Precious Time
Just watched the first episode of "One liter of tears" courtesy from one of my freshman. Excellent show, reminds me of the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" that gives us many inspirational thoughts of why we should live life to the fullest.
There are many things that we take for granted such as your health, the material things that you have, the people around you, ..... , your time remaining on this surface. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but on the contrary to give thanks for the many things that I already have or once had in my short span of life. But on any given day if I ever depart, will I regret the things that I should have done or not have done? I guess I would. I guess anyone would. There are many things we think we need to do or achieve, when in fact that on this mindless chase we lose sight on things that matter the most, like your family, friends, and people who genuinely care for you, or your health. The fact that I will regret because I am in midst of the mindless chase as well. I know that if ever something fail on me, I will immediately regret not spending time on my failure.
Will I ever get out of this race? I might never know. But I know that I am here to give thanks for the many good things in my life. Even if my life doesnt match the luxurious lives of others, I do not care. I always know my limits and if I have it, thats good; if not, so be it.
命里有实终须有,命里无实末强求。
Take a moment and give thanks to the many things that you have. Life isn't as bleak as you think it exist to be. Over the summer I did learn alot, especially about my friends and people who really matter to me. Thanks. Even though I am in States for an unknown period of time, I will return eventually to repay my gratitude to you all.
I thank the Lord for His continual gifts to me. Each day. Every moment.
On a side line, I do wish to learn not to procrastinate on things. Hahaha super ironic! And random! But that's me, hahaha hope to change fer the better!
