My Princess Diary

LeSsOn In LiFe.....

i just realised on sat while fishing with dear and his papa tt fishing also can be related to lesson in life.....dun believe?? well. let me tell u a story....hehehe.... go "wash" ur ears and i slowly tell u my lesson learnt.

we went to yishun dam on sat afternoon.
when we reached there, we saw the ppl over at the other end were all busy catching fishes.
fish after fish, they never stop. and i was wondering how come they can fish so fast. then i realised tt a school of fishes were swimming in the sea. imagine 1001 of them, so u just need to throw in your hook and bound to catch something. dun even need any bait lor. impressed rite. the fishes are not small ones, but about the size of our palm.

ok ok, lets not go off track, hehehe, must tell u the lesson in life.... if not one joss stick time also not enough.

ok, so what did the 2 guys did?
dear just continue to set up his rod with the live prawns which he bought and fished what he came for
and as for his papa, well, he kept looking at the other shore and was wondering why they can catch so many fishes
but he was also setting up his own rods with the live prawns
he only fished for a few seconds and he made so much noise. said no fishes, why ppl at the other side can fished so many.....
then i think he buay ta han liao, coz he didnt catch anything and the ppl at the other shore kept having fishes up their hooks. so he reeled back his hook and changed the hook.
and within seconds, he started to catch what the ppl at the other shore were catching!!!
he was damned happy abt it. he felt so accomplished he felt so satisfied!! =) so proud of himself. he caught 13 fishes and when the school of fishes all swam away, which means, no more fishes liao, he also stopped fishing, coz he thinks tt he had enough for the day.
and as for dear, he caught 0 fishes and was he happy?? well, i am sure he didn't feel happy but at least he is not catching fishes which he does not want.

so lesson which i learnt while sitting on the rock and seeing these 2 men fishing:-
u either follow the crowd and then feel proud and happy of urself. for whatever reason u may think of. (coz ppl caught fishes and u also caught. so no lugi. whether u like the fish or not)
OR
u dun follow the crowd, u do what u came for and feel happy but yet sad tt u didn't catch what u came for....... but try and try again, i am sure one day u will succeed!! just believe in yourself =))

so r u a LEADER or just a FOLLOWER?? =))

p.s. off track for few sec....
while fishing, i told UPSTAIRS (again!!!??!!?) if dear managed to get 1 fish, whether is it big or small, the co which i went for interview on friday will offered me the job.....so u know the answer liao rite.....but dear managed to reel back someone's hook with a fish hooked on it as a bait......so is UPSTAIRS playing a trick on me?? fished or no fished???......tts for me to find out then..... =P
