The trains.

its my 3rd week in work. i arrived at 7:55am. i thought i will be late, but thanks a ot to God, i was even early. I was at the train station at around 6:50 in the morning. i was expecting that there will be few passengers since its still early. but i was wrong. the station was crowded, people don't stop coming in. i was a bit frustrated since it was already full of people, and the trains were also too. the only way to get a ride is to make your way to the thick crowd and push yourself in! actually i am a bit of a silent type of person. i like things to go smoothly. i don't like conflicts, rushing and chaotic situations. my basic solution for this problem was waiting for the people to get in first and hoping a spacious train to pass by. unfortunately, my expectations did not came. the station did not ran out of people.
so to get to work on time, i actually pushed myself in the crowd everytime a train arrives. it was like 9 trains that had passed by  before i had my own ride. it was a stressful situation.
after getting my ride, during the trip, i was like wondering if i did not pushed myself. maybe i was still standing there in the station, waiting...
in life, opportunities come, it is up to us to grab them. opportunities are there for us to be stronger. so expect the difficulties. we also do not succeed in every opportunity that will come. but what is important is the effort we gave, the growth we have shown in ourselves, the perseverance. opportunities like the trains that i have let to pass will never come back, like the ones in real life. so, if ever we get a chance on something we wished for, we must grab the opportunity or else, time will just pass us by. we maybe then waiting forever.
