Words and I

Some people love a short cut.

In a ticket booth in a railway station near my house, the passengers don’t know the word ‘to queue’. Even when you’re really in front of the booth, ready to buy the ticket, suddenly a few hands with some money appear from all over your sides, pushing you aside (imagine an horror movie ;P), wanting to be served first, a short cut.  

Or be careful when walking on a trotoar (a place for pedestrian). You just can’t walk freely because some motorcyles might hit you. They want a short cut by riding on the trotoar.

Want a better mark so you can pass the exams? Just cheat. Want a degree? Buy it. Want to get more profit? Sell fake stuffs and convince everyone they are of good quality. Want to be more beautiful? Get a plastic surgery. Want to get a job? Pay some money to the company (I still can’t believe it’s really happening!) Want to get rich fast? Be corrupted.

Want to have a short cut to heaven? Mmm… I’m yet to ask someone about it.

Who never heard of this? Especially when we feel low, there must be someone who says this to us, "Be positive."

I believe that it’s true. It sounds so easy but of course it’s not that easy to do. How can we be positive when, for example, someone steals our wallet on a bus? Our first reaction would be cursing the pickpocket (with terms we pick from the zoo?), or worse, pitying ourselves for not being too careful. Or worst, take a revenge and steal a wallet from someone else’s bag. Lol.

Well, life is like that. The ups and downs which everyone on Earth experiences. So that’s why we need to be positive, to prepare when the ‘downs’ moments are coming our ways. So instead of cursing the pickpocket, pitying ourselves, or take a revenge (God forbids!), if it happens to me, I will try to let go (because I can’t kick the pickpocket’s a** and take back my wallet, haha.) and try to convince myself that the pickpocket needs more money than I, that at least I have some money to help him a little, hopefully, and that way I feel blessed more.

Sounds too unbelievable? Maybe so. But just try it, little by little. Count your blessings… and you will feel the positive energy surrounding you… and when you really open your eyes, you will feel how so blessed you are. Try it.

Of course, staying in positive mind and attitude can be very very difficult to do when so many ’unfortunate’ things happen to us. I would like to add, "Be positive and always look down." I hope that will make you feel better.

Just think about it.

I am trying to be positive.
