its better to regret trying than to regret not tryingOriginally posted by celestial517:Hi all, i been reading through the forums and it seem to be a common sight about guys asking if they should confess, or if they should chase their ex-gf, or if they should risk friendship over bgr. But im gonna quote this story that encouraged me to take the leap of faith [although im 100% she like me but its the other issues that im grappling with] and here it is
A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying. - Meredith Grey
So hey, stop fretting. Its better to fail than to never try. But of course, know that sometimes, its better to move on AFTER trying. To all troubled friends out there, gambatte!

People live with hope.Originally posted by Bontakun:What I see in the post is this: Hope.
Hope is the one intangible and invisible force that many people are believing in, even to the point of staking their very lives in it.
No matter how rational and cynical we are, we need a pint of hope to carry on living. Hope is what we are living for. Without hope, we are no different from living zombies questioning our existance and purpose on this world.
Have you ever hoped you could earn your first million bucks? Have you ever hoped for the most wonderful and beautiful partner to be with you? have you even hoped you could make life good for you? What you do? You work towards it with hope in mind you could see the hope become TRUE.
However if you dismiss off hope and just live simply without even wanting or daring to hope that something good will befall on you. Nothing good will befall on you then.
I wanna write more but I have to compose email... So many things to do... So little time...
You will be very sad in life and down.The world can be full of negatives. Its not bad thinking about the negatives. But we all need positive ideals to push us forward, or u will lose the will to succeed.Originally posted by popikachu:People live with hope.
Without hope, they are not living... they are just wasting their life...
Hope. I guess everyone ultimately hope they have lead to happiness...
So i can say everyone hope for happiness right?
Another type of hope...
A person with hope of finding it's reason to exist...
This hope make the person feel like that person is without any hope too...
This is the hope i am holding...
