I was taken aback when i seen and read in the news about the problems the world faced everyday.It makes me realised that it would be a wrong perspective of mine to believe that my problems are paramount and that the problems of others are too simple to be solved.It is the nature of many people to have this perspective.But...frankly speaking,we should stop having that mindset.
If you think that you are the only one feeling stressed about your problems,think again.Compare your problems to that faced by other people over on the other end of the world.While you are contemplating on what dress to wear,what food to eat today or even how to impress another girl you had a crush on,others are facing war,food shortages and the constant threat to their lives.Now let me ask you a question...At the end of the day,are our problems that significant?
I recently met one of my old friends last week.He looked so happy with a smile beaming from his face.I was wondering so as to what is he so happy about.He told me that after seeing what other people went through in life,it makes him realised that his life is actually more blessed afterall.

Happiness for the first time...
Imagine that your life turns better for the first time...like a storm that just passed and the brightness of the sky is finally out.Sometimes we may be down when something happens and its not to our liking.Somehow only a little of us would see the silver linings in our unhappiness and that we just have to be patient and let nature takes its course.
Someone once said to me that life is like a lifelong test.It is just that there is not papers and pens required,just the vast experience of life's challenges.To me personally,that meant a lot to me.Being in the age where you must juggle your hectic life,maintaining your relationship between your family and friends and to find time for yourself and your own responsibility...all at the same time is a hard thing to do.But if you ever succeed...there is it!You have just found happiness!
Actually,my definition of happiness is when you are happy with yourself,being good at what you do and that your life have turned out the way you've wanted it to.But...always bear in mind...since life is a lifelong test,be prepared to face even tougher challenges that life will throw at you.What matters most is that you face these challenges with patience and courage...be fearless!

Retribution
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason,least to say retribution.Just like the quote...what goes around,comes around,if you have hurt someone whether physically or emotionally you will get your just desert one day.
We all could not deny the existence of mean and diabolical people in the world.Some of us may have the stereotype that these people could only be found in the political and business world.However,sadly to say they do exist in our day to day life,be it at the workplace or at school.
Back in school,everything was slowly turning out fine for me.Although I may not have the broadest circle of friends,I still do have friends around me like my classmates.However,there are people who still tries to stop me from having the success i've yearned.I just simply could not comprehend what is on their mind.Do they find pleasure in making me fall?Or are they just jealous and intimidated of me?
A prolific philosopher once quoted...If someone ever hurt you in any form,you have 2 options,to take revenge and level the playing field...or to just be patient and wait for retribution to strike them back in due time.I'm personally deliberating my options.

Starting over again...
My very first blog!Its best if i could set the stage about what is currently happening in my life.I am currently on my way to university with only the A levels to settle.I have just moved in to a new JC about 3 months ago and I was having a fresh perspective of life.
It turns out that I was dead wrong.It is just the same like anywhere else.Lies,deceptions,manipulations and hypocracy kept surrounding me just like before.But...at that moment,I have made a huge mistake in my life.I tried too hard to be like my peers who seem to get along easily with each other.I found myself at the end of the day being outside the social circle of my classmates.Moreover i have just fallen in love with one my classmates at that time.She was sweet at first,treating me like a mutual friend but then dissipating me like i just don't exist anymore.I really had no one to turn to this time around.
As I was updating my Facebook,one of my ex-teachers left me with a quote...It's true that you can't please or impress everyone.But what matters most is that you are always happy about yourself,irregardless of what other people think of you.I finally found the strength to embrace my new identity.
That's it for now.This is me,signin' out!
