differing flairs & strokes are enablers to ease life pressures...
When you are under 20yo, there is no stress except you need to study well & learn some skill sets
Well, the teens call this period the Generation-Gap! The only gap is income gap where their parents earned and pay for their education and growing up years while they do next to nothing but 'paid' to study & learn
When you start working to make a living, it is too late to reminisce the easy under 20yo
Growing up, unlike the flow of water, never [seldom] backflow
Rivers can experience temporary backflow, often due to tidal action or weather events, like strong winds or heavy rainfall which can cause rivers to temporarily flow backward & geological events, like earthquakes or landslides, not unlike river reversals; these actions are not normal
Man can only live and act forward
Whatever happen, some routes are necessary in the journey towards better days; sufferings are subsets embedded to test your resolve
The first officially recognized sub-10 second 100m sprint was achieved by Jim Hines at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, with a time of 9.95 seconds. Between then and now, 190 persons had done under 10sec, with the current record of 9.58 seconds set by Usain Bolt in 2009; a monumental achievement
Victory is sweet but how much sacrifices and effort were expended and pains pricked and tears fell before the fruits of achievements crystalize
Ultimately, the successful ~ politicians, entrepreneurs, artistes, chefs, whoever... ~ never talk about their failures and sufferings. WHY? Successful people have no time to waste over 'spilled water'; their goal is to SUCCEED & success speak loudest
Be yourself ~ you are unique
Stress, depression, distressed, anxieties and mental disorientation occur when you seek perfection
Fighting for rights and equality are ideals, not readily available to the poor, weak and frail
In any uncomfortable and stressful situations, seek to minimize all comforts, eat enough to live, speak less(er), stay healthy, remained cheerful & stay alive - live best while others live worst - await your opportunity
Anything, and in any environment, that are beyond your control, go along and go with the flow - do not swim against the tides
Live to fight another day
Be positive, remain sane and calm
For the better or worse, everything changes over time - when you are at your lowest, there can only be a 'turn around & uptick'
Before SG's GE25, there were loads of dissatisfaction, complaints, ideas origination and suggestions, cries of struggles and screams of indignation but the outcome were starkly different: >65% supported the existing environment and policies
What above had demonstrated were: in period of uncertainties, people prefer to stick to the "known & usual" than to seek new routes and change
The determination & capability to survive vary
Live like the willow tree that dance in the storm and await the passing of the ill-winds than the grand oak tree that fell
When you walk away from the crowd, peace returns
Many worry about 'what others say or think of them', 'wait for a better time', 'tolerate the innuendoes', 'live up to another's expectation', 'become a worries [mental garbage] dump'...
Not too long after you're gone, nobody remembers you
But, BUT... if your time is not up, you will not die. Henceforth, it is best to live a fruitful & fulfilling life
Live now. Live the very moment as tomorrow is never promised 活在当下 明天和意外不懂哪个先到
