Every cloud has a silver lining
Things don’t always go the way we want them to. In fact, if you’re having a bad day, things always don’t go the way you want them to. It can be quite demotivating and it will certainly make your mood go bad.
I believe everyone has such an experience, myself included. But over the years, I’ve learnt that no matter how screwed up things are, it is not the end of the world. And no matter how bad things look to be, there are actually not THAT bad if you look at them from another perspective.
For example, the other day, I woke up late as I was feeling very tired. I was late by 40 minutes actually. So I rushed to my workplace, just few minutes before the training started. Of course, rushing will not make one’s mood good. I entered the office with a not-so-good mood. Guess what? The office building was having a power outage since 6am. If I were to go in earlier, I would have to suffer for longer period of time!
Another example, my business trip to Sydney was canceled. I was pretty sad but when I think about it, it’s actually a blessing in disguise. The H1n1 case in Australia is actually worse than Malaysia so canceling my trip to Australia is not really a bad thing.
There are countless examples that I can give you but I’m sure you get the meaning, so I’ll just spare you with those boring stories. And I’m pretty sure you can find those similar stories in your life as well.
All I want to say is, things do happen for a reason. If it’s a setback, don’t dwell on it for too long. Look at it from a different perspective. Maybe it IS better for things to be in this state. Hope it helps.
p/s…. mmm maybe the spread of the flu virus in my office is also a blessing in disguise? hmmm

When MJ died, people said its good becoz now he need not worry about scandals and financial troubles any more.
@gapnap, when nobody comments on your blog, how about taking it as people trying to give you a nice break so you don’t have to think up replies?
See, even I can be positive sometimes, hehe.
@ gapnap
actually most people read and don’t comment. you see that you have more comments in 1 blog post than i have in 2 blog posts.
no worries. as long as the post fulfills what you set out to do, then it’s fine
coz certain comments tend to start a flame war…which is not something very fun to manage.
@ Damien
Well, at least MJ should be happy that so many people miss him and he is indeed a global icon. Imagine if nobody cares, that will be quite sad. For example, there was this female celebrity who also passed on that day…but er…what was her name again?
