Re:Nothing Particular

Nothing Particular Same here! Almost all day long, I’m waiting, but noting has ever happened like words of a song that was posted by cafemia before. So instead of yawning this late afternoon, I jogged 8 km just a while ago. A little bit of exercises when it seemed that everything is boring and I felt suffocated by staled air gives me fresh strength in me. And when I felt differently everything looks different. Quite strange and true it is! Hello! Amaryllis. Your nickname doesn’t strange to me, so I glad to see yours. Today, I didn’t feel like writing something. But your writing makes me a picture over my head. Frankly, I don’t have nothing particular such as good memories with friends and esp. with teacher. As you may remember, I’m a bashful child. I didn’t mark remarkable grades in school days. Now when I look back on my days of junior and high school, I cannot help but regretting a little. But I now think I have my own magnetic compass and maps that I need to navigate to the destination of my life. Not that precisely but rough guide is enough I think. Someone says figuratively such as a star as a goal or dream which often direct us right way. But if I could not get the help – wisdom, guide, affection, love, good and timely advice or economical (financial) support from others esp. from parents and teachers, I cannot be the what I am today. These are the maps in my thoughts. Literally, the map in it, there are mountains, rivers, plains, roads, cities, towns, highways, lakes, and maybe lots of lives, but there are difficulties, confusions, peoples who have always opinion against me, shortage of time and money, inability, mistakes, and frustrations in real life. But if someone has a goal, you finally can find your way. To some who believes in God, the God can be the very guider. I questioned to myself what it is for me. Do I have the compass? Yes, I had. But have I been on my way to the goal or something? Yes and No. Anyway that’s my share of thoughts today and not the main idea of this writing. Thanks for your story of new challenge. By the way, can I ask you a favor? When you teach in a classroom, please note the ordinary students and say to them warm-hearted and encouraging words as many as possible. I believe you can do it. I wish you luck with new job. –s.p.-
