Susan Boyle you gave me energy

I can't deny that as years go by, I become worried about why I am still doing what I am doing. I should be big or famous or rich or successful and already got what I dreamed for at this age. Well, life is not that easy anyway. So, sometimes I just try to give up hope. Thinking to live on easy and comfortable, perhaps hoping for chances on the way but this is more like winning lottery instead of trying to do some real investment to reach my goals.

Today, I was writing some work when I tumbled upon this. Susan Boyle is 47 years old when she joined Britains Got Talent 2009. And she is really good. I think she is a good example of as long as you are living on doing what you believe you should and you like, you might be successfully some day, no matter how long that will take. Or well, even if you failed to be successful, you should have no regret.

While writing the above, I can imagine many would say that, if she has fought and tried harder before, she might be successful even at an earlier age. Well, I do not know much about Susan so I do not know whether she had tried hard before. But I do believe that everyone has a place or role in life, that you can perform in the most optimum way. Get out of that and trying to be someone else will no doubt gets in your way to be anything in life.

Again, writing the above leads me to another incident that I met a while ago. On my way back home from the train station, I saw a man running to the station in the hope of catching the train which was reaching the station. This made me thinking that, there might be two types of people in the world. One type, like the running man, would rush to their goals in the fastest way they can, and do not mind taking up some risks on the way. (If the train was gone when he reached the station, he wasted his energy and need to wait longer at the platform, now that is a risk you see...) And then there is another type of person who does not mind taking some time relaxing on the way. The goal is just something which motivates them to go on and enjoy the process. Put in the exact same situation, I think they would be still walking towards the station, being happy that if they keep this pace of walking, at the time they reach the station, the next train would be just there so they don't have to wait on the dull platform, can enjoy their way there more :-) (Now guess which side I am on...)

Of course, in different situations people react differently. I just mean as a whole there are easy-going and don't mind some waits type of people and totally purpose oriented people. Perhaps most of us are somewhere in the middle of the two extremes.
