Why "Against-TheTides"? And what is the meaning:
Someone asked me this question, and I thought it'd be good to answer. "Why?" With a purpose that follows...
Just Imagine a river flowing in a particular direction, a strong current that passes thru' rapids and rocks. Now... Lets take a step further, imagine you are IN that river, swimming. You have 2 choices, to swim against the tide, reach the bank on the other end where it's safe. Or choose to let the tide take you in its direction, where you are uncertain of the end.

I suppose most of you can visualize where I m heading to. But do allow me to ellaborate, the difference between these two choices are, firstly, choosing to swim against the tides lets you take control of your own decisions, deciding your own path, which means leading to safety grounds after fighting hard against the tides. While the other decision makes you a 100% dependant on the tide's flow, you just go with it and your path is uncertain. Will the current take you down a fall? Will it lead you plunging down to your death? Or will it take you for a spin in a whirlpool? Who knows...
It's always easier to follow the tide, and it makes it harder each time we let go and drift further away from shore. Giving up is easy, but striving on is hard. It is just like life situations in EVERY way. We are all swimming in this "River of Consciousness". For most of us, we know the outcome very well, we know that the tide would lead us down a fall, but we refuse to fight against it. I've seen many people, in particular my school friends, distraughted over school test, exams and results. Mainly because of a habit called "Procrastination". They have a longing and a wish to break the habit, but they just can't, only because the fight is hard. They would than let the tide take them down. You may have drift a long way from the shore. But always remember if you do not start now. You will never have an end to it. In fact, it will not be long before you plunge down.
"Against-TheTides" It will always encourage me to fight on for good. Decide my own outcome and be happy about it. I hope that whoever reads my blog will be encouraged to do so too. Endeavour and never let go, because the distance you strive towards the shore, it only takes seconds for the tide to bring you back where you started!
Paddle hard! Life is Short! There isn't a Motor to Success!
