Cheer up, my friend.

I like the last one, especially.
That which does not kill me, only postpones the inevitable.
That which does not kill me, only makes me stronger.

Ambition.

'I want a big car, a big house, a well paying job when I grow up!'
I will always distinctively remember what my childhood dreams were. Childish, outlandish, mundane, common, boring, label them as you may, everyone has their ambitions. I have childhood buddies, who are sportsmen wannabes, dreams of being the president. Let them dream, for it is, definitely, a start to something bigger.

And as we grow, our ambitions change. To things greater. Things closer to our hearts. Ambitions, now filled with a sliver of maturity of age. No single ambition, however should be taken lightly, or should be put down, young or old. For I believe, that everyone has his worth, and is entitled to his believes. It is not wrong to have desires, dreams and aspirations, my friend. He who does not have one, is nothing but a shell. I'm sure you get that. Nor should one fear failure, or rejection, and allow it to be his downfall. If you have that particular wish, desire, chase it, my friend, pursue it. Why be afraid to fail, only to stand and watch the prize falling into the hands of another? Why not be the winner? Why repeat the mistakes of people in the past whom have failed, and choose to concede even before the battle's begun, back down even before the jury's decided the outcome? Don't be disheartened, and give up here. If you've set your eyes on the goal, go for it.

戏剧收尾,谁不希望?

Yeah, it's true, life isn't always fair. A happy ending- whom doesn't wish for one? No one is telling nor putting you under compulsion to do anything against your principles. After all, what's wrong with giving it a shot? Friends would understand. And tell yourself after the whole episode is over, that, hey, I've tried, and I will not regret it.

Agony.

The main part of your misery, the fear. Fear of whom and what, of which you are clearest. Don't look down on yourself, don't put down your potential, not underestimate your own worth. For through your own eyes, you may be worth only 10 points, but in the eyes of another, perhaps, many times of that? You've set your heart and mind towards that target. You've debilitated. Had sleepless hours thinking, wishing for the other's well being and safety. Why not, give it a try?

What I've learnt, keeping emotions in check on the outside; it's only a bare facade, you're crumbling beneath. Rein in the horses, or set them free. It's do, or die. Grab the opportunity, or forget. If you're determined to release that particular emotional package, so be it. Do not, however, immerse yourself in needless troubles and worries, or live in misery and longing. You're just adding a misery factor to your otherwise normal daily life.

Adversity.

Who said life was ever smooth-sailing? To a small minority, perhaps. But not everyone gets that privilege. Adversities, obstacles are aplenty, throughout our attempts at success. Think of it as a maze, you start, with the target in mind. You have to pass different obstacles, meet dead ends. But if you try hard and long enough, perhaps you'll succeed of getting out, and winning the prize. What I feel, you shouldn't, let anything come into your way, since you'd already made up your mind. The road will be hard, but you'll have people beside you all the way, I'm certain.

This is for you, my friend, cheer up.
