30th Nov 2008(Alternative)

A Couple had planned for a picnic on a romantic Sunday afternoon at changi beach.When the day had arrived, it was raining heavily.The boyfriend don't want to see his girlfriend disappointed and cracked his brain to find solution.He rented a car for a day, brought a few fast food and fetched his girlfriend to mount Faber.He parked his car on the submit and the couple have the picnic in the car while enjoying the view from mount Faber in the rain.

Another couple plan to just relax on east coast beach.When the day had arrived,it happened to be raining heavily also.So the boyfriend had a change of plan.He called his girlfriend and said that he was busy.So the guy spend the whole day playing video games at home.


Both guys from the stories had a change of plan, but only one person had achieved his actual intention.

I once had a friend who told me to stay in a place where i took all kind of alternative solution and nothing seems to turn out well, he got very frustrated(very fast) and said i was a quitter.I was confused at that time between when to actually give up and when to keep on trying.Eventually, i left the place to look for the solution.

I learned that taking alternative means trying to achieve the same goal by taking different approaches and methods.

It may sound easy, it will get harder once the pressure get high and quitting become the easy way out.

In our daily life, we can find all sort of people looking for alternative solution.

Foreigner having a tough time making a living at their own country, leave their country to look for a better life.

When i was younger, i saw this documentaries about a cancer patient.
The doctor said he has cancer, and chances for him to recover is very mild.He is going to die.
The patient(this guy is from japan) refuse to resign to his fate.He decided to take alternative measures.
He begin to spend his time researching on books that taught him all kind of ways to boost his health.

He took all kind of raw vegetable and vitamin pills everyday.He exercises to keep fit and keep himself thinking positivity everyday.He try yoga and a weird of exercise that allow him to "bath" in the sun everyday.

After years, the doctor examined him and found that he was cured.

The question here is this, he did drop the idea of going to the hospital to receive treatment.Is he a quitter?

I believe there is a grey area for any person to be label a quitter or conqueror when it comes to finding an alternative solution.It's either a "political" view or a personal view to label the person.
