Guess i have been missing for quite sometime, just happen to look through some recent blogs and i found out this really nice post and i would like to share with everyone =)
Do Enjoy!!!
Coffee or Cup?
“The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.”
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said, “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it is just more expensive and some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups.... Then you began eyeing each other's cups.”
“Now consider this”, said the professor, “Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change, the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating on the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Four things to take note in life...
1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
Left with another month over here.
Life here has been really a cool one!
The interesting chapters that i have been through, will remain deep in my heart!
The miserable chapters that i have been through, will be lesson and as time goes by, it will all fades off!
It is a long, yet short period over here since last year! Although everything seems to be perfectly well right now, there are still certain matters that i need to sort out so that it won't be a regretful yet miserable chapter in my life!
Time never awaits people.....
Cherish every single moment with no regrets.....
This is life.....
Same old thing, this is how i am gonna start with. Has been on hiatus for quite sometime.
The past few weeks was rather tiring as i had been up till almost 2-3 a.m in the morning. That's all due to some personal reasons though. =)
Had gone through my US Visa interview last week. Was pretty disappointed at first as they kept my visa on hold, luckily, the US embassy called me up and hence, i can complete my visa application after two days.
Collected my visa and air ticket to US this afternoon. Everything went well.
However, i have also booked my air ticket back to Miri whereby i will be leaving KL on the 10th and back here on the 14th. So, coming to that, i think i left with 3 days to hang out with my friends after my finals. Omg, felt kinda reluctant though, but, can't be help though. Just hope that the whole fall semester will be over in a blink of an eye and so i can meet them in the states again!
And owh, i just love the ADP prom theme this year - "A Night in PARIS". Woohooooo! Its gotta be awesome i suppose so! =)
Nothing much, thats all. Life's pretty good, life's refreshing, life's new..
Its really hard to understand the whole organisation of life and the complexity hidden behind it.
The whole ecosystem of our life consists of more than what we can imagine.
Family, friends, love, studies, work, money, stress, etc.....
Even how much we work for it, sometimes, the complexity of the whole thing that we worked for never come to an end. Its just like playing some games in a big maze garden, after countless effort and time, from second to second, minute to minute, hour to hour, months to months, but eventually, we are still back to the original starting point. I wonder... Is that the complexity of life that actually causes us to lose hope and faith? Or it's all human deeds that causes one to lose hope and faith?
~Its just too hard for me to understand the complexity of the nature of life and human being~
Well, it has been quite sometime since i abandon my blog and i think its time to "revive" it. Yeah, literally revive it! Well, holiday passes in just a glimpse of an eye and now, we are back to our normal college life attending classes every single day! But, its not that hectic at the moment, but i bet i can surely feel the weight on me as time passes day by day! Whatever it is, its time for some reflection bout what I had gone through from my lovely holiday till now! =)
Yeah, life's getting pretty down as u see most of your friends leaving you for their further studies, some literally wanna keep distance with you for some unknown reasons, some has their own business that they did not mean to neglect you and much more. But, thats the fact that i have to accept as time changes, people and things changes! Progress is always the main priority in what we are doing, if there are no progress, then, we won't be able to move forward to better ourselves. Alright, same goes to friendships and anything around us, your friends are leaving for further studies, they have their aim they are progressing, friends leaving u or neglecting you for some unknown reasons, could it be your problem in the other sense? Could it be that you are the one progressing or could it be that they are progressing on and you are not? Well, i am not sure about all this but since i have the time now, its time to reflect back and think hard! I bet you will get a satisfactory answer if you have the will to do so... =)
Well, my rather old looking crumpled and distorted Calculus book which accompanied me for a year and a half, i stared! Have no single idea why this book actually gave me such a great impact but i actually took some time thinking about those times looking at it. Thinking back how i started with the first day of my college in a Calculus class with no direction and idea about what calculus is at the first place! This brought me back to the days where we will actually struggle over simple questions and start scribbling all over our paper. Calculus 1 was rather a disaster for me as i don't have many friends to discuss or hold a group studies with. However, calculus 2 and 3 seemed better for me as i have friends who are willingly to share their knowledge and help out with me when i face difficulties. Though i don't get good grades as compared to my calculus 1, i still find it really nice that i got to work out all this questions and problems that i faced with bunch of my lovely friends! Without them, i think i might score worse than what i can do if i do it all alone!
Paper starts flying around, files starts falling off. As i looked at the huge pile of books and papers, it reminds me of how much we've been through for the past few hectic semesters. The amount of assignments, stress, pressure and challenges that we've conquered! What comes along was all the college drama and pathetic scenes. Totally miss the noise that was produced by some bunch of my friends that actually has a symphony when they were crapping and joking all along which literally will get on my nerves!
Sitting at the hallway, looking from one end, different type of people walking pass, some wasn't a very pleasant sight tho. Now, it felt empty. Things changed. Adaptation occurs.
Reflecting back the time when we were having holiday and yet, a bunch of retards like me who are so keen to know about how we did in our finals for the last semester, i just can't believe that we actually went to the portal to check out whether our result is out yet and some of us even try to guess like when the result will be announced. It was quite exciting in a way, but it definitely draws you off when u found out that you don't get the results that you are supposed to get. Well, no matter how hard we work hard for a thing, at times, they just don't go according to our will. Whats with that right? It really disappoints us very much and you would be literally sad all over it feeling that why is my life so pathetic. Am i really that useless that i can't even achieve a simple dream or target of mine? Well, it happens to everyone that is in that shoes. In order to combat that, we must really have a strong mentality but yeah, as usual, saying is always easier compared to carrying out that particular task. So yeah. I will not comment much about this as well!
Owh, last thing to update! We finally moved out of the 12th floor. To where? The building next to our previous building which used to be the Taylor's Business School!
So what? Nothing much, just that TBS is lower compared to the next building. Has one lift lesser compared to the previous building. Has lifts that are moving at a speed of tortoise. Has no library that is as spacious as compared to last time. Yeah, basically all the cons that we have currently!
So, life is just like a roller-coaster ride. Many unexpected things that will happen. From the turning to the twisting... and all the ups and downs! Its just a typical roller-coaster! =)
Good day everyone!
Challenges are always accompanying us throughout our lifetime...
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into smaller manageable tasks,
and,
Starting on the first one!
Challenge is just inevitable!
Fights in life,
Figures the way.
Face the challenges.
The directive in life is not tat complicated, it can be explained by single words instead of complete sentences!
It sounded like this:
LOOK! LISTEN! CHOOSE! ACT!
~Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life interesting~
