The paths I've walked...for a purpose

Ever 'studied' something for years and then just quit cause you 'hated' it, only to end up regretting your decision?

Ever fought with your really close friend and end up not talking for like years?

Ever been back-stabbed by people just so that they can climb over you to get something they want?

Ever been hated by people when all you're doing is for their own good?

Ever told someone the truth about what others think about them only to have them hate you?

Ever wished that you had told them how you feel rather than keeping it in?

Ever watched the one you love from afar... never going near?

Ever break up a relationship so that your precious person can find their own happiness?

Ever wished that you had done something different that would have changed the current present situation?

Ever said something that you could never take back?

etc... etc... etc...

I have... I quit ballet and music only to regret it... I fought with my close friend and until now we hardly talk ( not a word for 3 years)... People have spoken so badly of me in front of a superior so as to get something from me that they want so desperately... I've been hated by a whole group of people when all I was doing was helping them stay away from punishment...I have told numerous people the truth about what others are saying only to have them take it so negatively... I have regretted not expressing my true feelings... I've watched the one I treasured continue on with life... I've allowed him to find his own happiness... I've done so many things I wish I could just change... I've said too many things that I could not take back...

BUT IN ALL THESE REGRETS... I live only to find out that I actually do not regret them....

I've gone through so many experiences with a purpose... 

Yes... A PURPOSE...

That I may understand those that go through them... that I may be a source of strength and an example to others stating that these things should NEVER EVER PULL A PERSON DOWN!! The are the bones that have been broken for us to learn from... We only have so many bones that we can break... That's why we have to learn from others.. And I'm proud and SO SHOULD YOU that mine and your broken bones can be examples for others to learn from... Save their bones for other experiences...

NEVER GO ON WITH LIFE WITH REGRET! Look back and see what you have learnt from these experiences...believe me.. you will be amazed at how these painful experiences have allowed you to GROW...

CLEAN UP YER DECK!

Clean up Yer' deck or ya'll be walking the PLANK!
Hand in your homework or you'll be getting a SPANK!
Orders, orders, orders,
Such annoying orders,
Getting us to do more work everyday,
NO! we just wish to say.

We never get to rest,
And they complain we don't get best!
Row, row, do not stop!
Work, work, do not stop!
Such horrifying words we hear all day,
How we wish to dance at the bay.

Free from everything,
All we do is sing,
Living a joyful life,
With a wonderful wife. ( Future )

I guess you can tell what the whole poem is about i suppose. It is really quite obvious. Oh and please ignore the wife thingy. I just had trouble thinking of a rhyme for life. ^^

STRESS!! not....

When running a marathon, we...
Pant, pant, run, run, pant, pant, run, run;
When we study, we...
Study, study, stress, stress, study, study, stress, stress.

All we're doing is all wrong,
No wonder we always sing a sad song;
We always over do all things,
Doing this is right, we think.

Chill, chill, do not rush,
It is not the end you know.
Sprint, jog, sprint, jog,
Study, rest, study, rest.

And at the end, push with all you have left,
Do not look right, nor left,
Focus on the goal,
To satisfy your soul.

Do this and you'll be at the top,
In 1 piece,
1 breath,
BUT with 1000 SMILES!!

Stress....STRESS!! everyone says that... admit it. With homework everyday, extra activities...people tend to stress out easily. Why?? I believe it is due to pressure and too high expectancy. Pressure is because other people then to pressure or expect others to do well in certain areas or even all areas.

It is said that a lot of pressure are placed on Chinese students studying in Chinese school ( SJKC schools ). Chinese school students generally have too much homework if i have to say so myself. The parents of the kids also tend to provide their kids with the 'best' gift of all ( at least they think so ). MORE WORKBOOKS!! They only think about their children getting straight A's in the exams. What pressure...don't you agree?? Comparing your kids is also another factor why they get stressed up. No matter how humble you may be, you have the tendency to want to be better than others. ADMIT IT!

This poem i wrote a while ago, tells us about how we should NOT stress out. We can always have a lot of homework, work, extra activities, and at the same time avoid stress. Just take it easy. Have good time management if possible. Your personality also affects your stress level just to add. If you are a hardworking type of person, you will do fine most of the time. Organized, well you have good time management i suppose. Lazy people, you gotta buck up!

Here are some solutions how to stay away from stress.

1~> People who are hardworking... Learn from the lazy ones how to relax. (and vice versa )
2~> GET A HOBBY...
3~> Do something you enjoy...
4~> Listen to music...

Thats all for today i guess~~ Hehe ^^ if anyone has any comments, suggestions or you disagree with something i said, please write them in the comments..thank you very much...^^
