When you put yourself in the middle of a river your body will be carried away downstream to the mouth of the river where the water is polluted and stinks.

   To maintain the position at the same spot you have to do some swimming.

   An extra hard of swimming is required if you want to get to the purer, fresher, unpolluted water upstream at the head of the river.

 

Life is just like that, if you do nothing you cripple yourself physically, mentally and economically.

  • Good metaphor!
  • Yes, absolutely right Anele. I believe your enthusiasm in facing life will motivate others too.

    Everyone should realize that struggles are spices that make life colorful and challenging.

    Thanks Anele for your share on how you face your life !

  • Hello Mr Night, glad to see you again.

    I like your advice: "Forget every step you made, every pain you suffered, and only focus on how sweet the moment  would be when you taste the fruit of your success."  So go on swimming upsream !

    Thanks for adding color to my blog, Mr Night.

  • Hi Jenny, nice of you to visit my blog !

    Here what I did when I got no idea where to go .... I stopped attempting to go anywhere, I stayed on the same position and did whatever I found anything good regardless I liked it or not. And before I realized I was in a better position.

    Try it Jenny, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rewards !

  • Dear Zulkifi,

    I really enjoy your blogs, because I find wisdom in side them. It is true, no life with out movements. To survive you need to work hard. Food, money, and any needs wont go straight to your hand, you have to dig to earn them. If you reach the upstream, you will not only enjoy the spot there, you will also enjoy the journey to there. My advice is to forget and never care about how far and hard is to get there or How long. Forget every step you made, every pain you suffered, and only focus on how sweet the moment  would be when you taste the fruit of your success.

     

    Evey body should now after reading this great blog, say I want to reach the upstream!

     

    Regards

    Night
