I hate my life as well as i am stuvk in a CCA I hate the most
I know how you feel. All I can say is try staying positive and be thankful you have a life ahead of you.
Think positively, i know easier said than done, you know very well this is a practical world, but please don't only look at people exterior and in material, they might have something which you don't have? The love from your mother?
Remember, people will only show and tell you something glamourous, nobody will come to you and tell you they are very pathetic, they are suffering, they are having family problem etc etc.
When the door is closed, nobody know what happen, so don't always feel inferior and think you are lousy and negative. Everybody has their own way of living and different lifestyle, it does not matter eat restuarant or wear branded, as long as they serve a purpose to you. Eat at hawker does make you poor, in Singapore how many people eat at hawker daily, wear a non-branded shirt does not make you look poor, as long as you match them well, they still looks good on you and etc.
Getting financial scheme is not something to be ashame of, like i said, every family got their own problem, at least you are not robbing or doing something bad, why bother about them as long as you can continue to study and works towards your future.
JIa you!
Hope you recover soon!
cheer up man!
I eat hawker center everyday also, and very happy
Live happy is easy. You just need good health, money, knowledge and positive energy.
money?
hmm...........
tts wat make ppl unhappy, rite
hi all, if anybody says they dont need money to be happy, then he is liar. To me money is a tool to solve problems. And I am not talking about Oprah's money or rich tycoon. I would not be miseable and stressful if i have sufficient for basic living expenses, and have money to prevent problems, solve problems, make life easier, buy pizza whenever i want it, get thst vitsmin i want, tske taxi when i need. it, join group trips, pay medical by cash instead of tell them to claim medisave, etc etc.
Of course in some country, people use money to buy drugs, alcohol, and guns, snd they destroy themselves and others. or bribe, etc etc.
These are just my opinions, of course, different people hv different views.
Ever felt like u want something that everyone has but u cant have it because u were just born like that? Im not talking about money. Im talking about having a family, always there for each other. Ever hoped u had a father that can be your hero and have a sibling where u can confide everything to? Ever felt like a rotten and boring old book chucked at the back of the library shelf for years and not being read, because u were made that way and u cant change the content u hold?
How to Think Positively in Tough Times : http://365justdoit.com/think-positively-tough-times
Hey Bro! It's not ur fault that u r born poor but it ur fault that u die poor(heard it somewhere) well, the 'poor',I m referring here is not just about money, it's also about social life and stuyf. Now u suffer, but if u keep working hard, you will have a better future ahead! Work hard so that u can give ur mother a good life in the future. Study hard(if u r still schooling) so that u can break out from the cycle of poverty. Most of the successful peeps started out in shit env as well. If u can channel ur painful lessons on the right way, you can make it! I may not fully understand ur pain, but I really hope this msg will help you. Jia you and all the best! I will keep u in prayer!
I make my own meals at home cos it's cheaper than eating out even in hawker centres. And it's healthier. If something bothers you so much and you can change it, why don't you try and change it ?
Hi
In life you have to be strong. Why?
1. We live NOT by people's praise
2. We won't die by people's curse
All you have to do is be thankful what you have. I have a cousin who live with no father. Their mom isn't working, they aren't rich at all and they are 5 siblings. Their father left without anything. No news, no money.. But how did they survive? And really praise to the Lord, all of the children succeed In their life.
They live in such a way that they accepted their fate, they be friend with anyone that who accept themselves as they are.
People criticized, that their choice. After all we couldn't afford to shut people's mouth as long as they can talk, right? So just go by the flow. If you keep walking against raging water, you'll end up drown yourself.
Keep a friend that makes you happy. Let go of the people make you sad.
Maybe you forget, but let me remind you, everybody in this world is an apple of God. So cherish yourself because you're so Precious to God and to your mom.
Your mother actually the most poor thing in your life. So instead thinking of suicide, run away, whatever yoy want to do, why don't stick to your mother instead?
P/s sorry for my poor English. I am uneducated.
From where I sit, you were created by God for a reason. You don't have to accept or believe that world view, but that's how I see fellow human beings are which is mainly rooted in the Biblical world view.
So, you still being alive is a privilage to live the life you were created for. Be the best that you can be, help those who are in need, be compassionate to others, and be skeptical in everything you come across in life - put everything to the test.
As long as you are alive, you can live out that purpose and make a difference in the lives of those around you.
Life is short
live to the fullest
each of us is special in his or her own way
To live life happy, you need to enjoy the simple things, be easily content, for example, you dont have a new shoe, people dont have legs.
I read your post before, its alright to seek advices from forums. I'm glad you decided to work hard to give your mother a better life. Please don't give up and let those who look down on you give them a chance to have more reasons to look down on you even more. Don't feel bad about your life too, just work hard and be sucessful, the greatest achievement is to be more sucessful then those who think bad of you. Then you can prove to them that their always been wrong about you.
Grow old and wise. Make your life meaningful.
You only live once (YOLO!!!!) So, enjoy life to the fullest but productive.
I do agree that some life are "piece of shit".
But most of the times, there are several reasons that our life became a piece of shit.
The most successful men are the ones who are able to climb up the stairs from a piece of shit to a bright star.
What if it is the purpose of your life? you will gain great fortune in your life, and one day you will look back and see all the struggles you have fought to attain your success. And you will tell your story to others and motivate them...
You can't become a teacher if you do not understand. Do your best. Do not become pessimistic, attain your bright future. Change your life. You are the one who can change your life.
There is a reason for the darkest night, so the sun shines brighter.
I believe you will have a bright future and therefore motivate others.
I can tell you this, because I once a piece of shit and I am still climbing, but I am proud of who I am now than who I was back then.
God shall never leave you. You fall so you can climb even higher.

THE AWAKENING
A time comes in your life when you finally get it ... when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks & somewhere the voice inside your head cries out "ENOUGH!" Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on.
And like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening.
You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change or for happiness, safety, and security to come galloping over the next horizon.
You come to terms with the fact that you are neither Prince Charming nor Cinderella. And that, in the real world, there aren't always fairy-tale endings (or beginnings, for that matter).
And that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you ... and in the process, a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.
You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate, or approve of who or what you are ... and that's OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.
And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself ... and in the process, a sense of new-found confidence is born of self-approval.
You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you) and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say, and that not everyone will always be there for you, and that it's not always about you.
So you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself ... and in the process, a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and overlook their shortcomings and human frailties ... and in the process, a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.
You realize that much of the way you view yourself and the world around you is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche.
And you begin to sift through all the junk you've been fed about how you should behave, how you should look, how much you should weigh, what you should wear, what you should do for a living, how much money you should make, what you should drive, how and where you should live, who you should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.
You learn the differences between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with ... and in the process, you learn to go with your instincts.
You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is
power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix.
You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not outdated ideals of a bygone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.
You learn that you don't know everything, it's not your job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing.
You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.
You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
Then you learn about love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving and when to walk away.
You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You stop trying to control people, situation, and outcomes.
And you learn that alone does not mean lonely.
You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.
You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK, and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things you want ... and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands.
You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity, and respect ... and you won't settle for less.
And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect.
You begin to eat a balanced diet, drink more water, and take more time to exercise.
You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest.
And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.
You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you
deserve ... and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from working towards making it happen.
More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline, and perseverance.
You also learn that no one can do it all alone ... and that it's OK to risk asking for help.
You learn the only thing you must truly fear is the greatest robber baron of all: FEAR itself.
You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.
And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve, and that bad things sometimes happen to unsuspecting, good people.
On these occasions you learn not to personalize things. You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening.
And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state ... the ego.
You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy, and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.
You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.
You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.
Slowly you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart's desire.
Hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.
Keep smiling, keep trusting, and stay open to every wonderful possibility.
Finally, with courage in your heart , take a stand, a deep breath, and begin to design as best you can the life you want to live.
CHOICE BY CHOICE.
