My Life
|
Friday, December 9, 2011This year, there have been many things happening that makes me think more about life. Many of such events mainly includes the death of family and friend's family which led me to thinking, is life worth living? There are 4 words that is usually used to describe life. Birth, Ageing, Illness and ultimately Death but are we given life just to wait for death or something more which set me thinking what is the meaning of life. Is it really and truly just waiting for death or is there something more? Personally, I feel that life is indeed something more than just waiting for death. If death is ultimately the outcome of life then we should do something to make your life worth living and what I feel that everyone can do is take life easy. To take life easy is not an easy thing to do, especially when the world is so fast paced and busy. However, I would like to think that it is the little actions that can bring about a change in your busy schedule that allows you to relax and think about life instead of just work work work. It was not until a few days before my A lvls that I was thinking of such an issue. Being overwhelm by stress of the possibilities of me not scoring for my exams, I actually almost fell into depression. What made me changed was the mindset. To me, I starting realising that it was not that I have not done enough but it is just that everyone is different and that the paper is not made specifically to maximise your potential but is just a general test for everyone taking them. I started realising that while some people are not good in certain areas, they are talented in others. It just the mindset that makes a difference to how you approach life and if u just tweak that a little, it can make a whole deal of difference. I was just watching a documentary about Africans yesterday and I realise that despite the hardship that they are going through, poor, poorly educated and living in horrible conditions, they still managed to take things slow and enjoy every nights with songs and dances which is something that we find it hard to do. So what we can do is to do small stuff that you enjoy and change your mindset cause even Africans can do so and not think about their hardship, why can't us? Secondly, it is how we do things in our life. Not everything can go according to how you planned and it is how you try to adapt to the changes that counts. Predictions itself is never accurate and one can never truly prepare themselves for any situation in life. So what can we do about it? All we can do is compromise and adapt. People always wonder why I seem not to care about my future and stuff. What I always say is that I just go with life because life itself is something that we cannot prepare for. We will face many challenges and meet people who will disagree with you but what can you do. Would u let the challenges take u down or would u rather approach it in another way? What if you had differentiated opinions about certain issues. Are you going to continue standing by your point and suffer your whole life or accept other opinion, compromise and make changes so that u do not have to ponder about it any longer. If everyone can compromise and not be so demanding about how to do things, everyone benefits. Who giving in and adapting 2 different ideas can every bring about a better outcome. Lastly, what we can do is to appreciate the precious ones around us. My friend mother just passed away and he is only 18 with a 12 year old sister. They do not even have the chance to repay their mother for the devotion and love that she had showered her with. Even if you hated your family members and friends, we should still show our appreciation in one way or another. Nowadays, despite not having good communications with my father, I still say thank you for the little things he does and whenever I get on to his taxi, I will try to ask about the days. My close friends who know that I HATED some of my relatives to the core, what I have to say is that I would like to thank them for the chance to show me what the true side of a person can be like and taught me how to avoid being like them. Everyone will surely teach you one thing. While my father do not openly show his love for us, I know that he still cares or else he would not even have bothered to buy us breakfast, lunch or dinner. He would not even bother paying bills and would have left us on our own. All I want to truly say is that while they may have put u down, have u considered the stuff that they have given u. Be it good or bad, there are things to be learnt and thus we need to thank them for all that there is. That is pretty much I want to say about life. weixiang froze in time on 12:39 PM
