Faith

Two days ago, I went out to have dinner with my colleagues. During the dinner, I remember a scene from a movie that I once watched and it played a major role in defining who I am today.

In the movie, the lead character was going to be married and went home to his parents' place where the wedding was going to be held on the following day. In the scene, he was flipping through the photographs of his parents over their long years of marriage. He asked his dad how did he knew that mom was the one for him. He himself was going to be married tomorrow but there is a nagging doubt in his mind whether his fiancee is the one for him.

His dad answered, "Son, when you look through these pictures of your mom and I, you can only see the parts where we were happy together. In between these pictures, we had thousands of problems and differences. There were times when both of us can't even stand each other. It takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice."

So I believe that in life, nothing is perfect. Work hard, play hard, try your best in everything. Always look forward to the next picture in life. I believe that is what having faith is all about.
