life lesson i must look for

Once saying in Indonesia "karena nila setitik, rusaklah susu belanga" or "panas setahun dihapus hujan sehari"...
It roughly means that all the good things you've done in your life becoming useless once you did a bad thing.
Why? it is due to human nature on how easy people remember and see others badness.
It could happened in any kind of life aspect. It could be your job, career, business, loveship (shit, -red), friendship (shit, -red), or social life.
The only exceptional i could think of is family. However your love has broken you, or your friend has let you down, or job has stressed you, or life has failed you, the family will never fail you. It's the only place where you can feel comfort, and where you can distressed.
But for people who stand alone like me, it's hard. Family are far way from distance. So how? Luckily i have few person i can rely on...

*updated*
I just read my friend's email about Zen of Kungfu Panda:
Oogway utters thoughtfully that "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." Perhaps it was inspired by the heart of the Bhaddekaratta Sutta (translated by Thich Nhat Hanh below), where the Buddha taught...

Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is. The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now,
the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?


This quote might be useful for me in order to seek what i'm looking for
