Sincere

In today's era of plastic surgery, photoshop, and NLP..
sincerity is a rare commodity.
or obsolete.. for some.

those who are still sincere with their words and acts..
they are either one of those friends who don't seem to get too much attention on his fb page..
or.. those people found on Silver Lining Playbook.

The other day I spoke to my brother about one of his SMU friends.
my brother described this guy as a 'true blue SMU' man.

I met this boy.
I pointed out to something that he said in our previous phone conversation.
Basically I was trying to tell him that he has not been honoring his words.

He said, "oh maybe you have over-expectation on the subject.."

I was like..
Dude.. don't play this game with me.
Anyway so I just gave that are-you-kidding-me-smile hearing those words.

Well he is actually a decent chap :) Afterwards he quickly admitted that he had underestimated the matter.

That's better.
You know.. why can't people just be sincere?

Maybe for others.. it works. by saying that they hv 'over-expected' rather than you hv 'underestimated'..
it creates certain effect to your advantage.
Maybe you don't go far in your career by being sincere.
And sadly you might not even score many points with your big families by being sincere.

But somehow.. I prefer sincerity.
