When u think u are unfortunate, somebody out there might be worse than u

No, today i'm not going to write abt that. But having read this thread on hwz, it makes me feel i'm fortunate enough to not be in that plight.

Have u ever been in a situation that u've nv came across? Perhaps putting urself in a situation that u do not want to be?

Just turn back the time to a few yrs ago, when we were in the army, the BMT, where we would be pushing ourselves doing physical training which we wouldnt imagine doing

Ok, let's quote an example. U taking the taxi. I believe most of us, maybe not for all but i'm guilty to admit, do u really give a damn how the uncle will bring u to the destination? As long as he get u to the place, period? Or oh so this is the way hmmm and the next time u'd know how to get back

When u are looking for a job, do u look for something that u like, easy, but little chance of promotion or something that is real challenging, involves alot of routines that u dont enjoy, but giving some chance of promotion?

Here, i would liken u to the passenger in the taxi, sitting in the comfort zone, would u be actively participating in the way u get to ur destination, or sit back, relax and get to ur destination?

And yes, after beating 2 rounds of the bush, i'm coming to the point: comfort zone.

Take revision, sometimes, we revise and take a break, we go back and take a break again. And when we reach a point we will say ok, that's it for today.

Or maybe when we are jogging, we run for 15mins and u feel pain in ur legs. And u will say, ok, that's it for today.

So do u think in the future, ur boss tells u: i fucking want this and that to be done by today! Will u do and do till a point and tell urself, 'ok, that's it for today'?

Coming to this, i will make another comparison. I will say life is like the taxi journey, we can either get out of our comfort zone to reach our destination, probably ur degree if u are studying, a job if u are a graduate, a flat or baby if u are married or probably death for the rest of us.

Or u can be a couch potato, relax, take 5 and stare at ur phone reading ur frens' fb status ;)

And what i have to say; ok, that's it for today
