No Happiness

It's tiring to go on a routine, doing the same thing day in day out, doing the same thing again and again. Can life get a bit more exciting ? What happened to the days when students used to go out to Sunway karaoke lounge and sing their heart out ? Where are the days when students used to hit the shopping complexes and just hang out there fooling around ? =(

Does life as a student revolves around studying and that it constitutes nothing save this torturing monotony ?

Sometimes my mind do tend to wander there and i do wonder what is it that i am studying for ? Good grades ? To please my parents and teachers ? To show that i am smart ?

But then... when i started to think about the days when i finally get to sit down with my future students together learning from each other, when i started to think about how i am going to share my hopes and dreams, my fears and aspirations with them, when i started to think about how i am going make a difference in their lives, when i started to think about helping them to pursue their goals and dreams... suddenly, i realize that life is not about me, it's about how best i can prepare myself to help others.

Once there was a wave that said, "Sigh, i am going to crash onto the shore and will be no more...Why is life so unfair to me ?"

The wave next to him then said, "Oh.. i am not worried about that, because i know i am part of the ocean."

Sometimes, instead of focuing our energy merely on ourselves, and if we would just open our eyes and see how we fit into the big picture, we'll come to terms of what life is all about.

To me, life is an endless pursuit of helping others in their life so that they can, in turn, do the same unto others. Life is short, what we do in life, strikes a chord in the universe and vibrates for eternity. After that, well, life just doesn't seem too bad after all =)
