Nerds can shine out too...

The truth is, many people tend to think that they're nerds. (even me T_T and till now...) This is quite common for most of us as we're admiring our friends who can do better than ourselves. We admire our idols too, whoever they may be. =D Our school teacher, singer, actor or actress... Anybody. It's quite unusual not to have idols to be role models or to admire someone. Even little kids these days have idols. For me, my idol is... A secret. =P

Now, I'd like to point out a little about what the title means. Yes, you may already know this... Some people may be talking about it and all. But sometimes you just dont understand about it. Some people, especially kids may be called a nerd by their friends (most commonly, friends will do that, but in other cases, maybe some family members do too...) just because... There's many reasons to it. It may be because he acts like a nerd, such as behaving strangely and seem to be scared of everything; or he may not excel well in studies or co-curriculum activities; etc. So this is why the kid is looked down by other kids, and for no apparent reason being called a nerd out of the blues.

Being called a nerd ain't something fun or to be proud of. A nerd means... A nerd. =_= (I don't really know how to explain it. But i know it's something bad...) Someone who's being called a nerd doesn't feel very good about it and they're always bullied by others. Besides that, they have fewer friends. Only true friends understand that in their hearts, they're not nerds. Kids who're called nerds always tend to think in a negative way: they may not succeed like his other outstanding friends or his idol, or that they may not succeed in something eventhough they put in extra effort. This is totally SO wrong!

Nerds can shine out too... One day. You may not know when is the day that you may shine out, but being hardworking and overcoming obstacles in life can eventually lead you, as a nerd, to a successful life. Then you'll only be a 'former nerd'. When things get better, maybe your friends who've called you a nerd before may even look up upon you as his idol. In the ten rules of Bill Gates, rule number 10 stated: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. Quite true... Although not everyone of us has a former nerd as a boss. =)

In the process of wanting to shine out, a nerd may be doing lots of things to surpass his so-called 'cooler' friends. He may not be able to change his friend's thoughts of stop calling him a nerd, for it'll always make things worse. Instead, he works hard to change his negative behaviours or character. It's not something easy to do... It may take months, or even years to change even the slightest things, physically or mentally. Well, for the physical part, he may change his dressing style or get a new haircut. That ain't something very hard to do... The hard part is to change any negative behaviours and so on. Sometimes we may not be able to change it, but we'll try to do anything to control and cover up that negative behaviour.

so, in conclusion, I'd like to repeat myself... I wanna say that... Nerds can shine out too. So don't ever look down on your friend who's being called a nerd. You may never know that he may be more successful than any of you and your other classmates. So you may wanna try to act nice to nerds next time? XD
