Life is not as easy as it seems from the outside and on the other hand, it is sometimes much easier than we think before. Yeah, our mind can predict whatever is going to happen, but time will answer that until it did really happen in your life and you could feel the effect of what had happened. For example, you really wanted to win the Mathematics competition but you were so lazy to do a lot of exercises. As a result, you couldn’t reach what your desire was. Your heart and mind want winning the competition, but your action doesn’t. You just kept wondering the good things that were likely to happen in the future, but you didn’t prepare for reaching them. If you faced those experiences, you have to change your mindset from now on because unless you make positive changes, you will feel the bad effect that somehow will cause serious problems for your entire life. I think the best solution to deal with unbalanced mind and action is by focusing on what your main ultimate goal is. If you know what you want to reach, I am sure you will keep struggling although in the process, you will meet many difficulties that seem to be big barriers to face on. I have read one of the inspiring stories which I got from Reader’s Digest Asia. It was about a young woman who suffered a high-stadium cancer and the doctor had predicted that her life was just about less than a year. What her reaction did really amaze me. She didn’t give up and she still kept on enjoying her life. She believed that God would not give problem on human’s boundaries. At the end of her life, she still smiled whatever happened and she was thankful for her condition. She could live for almost ten years since she knew her disease. It’s out from doctor’s prediction. I wouldn’t like to persuade anyone not to believe the doctor, but what I got from this remarkable story was that action plays a very important role in our life. Life problems can come over in our life but as long as we know what we should do, I really believe it will ease our aches and pains. With a strong spirit and not to give up in facing all difficulties, we can create a better life, that maybe we never think we can do it before. As far as my life concerned, tomorrow is the first day of the third semester. It is the starting point of five months ahead. For me, it is new challenge to fight against because of having many credits to learn. It seems so difficult to me, but yeah…..once again it is still on my mind, it hasn’t happened yet. Whatever comes across on my mind is just a prediction, not a reality. I still have a little part of my life which also plays important role. My heart says “Vita, you can do it!”. A little part, but it does have a big impact for welcoming the new semester. In summary, I’d like to say that all things can be predicted by anyone, but the most important thing is to keep on struggling for all you want and see the result that sometimes it’s totally out of your own prediction before. Good luck for all of you, friends!
PS: Happy 64 th Independence Day for my nation, Indonesia! I wish INDONESIA will be a better country to live in. For me, Indonesia is a tough country that still keeps struggling against terrorism, corruption, multidimentional crisis, etc. FREEDOM, THAT’S ALL WE NEED!!!
