don't you think we are fortunate?

my parents thought me never to compare my studies with someone who is worse of than me but in other matters in life, sometimes its better to compare with those worse off than u.

don't you think we are more fortunate compared to those not eating in sumatra, to those who lost their loved ones in the last tsunami and many-many more natural disasters. don't you think we are more fortunate than those who do not have enough to eat, those who have to survive on only a meal a day?
don't you think you are more fortunate compared to those who can't even get a simple job just because they have a history?
there are endless 'don't yous' if i could list all of them....what im trying to say is be thankful with what you have but of course don't stop there just cos of that, we have to continue striving for the better but of course be contented with what we have. the grass will always be greener on the other side.....

we would always want a nicer shoes, a bigger bike, a bigger house, a thicker wallet but when all those is what you are unable to attain no matter how you tried, always look at the less fortunate....and you'll feel that your fate is nothing compared to theirs.....

life is full of ups and downs.....if u got that very often, count yourself lucky....cos when u go down, you don't feel it that much but those who keeps going up for sometime, when they go down, they go down real hard, slammed to the ground.....
accept everything as a test from God, accept every hardship as a challenge to do better. when something bad happens always think of this and you'd feel better, think that there's always a blessing in disguise.........

enuff with life, me, i was sick....dead sick that i slept the whole of yesterday, now im sleepless, bought papers only to be disappointed with the amount of jobs available fer me....i hope i'd get a job soon...age is catching up, ill be 26 end of this year, i need to start a saving....life in sg, you cant do with no greens...until then, wish me luck guys...
