Unexpected Advice

I am amazed at how people can give you help when you never asked for it. Recently, I met a few in school and today, I'm feeling a lot more at ease thanks to these people.

It was only a week ago when I met the first. I was admiring an arts exhibition upstairs from my classroom when this old man came up to me and struck a conversation with me, all the while dropping advice and his opinions of life even though I never asked. As though God sent, the words anchored deep into my head. Those were answers I had been seeking for a long while, and just when I thought all hopes are lost, some stranger comes by and hands you valuable pieces of advice.

The second person whom has helped me without request was one of my classmates from Malaysia. We were merely talking about work when he decided to share the lessons he had learnt from his attachment at Sentosa. I was deeply impressed and envious. Even today, he is sharing his lessons and opinions with me. At the same time, I've gotten to know of this new girl in class whom I now regard as a sister and friend. She adviced me about my setbacks and offered me solutions, regarding my work attachment and my depression due to bad working environment.

"Dun becos of people then degrade yourself, and most importantly .. start in tiny steps first then go for the big steps later" She said.

These people have contributed to me, and I am deeply grateful to them especially at this point of my life; when I'm currently going through the toughest period in 22 years of my life. I hope that someday I may give back to them what I earn along the way, and share my treasures with them.
