Life is like a Milo
About Milo:
Milo come in different kinds - powdered form in sachets, powdered form in tins, icecream form
in a small cup and also in big tubs, milo liquid in small and big packets, milo cereal in small and
big boxes to be accompanied with milk,
People love milo because it's chocolate in taste, and it gives energy.
Scenario:
Imagine yourself as a Milo and you are being displayed on the shelves.
(This applies to you, and the people that come and go in your life. )
So whoever likes Milo will buy from the shelves regularly. Maybe because they need energy or
the taste of Milo.
(When people like you, they will start to interact with you and make friends with you)
In the midst of choosing which Milo to buy, it all depends on what kind of Milo the customers
like. Icecream? Milk? Cereal?
(Because we know that people in our life behave differently, we have to change the way we
present ourselves to suit different peoples' character accordingly. And also maintaining that
same character of ours.)
But when the customers have too much of Milo, they will feel heaty and have all kinds of things
happening; cough, ousel etc., they will try to stop consuming Milo for a period till they feel better.
(When people in your life don't feel good with you, they will ignore you for sometime, or blamed
on how bad can you be, to that particular person)
When the consumers who find that Milo might be too expensive and can't afford to buy, they
may try Horlicks, or Ovaltine instead.
(When people in your life finds that they are incomparable to you, or can't accept the way you
are, they turn their direction to someone else, not you)
But not all customers will stop consuming Milo for a period of time due to their sickness. Some
even continued to consume without bothering about what bad things may happen to them for
consuming too much Milo. Instead, they consumed regularly like how they used to.
( Not everyone will avoid you when they don't feel good with you. Some may just ignore what
bad things had happened between you and them. Because they knew that you were once part of
their life, so they think more of the good things that you had done to them, rather then those
small things that happened. Its just something they are used to, and they feel affectionate to.)
Consumers that like Milo in icecream form, may try to like Milo in cereal form and others.
Because whatever forms they try, it is still Milo.
( People may want to know you in all areas of your life. Because it is you)
But what happens if in all forms of Milo, a consumer doesn't even like one of the forms? Well,
then Milo can't change to some form of vanilla flavour, or strawberry. Because, Milo is Milo. Milo
has been created to be in chocolate form. So if a customer complains to the supermarket: "Why
don't you sell Vanilla flavoured Milo?" then that's too bad for the customer because the
supermarket will definitely reply: "Sorry, we don't sell that because it doesn't exist in the first
place. You don't like it, just don't buy"
( So if people in your life don't even like you from the start, or totally dislike who you are. Then
no point being like the Milo, changing in different forms to suit everyone's needs, when
others don't like you in the first place, just like the customer has already disliked chocolate in the
first place. )
Milo is so successful because it has been changing its taste after feedback, and realise its flaws.
(If we don't listen, we will never know what makes us so bad and what can make us better :D )
Life is just like a Milo. We always change to satisfy people in our life. But if people can't accept
who you are in the first place, there's no point trying to change for that particular person. Ignore
the person will do :) Don't have to create so many troubles and quarrels just to force others to
hate someone.
What you don't like does not mean others have to dislike too. Unless everyone dislikes it too. :D
But if you are just being plain selfish when you yourself is seriously bad, and wants to gain the
favour from others to dislike someone whom you want to 'get rid' off, you are childish. :)
[ From B.T's point of view:
in the different packets. In the end what you get is a nice sweet drink that satisfies and helps
ease the pain temporarily] :D
