Like Sunshine after Rain

I like this title that a good friend is using for his movie, soon to be release. In every of our own story, there will definitely be rain and sunshine some may encounter thunder storm or typhoon. But it is for definite that after every rain there will be sunshine and sometimes rainbow too ! 

But every so often the question is how long will that lasts ?  How long can we take in the rain, storm; how long can we bare with it ? Can we last until it shines again ? Or we give up half way and never see the sun again ? 

I had a long pause before continue writing again. Too many things are moving, playing in my mind the last weeks, coupled with Chinese New Year preparations etc. Its already a year passed, a new year just arrive, it's now the year of the Ox. The Ox should be as strong as the bull, charging ahead with strong economy and bullish market. However the opposite is the way, then again we shouldn't let this negative 'chi' to affect our daily live and allows it to overpower our mind. Without staying positive and finding the alternative way out, there sure will be a dead end in front of us. Its all in the mind that we think we will lose our job, got retrench and not be able to progress. In a time like this we should be thinking of sustaining rather then to progress. Alternatives, plan B or even plan C, if not this then that; crisis always provides opportunities for those who care to look and see rather then those who sits and waits. Chinese says 'Ngai Kee' is equivalent to 'Danger and Opportunity'. In every crisis/ danger we will be provided opportunity to shine.

If you have already set your mind to something, then only the universe will be able to stop you .. no human can do that. If you have faith in yourself in such a gloomy time then fate will be yours.

It is bad to keep thinking of the negative effect and results, its better to think and concentrate our energy in plan B or alternative way out. I just read an article about foreign workers in our country hitting between 1 million; if we gradually stop issuing work permit for them at least it will helps our locals to get a job in this temporary trial period. Otherwise our monies will continue to flow out and our people will continue to be jobless.

In such a a trying period, those who can sustain and come out untainted will the survivor and winner .. not only in their work but in life as well. It's everyday trying for everyone of us, some are going through minor trials, some are going through major lessons in life. To stay positive and optimistic is a better way to live our current life as there is a choice of to live in misery or happiness despite the current condition. 

I also remember an old Englishman whom I had a brief encounter with when I first join the workforce, his wife was hospitalized with broken hip bone. I asked him is he ok  becasue he nevers show any sign of sadness nor distress, always with a smiling face. He always says he is ok, and he told me that crisis always provides him opportunity to learn, this crisis provides him a most important lesson ... that he loves his wife very much; until today I never complain of any crisis that comes to me as I knew there is always a lesson behind it. So do yours ...
