''Disappointments are something that we all have to struggle with, but the important thing to remember is that you have the free will to decide whether you're going to wallow in self-pity or rise to the occasion''T. Kittiwattana*
After being handed with a Thai Bangkok Post newspaper from my housemate who recently just got back from Thailand, I was lucky enough to read the above quote from a mid 30 Thai managing director of his family business. It's simple but somehow very powerful. It inspires me to expand my thinking toward ‘disappointment’, which I am currently facing it for quite sometimes.
I'm sure nearly everyone of us has had the feeling of disappointment and usually get over it in different ways. As T. Kittiwattana said, we have two options to be picked, whether to sink yourself with worsen melancholy or turn it (disappointment) as a dynamic drive to your future success.
I totally agree with that.....though, to me, I still don’t know if I have picked (or even trying to pick) the first or the latter way to cope with my disappointment! Perhaps, the only solution to this for now is to have a little break to somewhere I belong. Yes, I may need a recess month and ‘stop’ before coming back to what I’ve been heading for…..
Sorry Juup for what I have done to you...I hope we at least could be friend....even for a good old friend......
Stupid me, Theo

PS. I love this song; Bruises by Chairlift. It doesn't go with this entry but think at least the music could cheer me up :)
