Today hasn't been a good day for me. Not for today. But I guess the entire week after the start of peer tutoring for maths during maths lessons. I don't know how to put my feelings into words. So I can do nothing but to suffer alone. I know my the school scheduled peer tutoring is for our good, but someone, whom I will always see in school, happen to walk pass me will say this to me: "Shu Ping ah, 是钱的问题". This sentence always freak me out in school! For those who are curious what am I actually talking about, message me or if you happen to see me online, ask me, I might try to say. :)
After telling mummy, she told me that maybe the person who always said this sentence to me is concerned about my future. So that person wanted me to work hard by saying that the school has hired (which means school pays money) to the peer tutors. But from what I hear from the peer tutors, they volunteered themselves leis. And so, every time that person will used "Shu Ping ah, 是钱的问题" to strike me down. Obviously that person is a teacher. So whenever I look for that teacher to consult my doubts, after answering me, he will say "Shu Ping ah, 是钱的问题, must work hard lei". Can your imagine how I feel? Should I be :( , :@ or :'( ? Or shall I think this way: That teacher is just trying to raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
Happening to read this short inspiration story on the web. Shall share with everybody. :)
Tasting Life
Before the young man began his studies, he wanted assurance from the Master.
"Can you teach me the goal of human life?"
"I cannot," replied the Master.
"Or at least its meaning?"
"I cannot."
"Can you indicate to me the nature of death and of life beyond the grave?"
"I cannot."
The young man walked away in scorn. The disciples were dismayed that their Master had been shown up in a poor light.
Said the Master soothingly, "Of what is it to comprehend life's nature and life's meaning if you have never tasted it? I'd rather you ate your pudding than speculated on it."

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves... Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you will not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
