Wisdom for the Road

Posted by Unknown On Sunday, August 22, 2010 8 comments
This afternoon, I had a smashing time with a girlfriend I had not seen since 2008. We talked nineteen to the dozen, laughed at each other's lame jokes :-), ate laksa and cendol, went shopping and truly had a beautiful bonding time. So sorry I have not had time to blog on sopo issues today. Am rushing now to attend the Public Forum on the Yong Vui Kong case. I just want to share this moving poem with you and hope that it can touch many hearts out there. Take care and I will update you about the forum when I get back. Do leave a comment to share your thoughts. Thanks! Enjoy your evening with your loved ones. Cheers!



WISDOM FOR THE ROAD

Cherish things while you still have them,
before they're gone,
and you realize how precious they really are.

Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.

Everything in life is temporary.
So if things are going good,
enjoy it because it won't last forever.

And if things are going bad,
don't worry because it won't last forever either.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.

A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.

Never cross a bridge
without knowing how to swim the tides.

If you could not add years to your life
Add life to your years.

    Starmandala Glad to hear there's a public forum on the Yong Vui Kong case. I'm hoping against hope that the young man's life will be spared and that he will be given the chance to inspire thousands of others with his unique experience of living for years on the edge of the abyss. Good, upbeat poem, thanks :-)

    Don't just swallow, TASTE .......
    Don't just sleep, DREAM .......
    Don't just think, FEEL .......
    Don't just exist, LIVE .......

    Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than things you acquire.

    Thank you for touching so many lives in your blog. Cheers!
