I may not have many years to say that I know how life should be nor do I hold the formula for attaining a successful life. But with the life I've led thus far, I somehow have a glimpse of what a happy life is. I think being brought up in a competitive society like Singapore, we tend to worry and plan for the future constantly. Though yes it is important, I feel many forget to actually enjoy the current moments, some even let it pass by without taking a second to acknowledge it.
In Singapore, we are told that we have to be the Best. However, the 'Best' can only be so many, not everyone is destined for it nor even desire it. Being the Best is one thing, staying the Best is another. If we are always to be the Best, I bet life would be really stressful and uncertain. I don't want to lead a life like that. Singapore itself, so rich, has so many 'best' titles, yet, holds one of the most unhappy societies in the world. It is clear. isn't it?
I pray to God that when I enter the working world, I will love the job I am doing. This is a portion of a successful life to me. As I once heard, if you do the job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.
But like most things, I leave it to God. He has definitely guide me through my life. He knows all my fears and insecurities.
Although I do confess that I sometimes put too much thought into the future, I always remind myself to enjoy the moments. I don't want to look back and think, why did I worry so much. I could have been happier. Time lost is never to be taken back again.
