Just because you didn't get your dream job doesn't mean you're finished. You are just getting started.

Just because your heart was broken, 💔doesn't mean you should tear down

You are struggling. You don't know what to do and you are so tired of it. You don't believe me when I tell you that life is going to be better, it's hard, isn't it? It's hard to trust people, it's hard to think positive, and even harder to not cry.

But guess what? You can do it. Yes, you can. So let me tell you a story,

A true story about myself.

When I was still in high school, I was good at mathematics. So there was a particular year that I failed my test, in high school, they test us twice before they collate the result together. The first test is 40% while the second is 60%.

When the first test result came out, I checked my score and I got Zero. Not even 20%, or even 10%, but zero. Me? I was surprised and I went to my match teacher to complain because what I did was sure for me.

I got to him and found out that I wrote the wrong question. I made a little mistake while copying the question from the whiteboard. If he were to mark with the wrong question I wrote, I will get my full mark.

But the deed is done, I got Zero, while my other classmates passed. I began to cry, I was pained. Just a little mistake, the teacher should have known it was a mistake.

After that day I buckled up and decided to give my all in the second test. To cut short the story, the second test came, I made sure I didn't make any mistake.

The result came out and I got my full 60%. In total, my score was the second-highest that year, despite my failure in the first test.

What I'm trying to preach here is that we shouldn't let our current situation weigh us down, don't cry, focus on things that are yet to come and you will cry no more.

If I hadn't stopped crying, I would have failed woefully that year. Tears will bring no solution to one's problem.

Sometimes it feels really tough to cope up with our everyday life. There are days when we feel like all is lost, our world has come to end, but this isn't the case. Yes! When it feels that you are at your worst, when you think that all is lost, remember that these times won't last for long.

Quick reminder:

You are a warrior, stronger than the toughest of storms. You are the kind of person who might not have the most money, but has so much love to give to those who care. You have managed to survive some of the hardest circumstances and you can be sure you can manage this too.

Make a list of all the things you love about yourself. Read through it before falling asleep every night and remind yourself each morning that there is no reason to cry.

Then write down all the good things which will happen to you in today's future. Try to focus on them.

Let's look at it this way, you once had it all, but you seemed to have lost your mind to a point that you failed to realize that you actually had it good. The fact is, your current situation isn't as bad.

To my beautiful ladies

Don't cry dear, things will turn around for you soon

Don't cry dear, you'll find not all men are charming,

Some will deceive you with their lies.

But don't cry dear, the sun will shine again one day.

There's so much for you to gain and so much for you to learn.

Keep your chin up and always smile,

To my handsome guys

Things will get better one day.

Don't cry dear, don't be sad,

It might have happened but it won't last.

All your tears will not help you, better try another day.

Like the sun that sets daily and comes back to bid us goodbye,

We too will meet again my dear.

Don't cry dear, don't be sad,

It might have happened but it won't last.

All your tears will not help you, better try another day.

Don't cry - Don't cry...

Don't cry dear, things will turn around for you soon.

Don’t be sad dear, you can’t change the past but you can certainly be the architect of a better future.
