LIFE IS BORING ... IS IT?

My nephew, Hans, is a very brilliant boy, has a very advance thinking and a mind of an adult. He's 11. When he comes home from school, he will immediately say, "it's a boring, boring, boring day!!!" Yes, he finds his teachers, classmates, friends, and subjects boring." At his age, he knows many advanced chess moves. His playmates can't even cope up with him with the DS Nintendo, PSP, play station games. He thinks quickly and whatever he does, he does it without haste.

Just like Hans, many times in our lives we get stuck, and we find no meaning in what we are doing. Many live routine lives; they live lives that are not open to new adventures and new learnings. As such, these people conclude that life is boring, that it is not worth living. Well, is it? If we are doing something and for a time you don't succeed, don't give up right away, rather you should check and see what could be the matter. Once in a while, it pays to look into the causes of depression, anger, and constant irritability. It is even wise to know the reasons for your unhappiness or your anger.

SLOW TO ANGER

Anger is a strong, potentially destructive emotion. When you are personally offended and your feelings are hurt, it's always best to check that immediate reaction of wanting to tell someone off. Confrontation to resolve a difference may be necessary, but using restraint, allowing to cool off, is always wise.

Not all problems have such a happy ending. But the possibilities are greatly increased when we are slow to wrath. When aroused to anger by an untrue charge or a cutting remark, count to 10, to 20, or to 100, if necessary.

Lost your temper did you say?
Truth says, state it in this way:
"When I count the tragic cost,
Would to God it had been lost."
