The bitter reality of things
Emo-nya!!! =.=
I used to think that working wasnt such a huge deal with being a grown up. But now im sort of feeling like…..work takes up SO MUCH of time and at the end of the day i’m just left with the feeling:
All THIS, and for WHAT?
It feels like we work so hard to make sure we can live comfortably; live up to society’s standards…
I’m pretty sure you’ve heard this before: Work harder for a bigger paycheck, to pay bigger bills, to buy a bigger house which u wont be able to enjoy cos ur so busy WORKING. I cant help feeling this way la. Im suddenly DREADING growing up even more than ever.
Money is such a ridiculous thing.
A ridiculous thing that we cant live without. *sigh*
Im not so much so emo to being depressed. Just a bit distressed la u know? Cos this whole cycle of paying, earning, loans, paychecks…. seems inevitable. And it kills people’s relationships. Work, stress, come back, take it out on those u love while reasoning ur working hard for them so why cant they be a bit more reasonable to YOU?? Even if ur not grumpy, there’s always house chores to suck out tat last bit of energy, restraint and optimism from u. Tada, u hv become nothing more than a robot. Senseless, aimless little ducks.
I suddenly see what a brilliant poet shakespeare was. He captured everything i feel in those few lines. Powerful, deep.
And now that i have finished strutting and fretting on this post (Oh, the irony!), I shall sign off, leaving evidence that i am the writer of these meaningless, insignificant ramblings.
A recollection of my thoughts at this moment, this point in my life.
Why am i talking like a long winded idiot? (x.x)
Oh hush, Joann!
(Anyways, i hope u get my point la; as silly as my rantings are… i wonder if other people feel the same way. =( …..)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more; it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

hey hey… tis job is not ur permanent one. those ppl who work their asses of just to get bigger pay checks wont enjoy work at all. the best is to do something that u really love. be it writing poems, drawing, racing or even cleaning up. if you really enjoy doing that thing, then you will definitely look at work differently. so pick ur career properly and plan ahead. then you wont have to get a job which u loathe just for money. do it for the joy of it. do it for kicks. do it for god. do things which u really like and give it ur all. as for your job now, think positively about it. the more you see things negatively, the more negative things will become.
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will—
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can never ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
but soon or late the man who wins
Is THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!
