"Sniffles and Smiles": by Kristel Keith N. Nieva
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend
it once. God has given us life to have the opportunity to experience the happiness
brought by things on Earth. But life, not like most of us ask, never has a second
chance. Time cannot be brought back or even stopped to correct what we have
already done. We cannot pause it to times where we feel like we are in seventh
heaven, or to fast forward to those times we fell like we are in hell. And so it says,
there is really no destiny because things werent made for us, we make them. It is
just a matter of will and courage to face the consequences brought by things we
had done in the past.
Living involves tearing up one rough draft after another. Life is full of
mistakes, and it is our choice whether to make up for it or to leave things behind
and think that nothing really happened. But thats why God created tomorrow, next
week or even next month. To make us realize that it doesnt really matter it we did
something stupid, because every does it, but what matters most is how we fill up for
that mistake we had done. How we changed, and how it made us a better person is
the true essence of learning in life.
He who has nothing to die for has nothing to live for.
In three words, I can sum up everything Ive learned about life. It goes

Life is easier than youd think; all that is necessary is to accept the
impossible, do without the indispensible, and bear the intolerable.
To the student I would say, Life is principally multiple choice, but at the
end theres a tough essay question.
The meaning of life is not an unquestionable answer; it is an
unanswerable question.
