A Day, A Life
This morning, as I was sitting in the bus on my way to work, with the cool breeze, from the movement of the bus, blowing in my face, it struck at me how our life can be compressed into a working day.In the early of the morning, as we make our way to work, we are feeling so fresh, ready to face the challenges at work, and thinking abt what we are going to accomplish for the day. As we begin to start work, we are full of energy, and we seems to approach everything with much enthusiaism. Yet as the morning proceeded, things started to sway away from what we had planned and expected, with an increase in fustration and weariness. At midday, the much awaited long break finally arrived, lunch. After lunch, we expect ourselves, after a good rest, to be recharged and ready. But alas, we begin to feel drowsy and tired as the "Z" monster attacks. We make all efforts pushing ourselves to carry on, looking forward to the end of office hours, getting more and more weary as the day drags on. Yet when the official knockoff time finally arrived, some of us realised that we still had some unfinished work and thus have to carry on working. At last, we are able to knock off, thinking that we finally have time to do the things we like. Yet often, we found ourselves having no energy left, and we see ourselves idling the evening away until we fall asleep. Many of us will try all means to push our sleeping hours to be as late as possible until we can no longer hold out.
Parallel to life....when we are young and still in school, we are fresh, full of dreams, ideas about what we are going to accomplish in our life the moment we graduate. When we got our 1st job, we begin with so much vigour and ambitions, approaching everything with much enthusiaism. As months and years passes, we found that things were not going as we had expected. We begin to feel tired and unmotivated, longing for all the holiday breaks, and clearing our leave, thinking that once we have our break, we will be recharged. Yet when we come back, nothing seems to pick up. As we trod past our mid-life, it seems that all our energy has been sapped, yet we have to push ourselves to carry on working, all the while thinking abt retirement. Yet when the time of retirement comes, many will find that they have too much financial commitment to stop working as they have no choice but to carry on working past retirement age. When we finally retire, thinking that we can finally do all the things we have wanted to do, but then we no longer have the energy of the past. We felt that we are no longer young, and many will just idle the whole of their twlight years. Many will find all ways trying to prolong their life until finally its time for them to rest for life....
