You live, you learn.
Have you ever felt like you just had a big slap on your face just by seeing someone’s act or listening someone’s story?
My friend is going to buy an iPad. The news bitchslapped me right at that moment.
I’ve been wanting one for quite a long time. It’s not like i’m incapable to buy one. I just never had enough will to save some money to buy it. As an impulsive buyer that i am, i don’t have that kind of determination to hold myself a bit for a while.
She told me that she gotta save for two months to buy it. I thought about myself and the possibility of me going crazy in two months for the sake of iPad. I wonder.
Am i really able to do that?
I had a talk with someone long time ago, about the strength of will to wait for something bigger. The ability to be in control of myself.The ability to understand what i really want and what i really need. The ability to understand my own needs, that i can live my life better without some things i thought i really needed.
I erased my shopping list.
I live and learn, and i become who i am today.
I notice how the journey of my 20 years are full with things that i learned from the others. I didn’t have a chance to continue my study, but life doesn’t stop teaching me about how to be who i want to be. People tell me things, i learn from them. I do things, i learn by doing.
In the end, it’s all coming back to me, whether i have enough will to keep on learning or not.
Pay more attention to life, it won’t make you less rich.
