Finding Mr HOPE with Mr STRESS

       In a park, there was a boy running alone and shouting joyfully, "I wanna be a doctor! I wanna be a pilot! I wanna be everything!!!".

       He seemed to ignore his surrounding and shouted the same thing continuously. All people around him were whispering, "What's wrong with him? Why is he like that?" ..............


Chakkk!!!

But, as time goes by, that boy started to run slowly as he realized that his dream would possibly not be happening. There were lots of OBSTACLES in front of him making him hesitated to continue running. 

"It's impossible to be everything that I used to dream for", he's whispering. Slowly he started to walk. 


Then, he met a guy called STRESS and befriended with him. That guy taught him lots about LIFE.

"You know, life is tough. Not all your dreams can come true. Just come with me and I'll show you the way to lead your life".


The next day, that boy's everyday life started to have this kind of cheers,


and he forgot everything that he used to shout joyfully for.. His DREAMS were all killed by his own mind. 

"My colourful DREAMS are over. They were only my toys when I was a kid. Now I am an adult, no need to be so excited to have all those DREAMS".

THE END



What the ....????



Aha..the story continues.

One day, at a cafe, he realized one thing,


"Why do I care so much about the OBSTACLES and being so stressed? I need to find Mr. STRESS"

That evening, he found Mr. STRESS at the park, sitting on a bench with an umbrella in his hand.

"What are you doing here? And why do you hold that umbrella? It doesn't seem to rain"

"Well my boy, I'm just preparing myself for whatever's gonna happen. I'm a friend for whoever looks at me like a friend, and I'm also an enemy for whoever looks at me like an enemy. I'm sitting here as this is my place. My umbrella is just for my preparation for sitting here all day, waiting for you. What do you see from me, my boy?

"The meaning of LIFE, the hardness of OBSTACLES, and the difficulties of achieving my DREAMS"

Nodded a little and said, "You know, it's not me that "kills" you, but it is your reaction to me. Well, I know a friend who may be along with you replacing me along the journey. Find him. His name is HOPE. He always does this:


The fact about him is that as long as you have him, you could make your DREAMS come true. (sigh) I'd just continue being here, unless, you wanna be STRONGER for having me too with you."

With a great smile, he spoke "Since I can't always avoid you, Mr STRESS, will you run with me and find Mr HOPE? 

A.H.A



And, "Hye, boy! My name is H.O.P.E!"
