Kerek-ter

They say being strong does not always mean physical strength, but the real strength lies in your character. With age comes wisdom , with knowledge comes power .


You could be the most prospective , high potential individual out there , but sometimes when you know you're good you get too cocky . You tend to make mistakes . Which is why having someone with experience beside you can guide you to greater heights.

Same goes to life . I think personally , I've endured all kinds of experiences . Some are great , some can be very bad . I've been faced with rejection , humiliation , intimidation , isolation and sometimes aggression . Those are the bad ones , but I've also experienced love , friendship , companionship and responsibilities . Somehow I think God is trying to make me learn the hard way .

I think I've learned a great deal these couple of years . I've learned that some things just can't be avoided and its not because I have bad luck . Everything happens for a reason . I have refrained myself from blaming the whole world because of my problems. Certain things were just meant to happen . I've also realized that little things go a long way .

I don't really have a stressful job . I mean whatever I go through at work stays at the office . I never brought my work back home . Maybe its the lack of rest . Sometimes the stress and the strain contributed a lot to my recurring lower back problems , making things hard for me to even bend down and tie my shoe laces . I try to get as much rest as I can .

Here I am reflecting how things have turned out for me so far . I could proudly say that I can stand on my own right now . I have a job , I pay my own never-ending bills and I could afford to have my own car . Thanx to my pact with Purple , we're slowly saving up to allow us to travel for holidays and so on. Though I can't always go on holidays all the time like the rest of my peers , at least when the time comes for me to go , I'd make full use of the opportunity . All the hard work really pays dividends , especially when you see everyone is happy . I don't mind working hard , as long as I keep everyone happy .

Despite that , as a human and as a humble man , we make mistakes along the way . Lately , its either I make a lot of costly mistakes or everyone is trying to find faults on me . There seems to be a lack of tolerance lately over my mistakes . I feel my pride as a person is being peeled off little by little by how I get treated over my mistakes nowadays . I've been working hard , maybe not hard enough . Its not a nice feeling to have when people are angry at you , all guns blazing , eyes full of rage , hatred and foul words thrown at you like rotten eggs .

They say life's experiences builds a character , what sort of character will I finally turn out to be ? After all the ups and downs , triumphs and disappointments . Will I end up being a good character ? Don't forget that being evil is a journey . Will I lean more towards the dark side or will I come out on top and achieve greatness ?

  1. it's all up to you. even though there is such thing as fate i believe it's only to a certain extent. I think at certain levels God let you fill in the blanks depending on which route you take. So at the end of the day it's all in your mind to think and whether your heart wants to be whatever it is you want to be.
