From the back of my mind

"Our greatest regrets are not our failures, but our failures to try." - Adam Grant

Life is full of surprises. It may tear you down but there is always reason for you to be lift up. A lot of uncertainties, a lot of detour to travel. Sometimes I feel like I want to vomit because of the zigzag and curves but I still do enjoy my long journey called life. Stop over is necessary. Rest. There may be missed opportunities and failures but never dwell on it. The art of failing is that we learn, even sometimes we learn the hard way, the important thing is we always have the chance to improve. However, regrets are different. The pain of failures through time will heal but regrets of not trying takes longer time and sometimes even though we thought we already moved on, when certain things happen we then found ourselves thinking about it again. Countless what ifs, countless if only. The real failure is when we hesitated and did not give ourselves the chance to try. We immediately think that we can’t do better because of our doubts. Tim Stoddart also said “You must build up the courage to accept the short term consequences of ignoring the choices that don’t matter”. Things will always get noisy at the beginning of your journey, filtering out unnecessary noises will surely help you a lot. Filter those that don’t matter- doubts, hesitations, loss of confidence. These things will be noisy and will poison your mind whenever you want to start on something. Life must come with a level of priority. Which should be on the first spot and which should come last? All of us are given 24 hours a day, and no one can say they don’t have time for important things, it’s just that it is not part of their priorities. As what Nishan Panwar said, “There is no one busy in this world, it’s always about priorities. You will always find time for the things you feel important.”
