We all change, we all evolve, after futsal last night ( I pickups a muscular injury) came back resting/sleeping, caught an interesting program (8TV, Kevin Hill).
An interesting episode, why? A kindergarden teacher, exceptional, good reviews as a teacher is sacked coz of her past life, 10 years ago, because of situations, life, problems, running away from home at 16 ( the bad parts of life la) she went into porn to survive, later on in life she stopped, wanted to change, she became a pre school teacher and an excellent one I might add. When her past came to light, parents wanted her off, "the gasped in horror how could such a person with a dark past teach their young children" the school side the parents and she got screwed out of a job.
Right or Wrong? We scream injustice or nod our head in agreement, as yourself if you were in her shoes what would you do? And in the position of the parents what would you do?
We all have skeletons in the closet, I have, I still have, so what? If you change that should be in the past, and those who know of your past should shut the fuck up and move and allow you to move on with the life you trying to build. Not time and time again dangle reminder and pick and analyze every word and action you choose to represent your self.
That is the society we life in, these are the people we meet day to day, what matters is the present? Why? coz your past action, decision made is a direct result of where you are right here and now and the path you wish to move on with.
Would you treat me differently, view me differently if you knew my past? Why should it be? You value me for who I am and what I stand for and what I mean to you right here and now, never judge or use the past against someone. This episode was a stark reminder of that. Similar, would you hire a convicted thief to work in your office? With a record? What if that was for stealing rice at the age of 19? hmmmm
We are human, we make mistakes, some move on some don't, dun punish them for what they did in the past, they already paid the price for it. Let them live. Value them for what they are now.

LOL
I've got another one for u...
I have a friend in the industry who had to leave the industry because he stole a ball when he was a kid... SILLY...
i hire & fire people on daily basis - thats my job source screen reference check and hire. it is tied to the type of job you hire them on - yes if he was a guy was in jail for 2years for stealing from 7-11. YES i would still offer him a job in my call centre for example. I watched the episode & i think she would have made an excellant example to the kids on how you can turn your life around. As for the guy who was sacked for stealing a ball as a kid - probably the boss has needs to grow a 'ball'. :)
