If I don't do it now, I'll only regret it.

As a full-time health inspector and a part-time English trainer. Some lame excuses such as 'I am overloading with too many responsibilities.' or, 'I have to read some news to relax for a while', sometimes crowd my mind and I once deluded myself that I was an incurable procrastinator. My wife takes the household chores in her hand, also serves as my teaching assistant. With her help, I am used to juggling with different jobs. At present, I am also preparing an examination, hoping to get a certificate of an international advanced English teacher. I have to admit, habitually, that I am not a tough guy and have to put myself together once in a while.
My father is verging on 80 and my mum is 76 years old now. We live in the same city. A few years before their falling ill, they could do for themselves. But now they need constant attention. Thanks the lord that I have the good fortune to be companied by them and I think the care of them is being placed firmly within the domain of my family. My wife and I take this for granted. Oh, she is the everyday down to earth kind of person! Why did I use to make her angry when I was not myself?!
The certificate is my last chance, I am sure the difficulties will soon ravel out.
Tide it over. Just do it!

Just be positive. Even in the most difficult circumstances, there is always good that is just around the corner. Positive mental attitude helps a lot.
