Life lessons in the morning

On the way to work this morning, together with Gong Gong, Ah Mah and you in the car, your Ah Mah told me about the TV programme she saw in the morning. It was about this guy who said that one should never complain about having no time. If one has no time, then one might as well just no live. The example given was one should not only just work, one should find time to pursue one's interest. The assumption is that passions and work do not come hand in hand for most people. Lesson No.1: Find time to pursue your interests

Your Ah Mah went tell the story of how this same person likes take redeye flights and was happily enjoying his nightcaps when the plane started shaking violently because of bad air turbulence. He continued drinking casually, unperturbed. The passenger beside him on the other hand, was a picture of panic. He held on to his seat, gripping them till his knuckles turned white. On landing, the passenger turned to him and said, "Have you died before?" This guy replied, "No. But I have lived before." Lesson No.2: Live each day to the fullest!
