Don't believe winning is really everything. Its more important to stand for something. If you don't stand for something, what do you win?

Life is a bit like a ladder. To move up, we have to fix the step we're on - whether is it cca, studies, relationships, money, blah blah. Once the step is fixed, we move to the next step. People handle their steps in different ways:
" i hate this step - i wnat to on a different one." thats when we stay stuck.
" i want someone else's ladder." that's called jealousy.
" to hell with this ladder - i'm jumping off." that is called suicide.
Whenever we are stuck. we might ask ourselves: " what haven't i fixed?"
When does life get simpler? It doesnt!
But you can handle it better.
We keep thinking that once we get past primary school, jc, uni, puberty, once we go to work, life will get easier. It doesnt! All of us are constantly challenged.
When things get too easy, we look for more problems. We say to ourselves:" i can do this with eyes shut! i need a challenge." when life gets too simple, we start a family! when the house is paid off, we buy a bigger one! it's not just the world that complicates our life, we do.

Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.
It is not what happens to us in life that determines our happiness so much as the way we react to what happens.
Blah blah might on having lost his job, decide that he now has the opportunity to have a new work experience, to explore new possibilities & to exercise his independence in the workplace.
His brother Lala might under the same circumstances, decide to jump off a twenty storey building & end it all.
Given the same situation, one man rejoices while the other man commits suicide. One man sees disaster & the other man sees opportunity.
Being happy is not always easy, though. It can be one of the greatest challenges that we face & can sometimes take all the determination, persistence & self-discipline that we can muster.
Maturity means taking responsibility for our own happiness & choosing to concerntrate on what we got rather than on what we haven't.
