A locked door or a wrong door...

Most of the time, people keep pushing themselves into things which are not really meant for them. Then, they rationalize doing it for determination and perseverance. BUT sometimes, even the STRONGEST strong will and the HARDEST hardwork are of no use if destiny has not ordained us to get what we have desired the most. How should we know whether something is really designed for us? Well, it's through common sense. You know we keep talking about this COMMON SENSE thing but when it comes to making our own decision and choosing what is right, we often forget these two important words. Why? Because we keep believing and we are focused on believing that we would be able to get anything we want through deternination, perseverance, hardwork, etc., etc.. Why not we write down the pros and cons, the advantages and disadvantages, the possibilities and impossibilities, the yes and no to decide whether to continue or give up on something? This would definitely help us make the right choice and set forth an alternative as necessary.

Everyone must have heard or read of the quote that says "when a door closes, a window opens." That is somehow related to what I am trying to convey. However, I've just got a little to say on that quote because, that is not, in a way, how I see it.

When a door closes and you cannot open it, it's because you barged in to someone else's door - maybe it's your neighbor's and you didn't notice it due to either you are too sleepy or drunk (not literally; sarcasm intended). Which means, dude, you've got the wrong door! Try to find the right one! Then, here's this "a window opens"? Come on! Why would you choose a window? Would you like to get inside a house using a window? Well, if the window is big enough for you to fit in, fine. But what if it's a jalousie? Sure there is no way you can get in. Besides, we go in and out of the house using a door and not a window, unless you are a burglar of course.  

Ok! Those are too literal. The bottomline is when a door closes, try to open it again. If it won't work, it's definitely not the door for you. Don't force yourself in but try to find another one to open instead. Remember that with the right key, you'll be able to open a locked door, but definitely not when you have the wrong key. And please forget about the window idea. That's absurd and won't help.   :))
