Diary 0220

 Today I had a talk with my friend on msn. This triggered some of my thoughts...

 What are we all looking for? I mean, the life-long pursuing. Happiness? Wealth? Fame? Achievements? And what kind of acheivements count?

 I believe there are always issues for me to learn at each phase of life, through each person, each peice of article, each event, whatsoever. And the endless growing and learning are the nature of life, since we human are this high-grade.

 To me, nothing is meaningless, as long as I look at the right side. But the first note is that it's not easy to be always this rational. As a matter of fact, it is IMpossible. That's why we all have depression to conquer. For example, when I faced some difficulties on work, being treated unfairly, having conlict with colleagues, the first thought came to me would be "to quit." After I calmed down, I would take all these as kind of disciplining, and told myself that I would definitely learn something, even the something is not visible right now.
 I think up another instance, of love. We often hear people hurt in love saying: " I don't want heart-break any more. I'll never love anyone from now on." Thousands and thousands of people break up with their lovers everyday. Books tell us love is tormenting. But still, people never give up seeking for their true love in life, even if they are temporarily disappointed in a love affair. That's the most fascinating and wonderful part of life! There's always hope and people believe in that!!

 I...used to think that teenagers are not mature enough. Though I don't actually have a teen-age acquaintance, I put this tag on them. Several days ago, I just got a chance to talk with a so-called "7th-grade." He is an optimist, from our conversation, I construed. The very sentence which impressed me a lot is " Life will find a way." It's not my first time to hear this sentence, of course. But the boy not only believe in this, but live up to it.

 What I'm trying to say is that I AM STARTING to know life, which in
the most part are undescribable. I am glad that I'm living and experiencing.
