humans are so funny…..
Okie, I admit, I am a human too. As all of my readers notice, I have been complaining my about my work since I started this blog. Since a couple of months ago, I was really down, no matter how people try to make me feel good or shown me the facts that I shouldn’t be feeling annoyed and so on, the golden words just don’t register in my mind.
And just today morning, I just suddenly and I really mean suddenly, I was enlighted. My Mind quoted itself:"Hey, it’s another shitty day for another shitty workload, just enjoy the shitty moments, may be you can find something real cool out of it!" And all a sudden I was feeling more optimistic about work, me, and life. Funny….
I have a very good friend who is now in UK. Let me do a background on him. He is a divorcee, caught his wife and another man in bed, his son was only 7 then. He owns a chinese takeaway and he really has the cooking skills to make sure his business blossoms, but it didn’t. He is living a very tough life and I really mean it, he is basically living in poverty. He is in shit since the day he divorce.
But it didn’t stop him from surviving, He stills run his shop, best of all with his income, he still do loads of charity. I was impress by his personality and I ask him don’t you feel that the world and God treats you with unfairness? and he answered:" I did, but I was just enlighten and I opened up to accept the challenges in life with a positive mind." I never really didn’t understand much, but he told me that in time I will understand." I always remembered what he quoted:" Your heart is like a window, and you holds the key to it, no matter how people talk sense to you, if you do not open the window, it really means nothing. When you open the window, you will find that the world is actually not bad at all and you will not be the top of the shitlist. There is always people shittier than you and there are people less shittier than you, you will always be in the center" End quote Well, these are actually my translated version and what I understand from his quotes, he sounds more "art" when he quoted me.
So, shitty is always better than no shit. No shit you are scared to get dirty, when you already have shit, it really doesn’t matter anymore………

Just read your blog, glad you’re feeling better.
But, then again, knowing you as well as I do, this feeling of euphoria is only a false illusion, and you’ll go back to whining and complaining once this feeling passes.
Just remember this: Enlightenment is not the end to your troubles, just like scoring all A1’s is not a guarantee of lifelong success. It is merely the beginning of an extremely exciting journey, aptly named LIFE.
And it seems that you have begun quite well indeed, my friend.
