learning to love what you do

Here's another cheesy post just because I read something somewhere. HAHA! Yes, I'm going to sound really cheesy again but I am proud so let me.

"Some people get to do what they love. I'm glad I get to love what I do."

Yes, I'm quite sure I've mentioned this before. But this dear friend of mine made me realise how yes, that's how you should live your life. You may not always get to do what you love. As a job or whatever. Sometimes, we end up having a job that may not be something we love. But we learn to love it. And that will make a world of difference.

So yes, here, I'm going to remind myself to find the beauty in economics. Yes, it isn't easy. It's crazy hard. I may not like it very much now. It is not something I love to do. If given a choice, of course I would so much rather choose something that I love doing instead of this. But yes, life doesn't always work this way. Sometimes, we have to learn to love what we are doing. Initially, we may not like it. But after awhile, if you see things in a different way, you may learn to love it and appreciate it and that will make everything a lot better.

To be true, I know this concept since very long ago because I wrote "Love Chinese" and "Love Physics" on a paper that is still pasted on my study table ever since sec 3 or sec 4. Yes, at that time, I really had trouble with these 2 subjects and kinda hated them. So yea, it's this concept of loving what you are doing instead of hating it and complaining about it and not enjoying every bit of it. Learning to appreciate it, to love it, it's going to make everything so much better. When you see the better side to things.

I still have a lot of things to figure out but I guess things like that take time. You have to plan out your time really well because let's face it, life is short. Time is limited. Time waits for no man.

"We don't determine the conditions and circumstances, but we can all make decisions, and ultimately the decisions make us."

Decisions. We make them. Yes, God leads us to them. But ultimately, you have to decide. God will guide you along but if you just sit there and expect decisions to be made just like that, then why will God help you and lead you along? If you just sit there and expect help, who is going to help you? You need to move forward, make decisions and think for your future. Yes, the future is unpredictable. And somewhere along, things won't go according to plan. Heck, things usually never go according to plan. But we still have to have a direction, a plan no matter what. Something to work towards. And be flexible and spontaneous to the changes. Because yes, changes are bound to happen. Things never go according to plan but that doesn't mean we don't need to plan. We still have to plan but we also need to be flexible. To know that things won't always go the way that you want it to. But that doesn't always mean that it's a bad thing. You have to make changes according to the circumstances given. And yes, you plan so much but always remember that no matter what you plan, if it does go according to plan or if it doesn't, enjoy the process. Because that's always the best part.

"Life is a game of choice with a single life and no save points, so you had better make sure it's a good playthrough."

Yes, we only have one life to live. For me, I don't believe in reincarnation. So I believe that this is the only life we get to live and we sure hell ought to make the best out of it. It isn't perfect and it won't ever be perfect. But that doesn't mean that it won't be great. And it is your life. You determine your own life and your own life is the best for you. Don't be envious or jealous of other people's life because you are just wasting your time being jealous when your own life can be great too. Instead of being jealous, do something about your own life that you can be happy and thankful for. Always remember to be thankful. Because we have been given the chance to live this life. Live it well. As long as it's your own life, it will be well.

Don't compare it with others because when you compare, you tend to look at the things you don't have instead of the things you have. And even if you see the things you have as compared to others, this doesn't make their lives less awesome. It's just people living their own different life and as long as you are satisfied and thankful and happy with your own life, that's all that matter. Really.

So ok, instead of typing a cheesy post, I type a more inspirational one. Hopefully it is inspirational of some sort. HAHA! But anyway, those sentences that I quote were from Shaohao's Facebook post. He posted many many stuffs during his span of 8 months in UK and I think I've actually read all of it. Haha! Too free. But after reading them, not only do I feel proud of him, I feel like I gain stuffs from his posts too. And yea, it's really quite awesome. He is like some wise old man. Haha! Sigh, going overseas on the same day he is coming back to Singapore. But yep, he will still be around, and the rest will be around also so yes, I really can't freaking wait to see everyone in one place. Though it's bloody annoying to arrange a time where everyone is free. But yes, I will try to make it happen! Even if it's for dinner or what. I really miss our huge big group outings. Where we make freaking lot of noise. Just because.
