-jam- overcoming challenges and obstacles

A friend I met for lunch today complained about the huge amounts of work he had to complete. During lunch, he told me this. “You know Jeremy, life is so unfair! All my project group mates just don’t seem to be bothered with the project! And I’m the one doing all the work! Can you imagine? All 5 projects done by a single me?!” “!?$$*”

Sound familiar?

Well do you want to know what I told him? Heres what I said. “hey man, look on the bright side! If you can complete the 5 projects all by yourself, youre going to be able to do so much more in future!”

What do you think his reaction was? You know what he said? “You siao ah!?”

What I’m saying here is this. We will always face obstacle after obstacle. Some of them will be as big as Mt. Everest, while some of them may be as tiny as a mouse. If we persist and stretch ourselves to do so much more, we will only end up improving ourselves!

Can you imagine how much sense of accomplishment he’ll feel once he completes all 5 projects? All by himself?
