Getting what you want in life?
Well today i have decided to talk about the issue regarding getting what we want in life. In my line of work, i met lots of people from all walks of life. Each of them gave me a different perspective of life especially in different stages of their life. This happens to be one area that i like to explore with them.
One category of people likes to view life as being simple & happy. To them, working hard and long hour for money doesn’t make any sense because they won’t feel happy going thru the hardwork. What makes them happy can varies. Some is spending time with gf, some could be being able to go back for home-cooked dinner at 7pm or another group feels that being able to sleep longer hour is considered happy to them. Well i will normally classified this group of people as ‘ Happy-go-lucky’ type =) Taking pleasure out of the common things. Appreciating what they have rather than complaining what they don’t have.
Second group of people are those who views life as being stressful! Everyday is so stressful for them. Even going out for a dinner with family can be stressful because when they think of the amount of money that needs to be spent, they are worried! Some are worried over money while some are concerned about job security. There are even a minority who worried about their next generations! Well such people normally have two outcomes: Either they are very successful at work because pressure forces them to perform well or they are a loser at work as they can’t perform under highly stress environment.
Third group of people are those who view life as very challenging. This group of people in my opinion are people who will take life as it is and turn whatever situations they faced into their advantage ground. Personally i have met many people who are in this category and i have learnt alot of surviving skills from them. Nothing can beat them down for long. When they fall, they stand up quicky! They are result-oriented people and their mindset is very strong. Once they set their mind onto something, they will do whatever it takes to achieve it. Well it is not easy to be in this group as we are all human being afterall. We have our downside. The only thing is that they know their ‘hot button’ in them and when they are down, they just press it! In fact, people i know that is in this category are those who come from poor families or have super sad background. Their past makes them even more determined to show people that the past does not equal to future!
In my opinion, there are more than 3 categories of people but i will just touch on the more general type. In each life stage, you will tend to adopt different views towards life and it is important to realise that your surrounding environment including family & friends plays a crucial role in determining how you take care of your life to get what you want. Many people will always said this: ” Well the person is lucky to be great people who can help them or the person is just rich’ BUT seriously do you think people are just lucky just like that? Do you think successful people are successful because they sit down and wait for luck to arrive? Nope! They search for it and do many things to get it!
Therefore please remember that whatever stands you have towards life, you got to take responsibility to that. One move can change your life! Understand yourself well and you will find your life getting better =) People have many wants but they often miss out what is the most important to them.
To end off, please ponder over this question: Do you know what do you want in life?
