Harmony

  It's happening again, the negative thoughts stemming from my past memories of how some people treated me. The more I dwell on it, the more I feel mistreated. Those who always exclude me from group gatherings or consistently give me the unwanted or leftover portions make me think that perhaps, for now, I should solely focus on work. I'll do my best in my tasks and responsibilities, whether they're considered prestigious or menial. Be it a mental or physical task, I strive to excel. I intend to express my feelings rather than keep them bottled up inside, always attempting to address them appropriately. Regarding those who have treated me in such ways, perhaps all I can do is forgive them. However, that doesn't mean I need to be overly close to them. Is today a valuable day? I listened to Hiếu TV's podcast about IKIGAI, the pursuit of life's purpose by doing something one is good at, loves, can earn from, and that the society needs. I've started contempla...

Saturday, November 11, 2023 I feel the injustice when I'm not exceptionally outstanding. Everyone will eventually grow old. I once watched an interview with a 93-year-old woman. She said she knew her time left was not much, and she had a happy life. She advised to find passion and pursue it, as life will have more meaning that way. I, too, will depart from this world one day. I want to live a life like the present. As Jack said in Titanic, 'make each day count.' I want each passing day to hold meaning. I desire a mind free from envy and jealousy, and I want my compassion and forgiveness to be greater than ever. But I'll be a strong, independent woman, capable of helping many. I'll uphold myself and the good values, even if life is harsh or unfair to me. I hope to be strong enough, rational enough, and intelligent enough to overcome it. I want to learn, to excel, to succeed because I know in this unjust society, I must defeat it through learning and the values wi...

  Last week, several significant events unfolded, and I'm feeling anxious about the outcome of one of the decisions I made during that time. I'm uncertain about what the future holds, and whether it will be positive or negative largely depends on the upcoming team meeting next week. This uncertainty has been keeping me up at night. I returned to my hometown yesterday and arrived at my house around 11 a.m. After a long ride of more than 2 hours, I took a nap. Later, I explored my garden and found some delicious vegetables. I decided to make a bowl of ramen using these fresh vegetables. I hopped on my motorcycle, started the engine, but it didn't work. Unfortunately, there wasn't a nearby motorcycle repair shop. I had to push my motorcycle for over 2 km, I think. Furthermore, despite many people passing by, no one offered to help. So, I finally asked someone nearby for assistance because I couldn't push the motorcycle any further. Luckily, they agreed to help me. They...
