Silver spoon Vs Scrapper

Have you heard this amazing speech by Regina Hartley  ?

She said that there are two kind of people who will make it to the desk of human resources in big companies. 

The first one is a silver spoon, and the other one is a scrapper. 

A silver spoon is someone whose entire life has been destined to be success. 

They come from a great family, handled everything greatly and study very hard with several amount of different courses to attend so many prestige universities. They live their whole life knowing that they will be yet another success person.

Regina said that she doesn't hold anything against these silver spoon people. The only problem is, as she said, "If your life has been engineered towards succeed, how will you handled the though times?"

And then there is these other candidate, whose Regina referred as a scrapper. 

Scrapper is a person whose life seems like it's been engineered toward failure, but they could amazingly dodge every kind of bullets and actually make it to be success. 

Apparently, one of the thing that makes them where they are, is the fact that they have been adapt to these strong opinion that the only person they could lean on, is themself.

They've been facing every kinds of rejection, poverty, failure, and that's what makes them strong. Because sometimes, after hundreds or even thousands of though times, a person will have this strong mentality to face this world. 

"What's worst that could happen?" is one of the thing that a scrapper would say when facing though times.

Several psychology research has shown that there is this thing called "Post Traumatic Growth", where people feels like they could do just about anything and everything because of their dark past.

They could handle everything well because, let's just face it, their life has never been a bed full of roses.

Now ladies and gentleman,

I'm gonna say that I really like Regina's speeches, because I could easily relate to every single word that Regina said.

I am a scrapper myself.

Coming from broken home family, I was left to this very kind and altruistic person that I love with all of my heart.

She was caring, passionate, and loves me so much. She treat me like I am her own child and I was very lucky. At that time.

Everything changes someday when I was just graduated from junior high school.

When I have to deal with the fact that I must, with or without my agreement, come to live with my 'real' family, which is very very different from this loving woman.

And then there I was, completely young, shaky and scared. Being thrown to the cruel world where I have to stand all of my life all alone. 

Like any other scrapper, I was falling to pieces because of these family matter that was very very devastating. (Which I could hapily shared the detail with you if you contact me personally.), and then becoming that quite little girl in the corner, with dark thought and super low self esteem.

Until someday, with all of the motivations I got, I'm trying to build my own life to a better future, better direction.

My scrapper's soul was kicking in, and every kind of change, I have to make it as soon as possible.

Before, I was never even brave enough to speak my voice in front of my friends.
And now, I am trying my best to be able to communicate my needs and thought to the crowd.

Before, I filled my thought with negative and self-hypnosis that I can't do everything greatly.
And now, I am so believing that I am one of those people who was woken up and ready to spread my wings as wide as possible.

This is a blog dedicated to all of the scrappers out there.

All of the person who is willing to change their fate and life.

All of the person that's brave enough to be having a big dream and really wants to make it to the top of the world.

Let's fight together, and make our journey worth it.

At least, when we were done fighting, we're gonna be able to sit there in our quiet twilight day, smiling because we were not wasting our life mourning.

For you, Yes, you.

The one with an inner scrapper soul that was kicked in asked to be freed, let them go.

Let your soul decided your journey and meanwhile, keep improving yourself with diciplines and dedicated actions.

Let's fight together!

Sincerely, Scrapper Girl.
