Yea yea..I knw, I shld b studying..but after all that revision, somehow I must get a break rite?
I was reading a blog (friend's friend's) and I saw sth that she wrote tat wasn't really true..
She wrote in chinese, @ the end of her blog tat: "No one ever have happiness (xingfu) consistently (or rather forever)"
I totally disagree wif her conclusion...I knw it's her blog but I suppose voicing my disagreement in a polite manner wldn't do much harm rite? I wrote in her tagboard tat she was wrong cos I'm one example of a person who always have xingfu wif me, no matter what..
My feeling are as such becos I feel tat happiness is always in our hands, in us...it's just a matter of whether the person realize it or nt..whether he/she is contented wif wat he/she has..
I may nt be a easily contented person (some might say) but personally, I knw tat I am very contented right now...As I grow older, I realize tat although money is important, many things in life can't be bought by money...There are many things in life which is to be acquire by ourselves, w/o and can't be bought by money..
Kinship, friendship and LOVE...these are things that can't be bought...Instead, they're acquire by ourselves, via our feelings, thoughts, actions and spoken words...
Money can be earn, is meant to be spent...One didn't bring money with him/her when brought to this world..neither can him/her bring money with them when they're dead...
Be contented with other things ard your life and you wld realize n understand tat actually u're always surrounded by happiness...It's in the grasp of your hands..
Contentment is nt something that can be taught, but hv to be learnt by oneself on his/her own...Likewise, I learnt contentment the hard way..but at least thru' the hard way, I gained a knowledge n teaching tat no schools can teach or impart it to me...I have a wonderful husband, a great family, friends who are very good n nice to me..Although I dun hv much money to spend on shopping & holidaying but I still feel happy with wat I am able to do other than those mentioned..I feel envious when I knw some of my friends can go holidaying wif friends or go shop for many things they want...but I still feel happy with wat I already hv...
My life may not look as exciting as others in terms of the things they do such as chatting @ cafes, going to the movies and shopping wif friends...I lead a quite routine life - school, work n hm...But I feel tat my life is exciting as I get different experience each time I'm @ sch, @ work or even @ hm wif my family n husband. Nothing is the same everyday...Everything is always changing..bit by bit, if one ever really observes or notice...
When I'm feeling down, due to family, friends or work, I wld always try to think alternative ways like 'why is it like this' or why is it like that' questions..This is after going thru lots n lots of things in the past to teach me n cause me to think like this..
I used to hv Depression..had to conquer the prob all on my own, w/o any help frm anyone..None of my friends knew abt my prob..Depression never goes away..but you can make it stay away for as long as you can if you try to think otherwise..No one can help you except yourself..
Try to think abt happy stuff..try to think abt other reasons for unpleasant situations experienced..Learn frm the past..
In summary,
be contented wif what you already hv..and you'll be able to
find happiness frm within...
I'm nt trying to be sacarstic, nt trying to 'xing zai le huo' on other ppl's experiences..I just feel tat if the blogger (the owner of whom I read her blog) actually look ard her n give deep thoughts (be contented wif whatever she already has), maybe, most probably she would find the happiness she yearns for...
Happiness is something you have to earn n grasp..It's not totally given by others.."Treasure what is in front of you now. Never wait until it leaves before realizing the importance"
