Finally final exams came to an end. However, it is time to find a job. Sigh. Sent my resume, hope that I manage to get one as soon as possible.
Just finished watching an old movie – First Daughter, a romantic comedy film, casted by Katie Holmes and Marc Blucas. Borrowed from my housemate. It is quite nice though.
After I had watched the movie, I recalled the story that ben ben told me. Everyone carries a cross, which belongs to oneself, on the back.
Here it goes the story…
There was once a poor man who had a wooden cross. One day, he saw a man with an iron cross. The poor man admired the iron cross so much. He said to the man, “Can I have your cross? Let us exchange.” The man agreed, so the poor man carried the iron cross now. As he used to carry wooden cross, thus, the poor man could hardly walk with the heavy iron cross. Later, he saw a rich man with a gold cross. Again, he exchanged with the man. Of course, he felt harder. After few days with the gold cross, he gave up. The poor man searched for his wooden cross. Finally, he was backed to normal. He did not have to carry the heavy iron or gold cross.
He has His plans. He created different paths for us. Thus, do not admire others, be ourselves, live in our own ways. We should be contented with whatever we have now.
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
1 Timothy 6:6

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)
Although there are countless of things that we desire to purchase, we should always learn to be contented because the bad ones could take advantage on this.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. (Ecclesiastes 5:10)
Thus, be contented!
