Click

"They always chase the rainbow for the pot of gold at the end of it, but when they reach the end, it was just cornflakes."
Click is a movie starring Adam Sandler talks about a workaholic, who doesn't have time for anything else but work. He then finds a universal remote control that controls his universe. He can stop, rewind and fastforward his universe using the remote control. Due to being fed up with all the crap taken from work and family, he then overuse the remote control until it in the end controlled his life. At the end, Adam Sandler wakes up realizing that everything was just a dream and learned the value of family and relationships.

I forgot where i heard this.. it said something like... Life is made up of 3 Glass Balls and 1 rubber ball (i think). The 3 glass balls were - family, friends and health, while the rubber ball was work/ career. You see... when you aren't able to balance out everything, you drop the 3 glass balls and it may never return again, it will never be whole again unlike the rubber ball that will always bounce back.

It is rather hard to balance out everything. A lot of people knows that "family" should be their top priority and most of the case, it is. But inoder to make that "family" happy, sometimes you gotta work hard... real hard to give them a better life because you want them to live without worries on material things etc. that is why you see... there arises conflict. No matter what, it is always best to be able to balance everything out. You have to start one by one. Most importantly you have to start somewhere. The question is Where to start? It is really difficult especially when you realize that you don't have much time left. That time really is Gold and you have to treasure every moment every minute of it.

知足....

以前我原本以为我是个很容易知足的人... 但现在我慢慢发现自己跟以前差很多... 变的是好还是坏..我不敢肯定... 只是比较讨厌现在的自己...

又快要过年了... 这两年以来..对我来说真的是我一生当中最难忘的两年吧.. 我确实学了很多东西,同样也发现原来自己有太多事情不懂..不会去处理... 我根本对自己一点信心也没有. 我没有信心能够胜任下一次要做的事情... 不管是那一个方面对我来说..我是个失败者.

我记得以前我说过生命就像一个赌博, 永远不能知道最后是战胜了还是败了,只是看赌得有没有意义..有没有那个价值. 虽然我懂这个道理但永远不能够实际的体会到这个道理.

我永远都不懂得去珍惜现在所拥有的东西, 永远不懂珍惜身边的人...永远只会去想以后的事情... 去忧愁... 真的很笨哦.. 每次都在抱怨..每次都在叹气...

为什么要知足快乐那么难呢??
