HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Another welcome to another new year. Say goodbye to year 2008 and let's embrace 2009 with a positive thinking. Like the saying goes, "Fallen Flowers Can't Climb Back". So, let's try to forget all those sad, angry & frustrated moments we had and move on with our life. I guess that would be a whole lot better than to lament on our past too much which will lead to depression.
But, no matter what, memories are a part of us... In every human in fact that we should not try to erase all our memories. Especially those building and good memories that can make us smile when we reflect back. Imagine those who wants desperately to have their own memory and call them their memories but are unable to do so - Alzheimer patients. To them, "memories are the mind's way of gathering roses in the winter"---Sir Barrie.
Also, "Be The Best That You Can Be". A poem written by Douglas Malloch.
If you can't be s pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley - but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill.
Be a bush, if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass -
Be the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be the crew,
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do
And the task we must do is near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can;t be the sun, be a starm
It isnt' by size that you win or fail -
Be the best of whatever you are
Martin Luther King once said;
"If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets just as well as how Michelangelo painted, or how Beethoven composed music, or how Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that everyone will pause to say, 'here lived a great streer-sweeper who did his job well'".
Most of the time, we tend to undervalue the things we do. We always think that what the others doing are more important or better than what we're doing. We would think that what we're doing is nothing compared to what they are doing. This leads us to become demotivated with whatever we're doing and it is really not a good feeling. It's so negative that it could probably lead to us giving up in whatever we want to do in the future. Society attaches false values to many things in our lives. The most popular one being "lawyer is better than teacher". Maybe better in terms of salary??? But each of the function is equally important to each other.
-Credits to FAMP 1013 Public Speaking Team. Public speaking is enjoyable especially with these mind-opening quotes-
You have to tie the handkerchief to fit your head. Reality always sink in whenever we try to achieve our resolutions. But, try our best to achieve it and we can always accomplish at least half of what we've set up. This post is so philosophical... ZZzzzz... That's because I didn't go anywhere for New Year's Eve. Nothing to blog about and so, I've decided to torture my readers with this lengthy and philosophical post. XD!!! I miss my last year New Year with BP and the gang. Before this post ends... HAPPY NEW YEAR once again and may your New Year be a kick-start to a wonderful and fruitful year ahead.
My resolutions:
*Continue my studies and achieve good results. XD*
