Did i discover the fountain of youth?

Did i discover the fountain of youth?

Recently, i happened to be talking to 2 new acquaintances in separate instances and we touch on age(i.e how old i was) and hey.. both guessed that i was in my late 20s. Wooooo Weeeeeee.... either they were trying to be polite or alcohol has become a fountain of youth( however,before the brewers of heineken could contact me,a quick trip to the local coffeshop looking at the uncles drinking beer debunked the fountain of youth theory).

Anyway, that set me on those zenflective flashbacks when i was really in my 20s and was reminded by XiaoQiang of one theory i had then about people we know/come across/play marbles with/locked lips with/fought with/dance with............

Here is how it goes.

1/3 of the people we know or know us will always love/accept/accomodate and react generally positive towards us regardless of what we do.

1/3 of the people we know basically dun care what we do and are basically neutral towards us in spite of how we try to impress.

1/3 of the people we know or know us will always bitch/dislike/talk down and generally react negatively against us no matter how we try to manage their perceptions.

Where do you wanna focus your life energies on?..Think about it.....

PS: for those that are mathematically inclined, the 1/3 is not an absolute number so no need to bring out the calculator

According to XiaoQiang the pet pest, 1/3 of the people who know us will accept and accomodate us regardless of what we do, 1/3 dun really care what we do, and 1/3 will always bitch about us no matter how hard we try. The rest are probably playing marbles in the middle of the night.......
