Sometimes things just don't happen the way it should, but does that mean we just stand there and cry? Sure, for a while maybe, but after that, life goes on. No one's gonna stand there and watch you cry your whole life away, they'll just walk off.
Yeah, I can tell you that. My team didn't get into finals, but so what? I've gotten over it. The other team got in, and I'm truly happy for them. Sure I've cried over not getting in, but life still goes on. You ask me what I did to cheer myself up? I went for service and lifted it all up to the One who was grieving when He saw me cry. You see, when I'm sad, He's even sadder. When I'm happy, He's elated.
If you say you want to do well, if you say you want to make a difference, then you can't just stop there when you meet an obstacle. Life doesn't work like that.
Someone once asked me, " If you are a Christian, and your God does miracles, and if you all claim that He has a plan for you in life, if He can do everything, then why do you still have troubles?"
"Because everything was planned. Whatever adversity I go through, it is for my best. And it is only through these adversities that I renew my faith, that my trust in Him is strengthened."
Failures? Everyone has them. No one person has never encountered failure in their lives. Failure brings disappointment. I'm afraid of failing, too, but so what? Does that mean we just stop there and stop trying after one failure? I'd rather try many times, fail many times, then no never try at all. I'd rather fail physically then fail spiritually, because I know, that whatever I sow, I shall reap hundred fold in time to come.
My list of embarrassments and failures is extensive. But compare that list to the list that the One has meant for me to do, the former's just so small.
"who cares about getting into the finals? We know we deserve to be there and getting the top 10. or even top 5. Who cares about what they think. Team 2 did great. The scores just didn't capture that greatness."
This was what one of my squadmates said after we knew about our failure, so to say. This is a competitive world. Everyone's fighting for the top positions in life. Yet how many can actually reach the peak?
FAILURE
Fail Again.I Lift Up Reality Effusively
Sounds weird, but true. I lifted up all my failures into His hands.
Sometimes people don't act the way we want them to. But what can we do? Everyone's different. Do we hide in one corner and cry? No. We step out to face the person. Life is a lifestyle of service. We serve and help one another. If service did not come first, then there would not be any cleaners, teachers, government officials, civil servants... You get my point.
Failure is but another way for you to realise your mistakes and to keep on moving.

If only they had invented an object that can let people know how discouraging they are.
If you want to "advise" me, can you first look at yourself? If you can achieve it, then I'll gladly listen to your advice. But if you can't, then save it. No one will listen to you.
I guess my attitude towards her has changed slightly. Forgive and forget. I shall forget. Yes.
Sometimes I just don't know what to do. A true friend will point out to you your mistakes and be there for you, help you to correct your flaws. Yet a true friend accepts you for who you are. Sometimes, do we just point out a flaw to the person? Different people have different reactions. Some will listen to it, some will get angry with you. But I guess a true friend should tell her what others dislike about her and help her change. So what if she decides to be angry with you? Someday, she'll realise that. If she doesn't, then I guess she's just too lost in her own little world.
How does one set an example for the younger? By breaking every single rule you know about? How will your siblings take it? Will they know the right from wrong when they see their elder sibling doing this too? As an elder sibling, I think you have an inborn responsibility to look after your younger ones, set an example for them to look up to. As the leader, if you don't do your best, you're depriving the others of receiving something that's worthy of them.

Just realised how biased some people can be. I mean, so what if they're popular? So what if they've something different from us? Does it mke huge difference? Aren't we all human? Isn't what which matters our personality and character? Why do people just focus so much on their "speciality", when its not what makes them that. Yet it's because people treat them differently because they're "different", which is why they start to treat others like scum.
Does talking to the person help? I wonder if they realise how much trouble they're causing for us while they pamper them.
They trained them, yet they neglected us then. May I know the logic in it?
You called us without potential, yet time again and again we proved to you that we are able to live up to the mark, yet you still choose to humiliate us in the worst way possible.
a fourth of my life. It hurts, you know. Ever gotten scolded by someone you look up to because of something you did not do? because that person just happened to be someone close to you? i check myself, I realise my mistakes and i will change. if you continue the humiliation, i don't think I can take it much longer.

I guess I'm back. Not for long though.
so many thigns have happened these days. I have no idea why they're doing this. I don't care what they do after THAT, but for NOW, can't they, like, recognise who's who? I mean, they aren't idiots or anything, or do they just love the feeling of humiliating us?
Nevre thought they'd do something like this. Totally unexpected of someone of their calibre. But who am I to judge? I'd leave the judging to Someone who's qualified, because He's perfect.
