The entire entry this time, i copied it from Juncheng's blog, so to recognise the copyright, credits to Juncheng. I took these cos i felt they were meaningful, not necessary definitely correct but some food for thought.. I remembered the first time i read it few weeks/months ago, i found it v interesting, so copied it over here, so tt i can go thru now & then or even when i get older.... =)
1) dare to try and venture
it is of human nature to be curious. however, this curiousity wears off as we proceed on in life due to the falls we experienced and the pain we endured. it becomes our instinct to be cautious of every little risks and dangers that may revolve around the things that appears as strangers to us. but how are we going to live life to the fullest and live meaningfully when your life would be trapped and isolated off in a fantasy world of your own, just like a sealed crate sealing your fate as a mundane, monotonous and mechanical life. sometimes for some things we do in life there is just no time to ponder whether it would be feasible to approach something in some ways, for time and chance waits for no one and at times once gone, it is gone for good. taking a rational risk in lifemay just bring you surprises that you might not have dreamt of and expected.
2) enjoy and don't compare
everyone is unique, and so are their life. so how are we suppose to compare and for what, when there are billions of living people on this Earth and everyone have a different kind of happiness as well as problems. unless you are a god who is supposedly perfect, we should look at life in a accepting way. if that's Fate and nothing can be done to change it, anger and tears ain't going to bring us anywhere. rather, why not take things in our stride and just let it go? enjoy life as it is, 'cos you would not understand how blessed you are until you let every single happenings seeps through your soul and accept your destiny the way it is. as long as you are happy, that is your own paradise.
3) simplicity rocks
we are exposed to everything and anything under the sun, be it good or bad. we lost our innocent mind we used to have as a child and learnt how to think. however, the more we think, the more complex things get. the more we treat life as a problem and the more we try ways and means to solve it, it ended up messier than it was. why not be simple for once? there are many different shades of blue we know of, from bright to dull. when asked to describe blue, most would ponder which one is the purest and most basic form of blue? same with our life. we get lost as we try to change and adapt for the better, yet at he same time the more we learn, the more we think, the more we change, the more confused we get. we lose our way, we lose our identity, and we even lose our soul at point of time, banishing ourselves into a nobody. we are who we are, and we just need to be ourselves and the most natural and best form to be a somebody attractively unique.
4) don't give up too fast
stress, failures, obstacles...all these have contributed to our disappointments and frustrations once and again. they will never stop coming until the day you vanish from the surface of this world. if that is so, why bow to the demon that tripped you so hard? fight it! we lack of perserverance, as one would often give the excuse that one failure after another has beaten the morale and and worn patience out. "you'll never fail until you stop trying", and that is an attitude we ought to hold when dealing with daily life problems. you will eventually reap what you sowed and enjoy that sweetness of success in life.
5) treasure whatever you have
humans always fail to treasure their precious in life until they lose them. some things comes along once, unless time rewinds you will not find a exact duplicate of it ever again. appreciate what you have in life, and be thankful to things around you. even if it is something bad, be positive about it. learn to love it as a experience gained as well as an important lesson for your life, for without it in future encounters you will lack the skills to face it. express your appreciation as well as your concerns to the loved ones around you before its too late in this ever unpredictable life, be it friends, kins or even if he or she is just an acquaintance. make someone's day, and one day someone will just make your day.
