If you truly believe that you are trapped, then you are definitely trapped.Originally posted by dragg:how many are actually capable of breaking out of the cycle? many of us are trapped.
Fact is, this 'lifestyle' is not just limited to Singapore. It happens to most people regardless of which country they're from. I think the main reason why most people feel trapped is because they did not achieve their dreams. Everyone has dreams, but not everyone has the will and courage to achieve them, and because it's easier to settle into routine, many choose that route and ultimately become trapped in a cycle.
As with all things, the first step in breaking out of the cycle is to acknowledge that you are trapped and need to get out. It is never too late to get out and seek for what you want from Life. -
Let's not be confined to the limitations of this society, but step out in faith believing in ur vision and ur dream. visions and dreams are found in the deep where not many dare to achieve because they're stuck at the shallow end.
it is easier to be in the shallow region because it is safe and sound. but ur dreams will not be fulfilled or come to pass without u taking the first swim to the deeper end. all dreams require risk. thus, stepping out is a form of believing in urself.
then again, it's also alright to remain in the shallow area, but the price to pay is losing ur vision and dreams which are life's most precious satisfaction and achievements no one ever imagine. for it is more precious than any silver or gold.
unfortunately, the richest place on earth is still the cemetery. where, buried 6-feet beneath the ground, lay dreams that has never been fulfilled, goals that have never been achieved and visions that have never been made into reality.
thus, (victory can be achieved only when one is willing to pay its price - sun tzu). -
