How do you define ‘life’?

Life is like a roller coaster.
It’s always a different thrill each day
For it’s never the same ride for all.
Sometimes it’s up,
Sometimes it’s down.
Twisting and turning
Through thick and thin,
Up and down,
Which way will it go?
People scream, people shout,
Others cry, others laugh.
No matter how hard
This ride seems to be,
You just gotta get through it.
Just have faith in yourself!
If you follow the track,
For it will take you home.
Life is like a roller coaster,
It’s the best ride there is.

I’ve been hearing this definition of ‘life’ since i was young, I heard it again few days ago. Life is like a roller coaster, how true is that…
Here’s something I wanna share. Life is really full of challenges. I’m not saying challenges is not good, in fact, those who love challenges are the highest achievers. Do you agree? However, to really ENJOY challenges and being highest achievers, there’s a price that you need to pay.
Life is full of unexpected matters. So many times people use the word ‘I thought’, why? Because things don’t turn out to be the way they want them to be. Consequently, you might start losing hope, confidence, and even losing who you are… U’re no longer the brave, outspoken, full of confidence and determination YOU. Frankly speaking, I face situations like this so many times in my life too, even now. I don’t have solutions to handle it. Then why am I blogging?
Here’s the good news. Look around you. There must be someone who actually knows about what u’re facing. They are the ones who never leave you when u’re in trouble. They might not be able to help u directly. But, they encourage, love, and pray for you. This is FRIENDSHIP.
Friendship means a lot to me. I used to take it for granted. When I was checking my SMS and deleting some of it. I can easily see words of praise and encouragement, and people offered to pray for me. These are from TRUE FRIENDS. My true friends - S8, BS 5+6, housemates(recently…hehe) *clap clap*
Parents didnt call me as often as before. Maybe they think that I am big enough to handle things. And I very happy that I’m no longer making them worry. I am already big boy. I think….hehe.
Friends, here’s one thing I’ve learn and I wanna share, it is very simple, I’m so sure that its applicable to ur life. I used to ignore it, but i now I know the importance of it.
PICK YOUR FRIENDS UP WHEN THEY FALL
Why? Because you will eventually fall and need help getting up. Thanks to Sarah for the sermon.
Last but not least, thanks to all of u…For making my roller coaster life interesting. =)
