a little reminder

sometimes, it just requires a little reminder that how fortunate i am. i think i should count my blessing that i have a proper education, great family to rely on, friends that i can talk to when i need them, teachers who had been inspiring and enough to get by at the end of the day.

i was just happily and lazily watching the dramas and anime but i kind of forgotten that it is supposed to be study week. then, a friend posted a video about a korean contestant who has a talent in singing classical music. what is so special about him is his humble beginnings. he was left in the orphanage at the age of 3, ran out of there at 5 due to beatings. luckily, he managed to squeeze through high schools. and he claimed that he slept on the street and public toilet since 5. *mouth agape* i should give credit to him. he is in so many ways tougher than me i think. i always have been happily staying in my comfort of home till i was 18. *blessing in disguise*

yeah, it is a silent reminder that once in awhile that i need this story to remind me how blessed my life can be. who says comparison is not important. it is! we need to learn to appreciate more, want less and work harder. to commemorate this guy for his effort, i should start studying as well. let's get this done!

blogger is glad that he finally found a motivation to study. not because he has to, but because he learn that learning is such a luxury that he had always neglected. thank you for whoever is up there. i know you are looking down at me all the times. i just forgot to look up sometimes.
