life's ups and downs..

One day you feel like you are the top of the world, the other day, you feel like everything has let you down. This is the riddle of life. Nothing is permanent in this world. For those who've realised this truth, they would not have any problem adapting when things do not turn out well. But, for those who think they're invincible, they are heading for a big trouble when everything around them is no longer in their favour.

That's why it's always best to be humble. Every one is just the same in this world. The world is so big and all of us are just tiny ants in it. There's no point in being so cocky because anything can happen at anytime. Fame, wealth, etc. none of these things would last forever. It could just disappear in the blink of an eye. Being students, it's better to share your knowledge rather than being 'kiasu' or selfish. The more you teach others, the more you would learn eventually.

Also, there's no point in being jealous with others who are in a better position than you, because that person probably would have worked harder to be there. Nothing can be done by just being jealous. All of us should instead turn that negative energy into positive emotion to try to change ourselves to reach greater heights. But, this doesn't mean that you have to pray that the other person should be doomed. Life is a circle, if you are true to yourself and you acknowledge your inner strengths and weaknesses and accept them, you can make a difference too and become a better person in the future.

friendship

For some, this word probably signifies nothing. For me, it’s the purest form of relationship that requires both parties to trust and love each other with no strings attached. I have had so many friends and faced so many problems because of faulty friendship.

I do not understand why some people just cannot be true friends, especially girls. They just tend to let jealousy and every other minor issues to get in between their friendship. Nowadays, most people just use this term to benefit them as though friendship is a form of business. I have tried so hard to be a good friend and still find it very hard to maintain a friendship for a long time. I feel that I'm being used by my friends for their own benefits at times. I do not really get their concept of friendship. They have to understand that I am most certainly not a machine. They need to realise that friendship is not a ladder or tool to achieve greater heights in life. I have kind of started to give up on friendship. People should learn to treat friendship with a great deal of respect. A friend who gives a lot and expects nothing much in return is hard to be found nowadays.

The scar caused by betrayal of close friends although might take a longer time to heal, will heal eventually I suppose. Cheers to finding more true and lasting friendship :)
