lots of time, lot of issue that preventing me from blogging this couple of weeks and today i told myself that i need to do it thus this entry.
Well i was given an opportunity to meet teachers from other districts in Perak for a course conducted by me and my friends. Really exciting and awesome journey and a good learning experience. I have learned from so so many people that i have encountered in my life but this couple of weeks are really learning and learning. I learn from the new. I learn from the matured and experience, I learn from the caretaker. I learn from people who are willing to share with me.
People tend to confide in me their problems and I like that since I learn from their experience. Although we are in the same line- Teaching that is, but some experience which I have never thought of before were share with me. Thus making my life more enrich and purposeful.
Some of the things that I have learned are really bad. I mean really would be very shameful yet I learn because in life we need to be able to choose what is good and what is bad in our life.
Life is not going to tell u, alright this is bad and this is the good. Bad and good is part and parcel of life just like yin and yan as the Chinese believe. Therefore it is up to us to know the difference. A good up bringing helps us when we want to make a choice in life. Sometimes we need to make bad choices in order to learn it the hard way and manner which makes our life difficult but we are happy.
Back to my adventures which are still going on, I learn that :
1) People come into your life for a reason and you can scratch your head high and low to ponder why but will never get the answer. They come into your life because God send them to teach you and compare your life with theirs. When you think that your life is boring and not interesting then you meet someone who is facing something even worse, only then you realize and appreciate what life has to offer.
2) Things happen for a reason - that no matter small the things that is in your life, it happen at the precise moment and not one moment sooner or later. Right on the dot as the saying goes.We might not be able to comprehend the change at that time but the more we ponder over the issue the more we will realize that it is for our betterment in the long run. Human nature, never want to change more so when in their comfort zone but change for the betterment is good.
3) Pray with a sincere heart. Be precise on what you want from God. Let me cite an example and this might amuse some, if you are asking for a new camera from God, well you should be precise with the model and the brand that you want and hopefully if you have been good you might get in somehow and in some form. As I believe God has to change also and cater for our ever so demanding needs. I mean if you get a Canon Camera but was eying a Nikon camera then you cannot blame God for the mistake but yourself. Hilarious right :)
4) If you plan something so rigidly and it does not work in the manner that you want it to work, never mind and do not be stressful about it. As the sayings goes " man can plan but only God decides if the plan should be executed or not " Well that is why before doing, just for a minute take a minute to pray!
5) Decide that love has a level of its own. Love does not mean it should be all that mushy mushy stuff but it can be on a different scale and level. One must not think that love is categorized into the normal stuff of man and woman, siblings and parents and family which is the normal thing now. Love does not necessary mean physical contact, does it ? I thought so when i was much younger and how naive of me back then. Now i have come to realize that love has stages in life. Love does not mean you must see that person day in day out. Love also means that person could be hundred of miles away from you yet you he or she is in your thought and mind. Remember when you sneeze and someone says that your loved ones is thinking of you, maybe there is some reality to that thinking. Love can come and go and change and be routine but i feel love should be sustain the test of time and tested.
6) Trust is important in any sort of relationship in any form may it be in a family, friends or relatives. Once the trust is betrayed then there is nothing left in the relationship. Trust to undertake a task is very important in our daily lives! Only with trust earned are respected in our society now days.
7) Happiness is a state of mind. I learn i can frown as much as i want but nobody is going to help me to bring happiness but myself. I can choose to be happy or miserable and the choice is within me. If i choose to be happy then i generate happy vibes which can be detected by others and therefore create a happy atmosphere and likewise. This is why children and animals can detect our vibes since they are more sensitive than us. Children know when a parents has had a bad day at work and would offer a hug or so. Well just choose the happiness that you want to be and if you choose to be sad and grumpy and miserable and full of complaints then you should also be prepared to justify your choice.
8)Be thankful for what you have in life.. What ever you have is what you are meant to have. Not everyone have the comfort of driving JOY but at least you have a mode of transport to take you from one place to another. Some people do not even have one and I have seen this for real. I am pampered but my trip to India did bring a change in me that life is no what it seems. We should not take things for granted. I never had psp or vacation overseas but then i reflect back i got to spend time with my both late grandfathers which is priceless!
I can go on and on but i think that is a lot for you to digest for today!
Take care and have a great week ahead. Live life to the fullest and love comes from anyone !
