This semester was the busiest in my degree life. Positive about this. Clinical training, reports, assignments, presentation... It's really too much for me to take in, and overwhelming. Beginning of this semester, same as previous, I told myself must study before study week, be hardworking, blablabla... As usual, I didn't make it. Sometimes, I really angry with myself, feeling hopeless, and useless. Maybe, this is me. I never be hardworking enough, like others, although I wish to be. I just give too much excuses to myself, and demotivate me from achieving it.
Watched "Life of Pi", twice to be precised. Lesson learnt: we, human are able to handle anything, to overcome all hardship we faced, overpower the challenges ahead, crossover the obstacles. The only thing we need, is to believe in ourselves. Have faith, that you can make it somehow, persistent, hold on till succeed, never give up. Isn't this is what life about? To challenges, to learn, to fail, to grow, and finally succeed.
Read a book the other day, 365 ways to live happy, a gift for my sister from her boss. First, choose to think happy thoughts. Don't let your negative mindset control over you. Be an optimist rather than a pessimist. Second, smile more often. Force yourself to smile, and think of this sentence in mind, " I'm happy, totally blissfully happy". Smile is the simple thing to affect others with happiness. So, spread this infection, widely. Next, change one of your faults. To do this, you must be complete honest to yourself. Choose to fix what you don't like about yourself, see goodness in yourself and others. (I think for me, is laziness I need to eliminate!!)
Don't harbour a grudge. Holding on to anger, resentment and hostility only hurt your own, and make yourself suffer. Manage anger. (This one I definitely need!!!) Moreover, cultivate hope when disaster hits. If something isn't going well with life, have hope that circumstances will shift, and the situation will improve and resolve eventually. Find courage to change the current situation, rather than let stress and anxiety to empower you, and fill you with worry and stress. Try to feel hopeful. Furthermore, everyone need praise. We grow up happily as a child, because we often received praise, compliment, and from there we have hope, and courage. As we grow up, we become hesistate to do what we want, or becoming who we are, because we're too scare of how to society is going to evaluate us, what others will talk or think about us. No more compliments, but just blame, argue, and critics everywhere. That's what kill our creativity, and we tend to be the same as others in society rather than unique. Praise yourself, reward yourself when you deserve it. This helps to build your courageous, your personality, and self-esteem.
This book is really meaningful, and of course do help me to find happiness in my own. Like the title of the book. Love what I'm doing, and enjoy my life. This is the motto of my life, and I must always remind myself in this.
By the way, I'm in my study now, again~ Second last semester of my degree life, and I really hope I can finish my degree with no regret. (I regretted on my secondary school, and form six results. Just don't want to add another one.) I should probably get back to study now. =)
# Pimples pop out, and I have no idea why this all sudden. Sad!! ='(
