Interesting isn’t it? I simply recall the times of my failure, during the times when I could not achieve the same as what my friends accomplished, simply because of my carelessness. I took all things lightly about my life and my future, somehow relying on as if someone, somewhere will be there to help me.
Well I know who ever reads will ask, first and foremost didn’t your parents advice you or guide you ah? Weren’t they around you to support and assist you go through on critical stages to give advice on critical decisions?
Parents had always been our first teacher. First counselor. First mentor and trainor. I was blessed with them so I guess the problem is not with them but with me. I did not work hard to achieve the same way others did. I have given and exerted way less than what was needed. I thought I did my best but then my best wasn’t good enough. That is the main reason I am stucked, although I am okay with what I have now BUT still I admit it is my own mistake why I am still at the level of where I am now.
I should have thought TWICE and set my priorities, if that was done sure I would have been in my own country happily enjoying the natural beauty my country can offer and roaming around the world wherever i decide to go. But now I am one of the millions of expats working just merely to survive. Now it’s very HARD time no chance… No one can go back and change the things that had been done.
It’s all SURVIVAL, trust me LIFE is not easy, so I have to work hard to get more… if i get more i can give more, yes precisely. What I’m trying to say is through experience we create wisdom in ourselves. That wisdom will work to prove we have potential and if we nourish our own potential (which is not available in market to buy, yes, not for sale) then people will start watching you asking themselves what is the secret of his success. If you ask, the thing that triggers my potential is my previous failure. Folks there is no magic lamp to give you everything in this world without difficulty. Things don’t happen with a single flip of the finger. There has to be perspiration involve. Trust me I was not aware of my real potential. One day I woke up and realized, there is hidden, idle and sleeping potential deep within the walls of my being. I started asking myself: “Why can’t I do this , why can’t I do that?” “Others can, why cant I?” Then I woke up that enthusiasm, that eagerness, that hunger to get in action and set my mission to get away from this word à SURVIVAL.
I DO HAVE MY POTENTIAL IN ME and am going forward to achieve MY DREAM.
Dream..enthusiasm..determination…aha, that’s the secret Thomas Edison never gave up, was never discouraged nor became hopeless until he successfully perfected his bulb invention which the whole wide world now are grateful for.
“I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison famously said of his lengthy pursuit of a practical prototype.
The point is, what if Thomas Edison stopped exactly on the 9,999th failed attempts and didn’t continue? Just think about it for one minute…
