Perception

Challenges after challenges...struggles after struggles... life is never ending with its own fair share of stories.... after going through and settling one problem, you thought things will be all right, and then another hits you.....and we will start the whole process all over again, complaining and whining about why things are always so unfair to us...


but then, its always how you perceive a problem that will eventually determine how hard the consequence will be....how a person interprets the whole situation will determine how serious it all is...I am speaking this on a very real experience which I encountered... and this is what the human race knows as "miscommunication"....


a problem that is so petty, so small, so insignificant, yet to some, it is like a life-changing problem; a do or die situation, a life and death situation.... funny how it seem when you are in one of the person involved in it...to you it may seem nothing, but to another, its the whole world... so lesson learnt here...never assume what the other party understands what you are trying to say for they may perceive the whole situation in a whole complete opposite manner compared to you... talk it out, if you may, explain, if you may...but in all things that you may do to put things right, always remember that you may not please the whole world and vice versa....as long as you are aware of what you are doing, and know the reason behind all that you do, that is sufficient for your ownself...


hard to digest? well, just take your time. I learnt this the hard way, and am still trying to cope with it...so am I thanking God for this bad episode of my life? of course, I will! if I have not been given this hard lesson, I would not have known the importance of assumptions and people's point of view....a blessing in disguise. that's how I would put it... well in fact, everything in life is a blessing in disguise...we just choose to see it "our" way, rather than the way it was suppose to be...think about it...its all about perception.


God bless us all.

unworthy

It's been three months since my last post.... so fast time flies..... Well, i wouldn't want to speak about what happened over the past three months.. but rather speak something very randomly that is bonggling the mind.. How often do we do our best in whatever tasks that is given, but the credit still goes to someone else? as much as we choose to ignore it, the dust is never easy to be bitten... the effort and time to help, and yet, those who were suppose to do it, choose to ignore it, while i become the scape goat for all the nonsense that wasn't even mine in the first place. it is really unfairness to its maxmum. and as much as it is against my life principle to be brought down so easily, but i just could not do much, knowing that i am legally bound to what is being contracted to me.. haizzz..life and all its obstacles... as much as i hope to persevere through all these, as much as i hope to leave as well... So much that i have gone through the past 9 years, and ne...

Not easy

Mixed feelings ...that's how i have been feeling lately..things came and go...causing perturbation to the mind...confusion, distraction, unsure of what to do...or even worse, dont know how to feel; dont know how to even portray the right emotions..(hahaha this brings back memories of what i learnt in my personality class....) things have been happening around me, thankfully, not directly to me lah...but somehow, indirectly, it affected me to a certain extend as well Some of my friends were in trouble lately, big trouble i shall say...i feel so bad for them, but somehow i just can't help much, because there is nothing much that i can help to solve it....all i can do is just to lend my ear to them, to be a platform for them to let things out of their shell...because speaking from experience, it is certainly very hard to just keep everything to oneself...slowly it will cause the body and mind to rot...hehe...too exaggerating pulak...hahahahaha .. anyhow, it was a lesson not just f...

Falling soldier

i saw this on the facebook page the other day and it hit me straight away... is this the explaination for all that has happened and is to happen? i'm doubting am i a strong soldier in the first place to be given such battles.... and then again, as i reflect back on the hard and tough few weeks before, and then with the annoucement from the Holy Father of his resignation, i wonder how hard it would have been for the Pope the past few weeks for him to come to that decision to resign... it would be so much more anguish and anxiety which i might have just had a little of it in comparison to how it must have been for him... it would been such a difficult time for him to discern his real calling and to come to a decision knowing that it will have various consequences..i personally think that he is indeed a man of courage to come out with such a heavy decision but surely with God's guidance along the way. he is indeed a man of faith and place his whole trust in God when he decide...
