I am a freelancer, my equation hardly ever gets equated. One day I am employed and rich, planning my vacation in Paris, the other day i am down trodden and lost. Today, is the latter kind of day
However, I am optimistic. Things will change and I, too, will get rich.
Hope that answers your question :-)
what do you do?

Re: Equation of Life
My life is going great, Allahmdullilah. I don't cry over minor things and neither do i get sad over people who no longer exist in my life.
I don't think about past and get sad over it becuase, let's face it, there is no point, is there? At the moment, i have no responsibility on my shoulders so i make the most of this time. Enjoying life like a free man, got nothing to worry about.:D
If anything i worry about, it's the life after marriage:D i wonder how my wife will be like and whether my wife all allow me to be the kind of person i am right now:(.
Optimism is a blessing and not all people have the ability to stay hopeful in rough times. We should develop a habit of thanking Allah for all his blessing. Its better to accept the will of God then to whine about it
Re: Equation of Life

Admiring without desiring is the key to minimize lows in your life.
Re: Equation of Life
PCG, nahi baba…I dont think it happens like that…I can say for sure that my pay is higher than some of the guys with my experience…Thats for sure:)
Alhamdulillaha, The managers and people i work with know that I am capable of any job handed to me, and will do it much better than some guys of the team 
This not given work because of being a girl, happened in the previous project…bt not now :D…am so grateful to Allah Ta’ala.
And you gals who are looking for jobs, insha-Allah…its a struggle, i did it too…Allah Ta’ala jab deta hai, chappar phar ke deta hai, its true in my case…so, you will too get what you deserve and more; not less..insha-Allah

I Have a reasonable Job + Ok Salary - I am away from family = average life
but alhamdulillah, it could have been worse :)
Re: Equation of Life
My life has so far been a pretty joyride, a few ups and downs included and I believe myself to be one of the fortunate few to have happiness outweighing life's negativities in huge number..
But if there's something that's bothering me so much so as to count myself amongst the poorest of the poors, miserable and worthless creatures on this planet then it's my disobediency towards my Creator's command to pray five times a day..And another being my jobless life. Not exaggerating, I have been a consecutive topper at college and have won prizes galore, used to be the one looked up by many and cared by the teachers, Principal-- everybody thought I would create a niche for myself in this world but alas, I'm the one lagging far behind my peers , not utilizing my "talent" because girls in our family do not work and this "ameer baap ki akloti beti" tag has burdened me enough to let my dreams and age fizzle away in the darkness of anonymity!
Sometimes I wish God didn't bless me with all those accolades, had made me like those average college going kids but nevertheless, I feel great joy when I turn back and dwell in those memories ! No regrets, no pain... Life's good, and so am I!

I like this BUT... at some point wouldn't you NEED to desire in order to aspire???
Re: Equation of Life
^ I admire a car, aspire to be driving it. Nothing wrong with that, would be great if I get it, but I won't really be in pain if I don't.
I desire the same car, make efforts to get it, good enough if I get it but would be in pain if I don't.
Next round: Better car, better house, better salary.... the pain goes on.
ive always been an optimistic person, because i have hope and faith in life and Allah whenever things arent going well. i find i can usually see the positive side to things/the silver lining. sometimes though i find it hard to see why other people are so negative, i.e family/friends.
kabhii Khushii + kabhii Gham = zindagii
lol!
