The Old Bicycle
(Norliza Baharom)
This is a story of a poor family living in a remote village of Selangor, Malaysia. Despite their living condition they still managed to provide for their daily needs. Everything was sacrificed for what was needed most.
Sometimes we think that our present situation is our future, forgetting that change is the only constant in this world. Always, we tend to find negative reasons for our temporary setbacks. These things bar us from doing positive things to improve our present. We sometimes believe so much in pre-destination: that what our fore-fathers had experienced should also happen attitude. We nurture negative reasons for everything and thus detest sacrifice to attain our dreams. Few of us believe we can really succeed ? only the brave or the best of us succeed.
Have you heard of stories about successful persons of their painstaking endurance of hardships if only to attain their dreams? Yes, they had succeeded because they believe they can succeed in the first place. Simply it boils down to the conditioning of the mind that brings us nearer to the attainment to our endeavors. Believe you can and you can succeed is a foremost requirement of attaining success.
Sometimes other doesn?t even begin at all because they are afraid to fail. Remember, a baby stumbles before he learns to walk and so to the next level of our goals. Obstacles will always be there to test our mettle to go on and succeed. Our lives are short, temporary and ephemeral. That we are born only to enjoy this world is a wrong perspective. Suffering to absorb the needed lessons in life is a must.
We may not all be successful in our journey towards our cherished goals but the journey of a life fully lived. The greatest happiness comes in attaining satisfaction that we did our best to live our life to the fullest within the bounds of the golden rule- do unto others what you want others do unto you.
