Got a facebook message from one of my bestest buddies this week.. and understand her situation.. i respect her ability to be independent.. because i think it is important to do so while we were still young, and i definitely will support her regardless of whatever decision she made.. after all, we are young adults and we are bound to have challenges and our ups and downs.. but isn't it because we suffer before, we tasted the bitterness before, so when we achived success.. the effect is double the sweetness because we achieved something with our own bare hands? the older generation called us the strawberry generation, well, this is a chinese term and it means we have a good life all along hence we do not have such great capabilities as they have when they were at our age.. lets prove them wrong, we have our own way of doing things and succeeding it, although less on physical work and more on brain work now..
i know each individual in this world have their own obstacles, but i think it is up to us to decide and achieve whatever we want in life.. and for that, it is important to stay constantly strong and aggressive.. like teng teng, who is aiming her best for masters, so is ruomei.. and now she knows what is right and what is wrong.. she have the courage to do everything on her own because she got horrible assignment groupmates.. but we as nottingham graduates, we have each other at heart.. so despite suffering, we have each other to spit out to and we will feel better then..
but when it comes to office, i cant help but to feel how quite a few colleagues i know have such depressing view of life.. i dunno.. but i disagree and dislike their pessimistic view of life.. for instance, i have a senior who came in every morning without fail, will say one of the following... headache/backache/stomachache/chest pain/ want to puke.. i am not condemning her but i cant help feel sorry for her in a way.. life is what we make it out to be and we control it with our minds.. thats why i totally agree with the teachings of the law of attraction.. i know life is tough but whether we are up to undertake the challenge or not is like i said, totally up to us.. and once a decision is made, make sure you would not regret.. be ready to face all challenges that will appear in the road taken..
and another one.. is even worse, because he is a guy... and why do i feel that i am more independent and mature than him? he got into the department i so desperately want, and yet, do not appreciate the opportunity given.. keep complaining managers rushing him in work and all and too much work and have to stay late up to work.. which is to me, if you do not go through all of these.. how on earth are you ever going to be a capable senior? how to get promoted fast? such a softie, especially for a guy... which i think such guy is unreliable.. yes, work is busy and suffering but we have to go through it, no pain, no gain.. this phrase have been so popularly used by my grandfather and mother and i have seen such examples in myself in my own life.. but his view and whatever from his mom was.. there is no need to commit so much in a job that will tire you out.. whatever happened to aggressiveness, sense of achievement and passion?
hence, facing such people in my life.. i have to ensure myself being strong constantly so that i am not easily influenced by them..i want achievement and i know life ahead will be more challenging since i am about to start my half working, half studying life.. gulp.. sounds a bit scary but i will try my very best to juggle both at one go and to be able to achieve both well.. what mustafa said just now in facebook chat is absolutely right.. while we are young, take all the challenges.. funny how we can suddenly chat.. because i dont think i ever noticed him at all in uni.. or even talk at all.. its just a facebook add and we start chatting already.. thats weird.. but he seems like a nice guy..
