Life...What about it?

         Some say we should thank God for what we have. That's the truth I think. I’m pretty sure everyone of who is reading this blog is lucky.

         One day, we might get very sad and down or frustrated when things don't go right.

        Spill your coffee on your shirt while you're having your breakfast.

        Couldn't find one of your shoes when you're heading to work/school.

        Got scolded by your parents for sitting in front of the computer too much.

        Got scolded by your teachers for not doing homework.

        Lost your handphone.

        Broke up with your boyfriend/girlfriend.

        Internet server down and you couldn't log on to facebook.

        Having a bad relationship with your friends.

        Someone accuses you of something.

       All these things really make you feeling down. Or you have an even more serious situation where you don't know what to do. You feel like screaming out loud, going crazy or just feel like killing someone.

      By that time, you should relax, calm down, and think positively. Because all of us know, by being angry, you wouldn't help any of the problems but you’ll make them worse.

      I just want everyone to know how lucky we are to have everything.

      ‘When you have nothing, you appreciate everything.’

      There is also a saying in Islam which means:

      ‘Wealth does not come from abundance of goods but from a contented heart.’

       There are many people suffering out there when we are thinking that we are the unluckiest people on earth. When you are reading this blog, there might be people out there dying from hunger, got into a really terrible car crash or even got killed or just anything.

      Please believe that things happen for a reason.  We might not know the reasons yet. Today, I might face the worst day ever. Crying over it or being really mad about it won't help me solve the problem.

      I got this saying from my teacher Lutfur; "When you're mad, you’re burning yourself inside and you're burning others outside"

     I think that is true.

      And remember, don't cry over someone who isn’t worth it. People that are worth crying over won't make you cry. So, if someone breaks your heart, be strong and get over it. Don't let some jerks make you feel down. They aren’t worth it.

      Love yourself and don't hurt yourself.

      I'd like to show you all the people who are really unlucky.

       That is a baby suffering from Harlequin Ichthyosis. Sad right? It's sad to see but have you really imagined what it would be like if you are the baby? Or the mother of the baby?

      That is just one of the people who are suffering. There are still thousands and thousands of cases which we don't know of. That is why I say we are lucky enough.

      So, please, there are many people who are facing more problems than we do. Some people don't even know where their next meal will be coming from, are they going to die or what?

     The problems we are facing are just minor problems compared to theirs. Don't make yourself unhappy over some really small matters.

     Don't think of yourself as a failure. None of us are failures. God created us for reasons. We just need to know what we are meant to be and achieve our goals.

     No-one avoids facing any problems in their lives. What matters is how you solve these problems.

     I admit that I do feel sad or unhappy if something bad happens to me. We are human and we have feelings.

     But, when we fall, what matters is whether we are strong enough to get up. Some people fall down and never get up. So they end up lying on the floor, never being able to continue their walk. They can't get over the past and so they can't go on with the future.

     Confucius said: “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

     Why don't we just take a rest when we fall, and get up again and continue our long journey?

     Sure, we do have times when we are sad, but we have to get over it.

     When bad things happen, it's not the end of the world yet. That is just part of life.

     Finally, I'd like to show you all a very meaningful video clip.

     Enjoy!
