The photo essay for HCL lol.
Can't believe I'm done with it.
I used this picture.
Shall translate the compo into English lol.
not direct translation.
The sun was scorching hot, the glare of the rays blurred my vision as I walked on and on.
My gaze zoomed in on a cottage seated on top of a hill.
My heart cried out, "I'm nearly there! It's just a stone's throw away!"
I dragged myself to the foot of the hill, yet what was in front of me was a flight of never ending stairs.
It felt as if this flight of stairs was a connection between heaven and earth; a hundred years would be insufficient for me to even get to the halfway point.
I stood there panting, not knowing whether or not to move on, but when I was reminded of the heavenly honey that could be found in that cottage, I had a sudden burst of adrenalin to climb up the stairs.
In life, this flight of stairs is like the obstacle we face when trying to reach our goal.
Whenever we meet with a problem, we usually focus on the problem itself, instead of trying to counter it.
Whenever we meet with a 'flight of stairs' in our life, we usually think about how long that 'flight of stairs' is, instead of attempting to climb up to get to our destination.
When climbing that 'flight of stairs', some of us only set our eyes on how menacing the remaining steps in front of us seem, that's why we don't feel like climbing up anymore, and we just want to give it all up.
The more optimistic people will not only look at what is in front of them, but also turn back to see how much they have accomplished, and what a waste it would be if they gave up just like that.
Their motivation comes from the 'cottage' at their destination.
After climbing up that long flight of stairs for about half an hour or so, I finally made my way to the top.
My face was as red as a ripe tomato, my sweat trickled down the side of my cheeks like little seeds, yet my heart felt so much sweeter than the honey I had just drank in the cottage.
I had to climb up that flight of stairs to get to the cottage.
In life, we have to overcome obstacles before we can experience the sweet satisfaction of reaching our goal.
It is your choice whether or not to complete all the 'flights of stairs' you face in your lifetime.
I am enlightened after writing all these which I thought were pure, total crap.
LOL.
