Everyday, we wake up, wash up, then go about doing things that we must do in life, be it studying, working, house hold chores, home work,.... How many of us really enjoy what we are doing? how many of us are doing what we want to do?
I don't know about you. But I dare say that I would prefer to live my life differently from my current situation now... but there is no way that I can do that because of various obligation and restriction. How helpless are we all in this world..
As there is not much chance of changing many things, We might as well learn to live with it and try to find joy in what we do, however insignificant they may be. And we cling on to those joy that we can find and hope that we can live through it all..
There will be times when everything seems to go against your wish. At such times, you will feel sad, depressed, disappointed, helpless.. I am sure all of us experienced it before though the experience may differ in scale and severity. One helpful way to think is that God is testing us (in terms of christian thinking), or that we are suffering to repay our debts ( with reference to the rebirth belief). No matter how we think, one thing is for sure.. if we just give up, we will never get up. So must keep on trying and trying... If you do this and you fail in the end or did not perform as you hope, you not have much regret because you can tell yourself that you have tried your best and there is not much more that you can do. this is definitely better than when you fail and say to yourself that you should have worked harder and pay more attention.
