No idea why I uploaded that picture. But somehow or rather, I like the picture. How the blurriness can hide my inconceivable flaws!

Anyhoooos....

"Doesnt mean your eyes are open, you can see"

Yes, something about this phrase got me wondering. Almost everyone in this world think they know everything. They claim that they are 'experienced' and have been through various walks of life. Yeah right.

Have you been to third world countries? Where poverty is spelled eminently everywhere? Where children as young as 5 carries the burden of a 25 years old?

Or have you gone through complicated hardships that looks as if there is no way to overcome it?

I know I don't. Yet there are some people out there who claimed they do. People who lives in comfort and lead a normal life. The problem they talk about is their 'complicated lovelife'. Pfft. Just because they are going through a rough patch in their relationship, they feel like the world is crumbling down and it's eating them alive. Slashed their wrists, seek attention while people look on and scoff.

Moving on. Let's talk about stress. Stress is always there for us. It seems as if stress has something unpleasant in store for us. When we come to the point of breaking down due to a massive amount of stress, we simply give up. I know how it feels to go through the challenges of stress, so does everyone else. We can never avoid it, and in my point of view, stress can be converted to something positive. Use stress as a factor which motivates us. Motivates us to strive harder, work harder and achieve something worthwhile, through hard work and effort, we can definitely get what we want within our grasps. It basically boils down to how we react. approach and overcome stress.

I admit, I always give up so easily. When something hard crops up, either I procrastinate or come up with various ridiculous reasons to avoid it. As time goes by, the problems build up and eventually, I will have to face a BIGGER amount of stress. For example, an important test is coming up, and I 'decided' to study. Once I turned on the computer, and my eyes are glued to the screen, I said,

"Tomorrow then I would study. Promise."

And unsurprisingly, this vicious circle repeats again and again till the very day before the exam. Thats where I would panic and screw up everything. When I fail the test, I get dissapointed, give up, feel like cowshit without realising the fact that I did not even put in any effort for the test. The effort I put in was, last minute mugging, which NEVER HELPS at all. Ironically I still had the cheek to say,

"Ehhh. How come I fail sia? I study whattt!"

If I could, I would slap myself countless times, wake myself up from the lies I've been endrowning myself in just to feel 'right'. Haha.

Therefore readers, nothing is impossible. Challenges in life are inevitable, stress is unavoidable, but putting in effort seems to be kinda elusive don't ya think? There is no secrets to success. It's all HARD WORK and PERSEVERANCE.
