Well-said

Attended a talk by a well-known speaker cum famous adventurer, Mr Khoo Swee Chiow during a recent Workplan Seminar. He shared with us his views on life which inspired me greatly and left me thinking. If you are interested, you can visit his website at http://www.daretodream.com.sg/ Here is an excerpt of what he had said :

"Why and how do you keep going in times of hardship?" I have two answers. Firstly, I only live once. So, I only get one chance. Secondly, when I grow old, I want to leave this life without too regrets. I would like to be able many to say to myself: "I have tried my best."

How true!! I have been going through a pretty rough patch for the past 2 months. Those close to me would have known what had happened. Life has not been easy for me. Coping with family, work and relationship problems all at the same time was indeed taxing. I have come to realise that there are some things that are really out of our control. What we can do is to either live with them and make the best out of everything or simply be "defeated" by them. I will definately want to choose the 1st option. I refuse to be defeated by anything or anyone.

Even if life gives me a chance to turn back time, I will still want to meet the same people who gives me heartache or encounter the same "shit". Why? you may ask. Because all these setbacks make my life complete. Just remember, life is not always smooth-sailing.

You know what people say about heartaches and all the unhappy stuff that had happened to you? Time will heal. I only live once and i always try my best. So even if I am to leave this world now, I will definately have no regrets. I just hope time can quickly heal whatever wounds that I am having now and make me a stronger and better person.


Qoute of the day : "Every setback is a learning experience"

Song of the day : "我不配"

我不配
作词:方文山 作曲:周杰伦
这街上太拥挤
太多人有秘密
玻璃上有雾气在被隐藏起过去你脸上的情绪
在还原那场雨
这巷弄太过弯曲走不回故事里这日子不再绿
又斑驳了几句
剩下搬空回忆的我在大房子里电影院的座椅
隔遥远的距离
感情没有对手戏你跟自己下棋
还来不及仔仔细细写下你的关于描述我如何爱你
你却微笑的离我而去
这感觉已经不对
我努力在挽回
一些些应该体贴的感觉我没给
你嘟嘴许的愿望很卑微在妥协
是我忽略 你不过要人陪
这感觉已经不对 我最后才了解
一页页不忍翻阅的情节你好累
你默背为我掉过几次泪多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪你的美我不配
