responsibility

in life, there are many things that we can do. in fact, nothing is impossible. even defying gravity. look, i;m sure you;ve seen those magic shows about guys defying gravity. true or false? well, people do belive it, some people don;t but whatever the guy is doing, he sure is making seeing believing. also man has made it to the moon. if it was never a myth.

so, all in all, nobody can stop you from doing what you can and want to do. you can do whatever you want to do. as long as you put your heart and soul into it, things you want to do, can be done.

Hence, the moral is, you can do whatever you want to do. Just be responsible for it.

temasek

the typical singaporean doesn;t really go out late at night, just to have some fun at some clubs. listening to loud blasting music. drinking berverages that in the end makes them puke everything out. go round looking at people of the opposite gender. showing off what they have and what they wear. neither does the typical singaporean spends all the hard earn money on materials that they don;t really need.

there is always a distinction between wants and needs. but apparantly, to all the atypical singaporean, all wants are taken as needs, and all needs are taken for granted. some atypical singaporean claims that not going out, not hanging out with friends, doesn;t have this, doesn;t have that, means no life. some even despair being lonely and bored for a few days. imagine the elderly individuals in Homes for the aged. they have been lonely for years and i bet you, they sure are bored.

another point to note is that atypical singaporeans will cry foul the moment anything doesn;t get into his or her ways. come on, a little setback has never killed anyone. the worse is these group of people wil fume and fume over the injustice inflicted in them, but never spent any effort in trying to change the situation. they seem to be waiting for something to happen. something which until today i can;t seem to ans that question.

i mean, its a little setback, and surely you can start all over again. maybe unless, you lose your 5 senses. sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. that might be a valid justification to start wailing and complaining. but the weird thing is, there are people who don;t have either of the 5 senses but yet are even more optimisitic than those abled bodied individuals and will spend whatever necessay efforts to change their fates.

guess its time to start reflecting about the past. but don;t let it bring you down. let it inspire you, so that 5 years down the road when you look back, you can say that you did changed your own life. and you have all the right in the world to compare yourself currently and yourself 5 years ago. try not to compare yourself and another person, because the comparisons will never ever come to a sensible conclusion.

maybe out of this reflection, you may learnt some values that best education cannot.

repeated

character is built upon both success and failure. no one wants to fall down during this learning curve. success is something that is hammered into each and every one of us, day in and day out.. it doesn;t just appear over night. there is no such thing as failure if you learn from it, make the adequate changes, and move on. many bumps will make life interesting, but soon they will be in the rear view mirror.. if you choose to look back. don;t let them phase you, i was supposed to be useless 2 years ago. thats why life is nothing but a game now. whatever doesn;t kill you only makes you stronger. i want to live my life to the fullest extent right now, without a worry in the world. that means making mistakes, and feeling displeasure at times. do everything you want- full out with conviction, and make life everything you want to believe in. sure, the future is extremely important-BUT.. living for the moment is much more fulfilling. ask yourself if you knew you weren;t going to see tomorrow, would you be prepared for it? would you be thinking of the last test you wrote, the mark on your last assignment? would you be thinking about your future then? you;d be thinking about who and what meant the most to you. you;d be thinking about the life you lived.. the friends you;ll never forget.. and how sweet life has been. so just live it up, you only get one chance to do it right. thats what moral fiber means to me.
