151: Responsibility

Today afternoon my friend called me. He is one of my best friends and we have talked for about an hour over the phone.

We have talked about many things relating to work, love and future. I was happy that he shared his views with me and in fact we have not talked to each other over the phone for so long for a long time. May be all of us are busy at work and dating.

Thinking what is happening when we were in school, the only things we have to do is study, dating, work part-time and play. We have not much responsibility and we can just do whatever we want, very free. I think every one who are working now would have this feeling. The past was so good.

I am not saying the present is not good. But in terms of freedom and responsibility, the past is relatively better. But when one has grown up, one has to face and accept more and more responsibility, and more and more responsibility will be assumed on you by others. So the thing I have to improve is to relax. Responsibility should not be a pressure burden. It should be a drive to do better.
