Thought I should just share with everyone a video that I’ve just watched. Credits to LingLan who asked me to watch it. Spend a couple of minutes and watch this (:
I guess you’re feeling almost the same of what I’m now. While watching this, I was tearing. I guess it’s the most basic response one can get. Nope. No way it’s because I pitied him or whatsoever. None of that at all.Â
I was truely touched by how strong-willed he actually am. And the point is, he doesn’t have any limbs since he was born. Enough with just about those inconvenience with mobility, think of all the stares he gets from everyone around and also how many times did he went to the hopsital? Adding to that, did he give up ? He was born with it. It wasn’t an one off thing because it’s with him forever. So it’s either a “you live with it or you die” kind of situation.
And why did I feel that he was strong ? Because if I was him, I could never have the strength to get up. People now, including me are complaining about superficial flaws that doesn’t even matter. Looks. Does it even matter? I mean look at yourself, you are able to move about, you can do what you want. You don’t even have any problems doing those basic stuff. And why are people of the modern world so weak hearted? Isn’t it really funny when you think about it? Even when I was thinking about it, I was laughing at how weak I was. A little setback and I feel like giving up. Felt like it was the end of the world and all.
But think about it, it’s just an insignificant thing. Maybe at that moment it’s really hurtful or depressing but once you look at the big picture you can safely tag it as miniscule. And I reflected on myself. The situation I’m in now. Is it really that bad? That severe that I should just give up on myself ? Actually the answer is a big fat NO. Because I know I can do it if I just tried a little harder, put in a little more effort. Nothing is actually impossible in this world. The only thing you can’t do is to pick up your courage and move on.Â
Life always changes. Nothing stays the same. And if everytime you meet up with an obstacle, you fall and never get up, then you might as well just give up isn’t it ? I mean think about it. Life is FULL of ups and downs. Don’t give up because of a minor setback. It ain’t worth it at all. Life is unpredictable. You never know what’s gona happen in the future. Life might suck now, everything might be just going downward sloping but think about it, maybe tomorrow would be better.
Life is what you make it. Put in a little more effort, stop procrastinating.  Life is full of hope if you dare to take a step foward. The theory is simple : Stand up when you fall down. Don’t ever give up on yourself because your life doesn’t crumble when people around you give up on you. It’s when you give up on yourself. So, I’ve learnt to give myself more chances, put in a little more and try harder. Even if the world obstructs me, I would use this little strength of mine to stand up against them.
“If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.†– H.G. Wells
