Past Perfect Tense

Humans act so strange. they only treasure things when they don;t have it. but when they have it, they don;t treasure it. it is usual that people work so hard to get what they want. they would go through many torturous process to earn what they have been yearning to get. and once after they earned it. they don;t treasure it. they would lose it the next moment.

think about it, let us set this situation. you have set a target to what you want to get or achieve. you think about getting it all the time. you devise methods to get through the process and earn what you want. but what happens after you have achieved your target? you would initially feel a strong sense of achivement. but you would then start to itch to get or achieve something better. then whatever you have previously earned becomes a thing in the past. i;m not saying that you should be contented with what you have and then do not strive for higher planes. but rather you should also treasure what you have already achieved. use the learning points and the defining moments to help you achieve your second goal or target. never ever forget what you have.

treasure what you have. imagine that it is suddenly taken away from you. would you feel the pain of the loss? or would you feel numb about it? if you felt numb about it, then probably you didn;t really want it in the first place. but if you feel the pain of the loss, then you;ll realised that it was something worth tresuring and you probably regret you lost it in the first place. think about it, humans are like that. when they have it, they don;t treasure it. but when it is lost, they start to regret here and there.

learn to tresure what you have before it is lost. because once it is lost, then you would start to regret. and regret only means you failed to do what you could have done more. but if you had treasured what you had and subsequently you lost it, then it know deep down somewhere, you did your best. do something which you always wanted to do. do you want to look back and say, "i wished i had", or, "i;m glad i did"?

what do you think?
