Wake Up Call

Life is short. Life is unpredictable. Life is all about choices.

How do you define your life? Is it meaningful or pointless? Do you live for the sake of existing, or do you live for the sake of achieving goals and making the best out of this opportunity?

Do you think about your future, or do get by each day without a purpose? It is a choice that we can make. Humans vary- mindset, personalities, outlook, upbringing, and many more that contribute to our differences. For me, i love to plan my days ahead- slotting people into my 'weekly schedule' in an attempt to maximize the limited time that i have at hand. For others, they may enjoy sleeping away their entire morning and/or afternoon, only to realize that they are left with almost two-third of their day wasted. Well, it really depends on individuals cos some may seek pleasure in the latter.

For time is not always on your side, it is crucial to organise or plan. There are things that we 'have to do' as well as things that we 'like to do'. I must say that it is the former that contributes to our bright future and should never ever be neglected. Yes, we take delight in shopping, gaming, chilling, clubbing, gambling- activities that are within our interest. But it is only through education or work, that we can achieve the necessary value in life to survive each day and feed our daily needs. Studying may not be our forte, but we do understand its significance to our future. By excelling in school, we know that our future is more or less secured. I believe nobody enjoys studying, who in the right mind will? Okay, with the exception of certain geeks. Unfortunately, it falls under the category of things that we 'have to do'. Every step that we take, from playing truant to cheating and sleeping during classes, affects our grades and ultimately, our own future. And once again, it is a choice that we make, to pay attention or simply slack, that determines how our life will be in years to come.

Life is full of opportunities- both good and bad. Be intelligent; think hard and make a wise move. Now question yourself, are you in the right path towards your future? It is never too late to make changes for the better.
