The journey of developing the photo

In the 80s,90s  where photos and television are black and white, cameras using film to capture the image. The question is, after taking the photo, do you think its ready capture and store in the film or only after seeing it being develop that you choose to believe?

This particular story aims to share the idea that in each and every one of us, there is a snap shot, a undeveloped photo in us. A image call success. It’s in every one of us. Some chose to believe in even before seeing the photo. Other wants to see the photo before taking the actions.

But life doesn’t work this way. From young, the image is ready capture in us, we walk through life to reach the photo shop to have our film developed. (Simply known as life journey.) While some believe in what the photo will show, they walk down the journey of life full of confidence, ideas and achievement. But along the way to the photo shop, there will be obstacles, there will be rain (setbacks), hot weather (tiredness) or even bus breaking down (slow us down) to even distractions like candy shops, café and pub where we take a rest.

Some of the above obstacles might slow us down a little, others might made up give up the notion of developing the photo. Thus there are people who blame others in the circumstance they are in. (I can’t help it, I’m too slow to catch up. I’m brought up this way, I can’t do any better) and they never did manage to get back to the right path, the goal of developing the photo of success.

However, the journey to the photo shop is not the end. During the photo developing process, a dark room is necessary. This period of darkness might be long that it get us down and distracted. Lost and unsure if that is the right thing to do.

Even after the photo is being develop, would it be what others would one to see? The image might turn out unclear. It’s through the dark room (period of darkness) that we get to see ourselves clearer. (soul searching) take responsibility of what had happen and readjust ourselves to the right path with the compass of success.

Everyone wants to be success in life, but to each its own, success can be of a different scale & measure. May each and every one of us look failure and obstacles in life as a necessary thing to develop a sharper clearer photo we want to see.
