“DAD! What is this present you got me? A new car again? You know I can’t use it,” I said to my father as I noticed the newly parked automobile in the garage.
I’m not sure how many times I’ll tell Dad that he doesn’t need to give me costly stuff like vehicles, watches, clothes, shoes, or anything else because I’m not a materialistic person.
I understand that at my age, my peers would want to be gifted in this manner by their parents, but I am not one of them. I would rather want my parents not to spend money on me to buy luxurious items.
I would rather work hard than depend on my parents to provide for my needs. What’s the point of being old and strong if I keep relying on my parents like I’m a spoilt brat who always has to buy toys to be happy?
When I heard Dad’s heavy footsteps approaching, I rushed to meet him. I noticed he had just gotten
IT'S EXTREMELY challenging when someone becomes ill. They all work hard to earn a lot of money for their livelihood, but it is also gradually causing damage to their health.Overwork may sometimes be the source of the urge to work excessively long hours. We want funds for check-ups, medication, and hospital fees after being diagnosed with the ailment because of overworking ourselves.I know everyone has to work because when they don’t take a job; they are going to be in a dire situation. They can’t purchase food, they can’t pay for electricity and resources, they can’t pay for their rental housing, and they can’t buy what they want.Poverty or a dearth of finances is a crucial factor why individuals labor hard and become severely depressed and physically impaired. With the cost of living in the world being so exorbitant, even working hard is insufficient, so when people get ill, they do not
HOW can you determine whether a person is a good friend? Is it when they want you to be happy even if they don’t involve you in their plans because their evil deeds could sway you, or is it when they want you to do things you’ve never tried before?My definition of a good friend is simple: we all have a smile on our faces and we are delighted; there is no conflict and self-envy; there is no disparaging the friend when he turns away, and most importantly, he does not feel excluded from their circle of friends.My concept of a friend is the basic of the basics, so why it is so hard to find? It’s not uncommon among a group of pals; I see a lot of them all like that. But why is mine an error and cannot be found?Others argue that men’s companionship is ideal because it is pure enjoyment with no envy, as opposed to women, who are full of quarrels while being full of themselves, plastic, and self-exalte
DO you know the awful work that people always do? They know that nothing nice can bring them anything but misery, yet they continue to do it anyhow. They are aware of the implications of their actions, yet they continue to engage in them until they experience negative effects, at which point they will change and cease their behaviors.They may have avoided a disastrous conclusion if they had stopped the first time they were advised not to do so.But I was always wondering why forbidden is so delectable? They can provide you comfort and pleasure in life, but may also bring you harm.I grasped my head since the agony was still there and my eyesight was becoming blurry, so I took a big breath. “I need to hurry to my room before my parents see me in this condition; they regularly come home, so I have to hide,” I told myself.I attempted to rise again because my foot felt like a withered
HEARING the words, "you are the most important thing in our lives." from my father's mouth gave a different tickle to my heart. I always thought to myself that I am not important in my whole life because I was blinded by what I heard from other people’s mouths.I didn’t even think the expensive things they give me are a way in which they indicate they love me, so the expensive gift they give me is worthless because the one they truly love and cherish is none other than me.It was as if I wanted to be swallowed by the earth because I used to think they were giving me gifts for nothing. I don’t even think that the price of what they give me is just low compared to myself, as dad said earlier.Am I undervaluing myself?"All right, dad, we're going to the hospital tomorrow," I told him. Although I don't want to know the result of my test, if that can give peace of mind to papa's mind, I
HOW can you tell that you are lucky with your parent? Is that when you have a loving mother and a reliable father? Or is it a wealthy parent who will buy everything you want, even if it is too expensive as long as they make you happy?Me, I can say I’m lucky with my parents because they always take care of me even if it’s very hard for them to understand me. Not only are they loving, reliable, rich, buying everything I want, but they are the people who are always on my side, even when the world doesn’t like me. My happiness is their happiness even if it hurt them and they want to see their child improve into a better person.“Dad, thank you so much!” I said to him, and I saw he shook his head while smiling.“You’re always welcome, young boy. If you have a problem, just come to daddy! Hahahaha!” he said, so the smile disappeared from my face and was replaced by a frown
WHAT will you do when you find out that you are going to die? When is your life going to be set in stone? Will you spend your last days on earth living in ecstasy or will you devote it to battle your illness although you have no guarantee of survival?Because I’d rather spend the rest of my day knowing that I was happy before I vanished from the world. I don’t want to fight in a game where I don’t know whether I’ll win or lose. Not wanting to squander the rest of my life and delight on something that I believed would not save me, so I decided to forego the idea.Both have benefits and drawbacks because nothing is 100% harmonious. The fact that I choose to enjoy my time on earth rather than recover makes me feel as if I have squandered the life and happiness that I would be able to obtain when I am fully healed. But If I opt to seek professional help, it’s as if I’m squandering the remainder of my life in t
DAD abruptly rose to his feet, allowing me to examine him. “Dad, where are you going?” I inquire.With a meagre smile on his face, he glanced my way. “Zacheus, I’m sorry, but I have a few things to take care of at work. Rest there first, since tomorrow you’ll be returning home and you’ll need plenty of energy, okay? Don’t worry, I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m done with my tasks,” he reassured me.I gave a head nod. “All right, dad,” I said as he turned to face me and began walking out of my room. When he finally exited the door, I let out a big sighed.I’m sure my father is having a difficult time right now since I became ill when he was preoccupied with his job. He bears a great deal of responsibility in our town, since he is a senator, and they expected him to perform a thorough job.I gave a sour grin. “
HAVING someone trust in you and think that you can accomplish your goals is really gratifying. Particularly if your parents say it to you.Though I think I’ve reached the end of the battle, they’re supplying me with a drive to keep going and not quit in the midst of a fight, since I believe it to be over even if I’m just getting started. We should not be terrified of our opponent’s clutches; they seem frightening and lead us to believe that the conflict has a conclusion even if it does not.They don’t make me feel like a loser after I discovered I am diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Until they are compelled me to continue the fight, I will move forward! I will not squander my life because I believe I will perish at the end of the day.We only have one life, and if we give it up instantly, there is nothing we can do to prevent it from being taken away from us forever.
