Life./ 11:27 PM
I took the following extract from my friend's blog. Something different that i came across.
Today we have bigger houses yet smaller families More convenice, but less time We have more degrees, but less common sense More knowledge, but less judgement We have more experts, but more problems More medicine, but less good health We spend too recklessly Laugh too littke Drive too fast Get angry too quickly Stay up too late Read too littke Watch Tv too much And are less considerate
We have multiplied our possessions, but have reduced our values We talk too much, love too little and lie too often We have learned how to make a living, but not a life We have added years to life, but not life to years We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider roads, but narrower viewpoints We spend more, but have less We buy more, yet enjoy it less We have been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the road to meet our neighbours We've conquered our outer space, but not our innerspace We've split the atom, but not our prejudice
We wirte more, learn less, plan more, but accomplish less We have learn to rush, but not to wait We have higher income, but lower morals We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
But have less personal communication We are long on quantity, but less in quality These are the times of fast food and slow digestion Tall men and short character More leisure but less fun More kinds of food but less nutrition Two incomes but more divorce Nicer houses but broken homes
That is why i propose, that as of today, you fo not keep anything for special occasions, because everyday you love is a speciall occassion. Search for knowledge, read more. Sit and admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family and friends. Eat your favourite food and visit the places you love. Life is moments of enjoyment and not just about surviving Drink from the finest crystal glass. Do not save your best perfume or after shave but use it everyday Remove phrases like 'one of these days', 'someday' and 'not now' from your vocabulary. Write that letter you though of writing 'one of these days'
Let's tell our familes and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.
Everyday, every hour, and every minute is special. As you do not know if they will be your last.
-End-
Talking bout life. Life is wonderful isn't it? Surrounded by people who love you just that they do not know how to show it in the right way. Often landing in bad situations. Humans are not mind readers. I do not know what is going on your mind every minute every second but i do know if you're sad or happy or angry. Simply because i can feel. Who doesn't like to be happy. Who doesn't like to be loved. Who likes to be always alone. Because i can feel. I'll try. That's the least i can do to change a mood of someone's. The accomplishment is seeing the smile on the person's face. Is enough. Satisfaction.
I want to be able to read people's mind. Then i will know what to do, what should i do. Won't that just be the best? Because there will always be people who won't tell you what's going on their mind. Cause sometimes it's just too hard to guess and too far away to feel. Sighs.
School is opening in 3 weeks time. Including this week. I've been working since the start of the holidays and taking leave now and then. I will end work next week. I've decided. Then spend time with the people who i want to spend time with. I'll make the extra effort. So i hope you'll go along with me. Thank you. Names are sensitive here i suppose. Let me use the 1 week of break before school starts to the fullest. I have a rough idea of what to do already. I kinda need my pay too. i'm kinda short of cash too. =/
Talking about human charactor. Every one has different charactors. Some may be similar but there will still be some difference. I talk as i want to. Often hurting people by not caring about their feelings. And without thinking. But that's the most honest opinion isn't it? Talking after thinking somehow changes the words that you would say. Cause you thought about it. And not felt about it. Maybe that's how i work. What i feel and that's what i'll say. Some might say it's good. Some might not say it's good. Oh wells.
The 5 weeks of work. Exposed me to more people. Not alot but enough. 9 or more. Some more contact than others. I've come across selfish, caring, helpful, naggy, quiet, bastard, like ah beng kinds of people. They way they communicate with you is so different. And sometimes you cant help but think to yourself that they're such bitches and bastards. Not forgetting talking behind people's back. i believe my hearing is not that bad. I hear alot of things from different sides. Office politics what you call them. Then you see people resigning, people that are coming for interviews. Many different people. Different views. Not that a bad experience though.
I'm currently thinking of you. When will you start to tell me what's going on your mind? I will take the first step. Because of that 1 word.
