Lessons in Life I

Alright, no photos for now but just to share some thoughts that is on my head for the last few days. Well, it is not much of a thought but more like sharing my point of view of certain things that I come to realize, I called them Lessons in Life.

Rainbow

For the last few days, due to the weather, I was very fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the beautiful rainbow, a pity I didn’t have my camera with me to take those shots.

As I was admiring the rainbow, I came to realize one thing. Rainbow can only appear when there is sun and rain. When it is a sunny day, it is all bright and beaming, when it is a rainy day, it is all dark and gloomy. There is no sign of rainbow when the weather is in these 2 extremes.

Same thing in life, when your life is all smooth sailing and peaceful, people tend to take these good times for granted and take it without effort, when your life full of rough edges, people tends to grow depress and down and feel miserable about life.

When life is good, people will learn to realize the values of things and treasure it after they encounter some down period. When life is bad, people will learn to see hope in everything after they experience the warmth and see the way out in hopeless situation. This is very much like seeing a rainbow only when there is sun and rain.

Hence in life, it is very normal to have ups and downs. All you need to do is to press on and you will be able to see and appreciate the rainbow. So, hope that the rainbow in your life will appear soon.

Connecting the Dots

The next story I am going to share is about connecting the dots. I remembered posting a speech by Steve Jobs about his life story and connecting the dots. Well, I will just share my thoughts about connecting the dots.

For the last few days, I have been doing some investigative work in Clubsnap and some how, I was able to connect the dots on how things happen and how things are related. It just strikes me that I can connect the dots rather well.

However, when I look at my life and where I am heading to, I don’t seem to be able to connect it, or in another words, I cannot find where my next dot is. I was rather stressed and down for not been able to see where am I heading to next.

After doing some deep thinking and reflection, I came to realize something. It is usually easier to connect the dots when looking backwards instead of looking forward as we all are still looking for the next dot to move to. It is only after certain things had happen that we can understand the rationale behind and see the bigger picture.

The next dot in life is always a mystery, no point for us to worry about it, but the thing is to be ready and take it as it comes and understand how this dot is part of the roadmap to a bigger picture.
