Life Lessons

do what you love to do,love what you do.
don't conform.don't go with the flow.don't let others live your life.

know your destination,and the journey.
what good is an aspiration without knowing how to get there.
then again,what good is running all around without knowing where you're heading?

the truth may be hard and cold,and chances are, the truth hurts.but until and unless you recognize it,life will be difficult.

37) Right?

We ought to know that there is no absolute truth in this world. Everyone is entitled to their own views, you are but what you believe.

36) Tact?

Would you rather people be direct with you so that you learn,

or would you rather they be tactful and let you live in your own world?

35) Orange

Did the color orange come from the fruit orange,
or did the fruit orange come from the color orange.

34) Experience

Sometimes, the greater experience is not in achieving your goal, but in not achieving it.

33) Absence

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Too much absence makes the heart find another.

32) Reminiscence

"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh.
But I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry."

30) Maturity

Maturity is what's in you, not what are you.

29) Heroism

Heroism is doing something courageous, regardless of the insanely small odds.

28) Religion, Convenient Religion

28a) Religion is not a belief, it is a lifestyle.

28b) Religion is something you subscribe to in full, not part thereof.

27) Mistakes

"The only way to avoid making mistakes is not to do anything. And that ... will be the ultimate mistake." -Dr Goh Keng Swee


Don't try, don't fall, don't stand up -> same


Try, fall, stand up -> better. 

26) Potential

I sincerely believe that there is a potential in every single soul. It is about self-discovery.

25) Troubles

It is extremely easy to overlook your troubles one by one, but when it all comes back at once, it is sometimes too much to handle.

24) Fear

Fear. It is the single critical factor to evolution.

23) Lies

Would you rather be lied to, or to find out that you have been lied to?

22) Odds

To overcome social conformity, or to chase what you really want,
You have to start beating the odds, regardless of the odds.

You have to go past what people would say, "What are the chances?"

You would have to battle what your logic tells you, "That's impossible."

And it all starts by "Just Do It".

And this is my personal challenge.

21) Friendship

I feel sad when I look at a friend and realize that we won't be as close as we are, a few years down the road.

Nonetheless, I still believe in 'living in the moment', regardless of what the future brings.
