The purpose of it 10:14 PM

Today I've attended a Dharma class on stress in university, "a way forward". I've decided to attend this class but because I am really stress but I felt that Dharma is something spiritual that directly and indirectly affect the way we think and feel.

Allow me to describle the speaker who is a vunerable, age about 30++, who has lot's of humour and definately a wise person. He keeps you thinking by asking you question when you asked a question. Wait a minute! He started asking question and how can he address you and started to ask for my name as well. As expected, after replying my name, he asked whether am I local. Do I do as if I am not local? Well I guess that it is the way I present myself.

I've learnt 3 things to contain stress.
1) Know yourself, know your calibra
2) Are u able to reach a certain level
3) How can you do so.

Initially, I am very concern about studies as I've received my quiz result and it didn't turn out to be good and demoralising. But after his speech, I felt relieved. It is sometimes unusual to feel relieved or calm when you didn't do well in the things you are expected to do well. However, he said, when you are worried about the result or the outcome, it shows that you did not put in the best effort. Very true isn't it? Whatever the outcome is, the utter most important is that the best effort must be put it and there is no need to feel worried because it will not solve the problem.

Another value lesson I've learnt is how to let go things? Very simple. It is because you are too free. Why are you so concern about the things that there is no hope and not focus on the present state? You just have to do it, forget about the incident and move on (forward). It really set me thinking about the past where we regret the things we know we have to do and not doing it until the last end. Always remember that if the things is not done because of procastination, it will general lead to a bigger problem.

I would like to end this by saying we need to know the purpose of life. What exactly are our priorities? For that I hope will set you thinking if not we are like in a maze wasting time finding the way out for the purpose.

May all merits be shared and attained by sentient beings!
