To do or not to do?

Today is kind of special. Firstly, there are 3 people whom I know are celebrating my birthday. I don’t know whether they are reading this or not. I just want to wish Wei Min, Sabrina and my cousin, Jia Ning – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Of course that is not the main point. I’m actually referring to one of the lessons I had in school today. It touched me a lot. My Chinese teacher was touching us about this Chinese proverb which means that one must persevere in your own conviction and don’t give up easily. Though I’ve heard this for like umpteen times, it kind of stuck in my mind this very time. She also said that it’s very hard to persevere in what we want. But we should persevere in order to achieve your goal in life. However, she said something which was rather contradicting. She said if we know that we would never achieve that particular thing, we should learn how to let go. This made me think deeply about what was happening in my life. I’m still trying to mend this friendship and I’ve never think of letting it go. But what my teacher said made me think thrice. I’ve tried my very best to communicate. But all my effort was in vain. I don’t get a single reply for what I did. Maybe I should persevere and see miracles happen. Right? I’ve prayed about it and I’ve been waiting for that prayer to be answered. But it doesn’t seem to get better. What should I say about this? To persevere or not to persevere?

Another thing – choir! I guess they were my happiest days before I took over the pose. Just because I’m the leader and I can’t help but to correct others whenever they’re wrong. I won’t say that I’m isolated or what. But experiencing back stabbing is certainly not a good feel. It’s TERRIBLE!!! Many asked me to ignore them. But the more I ignore, the more I hear. They are treating me as though I’m a big, bad monster going round telling them their mistakes. Isn’t that what a leader should do? To tell them where and how to improve? My life’s in a mess lately! Maybe not many people notice it. But it’s really in a real mess. From all aspects…
