=)

hmmmmm, suddenly found e inspiration to sit down n write something meaningful which i hope that others will enjoy reading bah.

Lessons n mistakes in life................................

Scenario 1:
rem wat happens whenever u take back a test paper in sch which u haf flopped (failed) badly? to summarize it in short -------------------------- black face, sad mood, determination to work harder next time and some extent of self frustration + disappointment bah.

Scenario 2:
This one is comparatively more serious in extent to e one above. Try to recall times when u haf failed to do well repeatedly for a few times in a row. As a result, failing or doing DAMN badly for e subject or module = "da bao" e exam or e whole thing or even the whole year's work.

hmmmm, i rem i read somewhere b4 that life is analogous to a schooling process. In this school (reallity school), everyone will take a lot of modules ---------------- most of them core modules and some of them optional n enrichment modules. These modules realli span a variety of topics...........................u think of it they haf it............................... eg. modules on anger management, money management, how to make frens, how to attract ppl around u and etc, etc. i'm sure u guys get wat i'm trying to get across here bah. =)
To be realistic, its almost impossible to graduate from this school of reality hehehehe. so everyone in e world stays in this school for e whole of their lifetimes. lolz. =p There is also an interesting observation to take note. which is everyone haf a talent for some modules which they do not need to study or learn anything from it. its juz some innate advantage which has been present in them since these ppl were brought up n stuff. U n i both haf them, they r called our "you1 dian3" our inherent advantages over others tt make us so special. Let me quote some examples bah to make things interesting: like how yisheng always bring laughter to everyone making him veri likable. n how my sis always make me feel so at ease wif her because she has such an attractive personality. e list goes on i guess. Subsequently, they pass their modules n move on to take subsequently modules as life goes on bah.

But thats onli one side of e situation i guess. Cause everyone has modules which they realli dun fare too well in. or rather they juz can't cope wif e criteria n fail it over n over n over again. This is known as the mistakes that we make during our life journey i guess. hmmmmmmmmmmmm, e reasoning is simple in fact. cause we were not taught b4 how to cope wif these unfamiliar situations or how to "study for it". looking around at e ppl which pass these modules at ease onli serve to make us more uncomfortable i guess. cause they expose our limitations cruelly n make us put more pressure on ourselves. In fact, most of us around realli fail to look at e situation tt causes our failure n take an objective approach to getting out of this "sandpit". let me quote some examples to state my case --------------------- some ppl r always doing badly for exams, others like to badmouth themselves n their abilities, or always finding themselves short of money n where it went n many many others bah. Everyone has these problems bah............u, me, my sis n yisheng.

Looking at e big picture

Note that this situation is surprisingly similar to e two scenarios that i haf examplified at e start of this blog entry. But not many ppl can step out of their shoes to see e bigger picture bah, to see e roots of their problems. its probably inevitable that they make e same mistakes over n over n blame life for being unfair to them. if they had failed their studies, they probably have taken more corrective action to begin wif. to be honest, i'm aware of this fact bah n am trying hard to pass e modules in life that i haf been consistently failing bah. sigh....................sometimes these things can be so discouraging ya? bet u guys share e same sentiments as me............hope everyone can learn from their mistakes in life n move on according to take other better n more difficult modules bah. I think we are all in e veri important process of moulding our character. i'm taking a veri proactive approach to moulding my personality cause i noe tt 30 years down e road, my happiness n my whole world will be built on these foundations of my life. Hope u guys feel e same way!!!! =) if things get too discouraging for u, u haf my support k? hehehehe.

One meaningful quote per blog entry =p

think positive n meaningful quote goes a long way in keeping our direction n goals focused bah.
Here's one for todae....................

"whether u think u will succeed or not, u r right."
