As we go on~

The Xmas celebrations are up already! Though it's like more than a month before Xmas..
All the trees were decorated
This is like so fast and early!
And it also marks the end of the year already, which some people are dreading while some others are looking forward..
5 months ago we've realised it's aready 0.5 years..then when reached september in a blink of eyes, again..
Ouch...
And now Xmas..

Just realised that when we're studying, we look forward to graduating
But those that are working ones, are dreading the fact that they're losing directions and motivations..
Sometimes, when I look at those older senior people, I would wonder if they've had those dilemmas and worries and lack-of-motivations life as we are
And how strong they would have been in order to reach such an old age?

Reminds me of a conversation with someone close to me 2 days ago

A rich company director pensioner was strolling on a beach on a fine evening when he spotted a young man of early 30s lying on the sand and looking at the sky. They both smiled and this retiree asked him, "Young man, I see you doing nothing except lying here all day. Why you didn't work hard to earn more money at such a young and energetic age?"
The young man replied politely, "For what I should earn more money?"
The retiree said, when I was as young as you, I worked very hard and earn lots of money. When I'm retired, like right now, I'm reaping the fruits that I've sowed many years ago, by going on holidays, staying in luxurious hotels and like right now, relaxing by the beach and enjoying the world.
The young man replied, "And isn't that what I'm doing right now?"

We always keep telling ourselves, keep going, keep going!
Is there a valid motivator that pushes us right now? Are the goals relevant and worth it?
I don't know.

One thing for sure, we cause more unhappiness when we set higher goals that we can't make it real at the moment. The higher we set, the deeper are our cravings and the worst are our feelings.
Simplicity is always the best!

I don't want a suffering life, as life is really short.
Treasure the moments ok?

So long~
 

Do all things happen for a reason?

I used to believe that things happen for a reason.
Really..
For everything that has been happening
Though rarely, but surprisingly, despite how bad the situation is, I still managed to find a good reason behind it


But not for this particular event
I doubt it!
Why shouldn't it be the way I wished for, just for this case?
Sigh

Alright alright, things happen for a reason
Will take time to ponder on this
