Better, not bitter
[ 11:18:00 pm ]
My Chinese is not the in the category of good but I tweeted this earlier on while still doing some overtime in the office.
从小, 父母亲都教导着做事不能半途而废、工作上要勤劳。。所以我不会埋怨的。"Never Give Up!" 是在我个人字典里字体最最大的三个字!:)
Well, if I were to explain it in English, it'd be:
Since I was a child, I have been taught by my parents to not give up easily on what I have set my heart & mind to do..and that one must be diligent in his work. Therefore, I will not grow to hold any resentment or bitterness. "Never Give Up!" are the three biggest words in my dictionary. :)
Hmmm..why this sudden tweet?
I think it's because in my daily life, I see a lot of people who grow bitter and began to resent giving their best in what they do. Perhaps they had been greatly disappointed for a good many times and that's why they even resent the thought of having once given their all in doing something.
I have thought of myself too..how I react to being assigned something which takes a lot of strength, time and not just these..but my entire being too. Like loving the people God has placed in my life, like being a better and more excellent worker every single day, like loving God and choosing to obey even when I don't understand why.
There are many things in life that does not seem fair. But really, life isn't necessarily fair. People don't get appreciated the way they deserve to at times. There are merciless killings taking place somewhere in another part of the world even as I type these words.
But God is fair. He is just and He is all good.
I always take comfort in knowing that even when no one else knows what has been done, given, sacrificed..it's okay. Because God knows it all and He looks at the heart. :)
Be better, not bitter.
