We Create Hope in Life!

Life is surely not as easy as we think it maybe but it will be if...

I met a doctor who once said, "Sometimes life is not about doing something you love to do, but it is about learning to love what you do."

It sounded somewhat weird. There's a way to illustrate what he was really trying to say actually. He was actually telling us about his experience in becoming a doctor. He said he didn't like the night calls and the housemanship but he had to endure all these to achieve what he wants. So, there he is, a successful doctor! Well, he did mentioned that he learned to love what he had to do.

Personally, I didn't like the fact that I had to leave home and stay somewhere far away. Deep inside, I knew that it was best for me to go because it's a hope for me to achieve what I want in life. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Yes, it certainly is.

Even though I am away from my family, I bear something in mind. That's the only thing that keeps my dreams alive. It was the reason I left my family-my future. My hope is to see smiles on their faces when I return home.

...we have a reason and be persistent. Thus, we create hope in life!

Tips for making your day a better day!

Life may seem cruel at some point of our lives, however, we should always be ready to face it no matter how horrendous it is. I may not be very experienced in life but I really want to help those who are feeling terrible about themselves. Truthfully, I have tried those ways and they worked out for me. So, I hope this will aid those who read this as well.



1. Read inspirational books-they have a tremendous effect towards your behavior and they may change the way of how you look at things. Besides, they will aid you having a better perspective on life. I must admit that this has worked on me.




2. Quotes from personages-this method has its benefits too. It makes one more motivated. Also, it might be a driving force to a myriad of people when they wake up in the morning hoping to lead a better day than yesterday.




3. Writing a blog/diary/note-writing out how you feel about a certain thing is similar to expressing your feelings, thoughts and opinions about that particular topic. This enables one to open his feelings and eventually, prevents one from keeping his feelings to himself.



4. Talk to someone with a positive mind and positive attitude-they will make you feel better as they are optimistic and you will be influence by their positive energy that they potray. Eventually, you can avoid yourself from drowning even deeper! Maybe talk to someone close to you perhaps. As for me, I will give a call to my very own twin sis..lol.



5. Think about the good times-why don't we spend our time thinking of good stuffs rather than the bad ones? Flipping through the old photo albums or cards is another way.Try it. Always think positively. Let the good memories stay in the mind and do not let the unwanted ones in.
   
   

Crying?

Is crying a sign of breaking down? Does crying signifies a weakness? Or does it tells you that you are just being too emotional?

Crying may seem embarrassing and humiliating to most of us. At first, I have the same thought towards crying but now, I looked at it as a sign of regaining my satisfaction. This is because I think that crying is a sign of accepting reality-no matter how harsh or bitter it may be. Crying certainly alleviates one's emotion and well being.

People cry for many many reasons and surely everyone has their breaking point.

My grandma had passed away last year. As predicted, most of us cry for her lost, for not being to see her again, talk to her and express our love for her. I was despondent. I regretted for not spending more time with her or making any initiatives to talk to her..Right now, when I think of it, I know that crying would not have change any bit of it. What has been done is done. I can't do anything for her now..However, every time when I stood in front of the altar, I would promise her that I would try my best in everything I do, hope that she would always rest in peace and thanked her for everything EVERYTHING that she had done for me and my family..If I could turn back time, I will hug her tightly and tell her that, 'I love you!'.

Do you know what it feels like having someone really REALLY close to you being apart from you? I surely know that feeling...Being born as a twin myself, I used to think it was unique but sometimes I have a thought that being a twin means that I do not have my individuality because people tend to treat twins as the same individual. I used to hate wearing the same clothes like my sister and sharing the same toys with her..but now, I missed it sooo much and I would not mind doing it again!

She is my best friend, my close friend and my sister! Now, we have went separate paths in our lives. Good bye to all the sweet moments that we used to have with one another throughout our entire lives! I cried at the point when I knew that I have to eventually let her go...letting her go is similar to ripping a part of me out from my body and soul. Even she had cried. It is of no surprise because we spent practically our whole entire years together.

That point of time I realised that if it is for the better than maybe I should just accept that truth that she is going. Soon, I realised that crying certainly won't change a damn thing. No matter how much of tears we shed or how much of time we spent on crying, the reality is REALITY!
We just gotta move on with our lives. And crying surely is not a weakness. Crying is the first step for us to accept the truth.

Attitudes of Amazing Achievers

A few days back, I have just read a book 'Attitudes of Amazing Achievers' by Philip Baker. I think I did not make the wrong choice for reading it. This book has surely gave me an insight about what I need in order to make myself feel like I am an achiever and most importantly to be like an achiever!

Okay..I think I better get started already. Attitudes define our perspectives. This is true. There will always be sunshine and rain. Some of us(that inculdes me) might hate the rain as it gets us wet and it makes travelling much harder for the most of us. However, the farmers like the rain because it helps them to water their crops. Well, it is us who decide whether to like it or hate it. Eventually, it is us who determine whether rain is a bad or a good thing. If we look at things in others perspectives, we might feel a whole lot better!

Do losers win? I think that this very much applies to me and maybe a whole of people out there. Recently, I have received my TOEFL scores and today, my SAT scores. As I have expected I did not score well. I felt like an idiot who thinks she studies but didn't score. I feel crappy,shitty,angry,...(this would go on forever if I don't make myself feel better). I regretted for not trying harder. Yea, I must admit that I was rather upset about my results. However, to think of the good side of it, I actually know where I stood now. I know where my weaknesses lie and I have learned to accept that I have done my very best and this is me! I am grateful because I have another chance to redeem myself. So, I don't think that I have lost! Although being a loser, I have gain something valuable-self realisation and self acceptance.

Many would say that giving is receiving. It has some truth in it. If a little girl gives 10 cents from her pocket money to the beggar, it might not seemed to be very valuable. The beggar would most probably gave her a smile and thanked her. However for the little girl, she feels that she has helped the beggar and to see the smile painted across his face meant a lot for her. As little as 10 cents is a lot for her because it is her pocket money. She may not be able to help the beggar all the time but at least she has make a day out from the beggar's life.

So are you an achiever? Seriously, it depends on how you look at things. Lastly, things aren't always as bad as they always look.

Lesson: If we look deeper, we might have gain something from them..something much more valuable than triumph! =)
