I Need Some Humans.
A Day Late.
HOW FAR DO YOU WANT TO GO?
I was just having a conversation with a friend the other day. It has become conscious to me that how far we go in life is largely dependent on how much we want it.
Of course, there are all sorts of situations that may hinder or elevate your chances of reaching your desired goal. External forces like choices and actions of others are usually not within our control and more often than not, they do affect our personal lives to even the smallest extent.
However, people like myself can't afford to have other people make our plans sour. because i have not other choice. CORRECTION. because i have no other choice that i would settle for. For example, I have a thing (a big thing) against office jobs. Nothing against them, just that it's not the kind of profession i'm looking for. Therefore, I need to find a less conventional source of income upon graduation from polytechnic. fyi, it's not a 'want' or a 'would like to-situation'.. it's a NEED.
How far we go in life depends on how much we want it. Our need to achieve a certain something has a direct relationship with how much effort we exert, which usually reflects in the end result.
Well, that's just something to think about! To all our O-Level friends, i'm not going to wish you good luck because i sincerely hope you're not counting on luck to make the grade. I hope your results reflect the time and effort you put into your school work and that you get a deserving mark. been there, done that- you'll survive! (:
SHED THE OLD
It's that time of the year again, when everyone speaks of what they've gained from the year before and their new year's resolutions. I've got nothing against sharing learning points but there's a certain something about new year resolutions that eeks me more often than not.
New year resolutions are made at the beginning of the year, then usually end up found hidden under other books, scraps of paper, and post-it pads at the end of the year, accompanied by a suprised expression,"oh right.. i wrote that down!"
Now isn't that the most annoying part (:
True enough, new year resolutions are the first step to the path of happiness (so to speak. well maybe it's more like having a sense of gratification.) but what many people overlook are the subsequent steps beyond that first step. I believe that setting supporting goals and follow-through are things worth considering.. on that note, dreams will always be dreams unless you do something about it. Agreed?
2009 was an interesting year though. Out of the many things that i've gained and accomplished, i've learnt more about myself. Made mistakes (no doubt!), got hurt big time (deserving), but now I have a clear picture of the person i am, and what i want in life. If it doesnt fall in line with what's marked out, i will let it fall aside. One thing's for sure, i'm gonna make sure my kids grow up with the gospel and have parents with unwavering testimonies- because there isn't any other better way to bring up children than in a home parents care and lead the way, and children honour and obey = making home a part of heaven. (now doesn't that sound familiar!)
