"If you work harder, you will get luckier" per Anita Sarawak dictum.

what are your wishes for the new year? health, wealth or mirth? world peace? stop kidding.

when you closes your eyes, cross your fingers and start to pray for what you wishes for, do you ever think of those that living in poverty and starving, struggling to live? actually we have been blessed, just that we never come to realize it. we have everything that we are having, we wish, we want and we desire for, but still, we keeps on complaining. basically we grouch and grump on everything. we never shows satisfaction, nor grateful, at any moment. how many times do we say "thank God" per day? we never show appreciation and indemnity, to Him, or anyone.

life is never easy, it is complicated. life is just like ray of sunlight. it is always "white" in color, but when it go through the prism, then you will have the composition of 7 colors. isn't it just like our normal life? it looks so plain, but everyday we will go through happiness, sorrowfulness, sweetness, bitterness, sourness, spiciness and setback. ain't all the colors make the rainbow so beautiful? if you never use the prism, how are you going to appreciate the rainbow? equivalently, if you never gone through hardships, how are you going to appreciate the colors of life?

what you sow is what you reap, i always hold on to this idiom. obstacles in life make us grow, disappointment make us strong, backstabbing makes us intrepid, we learn from everything, especially when we make mistake, don't you agree? sometimes we are really helpless in some situation, there is none of our fault to encounter this conundrum, we are not the source of the dilemma, but because of someone, then we have to face it even we are unwillingly to handle it, involuntarily. because of love, we do our best to rage the battle, in order to uproot and subjugate the bugbear. even though sometimes we are exasperate, and our hope is frail, but there is always light in darkness, there is always someone that willingly to lend the shoulder for us to rely on. there is always hands to reach out for. so why you easily say out "giving up"?

you might be defeated physically and bodily, but never ever give up your faith and hope. be mindful, your life in your hand, no one should ever try to spoil or destroy it. why you want to loathe and suffer yourself? why not let it go and start to enjoy your life? life is so beautiful and wonderful, don't you think it is a waste to detest someone while you can actually relish every moment of your life?

there are still many living in so miserably life, they lack of everything, they almost having nothing. as compare yourself to them, why you want to say give up? even though they have a hard living that you and me will never ever can make it through, but they survive, and they appreciate their life and gratify every moment. calm yourself, rest your mind and take a deep breath, you should be able to find a way to overcome the crux.

there is always hope and help, you just need to reach out your hand. new year is coming, try to eliminate the negativeness and welcome the positiveness to yourself, there is no windfall, so work hard and build a better life for you and your love one. all the best to you, my young friend.
