How different was August 2010 from August 2009?

What is special about this period?Can i afford to forget it in my life,the answer is the reason for this post.
August 2009 came back from the US with tears and again in August 2010 came back to the homeland from the US after crying for days.
The tears on my eyes on both these phases of my life were not the same.August 2009, the reason for my tears was why should i come back to India.
The reason for tears on August 2010 was why should i stay in the US.
I know it sounds ridiculous.Well, this is the truth of the life.
In 2009, I liked the independent life of the US, i liked the dollars i earned, i liked the trips i made in the US with my friends,
most of all i liked the work place.In 2010, the independent life of the US made me feel lonely, the sum i earned made me feel,
is money everything in life, i had no friends to make trips, above all was not satisfied with the workplace.
To my surprise all my dreams about the US came true in 2009 whereas, in 2010 all these dreams were shattered to nothing.
This is the period when i realized life is not about just fantasy.There are hard truth in life which we need to confront without any excuses.
GOD threw me wonderful opportunity to understand the fact that life for an individual would not be consistent and predictable.
An individual should be ready to face the challenges of life with all courage in order to see a fruitful ending.The reality is something that comes to you without effort will not stay longer.
The later US trip proved me wrong about all my thoughts of US lifestyle, it made me understand the fact that it is always not fun to be alone.
I am totally convinced now to be back in India unlike August 2009.I do not have any hard feelings now in my heart that i was forced to come back in 2009 by my family.
During both of these period of my stay in the US had completely different experience and had good learning in both personal and official front.
I had a memorable fun filled experience during my farmer trip but more than that the bitter experience that i had during my later trip has thought me few good lessons of life.
Hence, from my heart I thank the LORD for having given me bitter experience during my later trip of the US.
Also i thank my company for giving me an opportunity to understand this truth of the life.
Now my mind is totally clear without any strong thoughts about enjoying US lifestyle.
And top of all the good news to my dear and near ones is i am not going to crib about the US trip anymore.. :)
