Taking Initiative

It has been ages since i talk with my friends in the msn messenger. I don't like chatting using the messenger. This is because sometimes messages will be misunderstood by friends when they cant see my face expression or the accent I am using. Another reason is that friends i used to chat with are left there for ages, close relationships with them has also already become loosen. So that it has been long time I did not turn on my messenger.

But today I don't know what happened to me, I just feel like wishing one of my old friend, hope to send my friend a good luck wish for her exams which coming soon. This is a friend i used to chat daily with, but due to some reasons we stopped chatting for few years. I just simply typed a message to this friend, wishing that my friend could get good results in the coming exams. What I cant expect was my friend actually replied. I asked if my friend whether remember me or not and i told my friend that i did not text her just because i thought she forget about me.

In our life, there are many things we need to take initiative, we have to take the first step in order to know the results or to do something. If we did not want to communicate with others first, we won't know what actually the others are thinking about. So, in conclusion, we should always ask about things that we are not sure or we don't know.
