Rise from ur own mistakes.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. He was a very naughty boy and he never listen to anything his parents say. As a young kid, he would steal money from parents, causing hurt to people around him and causing pain to his family. He always lie to people around, hurt their feelings. His friends trusted him, but he end up betraying them or hurting them. His family is poor, they worked so hard for the money but it ends up being stoled by him.

As he grow up, no one actually teach him his mistakes. Deep inside his heart, he wasn't realy sure what he did is wrong. To his point of view, my friends trusted me and it's ok for me to tell some small lies here and there. Its ok i do something bad to them , as long as they don't know and they think i'm doing something good for them. Instead, people around him think he is a good guy with lots of friends.

One day, a good friend of his ask him to join him to go for badminton on Saturday. He thinks badminton is not bad, so he went with him. He finds himself enjoying there. Soon after that, they got very close together playing badminton and they would play on every Saturday and Sunday. They have talked about joining tournaments together and hopefully they will win something good. They practically became inseparable and best friends for each other.

One day , his friend needs to go for oversea to work for a month. So they say good bye to each other and promise will join tournament and play together again very soon. After the guy leave, another friend asked him to play tennis. He feels that he should give it a try on tennis, so he agreed and went on to try tennis. Immediately , he found that tennis is much more interesting than badminton. So for every weekend, he plays tennis with this new best friend and he found himself enjoying tennis way more than badminton. He played tennis every weekend until his friend came back from oversea.

After his friend came back, he asked him for badminton on weekend. He feels bad that he needs to abandon his old friend on badminton cause he likes tennis more than badminton. He told him he wasn't feeling well, and went to play tennis with his new friend. This went on for awhile, he would give excuses and play tennis instead. Every weekend, the badminton friend would hope he can play with him, but only to get disappointed every time. This guy would make an excuse and go play tennis instead.

This went on for awhile until the day of the badminton tournament is almost arriving. The badminton friend called up,

Him
" Hey pal, we seldom played badminton already. The tournament is coming up. Lets go join this tournament and win something good."

He
"That day ? Errmm, i think i have something on my office that day."

Him
" Oh common, its just 2 days . U can take a leave anytime "

He
" Well, I'll see what i can do"

Him
" Alright , wait for your good news pal"

The day of the tournament approaches, the badminton friend try to call but he refuses to answer as he prefer to play tennis now. He got unhappy with that.
Later on , everything leaks out that he has been playing tennis for a long time already.
The badminton friend approaches his and ask,

Him
"U have been playing tennis a long time, why didn't u let me know "

He
"......I'm sorry, i like badminton actually"

Him
"But u didn't came every time i called and we missed the tournament "

He
"I think i prefer tennis more. Sorry pal."

Him
"I wanted to be good at badminton. I thought u can be my badminton partner and i can play in a big tournament and win something good. If u told me earlier u don't like badminton anymore, then i would waste my time , getting disappointed every weekend , and miss my chance at this tournament. How could u wasted my time like this ?"

He
"I'm sorry pal. I'm not interested in it. Take care and enjoy badminton."

He wanted to be good to his badminton friend. He feels very sad about what he did to his old friend. He was hoping to make him feel better , but only to make him feel worst. Eventually, he abandon tennis as well cause every time he plays tennis , he would think of of his old friend.

His good tennis friend realise this issue, and came to talk to him.

Him
"Look i understand u feel bad now, I heard u abandoned badminton, do u want to talk about it ? "

He
".........."

Him
"U seem really down by this. He was your good friend after all. But please never forget. Everyone makes mistakes. I know its shameful to make mistake like this at your age. Everyone has mistakes which a young child would do. What has happened has happened. U can't reverse the thing u have done. Making your self feel bad, stop playing tennis, won't make anything better. It will only make yourself feel worst. What u can do now, is never make that mistake ever again. Let this be a good lesson for yourself. Instead of making mistake, why not try do some good things ? "

He
" Yeah. It happened a few times. I don't wanna repeat my mistake again. But how do i do good things ?"

Him
"Well, there are many ways. But the best one i can think of, is cherish things around you and do what u like to do now. Learn from your mistake , and move on for a better life. We always learn something as long as we live."

He
" Yeah , I need to do that. "

Him
"Ok , that's good for you. I understand u feel bad now on tennis cause what had happened. U have to lie to play tennis and it feels bad as well. Don't worry, from now on, u can play tennis without any worry. So, do u still like tennis ? "

He
" Yeah"

Him
" So......... wanna play ? Its Sunday after all . "
