Today is a gift, that's why it is called 'Present'.
Been reading up lately? Heard of the latest book of Spencer Johnson?
Had been flipping through half of the book recently and it got me thinking.
People always say, "Choose the work that you'll be happy doing it, if not change a new job". Some would say, "All works are the same, you should be happy doing with what you are doing." Which is which? To change and choose the environment that suits you, or to change yourself to suit the environment?
I believed that everyone has their own different choice. Some would believe that it's their right to uphold what they think and do, thus, would continue to seek until they found the right environment for themselves. On the other hand, some would think it's too difficult for the environment to change for just one person, so, what's so hard to just change themselves alone and fit in the crowd.
Apparently, there is no obsolute right or wrong in this matter. I would say, it depends on individual and of course the matter pertaining to it.
However, I do agree one point which is, in order to succeed in something, you need to focus and put in your effort in it. You will be truly satisfied by the end result. No wonder they say, the younger you are, the nearer you are to the present and the older you get, the further you seems to be away from it.
No one can give you the present. Only you yourself can give it to yourself. Have you found your present? Why not start lookng for it today. It's never too late achieve something, but only too late to regret upon not trying it.

comfort zone
What are your comfort zones?
Everyone has their own comfort zones, be it in work, in social circle or in life. What are yours? What happens when you reach your comfort zone?
Some people said that one should get out of own comfort zone, then only we can continue to strive and improve ourselves. Because we are in the comfort zone, therefore, we tend to lag behind as we are only doing our usual routine, safe and sound, with no mistakes as we are so used to it.
Well, theoretically, I think it is right, too. Because that is what I would mention to others, too. "Well, I guess we are in the comfort zone, so that's why we feel it's hard to get out of it." But, ain't that is where we would want to reach? Everytime, we started out something new, we would hope to reach a stage that we would finally mastered that particular thing, thus, reaching out for the comfort level.
Seems like, comfort zone should not be our final destination. Instead, it should just be the final step in every stage of life. In life, we have numerous stages to go through, to endure, to fight upon. We should always remind ourselves this point, so that, we will be ever ready to move on and know more about ourselves.
P/S: Personally, I find it hard to jump out of my comfort zone, too. Still, everything is worth a try. No harm to know more what lies over the other side.

pain
A friend of mine just commented on how he's afraid of pain. Well, honestly speaking, who isn't?
Still, we all know that pain is just one of the ways that we have to go through in order to grow up. Yet, how many of us can actually face pain bravely?
Saying is always easier than doing. However, giving up without even trying, just because we are afraid, that's the worst part of all. Everyone is afraid of something, and for some could be everything to. Afraid of falling, afraid of failing, afraid of being hurt, afraid to fall sick, afraid to die, afraid of insects, afraid of height, afraid of dying, the list could go on.
Being afraid to do something would make us missed out the possibilities of that thing happening. Nobody knows what could happened if you get hurt, it could end up in 1001 possibilities how things could end up differently, as long as you take the step to face what you are afraid of. Things might have end up totally opposite of what you are thinking. But if it really end the way you thought, well, what's the problem? You have already thought of it.
Of course, as long as we do things in a responsible and sensible way, but just the lack of the courage, I would say, "Don't be afraid, just go ahead".
