Okay, what happened was I gave a “big” speech in the car to my husband on the way home this afternoon. I don’t know if this was some thoughts that have been hovering in my mind for a long time, or just an improvisational “flick” that was passing my mind. I was just talking loudly when my husband was driving. According to him, I was pretty much like a mental mentor, a philosopher and a real smartie at the moment. He urged me to write down what I have said. So, here are the points I had made.

It’s about what are the things that people should really do and dedicate themselves to in their lives. According to my afternoon’s Muse, there are only 3 kinds of things that people should spend their time doing or worthwhile spending their time doing in their lives.

A. The things that you love: any hobby, anything that you have passion, anything that you are really interested in. Even there is no reward or no pay back, you go, man! Do it as you love to do it.

B. The things that you are really good at: If they happen to be the same things that you love, it’s cool! If they are just things that you find yourself really good at doing and always be able to achieve a success, no matter how less the effort that you have made to achieve the object or pursue a success, you should do it, as this is something that you are born for, and you have the every right characters to achieve it without making extra effort. If you don’t, it would be a big waste for your talent.

C. The things that can bring you a great reward or a high profit, like you get paid to do something that you don’t like or you are not good at, but as long as the return is big, it’s worth you doing and trying hard. For example, you are working in a finance business, you are not the talentest person in this field, but you are doing okay, just being able to catching up with the industrial’s standard. Anyway, you get good pay for working in the business although you don’t like it. You should keep doing it, as it’s still worthwhile.

Check what you are doing at the moment. If you are not doing something falls in the above 3 categories, you are wasting your time and you will be finally brought to nowhere. Accordingly you are probably struggling your life with your weakness (competing with other people with their strength) or having been fed up with resentment, hatred, a feeling of unfairness, and you ARE not happy. Unforturnately in this world, most of people are going nowhere and don’t know what they really like or good at. If you want to know what the word “pathetic” means, this is it.
