Desire to be Great

Sigmund Freud has not ONLY been popularly known because of his "sexual" theories in Psychology that have best-explained why modern-day sexual predators still exist up to this day(especially the wee hours that "Call Center" people have usually  been undergoing that really can give the opportunity hehe if you know what I'm saying).  Because aside from his theory about man's sexual energy that stuck his ass into civilization, he asserted his conservative side, MAYBE not just to be called a "perverted" psychiatrist whom women of his time will definitely have second thoughts on going to his clinic, by formulating another theory which is something FAR "decent."  So aside from man's natural sexual urge, Freud also remarked that man has an overwhelming desire to be GREAT.  Yes, you read it right "a craving to be a STAR" hehe.  This very desire distinguishes us from animals because just imagine for instance when you signed-up your dog as one of the contestants in "show dogs" and eventually your dog won, it's definitely not POSSIBLE that your pet dog was flashing a BIG smile while it was receiving the award, isn't it?  It's more likely that the bitch will just unwittingly slide its tongue out.  If there could be a higher block than Maslow's "Self-Actualization" need, I would humbly suggest that it should be "Self-Importance" need.  Here's the connection hehe.

Last Thursday(the JPIA day), I felt a little bad though I didn't express it so animatedly(Hidel did hehe).  Here goes: One JPIA activity(Trivia Quiz Bee) which yours truly unhesitatingly joined(together with an awesome team) was held with an ambiance that ALMOST made my pants wet.  But what made me felt a little bad is that we placed hard-fought SECOND but we were not recognized(only the overall champion).  It would have been OKAY if they didn't also mention the 2nd and 3rd place in other activities like poster-making contest but they fuckin' did, actually to all activities EXCEPT the trivia quiz bee.  HOW obviously UNFAIR!  We definitely were not into those choco-coated sh*ts but I seriously want our section "4a7" to be reconized before the crowd of JPIANs.  But I don't know why it didn't happen.  JPIA authorities just let it slip NOT without a scar in our hearts hehe.    

Maybe Kwebs, Jes, Lesley, Lo, and I got a fair piece of BEING IMPORTANT from the simple thumbs-ups, substitutions, give me 5s from one another during the contest BUT our section didn't(God knows, I resent this).  Maybe one might ask why the hell I'm craving for our section to be recognized considering the fact that it wasn't them who exerted an effort to answer a trivia question.  BUT firstly there's really no problem with me(my name to be recognized) because from the fact alone that Kwebs has trusted my capacity by requesting me joining the team, I felt undoubtedly important somehow.  BUT the thing is(to answer the question), I want to prove to all that we are not just in a "section of 6-unit failure(sometimes inevitably SHORT in the eyes of others)" though we might not be as good as other sections in Accounting, we're IN for a "brain fight" which is needless to say MORE general, balanced, and enjoyable than ONE field.  So JPIA, you owe us a "recognition" and the announce speakers set-up in every classroom shall finally render its ULTIMATE service by announcing this: "The 2nd place in the Trivia Quiz Bee went to 4a7, btw" hehe

Last Tuesday, ComAch's* Gen. Assembly was held and for the first time in my entire life, I delivered 2 songs before a very small audience.  Take note that this wasn't REALLY my desire to be great, this isn't even connected to the title of the entry hehe(just want to share this).  And besides, I would have NOT agreed to sing before a very small audience if my desire was to be great then.  Right?  Why am I so defensive 'bout this hehe?  I just so promised Kim(ComAch's president) that I would do everything to help achieve their cause and if that's through "singing" then so be it
