Nothing Bad ever Happens to you

Currently reading this super super easy to read positive thinking book called "Life's Missing Instruction Manual".

I thought this would be some lecture read, but the whole 157 pages contain short half pages to 2 maximum 2 pages story. So easy to read, feels like someone's been talking to me about their life lessons (which is exactly how this book made of - real life stories of people who learned hard cold life lessons the difficult ways)

Anyway. I recommend to anyone to read, especially those who's going through a hard time, you don't feel like to do any reading but this is a very fun read. I almost finished the book within the past three days.. and it's interesting how I remember the things from book when I went through my day...

So what it is is Today is not my perfect day, cos I screwed up my presentation that I had to do on a 50 pages reading... (OH no) I struggled to say most of the main points cos I did not prepare well. prof helped me a lot by pointing some of the things out....

Anyhow! But I was not any bit sad. (Why? You don't care about the school?) NO, it's just I understand I haven't spend enough time, I admit it and I tried my best waking up today morning at 7 to start preparing it. (Are you feeling okay?) I'm ok, bit embarrassed but I feel fine because I remember this thing I just learned two days ago.



"Failure is not Death"



Actually I learned this long ago and had been telling myself (in chinese words) all the time. "It's not like I'm dying!" ("又不會死的!"... in case you want to know hahha)

The other part to the reading from the book is "Nothing bad ever happens to you" from this man who wrote the tips. He is a successful business man who tried alot of things and fail at alot of things to get where he is.

To handling failure: You don't give up. You take a deep breath. You dust yourself off. You learn. You go on and do things differently this time. Keep going and you will get there.

So I learned alot today (YAH! this should be happy!) and this is a repeating lesson for years now, and the lesson keeps coming back unless I get it over with....! I now promised myself not to procrastinate from today.

And I should give myself some cheer because I did not skip class like I would do in the past or I did not tell prof I'm sick and can't come to class. I came in class on time, I told my professor that I am not ready, but he encouraged me to try anyway. After class I told him I will hand in my writing later, he did not show any bad looks to me, he continue to encouraged me and told me it's good that you try, just keep going, you will get there.

Maybe he doesn't care much about how I do? but I am telling myself now he does care. Maybe other classmates think that I did so terrible? but I am telling myself now at least I tried. I think if I'm one of the classmates I would not think "me" as a loser. I would only wish her to succeed and continue to try harder next time. So I will leave this as it is. and not thinking any negative about this incident.


I even laugh and smile right after class, for some reason I feel relieve..?!
.......Because this time I am not making up more excuse to postpone what I should do.



No more later and wasting time. I will keep going, till I get there! That is to have myself happy from now on, no matter what is going to happen. "Right now" is all I/we have, why wasting time being sad or mad anymore?
