Recently I don't feel good about myself. These few days, I'm been having doubts about myself and about my family. Thought that my family is way out of control. I felt cheated, been used and been challenged on. Raised their voice against me and made some impolite statement to me. Felt like everything they did are totally wrong and faked. With all these things happened, I was always on my thinking mode trying to figure out. How did it happen this way? And why did it happen? I even thought that I was going to have depression sooner or later. Really think too much actually. So I decided to have a chat with my dad to clear my doubts and I felt bad that I even complained about my own family. So have to be more considerate next time.
My dad is really smart. He managed to see through me that I'm having some problems so he sent me an e-mail which had been forward through out everywhere. Let me show you the content of the mail:
Life Is a
Gift
生命是一份禮物
Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
今天，當你要講一句不善之言－－請想想那些無法講話的人
Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat..
當你要埋怨食物的味道時－－請想想那些沒有食物吃的人
Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
當你要埋怨你的先生或太太時－－請想想那些在向上天哭訴要一個伴侶的人
Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died
too early on this earth.
今天，當你要埋怨生活時－－請想想那些太早離開人世間的人
Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who
desires children but they're barren...
當你要埋怨小孩時－－請想想那些渴望小孩而無能生育的人
Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or
sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
當你要爭論沒有人清理屋子時－－請想想那些住在街邊的人
Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.
當你在哀訴駕駛的路程－－請想想那些同樣的路程以代步的人
And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.
當你很疲備而埋怨工作時－－請想想那些無工作，殘疾的，及那些多麼希望擁有你這份工作的人
But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - Remember that none of us perfect.
當你想要指著人或互相譴責時－－請記得沒有一個人是無罪
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.
Isn't all these statements true? Is completely true and realistic. Another thing that really amazed me is that my dad's action towards his job. I am still currently working for him and I will attend every meeting that he goes for. I can see that he is extremely serious about his work. Full of passion, full of determination and full of hard work. There are so much stress, tension and pressure on him. And yet I can even complain about my little little problems to him? My problems are nothing compare to his problems. That's when I truly understand how my parents are indeed my main pillar of strengths.
Look I'm not here to praise how good my parents are. But I'm here to tell you guys that our parents work their butts off for us. You may not think that your parents are that amazing and great. But the truth is they are. You just didn't realized it. Whenever you guys have a problem just let your parents know what you are facing and I'm sure they will figure out a solution for you. Remembered they are more experience than us in anything.
Well, that's all for now. Feel like some grandpa telling old stories. Next up about a wedding.
:)
