My Teacher, My Friend

Mrs Lim, my first Economics teacher, has always a good mentor to me.

This morning, she wrote these words in her e-mail which I would like to share with my sister, my brother and friends. They are meaningful words.

Sometimes we do need some encouraging words to remind ourselves that we are in fact MUCH MUCH BETTER than many people in this world.

We do not have the following problems to worry about :-

1. poverty

2. war

3. famine, drought or flood

4. natural disasters

5. health related issues

Our so called 'problems' are really quite trivial in life. We are depressed when :-

1. people backstab us

2. we do not have delicious food

3. children misbehave

4. we do not have time to go overseas

5. we are overloaded with work

6. we can't sleep or not enough sleep

7. we do not see eye to eye with someone

8. we do not have something nice to wear for certain occasion

9. people misundertood us................................ the list goes on and is endless.

Of course we can't help being sad or depressed because we are human and no one is perfect. But we should remind ourselves how lucky we are and try not to be depressed too often because of whatever that has happened. Being depressed will not alter things..........................................

Why not smile and face the facts and take it as lessons in life.

Inspiring words from Mrs Lim.
