My Wish for you, is to _____ :D



When we expect ourselves to achieve a goal, we work for it.
When we hope that we do well, we work towards it.
When we feel scared that we fail, we tell each other we won't because we can do it.
When the stage is ours and we are overwhelmed by anxiety for the outcome of our hardwork, we look at each other and tell ourselves to do our best.
When we do not do as well as expected, we feel disappointed, angry, sad, and look back to wonder what we have done that resulted us in this particular situation.
When we do not do as well as expected, tongues wag, faces change, and gossips start flying all over the place.
While walking around like any other student in school, others look at us like we have just committed a crime. Their helplessness and worries are written on their faces, and we start feeling annoyed at them being so overly exaggerated. We wonder, why do they have to act like they care? Why do they have to show that sad expression when it is not them who lost the battle? Why do they have to present themselves in such a way like as if they know how we feel and they can emphatise very well with us?

Yes perhaps you were once part of the group of 'us'/'we', or you tend to fall in that group now/last time when you meet/met similar circumstances. I confess that I used to fall into this group when I failed to reach my target or a target which others expected me to. It's an ugly side, to have such thoughts and perception of others when I did not even know what were going through their minds.

Their helplessness and worries could most likely be genuine, because after all, we are all in the same environment. Someone had let me to realise that at such juctures, it is only wise and fair for ourselves and for others if we set our minds to sink into a sea of positive thoughts. Many may act strangely towards you not because you have done something wrong, but because they are afraid they would hurt you. Many may change their attitude towards you not because you have done below expectations or that they look down on you, but because they are trying to adapt to your feelings and tone. Many may become more helpful than before not because they feel superior, but because they have faith that you can do better and would like to play a part in pushing you towards your largest potential.

Honestly, I do not know why I have come to write this post at this time, and it may be totally nonsensical and un-understandable. Ohwell :D haha! :D
Trust, Faith, Confidence - takes time and effort.
Friendship, Love, Feelings - takes time and effort.
