Chinese New Year is coming to an end! Long break is over! Common test is round the corner.. Peirce basketball team got through to the SEMI-FINAL.. A lot of things are happening this Chinese New Year season.. One of the things is i owe 9 maths homework.. This really kills much of my own free time.. I got to finish it by Mon! No one to blame, blame on my laziness.. And i feel that i am actually changing.. I become lazier!! My mentality had changed as well..

One of things that i find it the hardest to do is stepping out of your comfort zone.. Everyone has it's own comfort zone.. But often you are too comfortable in your comfort zone, you find it impossible to get out of it.. But most people who cant step out, is not that they don't know if they did not step out of it, they can never have a breakthrough in their life.. In fact, they know better than anyone of us.. But it is when they have reached their comfort zone, they think that it is enough already.. But they didn't realize that they have actually stopped functioning, and what they have will be used up one day.. And they are stuck in that part of their life which make them unable to prosper!!

Even to me, i love the time in my comfort zone.. But it is not about whether are you able to step out of it, it is whether do you want to step out of it.. Everyone is able to do so, the key lies in the heart.. And learning to step out of your comfort zone will be the step to progress further in life..

One of the most biggest problems in life is relationships issues.. How i relate to people and my connection to people is always one of the things that matters to me.. Everyone wants to have more friends than more enemies.. It really affects me because i will start wondering.. Is there a problem with my character? Am i hard to get along with, or i am born with a face that people dislike??. I begin to understand that it is pointless thinking of these questions.. Like what my teacher said, i cant please everyone in this world, and i will be really busy if i kept thinking about all these questions.. Worst still, all these people are people that don't matters to me in my heart.. And having problems in relationship is not always a bad thing because the more you experience relationship problems the more you are able to handle them.. And all these takes time and effort..

Doing the right thing and not what is popular.. People in the world nowadays only do things that are popular.. They know that what they are doing is wrong but they continued because it is popular.. But in life you must have your own perspective.. If you are doing things that is popular, you are only a follower.. If you only follow what the world is doing, then what is the purpose of your life?? You need to have the ability to discern what is right and what is wrong!! I read a book called 'TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE'. There is a few sentences from the book that says 'The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We are teaching the wrong thing. And we got to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own'. This is the people that we are looking for.. We gotta rise up as this kind of people who do things that is right not popular!!

But still when you encounter problems, it is always good to think back the time when you overcome problems.. This will give you the strength and encouragement to overcome them again.. But problems will never last, that is for sure and we have to understand that. Always smile and stay positive because this is the counter of tribulations!! That's all!! :)
