For all troubled people.

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! -

There are always 2 kinds of responses to a comment: positive and negative.
What I see from the TS is indeed very positive. Positive to the point of being too idealistic, but what he said has an element of truth.
You don't give it a go today. You rue the missed chance later.
You want to be proactive? Or reactive? That is your call. Just don't go around complaining "I should have done this" or "I should have done that" when you had the chance to do something about it.
I see this many times: You do something, there is a 50/50 chance. You do nothing, there is a 0 chance.
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.

Usually for troubled people, they are blinded. Blinded by their own emotions from the heart. Even if the solution is right in front of them, they just could not notice it. And thus without sufficient advice, life story and blah, they will be just wandering in the dark...
Many different opinions, life story and advice helped these people to feel for these solution and thus, finding their own way out of the situation. It builds up confidence lvl on these troubled people.
TS story is inspirating but does not imply for all troubled people... Probably, most of the troubled people have already heard of this story but they are still lost in the dark. -

Carpe diem my friend.
Anyways, I have a friend who had the same ideals, he went for a chick instead of pondering over what would happen if he failed. Worst decision he ever made, it totally messed him up for reasons I do not wish to disclose. So my point is: it's not always good to go for it. The wise man knows when to accept defeat even if it means not going for victory in the first place. -
replying is hell lot better than not replpying

hope and optimism is all good, but sometimes, false dawns cause more grief than dark nights.
always best to weigh your chances and make the best possible decision i guess. -

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...

It comes down to the person n how his character and his principles are. For those that dont risk at all in the end has nothing n is nothing. IF you think u can do it , u can have it and think u can do better why not ? So what if u fail , it will be another lifes lesson. ANother experienced impirinted , from failure u learn success.
I sometimes just dont get how ppl can be so narrow- minded ,need to see the bigger picture. Sacrifices need to be made. Who to blame then urself when u fail to seize the opportunities. WHy let others over take u when u couldve kept them behind you.
We all have troubles , but hopefully those that are still young enjoy life first. Dont let these little things trouble you, overtime you will eventually grow up and hopefully learn from mistakes. IN the end its your character that shapes your future. -
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.
