I experience some ups and downs in my life like a see saw. But still manage to accept them as part of life. Though, I likely like to become successful in every pursuit I do but sometimes meet with failures.I feel sad when a loved one pass, when i do not pass an exam or job interview. it may seem a little problems or heavy problems but still affect my lives. I salute people who know to count their blessing and gives more quality time to help other people rather than criticize them. What kind of ups and downs in your life you already experience. kindly share. thanks

Life is full of ups and downs. It is normal and anybody who is born as human beings must undergo ups and downs in life. Well in my life too.. i have gone through lots of ups and downs. I was sent to very far away place to study when i was just 14 years old.. there i was in the hostel with other students away from parents and the problem i use to face was financial problems and many more.. And there are many more sad moments.. The saddest is the day when i lost my dad... Well there are happy moments too.. Topping the classes and schools when i was in middle and higher secondary schools use to bring me immense joy making me think that the hard work that i have put is being rewarded.

When something wrong happens remember the following lines. we must part after meeting. The accumulated wealth will exhaust one day. We must die after we are born. What ever happens to us are all due to our own fate. We must try our best in our life. Hope should not die.

yes and that is become normal but sometimes i get easily upset when i get fail in what i like to do then divert to other things and the same rejection happen. i really need to learn to accept failures but the truth just like any other people i like more to taste success. but seen some think to become successful need some bitterness to experience before one could fully enjoy her fruit of labor.

yes I believe so and every people have difference experience. some really felt that life become so difficult and many try to escape their problem while other face the truth. they were so brave to get over with or face there problem by seeking a solution rather than evade.

Same here. I try to help others only if they try to help themselves too. I have had many ups and downs in my life and still do. I always try to fix them on my own if possible.

but for me before i try to help other people i need to make sure that i help myself first. since some people could be self center and selfish they only care about themselves. in my case i would try to help as long as i could extend but not many times. i observe when you become so generous some people exist to abuse your generosity which i tend to avoid.

The very recent downs I experience was when I was brought to the hospital and have to stay there for a certain illness. Until now I am suffering from it but I am home now. I only get out if I needs to be check by my doctor. I lost my earnings online and now I do not know how can i survive to buy myself medicine. I only depend on my sister. I do not know if I will be experiencing "up". When will it happen, I do not know but I am still thinking positive about it.

i am happy that you are already recover from your illnesses. i wish you always in good health and far from any danger including your family. anyway that is a good experience and the next time it is good to take good care of self and save money when you have excess in case of emergency. you have some money to withdraw. it is also a good thing your sister is so kind to help you. may all things goes well.take care.

When it comes to ups and down of life well really the same as you it was like a seesaw. But the difference is how to accept and try to escape on the situations but it is impossible to happen. Since the life has begun struggles comes and we cannot complete the life if there is no ups and down. I call the problems as down and success as my ups. Most of the time if i am in the pain or down of life i feel in terrible sadness. Thinking of how can i recover in that face of life. Trying myself to be happy and keep busy of work. It helps me to forget a little pain. And the best is to pray to God and ask for assistance and guidance. If i am in my ups of life well everybody is happy and feel relax. But sometimes i think of coming the problems again. I can call it as "this is life."

i feel the same things but these days i develop more immunity. mean these problems that we experience through everyday struggle are here to saty. we could not avod them as they are here to teach us a lesson whether t drives us to necome a better person or feel miserable, the point is were able to identify our weakness that makes us feel stronger to face any kinds of difficulties.

If you're literally asking for all of the ups and downs I've experienced, I won't be able to mention all of it. Everyone has their ups and downs, it differs from person to person. However, I think both are essential to our lives. The ups, well, we love the feeling when we're high, right? The downs are also essential because how are we gonna go up when we're not down?

yes, it is so hard to enumerate here and mine also so many to list. so i am just curious if other could make a mention of their ups and downs and could share some of those. though, i would not pressure them to share just few inputs..lol..your right the ups and downs are already part of our lives and they should be accept as a fact. they are there to makes us strong and then we could identify our weaknesses to make a changes.

Yep it would, but identifying alone is different from making an action.

i disbelieved God for 2 years, thus being an atheist. had a child at the age of 16, disrespected my father for 3 years. i chose to be a Goth than to be a daughter i know he wished he had. we did not talk for 3 years just because he hated ma being a Goth. but if there's one thing i cherish in this messed up life of mine, that's the millions and millions of lessons God has taught me through the experiences he gave. :)

Good things your experiences give you more life lesson and it could make you even stronger. hopefully your relationship with your father would be better now after you realize your mistakes. i imagine the years your gone by and those are not just waste time even it have a sad memory. you learn from the lesson and now you could use it to motivate your child not to follow such path for her own good.

hello there, yeah, losing some loved ones or anything which important to our lives makes anyone sad. though only time could tell, but it heal too..only that some get really depress they could not find a way out. though, some suffer for a long time or bear the silence of sadness and continue with their lives. ups and downs are challenges and we smile when we win and frown during downs. but they are there to make us strong and a better person..

yeah i agree life sometimes could be cruel even testing the limit of your self. sometimes it becomes so much but some beliefs trial are part of lives. it makes people feel strong and learn from it whether it may be mistakes or a rewarding experience. both teach a lesson. problems are the one define a person weaknesses and strength through it we learn life lesson.

I don't really feel that is any downs in life because with those downs you learn a lesson. For example, there was this girl who i dated and next thing you know she cheats on me, but it taught me to be more cautious and selective on who to be with and now I am in a really happy relationship. Another ex of mines, I learned was some shady person who likes to talk behind my back. She is so fake, but good thing we broke it off before I end up wasting time with some girl whose personality is not what I think it is.

yes, ups and down are already part of life. i read some articles or quotes from famous people that they have committed many mistakes before becoming successful. nobody is perfect and many have the blunder and commit mistakes. many are given the change to rectify their mistakes. they see those problems not as a hindrance but a challenges to make a change so they could think of another way to surpass it.
