there's always OR

Life is full of choices

We always have choices (well, except when we have to face death)

Maybe at one point in our life, we're fated to lose everything in a glimpse, but we always can choose either to stand up and walk OR whine and go crazy and end up in the mental hospital or begging by the road side.

We often encounter this in our lives - we're told that it's compulsory for us to do blablabla, we must do it like blablabla, submit this paper on blablabla. Compulsory? Must? Need? We still have a choice. Breaking the rule is a choice. We can either just follow OR rebel and do it our way. Wise men always consider the consequences of their action.

Sometimes we get criticized/ humiliated/ scolded in front of a bunch of human beings and end up feeling useless, worthless, discouraged, stupid. We could let ourselves drown in misery and turn from bad to worst etc OR just continue doing whatever we're doing if it's right/ fix what we can to make things right. Mahatma Gandhi once said "Whatever you do will be insignificant but it is important that you do it."

There will be times in our lives when we'll have to bear losing someone so significant, someone we truly love that it'd feel like half of our soul is taken away. Lifeless. We could have just jump off some skyscraper and die OR learn to cope with things that happened, get over the grieving phase.

Most of the time, I have a bunch of things to do - exercises to complete, subjects to study for coming tests, assignments to be reviewed and those things are like a huge backpack full of stones being put on my back. I can just force my soul to sit and study like there's no tomorrow OR chill out, hang out and last but not least deal with some drawbacks of my action. Everything has a price to pay. I learnt to pay for things I think worth paying for, things that would make me smile i guess. I realised that it hurts, it really hurts even if you get everything but at the end of the day, you feel like sitting down somewhere isolated and cry. Sometimes I do make stupid decisions, I choose worthless things, I do useless activities, I talk nonsense...well it's the imperfection that makes everyone perfect right ^_^

Anyway...
There's always OR.
Our willpower will determine the answer.

I talk to someone about my blog and she said "You got time for that?".
Well I'm not really that free la =P

This is something I saw somewhere, it sounds something like this - We never have time for anything. If we want to do something, we gotta make time for it.
