second attempt

ben

Tom was saddened when he saw that the orange tart he baked failed. He got excited for a week just to bake that tart but it all went into nothing. He couldn't figure out why he didn't make it. He thought it might have been the egg. Or maybe, the pulp of the orange. Or maybe, the oven. But that was not the end of it. He tried to bake once again an orange tart with lower heat in a longer time. He also modified the ingredients. And then...Abdacadabra! The second attempt to bake an orange tart was very successful!With a light grin on his face, he could bake more orange tart. He said to himself, "There will always be first time!"

two fish

Two fish are having a discussion inside the aquarium. One suddenly blurts out, "I don't want to be here anymore. I want to be out of here." Then, another fish answers the first, "Why, do you have wings to fly? Do you have legs to walk? We only have gills."

i was wrong

ben

His mother told him to take up an engineering major in university.

At first, it was just all right. He could cope with the subjects in the lower year of engineering. But as days went by, he could no longer have the appetite to continue. That was not the thing he liked. But because his mother wanted it so he decided to take it without grumbling knowing in his mind also that he could do it.

After two years of studying in the field of engineering, he decided to follow what he liked. Journalism. He excelled much making him an editor-in-chief of his school organ. He also graduated with flying colors.

Now, he is one of the best writers in the world. He gazes upon the past and tells to himself, "My mom did not do anything wrong, I did. But now, everything is all right!"

second thought

ben

At first, he had a second thought of going. But because he really wanted to pursue heading to the place he wanted to reach, he still proceeded.

While he was on a bus, suddenly, a stunk smell of the screeching tires began to suffucate him and everyone inside it. He panicked. Everyone did. All of a sudden, he felt like the bus was going on  a zig zag way as if it was a snake quickly swerving down to the an edge. He prayed for the Lord's will and protection, but, the bus fell into a cliff.

The next day, a report stated that everyone in the bus passed away. Terrible, it was.

"Lord, guide me as I travel in my life today."
