Commitment Underlying Strong Pillar

Phnom Penh-Do you believe in LUCK? How does “LUCK” help you in making decision and commitment?

[Different in colors serve the same goal]

As I have conducted a small survey, only few out of 15 people believe in luck.

Do you know why? Can you guess?

Probably, those few people might encounter some awesome events exceeding their ability or unexpectedly so that they feel it is because of miracle.

Of course, without any excuse, I used to hold this perspective when I was young. I thought that everything was a miracle. Plus, I always expected the things I wanted to come as I believed that sooner or later it would come. By just expecting something to come without taking any action, do you possibly think it would be coming?

 Well! “Never expected something would come if you did not take any action”, repeatedly said by me. Grown up to maturity, I have learnt from the environment surrounding so as not to expect in luck. 

Boat even needs gasoline, what about people? (Commitment?)

From time to time, after I decide on making thing to happen, I put more effort on it; I do not know when I could achieve it, though. To illustrate, I was willing to take part of IFL scholar majoring in English, and I tried to study hard as I spent a whole year for Bridging Course class. Never have it happened if I did not put much effort in it.

I referred, “Thinking and expecting regardless commitment and real action, the plan would be useless.”

Time flies fast, So do not wait!

The last message I want to send to you is that “Do not wait, Do it right now. The sooner, the better. The more you lose, the more you gain. Standing up at the lowest point, it does not as hurt as you have never had willing to stand up.” Commitment first and Luck may or may not come later.

Happiness Is A Choice

Or it will not be...

Phnom Penh-How do you define the word “HAPPINESS”? Does it refer to money, love or anything else?

“When I have money, I can buy what I want, and I will be able to go where I want to”, said by someone. Actually, people are ambitious. They possess unlimited desires. Regardless long or short period, most people thinking like someone mentioned above would feel the sense of happiness.

Similar to the above mentioned, a little girl I used to talk to said with slightly red face, “Once, my family’s finance came to the peak. The atmosphere at that time was marvelous. But everything changed after my parents' business bankrupt. Having no or little money is so miserable. Thus, having money is having smile and happiness.”

Love means everything not money!

 Does the Money actually buy or own the HAPPINESS?

“I think Money cannot buy happiness”, said by young boy. Why does he say like that? He added, “Though I was born in a rich family, I have never felt happy. Do you know why? My parents are business people; they work non-stop without having holiday. Sometimes, they even forget my birthday. I truly need caring from them." 

Is it having much money called happiness? 

It is not hard if I am asked to choose between money and love. I would choose LOVE.

You might say having no money, how can we survive or have happiness in the family?

Well! I will prioritize it then. Love should be happen first among entire family. Money is used as apart only to support the family. It is enough!!!

Happiness implies love. Comparing to Love as the spirit, Money is the physical human being. They formed LIFE and LIFE here mean “LIFE of HAPPINESS”. Here comes to the ends.

Happiness happens everywhere but not every time!
