Worth It, Or Not?

Be low profile, so that you won't be judge too much by others.

I know this since secondary school, and yet I failed to practice it. I find it quite hard to maintain low profile, as I am not the one who are filled with a lot of talent, I have nothing special to show off, hence I cannot be too transparent in social, or otherwise I will lose my game. I was debating inside myself, whether I need to maintain low profile or show them what I have inside me. Lots of different suggestions I received. From lecturer, they told me to shine. From friends, they told me to be low profile.

I know piano, but only until Grade 4. There are tons of people who know how to play piano, some of them even Grade 8 or until diploma. I know how to do dessert, but with lots of video in Facebook now, everyone can make it. I know how to sing, but not so sweet. I know how to compose a story, but many of them could do the same thing.

I am not special, I know that.

So, one day, I decided to show off what I have inside me, so that I won't be so transparent, but... I experience a lot after that.

Set today's case as an example.

The door was locked when I went out with housemate. It end out we were locked outside. They tried to call for friends and shouting here and there to ask others housemate to open the door, and yet the room seems no one inside. I didn't want to waste my time in waiting for others to come back and open the door for us, so I was thinking, how to open it without a key. I am a type of person that have a lot of theory inside my head, and some useless minor knowledge that not everyone knows, because they do not think that kind of knowledge is necessary, such as, the mechanism of the door knob. As I mention, I m theory type person, and the so-called useless knowledge comes handy here. I know the mechanism of the door knob and how it works, so I came out with a theory——

"If I could pass through a rope, or something that can hang on the latch bolt, then pull the rope, the door should be open."

I found a nylon rope which used to be a hanger for cloths to open it, and I succeed. They were so astonished and I have to admit that, I feel proud, because I can do something that they can't do. After that, they asked me a question.

"Can you open our bedroom's door as well?"
"What do you mean?"
"Because it is very dangerous if you can."
"……no, I can't."

While the fact is, I could if I want to. I just need a minute or so to think of a theory and a minute to practice it. But, why should I do that? As long as I am not interested in break in your room, I would not know how to do it. I don't know they believe me or not, but I can sense something. If one day, their belongings missing, I think I will be the biggest suspect, as I could open the front door without a key, so do the bedroom.

So here's the advise. Before you want to do something that others' can't do, think first. whether it worth it or not. For me, it worth, because if they really treat me like a thief, then I can end my relationship with them, it makes me look clearly how they are.

Worth it? Worth it.
