I was just thinking about how many things in life seemed lined up at the wrong time. I always hear adults complaining about how difficult adulthood is and going for work almost becomes a journey to hell. And the student whine about how examinations and all are killing them, when adults on the other hand claim they would love to give up their jobs and study once again. Maybe, when we are young. We should start our lives by working. Then we can better appreciate it when the time for studying comes.
Don't you find it weird. That all of us study and work so hard. Because we hope to be able to find good jobs that pay us handsomely. Essentially, we work for the money. But the ironic part is that how many people, in the twilight years of their lives actually spend that money they have worked so hard to accumulate. Should we not be the most wealthy when we are young, and there are a thousand and one things we wish to buy.
Maybe, we should begin life suffering from certain health problems. So that when we grow up, we know better to watch our diet and mind those fast food and instant noodles.
And as usual. I was thinking about NPCC. And how ironic it is that when we hit secondary 3 and 4, we assume leadership roles in the unit. And the heaviest burden in our 4 years in the cca comes when our academic workload is at its maximum. Shouldn't the secondary ones be the leaders of the unit. Especially since they are enjoying the honeymoon year of secondary education, and they essentially have the most time and energy to provide their full commitment. When we are still cadets, we cannot wait for the time when we will become NCOs. But when we end our NCO life. We look back with digust at how shitty it was.
I suppose, many of us do not appreciate the things we possess at present. When we are young. We wish to grow up quickly. And when we grow old. We hope to once again relive the care-free days of our youth. And everything in this life seems to have been placed at the wrong location of our timeline.
Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.
