Aphorism #1
"Get as much help as you can when you need it."
I never relied on others to help me. In the past, I never dared to ask for help from others. I thought that I was a bother to them. I was used to hanging out on my own and minding my own business. But now, sometimes, I would ask for others to help me. I find it really nice to know that there is someone there to help me. Because of this, I still found it hard to ask other people questions at times.
Aphorism #2
"Learn to forgive others and forgive yourself."
I believe that forgiving yourself and forgiving others is a way of moving on. Forgiving someone can be very hard. Take me for example, I find forgiving people very hard. I find that forgiving my brother is a very hard work. Ever since my brother has begin to be stubborn, I found him extremely irritating. Everytime he breaks, or destroys my property after my warnings, those were the toughest moments. I have to resist whacking my brother on the head for not listening to me.
Aphorism #3
"Don't assume that it is too late to be involved in something. "
There are moments in my life, especially the first day or class of school or piano lessons, I would be uncomfortable if I was late on that day. Sometimes, I would try to avoid going to that class just because I was late. I hate being late because I believed that if I was late to a party or game, I would be left out because everybody would have a place in the party or game already and it would be really hard for me to join.
Aphorism # 5
Be Hopeful but not foolishly hopeful.
In my life, I have been hopeful for things that I no longer hoped for. I find that, in life, sometimes, hope can disappoint you. Nowadays, I hope on small unimportant things in life. The smaller the disappointment, the softer the ground is when I fall down.
