Coincidence & Luck

The term ‘coincidence’ is unacceptable when it comes to a certain point in life for most events which have taken place are predetermined as some define. On the other hand, luck is more generally used in our daily communication and interaction, though some may not believe in such. We might call it the coincidence when we bump into the same person several times a day and we’d probably known it as our luck if we happen to obtain a better outcome compared to what we’ve expected. All and all, it shows our insecurity towards the happenings around and the decisions made, not to mention we have less faith in our own capabilities and the paths taken. A person who is confident enough to finish off his tasks is not equivalent to a person who completes all tasks without the sufficient confidence. The difference is the former does not use the word coincidence or luck whereas the latter believes in lucky charms and any others which are related to coincident in life. Anyhow, both coincidence and luck are one form of belief which many have faith in, where the debate regarding those two goes on.

Virus

A single click might bring in the necessity to format computer, not well chosen words may cost us one of the very few bonds which we treasure most and one particular incident could change our perspectives for the rest of our lives. We may not know how one truly feels until the day we encounter the similar incident as his and we may not notice the number of people from one particular category until the moment we are part of them. We find virus to be contagious when we are the victims and similarly, we find many people to be in common as we experience something new in life, when it comes to bad experiences and unwanted incidents especially. For instance, when a person breaks up with the other half, he might find the people within the circle happen to be doing the same and from there he concludes the phenomenon is contagious. When we first got our license, we couldn’t help it but to notice the number of cars on the street with the ‘P’ on. Could it be a coincidence or it is as contagious as many have said it is? Personally, we are simply undergoing changes which we fail to take note of. As we learn from our mistakes and experiences, we open ourselves for more exposure and possess a wider vision to spot something new. Perhaps we are looking for the people of our kind, perhaps we don’t want to be alone or perhaps we have already taken it as part of our lives, the incidents we’ve been through.

Wasted Hours

Original plan: four months working, one month hanging around and proceed to university. Current plan: continue working while waiting for admission notification. Conclusion: half a year is gone for the very least. Decisions have been made, time has been spent and regrets are not the excuses to further hesitation and pauses. Moments that have been embeded into our hearts, incidents that we do not wish to repeat and voices hidden deep down often remind us how much time we have wasted in life, but never once we actually carry out the task changing it after the determination to do so has been made, for we always have complains regarding our surroundings after a period of time, be it the best or the worst that has ever taken place. We call it waste of time, we take it as something useless and we known it as idiotic, but how often does it come across our minds that it was what we call memorable moments, what we have taken for granted and what we once known as wonderful life? It may be enjoyable at first and not anymore later, but it doesn't mean that it has never been memorable enough to lift up the smile on our faces and brighten up the rest of our day. Wasted hours are the time we've spent on something we do not wish to, not the moments when we regret what we have done which was once what we wanted most.

Leadership

A leader exists in each crowd, each circle and each party, be it self-nominating or appointed by the people around. Perhaps some may be wondering how a self-nominated leader can be a leader when he is not selected by the crowd. Perhaps some may agree to such act as there will not be a leader if no one is willing to take a step forward and grab the title. We talk about leadership, we discuss about winning the hearts of people and we live our lives the way a leader should be by making decisions for ourselves and sometimes for others as well. From time to time, we tell the people around how we want everything to be by starting our lines with “I want”. “I want these off the pathways.” “I want them close to perfect.””I want the display to be arranged asymmetrically.” Everyone possesses the leadership skills, but not everybody is using it correctly. Everyone has the potential to become a leader, but not everybody acknowledged by the people, especially when it is not beneficial.

Desperation

Is it true that once we’ve had our first love, we would start missing the moments of having someone to care for? Is it a fact that we cannot stand the life of being single after we’ve tasted love? First time experiences take up most of our memories, be it the sparks above our heads when we are changing spotlight or the centipede found on our leg out of nowhere. Perhaps it is just us who are not willing to pull ourselves out from the past, hence comparing the days before and after the incident taken place, where it soon develops into desperation when we are looking forward to living the past again. We may be desperate for attention, we might be hunger for love and we could be waiting for a whole new level of what we may call the changes. We compare ourselves with the people around us as we want to possess what they have and what they do not have, we challenge the others as we want to prove our capabilities and skills, be it academic wise or social wise and we eliminate the opponents who we think are standing on our ways. All and all, we are simply being desperate over our possession and others’ as well, for most situations.

All Cooled

It was unacceptable but it is a fact that has already taken place, so be it. When a person is blinded by jealousy, nothing seems right anymore. Similarly, when we are blinded by anger, we may lose our way, not notice the fact that we are not much different from that particular person who got on our nerves. Against our principles his doings may be, but it doesn’t mean we should hold onto the grudge for eternity, even if we can barely forgive and forget. It is our honor to be able to know the things one has been doing behind our backs, it is our luck to discover the true identity of that particular someone who has been pretending to be the so called good friend when he is not and it is simply our decision whether to live life the way we wanted it to be or to let our hatred taking over. Read a short story days ago and I’ve learned the little lesson of life: we did not study for the sake of getting angry, we did not get into a relationship just to get frustrated with his doings ad we certainly did not start working with the intention of pissing ourselves off. In our eyes, an individual may be foolish and childish; however, it is their right over the thoughts they have in mind and we’d still be able to move on. Does not matter how hard they try to bring us down, as long as we’re doing our job, as long as we’re not going overboard and as long as we’re cautious enough not to step into any traps they’ve already set ahead of us, we would be just fine. All cooled and chilled.
