The clock

Have you ever seen a clock that doesn't have a battery? It just doesn't work, does it? You just look at the hands and they don't move, no matter how long you stare at them. They are still there but they don't serve a purpose they were made for! Such a clock is useless! Isn't it sad?!
That reminds me so much of the life! But not the life as it supposed to be, but the life without dreams. Dreams are our life's batteries. They are what makes us keep going no matter what and no matter how hard it seems to be! Like the second's hand of the clock we need to make some small steps to make our dreams come true. If the second's hand doesn't move, we would never see the minute's and the hour's hand moving. In life if we don't make these little steps we won't see big things happening. The motion of the minute's and the hour's hands is a result of the motion of the second's hand, at the moment it stops, they will stop too. If we stop doing the little things we know we have to do pursuing our dreams, than the hole mechanism of our life stops. If you have a dream you gotta fight for it. You are going to face a lot of obstacles, but if you give up, that means you pull out the batteries of your life. But if you don't give up, at the end of your life you can say: "I did it my way. I had my dreams, some of them I achieved, some of them I didn't, but at least I fought for them and I never gave up. I kept the batteries in my clock."
And one more thing - don't get too comfortable with what you achieved and where are you now, because even the clock without batteries is right twice a day, but it still doesn't mean it works!

One of "those" days

I don't think there is a person on this planet who has never had one of "those" days. The days when nothing seems to go right. No matter how hard you try, you just can't help it. It looks like every single person on The Earth is trying to make you angry or to do something you don't like.
First you have to get up early for work and hurry up with the shower and the breakfast, then you miss the bus, now you are going to be late and you have to explain to your boss how long you had to wait for the next bus. And it's like you don't already have enough troubles  but every colleague is in his/her joking-mood (don't they see you have one of "those" days - it is written on your face, and you are not in a mood for jokes!?) , every customer is asking the silliest questions of the world trying to get on your nerves and not understanding that you have one of "those" days and that it's not the right moment to ask you for help! At the end of the day your parents call, asking how your day was...they just don't get it - you have one of "those" days. And when you finally get home your room-mate is asking "Everything all right, bro?". No bro, it ain't all right, I have one of "those" days! Mannnn, that's annoying!!!
But hold on a second, let's backward your "one of "those" days" day! First you woke up, every day a lot of people just don't, then you had to get up, many people just don't have a bed to get up of, and taking shower and having breakfast is luxury for them! You just rushed so fast that you didn't even notice the two blind women just a couple of steps far from the bus station, singing and trying to earn some money so they could make it through the day. You were so wrapped in thoughts how should you explain to your boss that your are late, that you forgot to say "good morning" to your colleagues and after that you didn't notice they were trying to make you smile with their jokes, because they saw you have one of "those" days. You were so angry that you didn't realize that the customers just needed a kind answer of their questions and by the way - helping them is your job. You were so obsessed by your problems you even forgot to ask your parents, when they called, how your sick granny is and thanking them for their concern. And your room-mate just wanted to help you, not thinking about his problems, even though he has enough of them.
Ohhh and by the way at the end of one of "those" days you could at least tell God: "Thank You Lord, for blessing me with such of things as home, friends, job and family. Things a lot of people are dreaming of!"
