Change

I was quite downcast lately.In fact,I was unhappy and stressed out for a few weeks till now.But,at this moment,I am happy.Because I have made up my mind to make a change,to make a different,to treat myself better-to be happy.

As Abraham Lincoln once said:"Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be."

Absolutely,one's attitude affects their opinion and prospective of life.One's thinking affects their lives.If we choose to live happily and cheerfully,we could possibly make the most of life and live each day with happiness and satisfaction.

A week ago,my teacher asked me during the MUET class:"Winky,what happened to you?Why you are keeping quite?Unlike the usual Winky we have known,you used to be very active and talks very often.Why are you seemed like a different person now?You must have something that bothered you.Do you mind to share your problem with us?"I just smiled reluctantly as an answer to her question.Deep down I know that it is something up with me recently that makes me feel so uncomfortable and bitterly unhappy.


Yesterday,my teacher asked the same question again:"Winky,I noticed that you are quite quiet and passive recently?What happened to you?I can see it by observing your body language.Where's the old Winky who talks a lot in the class?Now we can only see a different Winky who looks tired and seems like uninterested in anything and fed up with Form 6.Anything thing wrong with you,Winky?"She asked me thoughtfully.Once again,I smile a bit and shake my head to deny it.


Yesterday my class monitor told us that we will be going to visit SMK Taman Melawati today for watching our seniors performing kolokium program.I was decided to go but after a second thought,I have changed my mind.I took 'scare-to-be-boring-till-death' as an excuse and made up my mind to stay at home.


I was slightly regret of my decision when I woke up at 8:45am from the bed.I sat alone beside my bed and lost in a deep thought.I couldn't focus on doing the revision on Business subjects as I have planned to do the previous day.So,I took my vampire novel and sat down to read,escape from the tension for a little while.Then,I picked up a self-help book to read:'Why Positive Thinkers Have The Power'.Finally,I have found myself living like a dead-living person for a whole two weeks.I was living in depression and angered lately.But today I have resolved to live happier.As a saying goes:"Men are disturbed not by the things that happen,but by their opinion of the things that happen."
