Trial and Error

I can’t help but to over-hear the phone conversation of my officemate and a user who reported a system problem. Before hanging-up, my officemate said to the user that life is a test it’s always a trial and error.


Is life really a test?


There were times when the decisions I made were not really the best. Sometimes the outcome is not what I am expecting to happen. But I never regret the wrong things I’ve done from the past…never. Instead I treat these mistakes a means to improve myself. These made me wiser, emotionally strong and even more faithful to God.


Is life a trial and error?


I married and had children in my early twenties. I admit that I was not prepared. Can I raise three children? Can I give them the things that should be meant for them? Can I be a good mother? Questions like these keep on lurking in my mind almost everyday. But that was then.


I may not be able to give them all the luxurious things in this world (and I will not even if I can. I don’t want my kids turned into little monsters!). But I can give them my whole self and sacrifice my own happiness. I love them whole heartedly. My day will not be complete without there sweet kisses and giggles. In short, my kids completed me.


So, is life really a test and a trial and error? Oh, well I better ask my officemate why he said that because to me life is just GREAT!
