Bitter or better?



i kinda watched this over and over again. i think Nick Vujicic is a really strong man. i wondered, if i'm ever born this way, could i live to date? i guess many a times, all of us take things for granted... Our families, what we have, our friends, the luxuries to have a home, a nice chair to sit in, an university to study in, to have hands and feet to eat, move, hold things, walk, run, work, swim properly. we make a fuss out of small things, we get angry for nothing, we want this, we want that. we kinda.. expect too much from life, and people. of course not saying we can't have any needs, but i guess comparing too much may not help resolve any issues. if we want something, make it happen ourselves.

"the human spirit can handle much more than we realize". true. if you think about it, there are actually many things that you think you can't do it but in reality, you have already got it over and done with.. or it's in progress. maybe it's our process of learning and growing we often forget to look back and think 'hey, that was an achievement i've made' but only grumble on what we don't have or can't have. i am and still is satisfied with life but it'll be good to have a constant reminder that i should be contented. like Nick mentioned, we gotta be thankful for what we have. not bitter of what we don't have. i guess it's always easier to get through days with positive and healthy mindset. 

these day, it seems like a sign that i should know something, kinda bummed into many reality hits that makes me think so much. came across this article that struck my thoughts too.


and this..

來信 - it's a video about this old man visiting his kids and grandchildren before passing away. it's soooooo sad :( shouldn't make it a point to forget our parents are growing old while we're too..... just got reminded that my grandfather had a fell 2 weeks ago and i haven't make time to visit him. guilt stricken.
