Everything You Gave Up When You Were 15, You May Come To Regret At 18...All the Laziness You Entitled Yourself To, Will Come Back To Haunt You

Life is always like this, whatever you have lost, fate will use another method to compensate you. When one species of flower withers away, another species will flourish in its new place. One day, you will realise that everything you have lost, will be compensated in another fashion. Those who get duly compensated in the future, are the ones who have reunited with the better version of themselves in due time. 

 Most of us often find ourselves looking for a job after graduating from University, only to find ourselves feeling tired at the end of each working day, whining away about the completing the task at hand and cannot seem to find a way out after several revisions. 

 In fact, there is another perspective to this situation. Is it true that putting in the effort means you will get the due credit? Having to spend long hours editing the same article for 30 times, or correcting a work report for 40 times does not prove your diligence and accomplishments.

As an analogy, if a person undergoes a series of cosmetic surgery to change his or her appearance, will his original appearance still remain? It is unlikely so. On the same note, if you corrected too much of your original work, it means that you have started off on the wrong foot by not being focused and professional on keeping up with the standard. This may also result in losing precious time lost for your boss and colleagues alike.


Just when you gave up on learning how to swim at 15 because you felt it was just too difficult at that time, someone you like very much comes along and invites you to swim 3 years later at the age of 18, all you can say to him or her is "I don't know how to swim". Just when you felt that learning Mathematics was too cumbersome and you gave up on learning it well at the age of 18, a job which interests you very much comes along 10 years later at the age of 28 requires you to have good skills in Mathematics, all you can say to yourself is "Too bad I didn't do well in Mathematics". The more things you never wanted to take the trouble to do well in the early stages of Life or simply too lazy to take them up in the first place, the higher the probability that you will miss the opportunities in those things or the people you get interested in later in Life. 

There are some people who will only do two things their entire Life: Refuse to concede, and fighting at every chance to get better; these people can only become better along the way. There are also those who will only do two other things their entire Life: Waiting, and regretting at every lost opportunities; these people can only resign everything to fate. 

For every time when you procrastinated and convinced yourself that "there are still many days ahead of me", there are also opportunities out there you will forever miss if you do not seize them at the right time. Our time here is very limited and it is not as long as we make it up to be; everything which you thought you will always have the time to make up for later, will be taken away by your consistent "It's okay" and "wait a moment". In the end, all that is left is to languish at the "what ifs".

As a matter of fact, if you had not stepped into the self-study room, if you had not have the discipline to visit the library consistently, if you had not pushed yourself harder by taking a few more courses, if you had not woken up before the sunrise, all that is left is you not being able to get what you desire. The logic is that simple. All the procrastination to get that little of enjoyment of the moment will come back to haunt you in time to come.

A truly diligent person will put Time on his side, and cherish every moment alive. One fine day, he will find out that everything beautiful which he encountered along the way are calculated in seconds.

In this world, each of us has a different perspective and the paths we take on are completely different, not to mention that these different paths are constantly in a state of flux as Time goes along. You gradually discover later the most beautiful part of Life is that Life is multifaceted and diverse, and you must allow others the permission and respect them for having a different choice from yours, as well as taking on a different path from yours. In fact, the most fulfilled Life is a Life that stayed true to who you are, and you will have unknowingly live out the Life you loved for yourself, do the things you loved, and be with those who you loved. This, in itself, is the best version of who you are.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
