20 years old,what to do?
Thursday, March 09, 2017
I'm
writing this at Jing Si Books&Cafe.
Just
now a little boy approached me and said “Hello” to me.
He
is such a cute creature with bright eyes and angelic smile. Even
though I couldn't understand his words while he whispering at my ear
but I still enjoyed talking to him.
After
a while,he left with his mommy. But there is something he didn't take
away, that's his warmth that he had brought to a stranger .
I
have been wondering for a long time,about the missions to be
completed in our lives.
To
get excellent results in examination and make parents proud?
To
help few people a day and collect their smiles?
To
work hard and earn a lot of money so to gain the strength or ability
to overcome all kinds of obstacles along the way of life?
To
find the partner of life who can accompany us regardless rain or
shine and tell the meaning of love?
All
of the options above have no wrong, but they are not the perfect
answer for you and me.
Last
week, I attended an activity organized by a lovely friend,RuiHan with
a purpose to help us , students who are going to start a new chapter
of life – entering the university ,to explore themselves , discover
their own stories and make choices.
We
were having a good time by sharing stories and our goals to be
achieved.
We
even had an auction to bid for small cards with life goals printed on
them, the goals included travel the whole world , earn a lot of money
, help many people in need , enjoy to stay alone , have a sweet and
close family , work with a group of people , have healthy body and
exercise regularly , acquire professional ability...and many more.
All about what we want to have or to do in our future.
We
were required to use our “money” (everyone has $15000 as basic
asset) to tender for our desire cards.
What
I had successfully got :
Back
to reality, I'm now still sitting alone here at JingSI. About 1.30pm
, 师姑 asked
me to have a pray with her , and so I followed her to put my palms
together and started singing prayer song on the tv. She told me that
every day they will pray at the same time together with people all
over the world through the 大爱channel.( 慈济频道)
The
prayer song can clear our mind , the whole song is about helping each
other without depending on their nationality, races or languages, and
create a peaceful world by spreading love whenever we go.
I
have always kept enthralled by all these beautiful,meaningful
messages and mindset.
So
I clearly know that the first thing to be put in my life-goals-list
is to spread my love everywhere I go.
To
be honest it is not a simple mission. You know human can easily be
controlled by emotions. Sometimes I do witness that a short but harsh
sentence can drive people angry within a few seconds.
Therefore,
to practice to control my emotions in everyday life is the main key.
Here
I also want to share a habit of mine that assists myself to focus on
my targets --- jot down them on a piece of paper and list out the
ways to reach the target.
I
just starting to do this because I want to let my action speaks but
not my useless commitments.
2017
is a brand new year ,at least I have done few things in the past two
months.
What
I feel most grateful is I'm able to work at two different places with
nice people there and I got the chance to join in ShiCheng Theater as
one of the 24 festivals drum drummer.
And
recently I fall for the art of Henna!
Imagine
you can have a temporary tattoo on your hands or legs with beautiful
design... haha! My skill is still under development but at least I
can draw some simple ring design on my finger ,hahah.
Appreciate
all the friends and people I met in my work place and everyday life!
And
those friends who are hundred miles away from me... I miss you all.
Hopefully
we can learn something and gaining experiences in our gap year.
Have a great time there:)
Lingxin.
