The meaning of life

How weird life is.
Sometimes it's painful...
...sometimes it's beautiful.
But most of the time it's both.

That is an aspect of life. Actually, no one can make an full covered definition of life. However, it’s believed that everyone can understand the meanings of their own lives by their own ways. To me, the meaning of my life is keeping in mind memories and getting experiences from them...

Life's kind to me, at least now. Fortunately, I was born in a very good family. Dad, mum and brother, all are great and love me so much. Only one feeling comes whenever I think of my family: that's a pride, indeed.

Till now, I've stilled remembered the first date dad took me to school. The first date at school was always one of the most important date of my life. That was the date I started to learn, learn from teachers, from text books, and from my friends. Everything is completely new; school soon attracted me afterwards. It was like I had just discovered a strange land that was totally different from my familiar land- home.

Time passed by; I grew up, and went to secondary school. Life to me was unchanged. It's the mornings dad led me to school; then later I remained in the library or attended extra-classes before following dad back to home to enjoy mum's dinners when the sun set. At that time, somehow I wish to be an adult as soon as possible. Perhaps, life was so boring in my naive head.

Date by date, I became more mature. Getting a seat in a good senior high school in my hometown, I entered a more opened space. Also, I begin recognizing the smell of obstacles. Apart from hard working at school, I sometimes faced problems in relationships, awareness which required me to solve myself. When brother left home to go to his university, I realized what separation was, and started to think about the date I would be far away from home. I started to worry, started to miss home though I was still at home...

I can see that your dad must have inspired you a lot in your life. It's good to hear that you have such a wonderful family, and the most important thing that is you know how to appreciate it. Great to know that.

Some people (especially those who never had a difficult life before) don't know how to appreciate their life. In contrast, those who can see the hardship in life will appreciate life the most.

It is the life, guy. When you have to face obstacles, you gain experience and you become more mature. You and I are so lucky to be born in a happy family that we have not to experience our lives soon.

We are much more happier than a lot of people all over the world. This is a present that the God gives you. Try to hold it ^^

When I was young I felt just the same way that is to become an adult as soon as possible. I used to think being an adult is cool because then we can do anything we want. But now, I wished that I was still young where we don't have to bother much about life. Now, I realized that I should take life at a slower pace and enjoy as well as treasure all the precious moments I had in life.
