Default When everything becomes ash.

Anybody felt like this before? You thought you know what you wanted, you worked hard, you sacrificed alot, you put in your best efforts, the amount of money spent, the no. of years invested etc. And eventually you realised, this is not what you want.

Then, you felt disappointed.
You felt angry.
You felt cheated.
You felt like you're stuck at nowhere.

And then you lose hope.

How can you be so sure that whatever you're pursuing in future will turn out what you expect it to be?

Life just doesn't go your way.

Quite true. Frankly... I do feel that sometimes. But hey... the future is not set in stone. Anything can happen to alter the future that we want to achieve. Life has a funny way of throwing a monkey wrench into our best laid plans, and sometimes we feel frustrated and lost.

But the point is not to lose hope. I always believe that life is trying to tell you something, to give you and indication that your future lies elsewhere. Perharps it is best to think positively, calm down and spend some time alone, and think through your plans carefully. Maybe it is then you might find out what is really the 'future' that you really want.

Stephen Covey put it well in his book 7 Habits of the Highly Effective People when he said....

"before you climb the ladder of success, make sure your ladder is leaning against the right wall".

Personally, 'Right wall' is the kind of lifestyle you want to lead. The person you want to be, the relationship you want to develop. Its not about status quote, its not about killing yourself to make X amount of money, because at the end of the day, your wealth is not valued by money.....

If you realize that what you have done may not be what you really want, then i think its time to sit down, take a notebook and ask yourself this....

What you want to do?
Who you want to become?
Where you want to end up?

You did be surprise that what you do now and what you've always wanted to do is totally different....But why is it so different? It could be the status quote....

The only way one can be certain of their own future is to create one. create that vision and turn it into an obsession.

Life will only go your way when you know which way you are going.....

Just be contented with what you have.

No point wanting everything and yet get disappointed.

All posts made are of subjective nature by default, unless explicitly mentioned. I am afterall still human.

thats when you begin to realise everything in life has already lost its meanings... haiya but the reason why you are feeling like that is not just becoz things didnt work out according to your way. its also becoz our shells and flesh felt tired and defeated.

thats why people go be monks and nuns mah... but for me, its just a battle everyday...

I think in different stages of our life we will have different priorities and different ladders to climb.

The important thing is to do the best in whatever you are doing at each stage of your life. Go live to the fullest so that when you look back one day, you can say to yourself that there is no regret.

Default Re: When everything becomes ash.

i used to regret studying in the IT course for my diploma, imagine the amount of money i spent on that, den i graduated leaving every single bit of programming knowledge behind, i've asked myself for the whole three years in NYP "why did i choose the IT course?"

den i think in a way "hey, if i din go, i will not get to know all my friends, who taught me things that schools cannot teach"

and i felt better
thou university life, i am going to go my way, choose another course, and not IT anymore


一生的友情。。。
一世的等待。。。
一辈子的承诺。。。

a friendship for life 。。。
a boundless awaitment 。。。
a promise harnessed eternally 。。。

I think afterall, .. at the end of the day, it's all about whether you're able to accept your failure and discontentment and stand up again.

I believe everybody will pass through that stage in life. Life's never smooth-sailing anyway.
