Words

You see, what you say or write matters a lot. It has an impact enormous enough to completely alter a person's impression on you.

A friend of mine has just got embroiled in this problem. The problem is probably because he's too bold to say it out, or perhaps he's too cynical when it comes to studying. His expressing is bad. He uses a word that isn't appropriate and many people felt patronised or insulted. This creates an uproar, and various comics are drawn and photoshopped using his pictures to put him in a bad light.

Then there comes a second sentence he writes. It's also true, but yet it's insulting, especially if we know who he refers to.

This tells us something: language is a very powerful tool. Using it wrong or inappropriately can have a very dire result.

Some things, or truths, are not meant to be expressed. They are meant to be only felt, or concealed if expressing it can negatively harm anyone. It is true most of us are quite happy most of the time, or are already extremely ebullient when we managed to scrape through only one exam, but this isn't because we are stupid - this is because we simply have lower expectation for our achievements, contrary to what you believe, because you obviously have a very high expectation and ergo, feel stress.

Life is full of joy, and it's up to you to enjoy it. There are lots of fun scattered out there, and it's up to you to find it, enjoy it, or ignore it. Having too high an expectation is harmful, because then if you don't achieve it, you get disappointed, and depression follows. Why make yourself so unhappy?

Life is full of joy. Try to enjoy it and try to lead your life a different way, then maybe you'll realise why we are so happy even though our results ain't very optimistic.

Certain things require patience and time. Trying to get hold of something on first try is pretty greedy and is not going to work. Try to be patient and take things slowly, then perhaps you'll understand why most of us do not seem to be very stressed.
