Choices

People always lament about their undesirable situations but it doesn't occur to them that if you don't like something, u should change it. Don't say you don't have other options . Don't say you cannot. Don't say i have no choice. We are often what we are today because of the choices we made yesterday. There is a famous quote " Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future but today is a gift that's why it is called present. Today is a present for us to change the future, for us to be one step closer to be what you want to be:)

Sometimes i am scared to make choices because i am afraid of the unknown and missed opportunities because i never make the first step. Sometimes i made choices that i knew was wrong and feel great when i get away with it but i feel like crap when i land into trouble because of my "reckless" decisions. Not all the time your choices are going to be correct . You make mistakes to learn, to rediscover who you are, to make better choices in future:)

Similarly in life there will be times you made decisions that sets you on a wrong path but don't forget that you have a choice to turn make back. Don't say it is too late but rather ask can i do to change. Don't give up on life even when everything seems bleak! THINK! and you will most probably find a way out. Because our innate survival skills comes out when we are cornered.

Ever heard of this story ? Imagine you are being kidnapped by a serial killer and he offers you two slips of paper and ask you to choose one. If you choose the slip that says you can live, he will release you . If you choose the other one that say you have to die, he will kill you. Under the circumstance that you know none of the slips say you can live because of his cunning nature, which one will you choose to survive? What will you do?

There is a way to live if you try. Think , change by making a choice.

Dreams

We all have our dreams and wishes, some go to all extents to get what they want, some just dream without doing anything. Dreamers who make their fantasy into reality are called successful people - Jack Ma , Steve Jobs , Justin Bieber just to name a few. In a world with more than 7 billion people dreams get fulfilled but also get crushed every single day. One person seems so small and insignificant as compared to the other 7 billion people yet at times the strength and the will of one person is all it takes to invoke a change, to break the monotonous routine of life. Lee Kuan Yew, one of the forefather of Singapore united Singapore in many ways, his faith in a small island , his determination, his persistence, his legacy, his death, made Singapore , strengthen Singapore and united Singapore. He like many of us was human, was a boy with dreams fueled with passion and will power. However, what made him different was how he turn the seemingly impossible to opportunities that have yet to be discovered and to me that's how he make Singapore prosper. I remember someone told me that if you follow the foot steps of successful people you might achieve something but if you venture out to a path that has to trodden on, you will be successful. Nonetheless,the drawbacks is there is no warning of what is ahead.  Failure is a given but it all depends on how you turn an obstacle into an opportunity.When one door closes another open, things always happen for a reason. Mentality is the crux. I still wake up feeling in doubt and empty about my future and dreams but i do know that i do not want to blindly chase and follow the path that many successful people have tread on. It will be hard but at least to me it will be worth it.

 ~ Society does not allow failure and the sad truth is that successful people often build their  achievements on the failure of others yet failure is the key to success~
