The Good In Everyone

It's just so difficult to see the good side of something sometimes, be it of a person, an event, or a matter in hand. Sometimes you wonder, what's the point of carrying on, let's just give up and forget about it. The result will be the same anyway. What's the point of breaking my heart over and over again?

But undeniably, there's something good in everything. The good side of a person, the good things that come out of a certain event though it be bad, and the positive side of every matter on hand. As they say, when you look at a glass with water half-filled, do you see it as half empty or half filled? It's always easy to see the negative side, so that you can start blaming others, people arnd you but yrself.

Everybody has a good point about them. I once read a story about a woman who always had something good to say about everybody and everything around her. So one day someone asked her, what's so good about Satan, the devil. And she replied after much thought, "Well, I admire his patience."

Likewise, some irritating people, though they be irritaing, tactless and selfish, they may for example be positive about things and can be rather hardworking.

For judo, all I can say that it nurtures my sense of responsibility and determination to stick it through no matter how tough the going gets. I never knew I could be so strong; I nver knew I could get over a heartbreak so quickly. I think I've learnt how to understand why some things happen, know they must happen, have no choice but to accept about it. Even though it's saddening, it's easier to let go this way, if you knew why it happened. What come may, it doesn't matter anymore cause I've gotten over it.

A better example would be PW. I think it has killed most of us. However, I strongly feel that through it, it has brought my classmates and I closer together, not only the members of my PW group, but also my other classmates -- I have a deeper understanding of each of them, and the things that go around in class. Moreover, during OP rehearsals and practises, we present in front of anyone currently in that classroom. It has made me more confident of myself in front of them, and shown the more cheerful and bubbly side of me, though i must be careful not to lose myself.

I still have the sticker they stuck on me for OP. I'll continue to keep it.
