Count Your Blessings

Sometimes I forgot to remind myself how lucky I am among hundred billions of people on this planet. The fact that every one of us has our own problems in daily lives, there must be something that we should be grateful for. Things that some of the unfortunate people in this world don't have what we have can really measure up our gratefulness towards life.

I should be grateful for having my job right now. Sometimes, teaching career could be the less thing I want to do, because it includes a lot of work. Not that I don't love to teach but actually it's the only job that I really wanted to do. Nowadays, being a teacher means 30% in the classroom, and 70% doing secretarial services. I didn't signed up for teaching career to neglect my class and do other things that I'm not interested in. Well, thinking on the positive side, I can acquire a lot of other meaningful knowledge and experiences to be a better person. That's what I've learned, to appreciate what life offers me. 

So, I started to think positive on every side of the things I don't like. I was so devastated when my marriage didn't work out before. Every day, I woke up and get ready for work, trying my best to make through the day. I cried almost every week. Sometimes, I didn't have any tears left. 

But when I realised on TV and other people's more tragic stories, I felt my problem is too tiny compare to those people who suffered war, beheaded by some jihadist, and those children starving to death. While some of us are having fun and didn't even finish the meal, their life is like a time-bomb. Every minutes, every seconds, could be last time being together with their loved ones. 

So, cherish the life we had and always be grateful!
