Outing Day
By Peace | December 3, 2006
It’s tiring day again for me. My legs are aching. This afternoon, the whole family went to Borders. We went there by train.
Before we went to Borders, we went to Somerset first. The streets were all decorated with Christmas decorations. The children were amazed at the deco. They like it very much. Some photographers were capturing the beautiful scenes.
From Somerset, we strolled to Borders. Orchard Road was very crowded. There were many foreigners there as well. Soon we reached Borders. I thought the air-con there would be very cold as usual, however, on the contrary, everything was not as what I have thought. There were long queues of people waiting at the cashier to pay for their items, and the air was so warm. It was stuffy inside.
I cannot stand the warmth and stuffiness. After the children had chosen the books, we quickly get out of the place. I have no time to see any books and I do not want to stay any longer in there either.
After Borders, we went to Wisma Atrium for dinner at the Food Court. Before going home, we went to the basement to buy Famous Amos, my favourite cookie.
Just now, when I was eating Famous Amos, I got the inspiration to go Helium again. I saw this topic below and decided to write about it.
How to best make your life dreams come true
What is life? For me, I think that life is a journey, consisting of steps which you choose to take either slowly or at a comfortable pace or hastily. Everyone has a different destination to go. However, some people do not have any destination to go in life at all. These are people with no dreams in life. They are heading life with no clear direction.
Everybody should have a dream or at least a dream. Different people have different ambitions, have different perspectives and so all people have different dreams. You don’t have to ask people to know what dreams you want. When you have a dream, you know very well what you want in life, you have a goal or goals to achieve in life. When you have a clear mind of what dreams you want, you know what goals to achieve, you have a purposeful life, your purpose is to achieve your dreams, to have your dreams come true.
To show you how to best make your life dreams come true, its best if I show it to you in point form as describe below:
1. How important the dream is to you
The most important thing to determine whether your dream will come true a not depend on how much you yearn for this dream to come true. If you really feel important about your dream, you will try very hard, by every ways and means, to slowly get what you want. This is also a matter of your attitude. If your attitude towards your goals is serious, you are very sure about the dreams, you be committed to want very hard to achieve your dreams.
2. Your mental power - Attitude, commitment, determination and discipline
Once you know very sure that you must really go for the dream, you must have the determination and commitment, the will-power to ability to focus and aim well at your ‘targets’. Achieving your dream is like learning archery. It is not easy to hit the target. One needs to learn the skill and techniques of holding the bow and aiming well at the target, in order to hit the target with an arrow. It may takes months to learn or just days to learn, depending on your speed of learning, depending on how much effort and how much time you spent learning it. The faster you learn, the more you practiced within a short period of time, with all your heart and all your soul, you will definitely learn faster than someone who has the ‘nevermind’ attitude. And one more thing, you must have self-discipline. You are responsible for your own actions, your own success and failures.
3. No pain, no gain
In life, when you get something, you must be willing to forego something else. There is no eating two cakes at the same time. When you want to achieve something, you must be willing to sacrifice your time, or even sacrifice on other things at times, to achieve what you want. For example, you might want to sacrifice time for watching your favourite show, to practice more on archery. You know that it is hard to practice archery and you know that it is hard to sacrifice your favourite shows, but you must know very well in your mind, the importance of the dream to you.
4. Read
Nobody is imperfect in this world. In order to achieve your dreams, you must not only practice practically, you also must read. Increase your knowledge on whichever areas you think you are weak at, read more both to improve your brain power. Read widely. It has more good than harm. Just like archery again, if you are a slow learner, it might help even further if you read up on archery.
5. Never, never, never give up
Nobody can hit the target at first attempt, probably by luck if that happens. Learn the skill of archery, master it and you will finally hit the target someday. You are the destiny of your life. You control the pace of your journey. If you fail once, try again and again. Tired? Take a rest and try again. Keep trying until you get what you want.
These are the five things that if you bare them in mind, you will definitely achieve your dreams. For example, if your dream is to retire at 40 years old, then you should already know if you cannot retire at age 40, what the consequences would be like. Knowing the importance of it, you must have a positive attitude, self-discipline, to set aside monthly savings to slowly achieve your retirement nest eggs someday. Life can be boring without enjoyment, however, you need to sacrifice your time and even your money or your enjoyment sake in order to have early retirement. It may be hard to achieve your goals, but read books to improve your knowledge of investment to increase your money, let money earn money for you. Never give up when you fail. Keep on trying and I am sure your dreams, regardless of what it is, it will finally come true.
Remember, you are the destiny of your own life. If you want to make your dreams come true, you need to work at it. No pain no gain. Devote more time on ways to achieve your dreams and it needs your commitments and will-power.
