family, career & love..

Some people say that our life revolves around in three different aspects, family, career and love. They say that we can’t get everything we want at the same time. Sometimes, we have the best of family relationship or career but we don’t have the best in love life, or vice versa.

Family

“In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.” – Marge Kennedy

We have the greatest and unconditional love from our family. No matter what happen and how many times we stumble and fall, at the end of the day they would still accept and love us. Though many times we come across problems, we know that it would just sweep away after some time and we’ll be back again from the way we used to be with them. They are easy to please, they know how to appreciate even the small things we did for them.  

Love

“Love is the only rational act.” – Mitch Albom 

A seemingly simple word but hard to understand. It’s not a cheesy romance novel or movie we used to know. The reality of it is far beyond from that. They say that if you’re in love, you just love without thinking first of the consequences and without hoping for any assurance. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. There are times that you feel you’re too close to happiness but you have to let it swept away because at that moment you can no longer take the pain. At times of failure, we hope that picking up the pieces could be as simple as that. Sometimes you feel that it feels so right though it may look wrong to some. Sometimes, you’re surprised that you can do things or actions that you think you can’t do or wouldn’t do if you’re in your right mind. If after the long run, you realize that everything you do for the sake of love is wrong, will you be able say that it is just the rational act?.. Maybe yes, for that moment.

Career

“There is no security in life, only opportunity.” – Mark Twain

Most of us were after the security in life, that’s the reason why we work. We always search for a better career. Sometimes we have to leave our current job though at some point we know that we are happy being there, just because we are looking for a better opportunity. Transferring in new career means we have to face new challenges, new work environment, new nature of work and most of all new faces. Being in a new work environment is sometimes a very unpleasant feeling because we wouldn’t be with people we used to know and not all of us are good in making new friends.    

They say that we can’t have everything we want without sacrificing anything. We have to strive hard to get what we want, whichever in the matter of family, career and love.
