There was a part of my body strong and thick when I was young. But now I am approaching 40 years old, it becomes weak… and thin. And sometimes it loses its function. Yes, that’s my… hair.
When I was a kid, I always asked my mom “Mom, why father has no hair?” “OH, honey. You’ll understand when you grow up.” …Now I grow up, and I totally understand WHY. “Like father, like son”. If next time you say hello to me “Oscar, nice hair cut”, I will have you HEAD cut.
I never know hair means so much to a man, especially…to a handsome one. It has 3 important functions. First: It protects our head. But now even I go outdoors under the sun, I can always …smell something burned from my fore head. Second: It makes you feel confident. But now in TM’s meetings, someone always reminds me “Oscar, don’t you need to go restroom to put on some makeup? You should draw some lines to pretend you have hair.” What a lousy evaluator, right? Third: When girls pass by, you can… stroke your hair to attract them. But now the only reason I stroke my hair …is to cover the areas where there are no hair.
If I keep losing hair like this, few years later, the only job I could do… is a monk… “Ring…ring, hey Ruby, what’s up? Speech contest? Sorry, Ruby, more stress, less hair. What? You have a beautiful friend, Jasmine? You know, I never say no to EVP. Count me in.” OH… I feel stressful. My hair… Fall Forward~… Fall Forward~
Now I have no confidence to go out for dinner. I have no confidence to attend the speech contest. See, the light is too strong. My forehead will be too shining. And all the judges can’t open their eyes. No hair, no fair! I even have no confidence to have a blind date… unless the girl is blind.
But last year, I had a blind date with our EVP’s friend, Jasmine. O: Wow, Jasmine, you are so beautiful. And… you are not blind. J: Hi, Oscar. Nice hair cut. O: My hair… J: Oscar, It’s OK. It’s the thing under hair that matters. O: The thing under hair? Yah, girls are always attracted by my handsome face! J: Oscar, you should learn looking into your inner side. Bye. O: Wait…did I say something wrong. It must be my hair.
Why me? There are 3 brothers in my family. But NONE of my the other 2 brothers have such kind of problem, unless we don’t have the same father. Why me? I work so hard. Look so handsome. I always pay my membership fee to TM club every year. Why me? There are so many members who never pay membership fee. They should be the people who have no hair. Why me?
Few days ago, Jasmine came to me. J: Oscar, I am engaged. Here is the wedding invitation for you. O: Congratulations. Your husband …HAS NO HAIR! Why do you choose him? J: Oscar,My husband is always full of confidence. I have told you. It’s the thing under hair that matters. O: The thing under hair? I thought you mean my face.
...suddenly, I realized “A lion without hair is still a lion. Oscar without hair is still Oscar.” A baldhead can also have a beautiful wife, beautiful life, and be the District Governor.
Why me? Why
not me! Because of my baldness, now I know the confidence comes from our
inner side, not outer side. Does hair matter? No! Does face matter? No!
Does size matter? No! The confidence doesn’t come from this part of my
body. It comes from… the other part of my body. What are you laughing? I
mean my knowledge, experience, and abilities. Ladies and gentlemen,
answer me, does hair matter? No~ Does hair matter? What matters is, from
now on, I will be more confident and… look on the bright side. |
