Philosophies of life December 31, 2011
We all have different attitudes towards life. We know that since long long time ago. It is for this reason that we choose people who share similar attitude and beliefs as friends. What we may not know, however, is that our philosophies of life change over time. I used to have lots of expectations for others; but when certain expectations are fulfilled, I begin to be more humble and start to appreciate the sacrifices others made in order to let those expectations fulfilled.
But still, these are not important. I've always told others in the past few months that the most important would be for us to enjoy what we have at this moment. Whether we are facing delight or adversity, it's still life. It's a life that we're still young and must face different tastes of life, so that we will have memories to recap when we get old.
No matter what, things in the past few weeks have been happy. To me, my university life has just begun. It's a pity that there're only six months remaining, but having experienced it for a short time is better than having not experienced it at all. So, I'll learn to enjoy every minute of my life in 2012, especially in the first half, but in the meantime, I can't wait to start my new life in the second half.
Christmas surprises December 25, 2011
It's Christmas again. I used to say that I hate Christmas. I regret I said that. Christmas is a time for peace on earth, and I hope that most of you, like me, found peace on silent night. This is the first real Christmas I've had for years, and I really treasure that. Because of this Christmas, I no longer have unfulfilled expectations. And I can finally turn over a new leaf and enjoy life.
How far can this new journey cover? I don't know. Will there be pain on the journey ahead? Sure there will be. But let us remember one important principle in life: don't ask. There must be some imperfections in life; but in the mean time we also learn and mature. My experience in the past three months has further proved this theory. But without that experience, I may not be able to move on and be content with what I have now.
So, what are my Christmas surprises? There weren't many, because, well, as a person with a tiny bit of OCD trait, I prefer to have everything planned. I hate it when things are beyond my control. So the surprises are actually for my readers: I didn't have any regret this Christmas. Actually I loved it. From this moment I'm going to enjoy life; I won't complain as much as I did, for I know that despite all the dreadful ordeals, I'm still loved, by God, and by my family and friends.
Decisiveness December 11, 2011
Decisiveness. This is an important character in multiple aspects, leadership, crisis management, clinical judgement, and even love. People tend to waste their precious time because of being indecisive. I was also once a victim of indecisiveness, but I've changed. Whether this is a good change or not, I don't know. But I hope I'll be happier in this way.
Speaking of "victimhood", I'm no stranger to being a victim. Searching Anzyme's history, you'll find vivid examples:
9/10/11: I've become a victim of wrong timing of late.
25/8/11: This week, I became the victim of the phenomenon that "people come and go"
31/7/10: No, I don't believe that I am always the victim. I refuse to be a victim.
27/3/10: I was once a beneficiary, though became a victim eventually, of this season (spring).
Bloody, right? But as I've said last summer, I refuse to be a victim. This was in fact a decision after watching American Beauty (1999). No matter what, "refusing to be a victim" is what you need to do, for "you're only a victim if you choose to be a victim."
December December 4, 2011
Every December, I'm devastated by my mood swings. This December, there would be no exception. But instead of facing it passively, I'm going to take proactive actions to deal with my problems. Indeed, there are lots of problems with my life. Some of my personal issues are having poor prognosis. I'm going to deal with them squarely. That may be painful at first. But remember, I've already lost a lot. There's no more to lose, so I shouldn't be afraid. And after removing the source of unhappiness, I can get a new life and find new happiness.
2011 is coming to an end. I'm glad that I didn't set any new year resolution, so I don't have to disappoint myself that I've achieved little. What about my life in 2012? OK, I'll set two. I'll graduate, and I'll be a good dentist. Fair enough?
