Guy back to school

Having worked for a couple of years in the corporate world and find myself back to lectures for a degree isn’t at all very enticing at first. The lack of qualification in my line of work surely hurts my career though. To avoid aggravating my dad’s sickness, I succumbed to going back to school after several coercion from him so he’s actually the bona fide starring here, heh.

I’m not exactly the age that should be sitting in classroom anymore but look upon as a excited and aggressive young man with a thriving career, but really I’m the exact opposite.

So, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. Even up to present day, I still shun some social gathering. Even if I did, I rarely tread onto the subject. I’d let them talk among themselves and await for the dreadful question- What are you up to nowadays? I blame it on my ego.

But there are always two sides of the coin. And if you allow yourself, there are actually three, depending on your willingness and creativity. By being positive, you will make the best out of any situation given.

However, I’m now looking at the 2nd side of the coin now; enjoy this moment, keep low stress as part of a healthy regime, be envious to my working class friends and churn something out from my part-time undertaking which, if it’d work out, I’d have created a money making machine, as a matter of speech. But I need time.

Things are temporary shelved due to assignments and very tight exam dates, I even cringe at the thought of it as I clearly don’t have enough time to prepare for it!

Nothing else matters

I mean nothing
there’s nothing here
nothing else matters
I live only to die

I forgot which book I quoted this from, but it mentioned it was taken off a prison wall somewhere. Talk about despair and event of a point of no return.

Envy

No matter how much a person is abundantly bestowed, I’m sure, at one point or another, he or she must have envied someone else before.

I would put envy and gratitude on the same level, but the reverse of one another. So when you envy someone someday, count your blessings.

If it was an envy of material things or status, even better is to challenge yourself to convert that envy to be your motivation, to strive for the similar height or stature.

“Feeling grateful to or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.”

“There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.”

Wonderful Life

“The saddest thing in life is,
When you own a lot of things,
but you feel lonely,
your life is full of emptiness.

The happiest thing in life is,
You do not know all the bad things that happen around you,
In your mind, everything is so beautiful,
So nice to see, so nice to hold,
But actually everything is fallin’ apart”
