I am a Form Six student. I was depressed over the past few weeks so I thought about the true meaning of life. We have a packed schedule, which includes homework, tutorial classes, and piano and swimming lessons. We seldom have time to take a deep breath and think about what we are really looking for in our lives.
I felt that studying was meaningless and exhausting because, despite all my efforts, I just could not make any progress. But things changed after I talked to a person who I respect a lot. She asked me what's really important in my life.
I thought about it and realised that we ignore others' feelings because of our never-ending desire for money and success.
After that, I was inspired. Many of us cannot handle the daily stress and have no clear goal in life. It's time for all of us to stop for a second and find the source of happiness.
