The Reason
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Life (part 1) by thesoupistooheng
You're on the road to succes when you realize that failure is only a detour. - Anonymous
I just want to share with everyone something which I've learnt from someone.
Did you ever have any regrets in your life before ? Any thing you would've, should've or shldn't have done before? I'm sure everyone does.
Now we all know most of us are 21 years old this year or for the few of us going to be. For the past 20 years, we have regrets, made mistakes or done things we had never wanted to do. It could also be things you wished that you had done back then. Some people do wish that they could go back in time and change their past. I'm not saying that its wrong to think that way or its correct as well. Anyway time travel isnt possible, for the next few decades at least. We can't control time. However we cannot let time control us. Everything we do or say counts for each second. So there's no point in dwelling over the past. You would just be wasting time. Instead just take away what you've learnt in the mistake and carry it on in life.
Ok now just imagine that we are in the year 2028 when we are most probably 40 years old now. Let's say time travel is possible at that time and we are able to go back in time. What would you do ? Just be honest and true to yourself and not say things like "i would'nt wanna change anything blah blah cuz im think its wrong asdfghjklqwertyuio" o_O haha. So you imagine you can travel back in time 20 years ago when you're 21 again. How would you want to change your life? What changes could make your life in the future better so you wouldnt have any regrets at all?
If you're still following me, that's good. Right now where you're sitting or standing... went back in t You're 21 now in the year 2008. 20 years ago from the year 2028. You have just went back in time 20 years ago. Start making the difference now. How would you want to relive your life? You are reliving it now. Can you get the big picture now? So start making the change now.
I hope you guys can understand what im trying to say. I'm not encouraging everyone to dwell over your past. What i'm trying to say is that, attitude and your mindset are the most important things in success in life. Failure may just be a detour but success is always the end of the road. No matter how bad the detour may be, we must push on and carry on with the right attitude in life. Some may be lucky and some may not. But eventually we will all meet each other at the end line. =) Its nothing wrong to have regrets and feel bad about it. Afterall we are humans and we have emotions. What is important is how we have to get back on our feet after a fall and move on. There's nothing wrong with being wrong at all.
There are 3 ways we learn things in life:
1. Experiencing a value
2. Doing a deed
3. By suffering
There is no right or way wrong. The choice is yours. How do you want to live your life for the next 20 years?
