The rainbow will appear after the rain has gone..

Its been some time since i last blogged. Quite a few events had happened though.. well as usual, my style is I do not give you the entire details but the essence and the lessons I learnt from it.

I love rainbow since donkey years ago.. Rainbows always give me hope and happiness. Perhaps it has something to do with watching animations where rainbows are always depicted in a positive light..

At the end of the rainbow, there is a pot of gold.. Whenever I told my friends this, they will always laugh at me... Well, laugh as you wish, my pot of gold is not the literal pot of gold..


To me, the pot of gold simply signify something wonderful, something joyous..

Rainbows always appear the rain is gone.. Its like after the sadness is gone, the light of hope will appear encouraging us to perserve in whatever we do..

For a long time, my buddy has been unhappy and depressed.. When he finally began to pick up his life and viewed things in an optimistic manner, I was more than happy for him.. All along, I had felt helpless because of the lack of ability to help him. The only thing I can do was to stand by him and believe in him that one day, things will be better for him.. There were times when I felt like shaking him to wake him up.. But at the same time, I knew he will see the light by himself one day...

The wait has been long but I'm glad that I did not give up on him.. He has never given up on me, likewise I will do the same for him.. This is my pot of gold..

Another friend that I had some affinity with was also going through a depressed period.. During this period, he almost cut off contact with me and others.. It was an uneasy period for me because I do not know if the friendship I established with him will last through this period..

I waited and waited.. sometimes I made the initative to talk to him, there were responses but rather dead responses.. Eventually, I decided to just give him time to sort things out.. I believe in him.. I believe that our friendship will be able to last through because of what he wrote and what he said as assurance..

One fine day... he took the initative to talk to me.. things finally started to resume to normal.. Its really a great feeling.. I'm thankful that I did not abandon him then..

From these two great guys, I learnt something. Sometimes standing by and just believing in them is what is needed.. The helplessness that I feel was probably far lesser that what was being felt by them.. They have been my teachers for they have taught me something precious..

They are my pot of gold... The rainbow will appear after the rain has gone...
