Fish fry in my fish pond! My fish has babies, I am so happy

I saw tiny fish fry swimming in my fish pond one morning. Happiness! My fishes have babies. I am so happy. It's a bountiful occasion. I have a small fish pond outside my house, on my porch, and now I am so glad that the fishes have multiplied. Nowadays every morning, I may even spend more than half an hour just looking at the small tiny fishes swimming around.

I also have an aquarium inside my house. Initially the fishes in the aquarium are doing fine, swimming happily here and there.

Oh dear, I muttered something I shouldn't, How?

Life is complicated. We are always tested.
Sometimes life treats us well, we are happy, nothing out of ordinary happens and we carry out our daily activities as usual day in and day out.

But, sometimes we have to face difficult situations, challenging exchanges. And not everyone is born with the gift of gab. Especially me. I am not good answering and am slow in processing information.
For example, somebody come to complain to me about why you all do this and that. In my respond, I may have said or utter some words which I am not aware of. So how?

Normally this happens when the more we talk, the more excited we are, we can't remember what we say. Oh yes, when we convey to our friends or family members the situation we are stuck in, the first thing they say will be, "you should not talk to them" or " Why do you continue with it?" or "You shouldn't have said those words". These are the comments that do not help but hurts even more.

So, how? I myself is stuck in this situation now.

I am sad now. How? I don't know. But what I know is I feel better after writing this out. Well, hope I can sleep now. Good night.

Why me?

Most of us ask this question when something's gone wrong. But do you ask yourself when you are happy or suddenly receive a present or got a lucky draw?

No, why?

So, please ask questions but positive questions! Oprah becomes famous, and wealthy by asking questions. It's because she asks positive, encouraging, engaging and motivating questions!

Asking questions to ourselves is good. In fact, asking questions and knowing how to ask questions can even make people rich, look at Oprah Winfrey. She becomes a multi-millionaire by just sitting down and asking her guest questions!

Instead of "Why me always fail in my test? Why me only got a scolding from teacher? Why me so unlucky get involved in this mess? " Let's turn the question around and ask "Why not me?" Or "Why not she/he"  Then look at it from the opposite angle. Example, "why me fail in this test, and not Janice?" Answer:  " Because she is smart? Because she studies harder? Because she pays more attention in class? Because she does her work well and with great concentration?" In this way, we are actually slowly going towards the positive mode.

Marianne Legato, MD, founder of the Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine at Columbia University, whose latest book is Why Men Die First: How to Lengthen Your Lifespan, says

 "To get motivated in a healthy way, start by asking yourself a series of questions,"

So let's ask ourselves a series of questions. Questions starting with "How" is also a good start especially for motivating young children to learn.

Do not wallow in misery, as it's our life! Take charge of ourselves and action on our part. Just as
John F. Kennedy's famous quote

"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." 

Let's try turn our luck by asking ourselves the correct questions. Not by wallowing in sorrow and misery.

Stay positive and you can find happiness from within!

May we all be blessed with luck and happiness always !
