Life seems to have taken a poll on a friend of mine. I know it is easy to just give up on life now. Many people have experienced before, as each of us has lowest points in life. I remember vividly the moment when I lost almost all my savings to some ponzi schemes, the world seems to have ended when i know the money won’t be able to be recovered. The recent Madoff case reminded me there are so many people falling victims to such false promises.
At this moment, people tend to look at the negative side, and always, overlook the positive outcome that they may get. Often, a storm that comes without warning, is what people expect the least. Think tsunami, nobody expect it to come. There will be lossess, there will be damage. That’s what life is all about. Like Dow Jones, up and down.
There is no way a victim can undo the mistake. It is not like computer. It leaves a scar in your life so sure, but it makes you appreciate other things you have in life. For example, you have no suffered in some natural disasters, or some bad accidents. People will be reborn after the tragedies.
At times, you sense the aroma of trimuph after all the worst that you braved through. It is this, that really makes all your effort unwasted. There is nothing in life that comes easily, but with positive attitude and perserverance, you may achieve what you want. Luck counts too for sure.
Importantly, make it worth it for yourself, and I know you will experience the ecstasy of victory in the end.
