple, they just give a bit of fun and excitement. But when they are synchronized properly and blended with those great ones, for sure, they will be a spectacle on their own right. Ordinary means less expectations, less burden. Delivering something that is simple would be less demanding but not easily recognized and appreciated. This could be a good avenue to stay away from the limelight though you can deliver something.

No matter what kind of fireworks we are, in most cases, we do our best do deliver our part. We strive for something which is good and wonderful. we try to put a good show, not for our audience but for ourselves. Though we can never please every one, as long as we do our best, we can always be proud of our performance. And at the end of the day, when our lights are all out, we can rightfully say that our part of the show completes our experience and it would be a great consolation if the audience are delighted as well. This should make us proud because we are part of a wonderful show.
