Jesus said,'Love your enemies, pray for those who hurt you'. Maybe it didn't mean anything to you, it may not even sound logic to most people, but yet again, there are people who are able to live on these few words and seek peace for themselves. He even said, 'when people strikes you on your left cheek, turn the other one to him as well'. What I'm trying to say here is, why revenge? What benefits do you gain? It may be 'sweet' for a moment, but not for long. Soon enough you'll be engulfed by your own guilt.
This is my way of living,'Forgive and Forget'. If by any chance you're thinking of taking revenge, remember what i've said here. Whatever injuries people inflict on you, if you are taking revenge, that injuries will too, be inflicted on the person who hurt you, and they never end. Unless of course, someone stops. 'Hatred only leads to more hatred'.

Memories
Memories, to me, are the past experience that we went through. Whatever delightful, remain as what we call 'sweet memories', and the sorrowful ones, we call 'bitter memories'. Well practically, they are the same. Happy or not, those are what we battle through, we survive, and will remain in our mind for a long long time.
Here's a quote for you, 'memories are not to hold you down, but to guide you forward'. Cherish the happy ones, and take the unhappy ones as a test.

Tomorrow
'Leave yesterday behind, tomorrow awaits'. Well i just thought of something like that. What i'm trying to say here is that, no point crying over spilt milk. Even if the worst event fell on you now, stand up again the next minute. As we heard very often, we must look forward. Whatever happened, already happened. Get hold of yourself and face the fact that it happened.
As mentioned, life is never ending with challenges. If we are to get hold back for one obstacles, what about the rest? It is not as though we're not allowed to grieve or saddened by some painful memories, but whatever happens, there are always light beyond darkness. It is just up to us whether to seek for it. When you ignite the flame of courage in yourself, take my words for it, u will light up hope for yourself.
That's why, get hold of yourself! Tomorrow will be a brand new day for those who live with hopes and aims. Turn darkness into light, and live well.

Live life to the fullest
One of my favourite sayings of all, 'live life to the fullest, otherwise, you might as well don't live at all'. We come to this world thanks to our parents. Our father worked hard to brought us up as who we are today. Our mother bear all pain while giving birth, and put in patience to educate us.
If you're one of those person out there who complain of how unfortunate your life had been, then u might as well end your life. This at least reduce your pain and agony, but also reduce such 'cowards' on Earth. Always try to go on the bright side. The world is never dark to the extend of not having any hope, or no reason to live on. If you are to end your life, you not only reveal your lack of courage to face the world, but also disappoint those who put hope in you.
Few of my friends went through some of the darkest moments in their life, and are able to stand up again to live as they are now. These people have put away their disappointment and face the challenge like a hero. In the end, they succeed. They too, came from a mother's womb. If they can do it, why not us? Anyway these challenges in life may only come once. Why not take it?
Just remember we only live our life once. Even if u believe in afterlife, at least bring all happy memory along. Cherish every moment, and live like you never live before...

Why Worry?
Another old saying, 'worry is like a rocking chair,u go back n forth, but it wont get you anywhere'. How far do you agree with it? I'd say that i'm not against, but yet again, not completely agree. Worrying has been one of human's nature. We worry because we love, or even up to the extend of afraid. Give for example, when ur love ones are not home yet at 12, wouldn't it get you anxious? That shows we're worry, and at the same time, it shows that we care and love.
However, at times, when something is done already, why worry? Nothing can be changed. We bear the fruits we planted. How much we put in, is how much we get in return. Worrying in this situation does not only make us increasingly stress, but also might lead us to wrong decisions and divert our priority.
Nevertherless, worrying is a perfect stimuli to make people improve. We human tends to learn after making mistakes. Therefore, after the first failure, we will get worry if this failure is to repeat, and thus, improve ourself.

Adjusting the sail
Heard of the quote 'u may not be able to control the wind, but u can always try adjusting the sail'? Well i heard of it frm a lame video over youtube, but ever since it had never leave my mind, constantly reminding me of things i've done.
The quote simply mean, things may get complicated at times, a lot of happenings that may not go the way we want them to be. Such events can be frustrating, and may eventually force us to give up on whatever task, or our objective. But frankly speaking, nothing in this world is fair. Fair and justice only exist in ourself. That's why, if we are to give up on life, DO NOT even think of putting the blame on the matter, it's US who have chose to give up. That is why, the wind may be giving us trouble, and leading us the wrong way, but we can always try adjusting the sail and get back on track.
Look back at the things we have done so far. All achievements and failures. Why are there achievements? It is because we learned from our mistakes from the failures, and eventually improve ourself, to achieve success. It doesn't matter if we have make any mistakes, as long as we learn from them, and it's never too late to do so.

Dreams...
The other day, someone gave me an idea to start my 'journey' here. To list out the things i wanted to achieve in life, or in short my dreams. Honestly, i do not have much of dreams, but i know some of the common dreams people would dream of. Such as:
1) to get rich
2) to have a happy family
3) to hit a jackpot
4) to have a beautiful wife/handsome husband
5) to have a peaceful and simple family of 5
6) to have two sons and one daughter or vice versa
Those mentioned are commonly the thoughts if adults. As for teenagers or younger generations, they probably would have:
1) to have a wide network of friends
2) a nice girlfriend/boyfriend
3) to have enough money to spend
4) to hang out with friends
5) to pursue their ambitions
6) to try something they never attempted
7) to have an easy life
