Live like Hell

I'm feeling like hell now...I wanted to prepare for my final exam, but my teacher haven't put up the study guide on the blackboard. She mentioned that she would put it up on Thursday. So now there's no where to start and I can't do much!! This is so irritating! I want to take this exam on Wednesday - the first day of exams - finish it up and relax, but if I still can't get it started only until Monday, then I probably can only take it on Thursday. But I don't want to take it on Thursday because I'm leaving to Vancouver, B.C. on Thursday afternoon!! My teacher still wants to have a review session, but she haven't emailed us the place, day, and time yet. What the heck is she doing now? Freaking slow and I'm panicking. Furthermore, my TA haven't put up some of the scores on blackboard. So apprently, I'm just surfing the internet, downloading Taiwanese variety shows, watching them and laughed, and feeling so sick of the whole thing I'm going through now!! My husband is studying in school and I'm alone at home. Freaking sick!! I feel so terrible, I'm at the peak of my unhappiness in my life! I still have other responsibilities to work on, but I just procrastinate; don't feel like doing anything. Why life can be so miserable sometimes? I'm really tired of it! Can God give me some peace real soon??? I want to be happy, I really want to be happy again..........................

Lessons on Life

Lessons on Life

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look
at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.

The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,
and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come

from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.


Moral lessons:


Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Don't judge life by one difficult season.

Perserve through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.


Beautiful story, don't we all agree? I'm going through a hard time now, but this story comforts and inspires me. I hope this message will comfort to those who are going through trials in their lives now.
