"I'm not a bad person, i just have bad luck!"

I had an interesting hang out with my little boys in catching a show. Well, the movie was none other than "Spiderman 3". Woohoo!! Finally i watched.. some of my friends even commented "wah! so slow den watch ah". Indeed it's a very good movie i will recommend everyone to watch. 5 stars man!! Yeah..

At the beginning of the show, a very interesting tag line caught my attention. It was said by the escaped convict(sandman) when he was forced by his wife to leave the house. He said, "I'm not a bad person, i just have bad luck." Wow! i was so amazed because isn't this sound very familiar among people while discussing or sharing issues in life like studies, work and results..

While in school, one of my schoolmate always complaint that he isn't stupid or slow in studies, it is just his luck that the questions in the exams are always those that he is not good at. That's why he failed the paper.

During my secondary school time, i found out that friends got a partime job which was very relax and easy YET we got the same amount of pay rate!!! i was furious and complaint that it was just my luck.. although getting the same pay rate, i had to work more than my friends.

The funniest was from my parents.. Always complaining that they are down on their luck of having a long "drought" not striking 4D.. Everytime switching on the tv text, never will i fail to hear long winding "Aiyo" and "Suay"(which means bad luck) from them.. hehe.. lucky enough they do not know i got a blog.. =X

What i am trying to drive at is.. many times in life when things happened in a bad way or problems surfaced, we do resort to excuses to allow ourselves to feel better and not do anything about it. "Luck" just happened to be one of easiest excuses we can find. When things come in handy or hard to have solutions, we will naturally want to run away from them, put them aside and don't care about them, or even pretend that nothing even happened!!

In the past, i always run away from problems, friends and family. Because i did not want to deal with it.. I was scare.. I did not know how to.. I found and felt it was difficult.. By doing this, i created more problems instead.. well, not many i really could take it.. However each was a growing process to learn and grow strong. =)

There are matters in life we really have to bite our teeth and believe in ourselves that we can do it. We don't rely on luck very much.. All we need is extra effort, extra care amd extra focus at different situations..

Finally, i reflected and got this..

"Stop finding excuses for ourselves because dare to deal with the matters will allow us to grow in character, learn and understand more about values in life.."
