You are the painter of life

    When we are born, we are a clean slate. As we get older, our slate is no longer clean. We dreamed to fill that clean slate with different kind of dreams. But now we have responsibilities and obligations that come with reality, there is no room for larger-than-life dreams.

But whatever we choose and do now will make up the whole picture of life. Sadness, happiness, enthusiasm or depressive , they are all parts of our lives.

All we have to decide is how to paint this picture with the time that is given to us.

Maybe we always want to make the picture full of happy color, but not everything is under control.  We have to face some bad or sad things, we should try to accept and learn from them. Sadness is what gives happiness meaning.

We can make the picture more meaningful and shine. Maybe we will meet some difficulties on the way, but we need to keep going. Preserverance is not a long race, it's many short races one after the other. So every step of life counts.

Such as now, I am writing here instead of watching TV or wasting my time. I am trying to reading more books to know more about this world which can add more color in my life's canvas.

Life is short, but you can choose to make it more meaningful. Try to make the picture of your life more and more colorful.

PS: Today, one of my articals is included into 30 topics, although the content is just one summary when I study, it shows that I didn't live up to learn. Just as a record to encourage myself .
