The Meaning of Life

According to World Health Organization’s report, each day around the world, almost 3,000 people commit suicide. What makes them to kill themselves? What are the meanings of their life? Did their life mean nothing? No one could answer except themselves. Life can’t be that easy and smooth. When I ask what the meaning of my life is, my answer is my life is the road to glory.

When I was in primary school, I never thought about my future. All I knew was to try my best to win. Then I won and entered the best middle school of my province. After 5 years in the school, I survived and won the chance to come to National University of Singapore.

When I look back the life I’ve been though during the past 20 years, I tried very hard and did won. My life is not the final goal like how much money I will get; it is a process, a road makes me better and better.

I will keep trying and working to the glory. No matter what it will be like, all I know is that it will be better than the past!

I can smell confident flow out from your post.That way of thinking will lead you to success for sure.But bear in mind that everything do have its flip side.I think the reason why people choose to end their life is because they can't accept their failure...

People loves success and hates failing... But we should not take failure so badly because Failure is the mother of all success (Chinese Proverb)

I happen has a friend who suicided few years ago,until now i still don't understand why he do so? Everyone have their bottom line,whether or not they can stand up again, is really hard to say.
You are the lucky one. So,hope you can always have a positive thinking. Whoever can stand up again from their bottom line is the real hero.
Wish you have a bright future.

The flame and glory are wonderful things. However, some people suicide, because they feel they are far away from these things. The society is competitive. There are always winners and losers. That's the fact. So I understand these people. Sometimes suicide is a way to release pressure.
