Thanks @galenkp for the question of this week. I would realy like the opportunity to have a fews words with my 20 years old self. I know at that time she was stress and worry about everything in her life. She questioned her decision about studying, she doubted her ability to find a job, she compared herself with her peers a lot and couldn't stop thinking about it, she felt miserable with her own future, she was upset with her own comfort zone... But honey, I have to tell you this: Your 30 years old self are so proud of you, After everything, you worked so hard to bring us here. Remember there was a time you work days and nights, more than 14 hours per day so we could have enough money to study. Wow that time was crazy, right?
I am crying when writing this comment because of happiness. So my dear: Keep doing what you have to do, keep questioning things in life with your eager mind. But there is one thing I want you to do differently, one thing that would make your life easier. So here it is: I want you to keep this in mind: Everything happen for a reason and always come with a lesson to learn. Don't blame yourself, don't regret it, just keep your head cool and say thanks for the lesson. I know you are a good student, that's why life give you a hard lesson to solve. Again, smile and say thank you. That's all my dear. Love you.
This is a good line. When negative things happen people often lay blame rather than embrace the lesson which negates the lesson most times. It seems you turned out well and that you learned from your past indicates you'll do so again and make your future even better.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. In the last two years, I had a chance to learn more about resilience and mental wellbeing which helps me understand myself better.
There are a lots of things I need to learn more and I am so excited. Enjoy your weekend.
