learn to live with stress.

As we grow older, it become inevitable that we take on more responsibilities, more burdens, whether by choice or not.  some choices have 1 option (i.e., no choice), but it is the right thing to do.  It is all too easy to lose yourself and wallow in self-pity of why-am-i-not-a-millionaire, why-am-i-not-able-to-do-the-things-i-like and why-do-i-have-to-do-everything.  Too easy. Such naive emotions spill out because on most days you act like an adult.  But being a real adult is not just acting like one.  It is taking the difficult responsibilities, the heavy burdens, alone if it has to be.  It is scary and stressful and can make people unhappy if they don't know how to cope with it.  It makes sense to feel overwhelmed because it is the first time you take on such heavy things.  But I guess you will get used to the load and become stronger with it.  Just like how we train in the gym, when we stretch our limits, it is difficult, but we grow.

So, learn to live with stress and make the stress work for you.  Make it the motivation and the drive to continue the journey in life.  

sometimes i understand how smart alecs feel.  their mentality is that why bother asking when you already know the expected response. but i guess when this becomes a habit, the automatic formation of assumptions can be very damaging.  So. sometimes it's better to slow down and ask one question at a time and not rely on any assumptions.

weather today is crazy. it rains through the sunshine when i was going to work. it poured when i reached office. the sun was bright during lunch. and it probably will rain later, and then the sun will come out before it sets in the evening. then it will probably rain again. And stop. And then rain when i am sleeping. freaking much like the stock market.
