Pros & Cons of having an odd name




1)  An ice breaker –

Whats your name
Cassiopeia
(Confused face) Pardon? How do you spell it?
C-a-ss-i-o-p-e-i-a it’s Cassiopeia
Oh, interesting. May I ask what does it mean?
Cassiopeia is the name of a mythological mother who became a stellar constellation. Actually my parents wished for me when they saw a shooting star. And they liked the sound of Cassiopeia. So they named me Cassiopeia.
Oh wow. That’s nice. Very interesting. Nice name. I like it
*blushes* Thanks.
(Same story repeats whenever asked for your name)

2)  Congrats! You are unique!- Sometimes its good to be one of a kind. You are special. You are unique.

3)  Get away with situations- Common admit it! Your name is not easy to grasp. People may find it really hard to recollect your name if you meet them just once. Sometimes it’s easier to get away with a situation.


4)  Easier to get your desired username- Sometimes it gets irritating to find the username your looking out for. It’s all taken. With your one of a kind name, there is a great chance you can avoid funny/ complicated usernames.


5)  Your name is often misspelled or mispronounced- Yes, it does get on ones nerves when your name is not called out the way it is. Over the years you get used to it.


6)  Explaining your name again and again- One thing you cannot avoid that is having to explain the meaning of your name. Probably you can wear a board around your neck or carry a voice record explaining your name.


7)  Easily forgotten- Out of sight is out of mind. Having an odd name may not work in your favour every single time. The harsh truth: Yes, your name can be easily forgotten. But, yeah, incase you’re sad refer to point 3 again.


8)  Feel like a celebrity- You heard right! Top celebrities and several famous personalities have unique names. Don’t believe me? Google it!









Mistakes of life.

Its human to make mistakes and I'm no exception. Life is an experience, learn from it ! Move on when necessary and began again with a fresh new start. A few mistakes that make me ponder over and over again. Mistakes that I am a part of while some, just an observation about others. Just as the saying goes by, " A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

Sometimes we have no control over our feelings. Often led by emotions we almost forget ourselves. Forgiving too much, the same people take you for granted. Mistakes in selecting the wrong friends, trusting someone too much, mistake of not trusting your intution, mistake of not learning from mistakes.

A mistake once done should be an experience that must never must be repeated again. Listen to your heart but also listen to your mind...

Never Give Up

                                

Criticism is a part of life. Some may criticize you, while on the other hand you may be praised for the same thing by others. Some may think good of you but may never have the interest to tell you. while the most successful people were always criticized for their work before they made it to the top. they were hurt and put down but never gave up in following their dreams. With their hard work and dedication they achieved what they wanted to and those who criticized them have learnt their lesson forever.
                        Also never underestimate anyone. Britain's Got Talent, Opera singer runner up winner, Susan Boyle,  was compared to a pig from the village she came from by the judge. But her talent and voice took everyone by surprise and she received a standing ovation . So no matter what people say we must never give up. People have mouths - will talk and not forgetting that we are a part of people too. we talk too about others, knowingly or unknowingly. So in the end what matters is that we should be aware and believe in ourselves and find our way through.Because no one knows what you really are and you have all the right to prove it to them.
