Make hay while the sun shines.

勿失良机。

Last night the toothache woke me up and it was very difficult for me to get asleep again.

I felt very depressed then, living a poor life, having no money to buy a house or just rent a big one for my lover who has been pregnant, even a healthy body is too much to hope for.

I work hard, I always keep doing exercises to maintian healthy, I believe I can succeed through my consistent efforts, but the reality always got worse.

Why am I always the failed one even when I tried my best to pursue some dreams?

For many things assigned to me, I never said it was impossible and I always tried to finish them before the deadline, but what did I get from my hard work? Nothing, nothing.

Maybe I should figure our what I am really good at, and then just concentrate on them.

It is said that everybody is a genius, buf if we judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid and inferior to others.

However, what am I good at? There is no obvious answer.

Maybe life is set up for me to have failures and setbacks. I should accept the truth and stop my pointless struggle for a better future.

Let it be, someone will fail all the times, then let me be the one.

A lantern can give you light only when you light it.

灯笼若要闪亮，需要你去点亮。

From Munia Khan.

It would be better if there could be someone who can shed some light on my road forward.

But most often, people would be more willing to help those who are able to and willing to help themselves first.

So it is fatally important to show we are worthy of people's help.

Down in the dumps. Got the blues. Under the weather. Not yourself.

These are all phrases we use to describe those times when we just aren’t feeling up to par.

Whatever has you feeling less than optimal, the sure plan of action to get back in the game and feeling great, right?

Sometimes, it’s just a phase. That means, over time we’ll start to see an uptick in the way we feel.

We aren’t at our best right now, but we are working towards that and we will get there soon.

Other times the issue is deeper than that.

We might need to talk through things or consider options that will help us to better get to a place where we feel like ourselves, should we?

Don't worry about the future too much, the only way to ensure a better future is doing our businesses as well as we can.
