Today is 19 of september. Another five more days, it will be one month since my last post. Time really flies. No more going back to camp until 17 of Oct, Kian Chong's Birthday and the day i recieve my pink IC. A few days ago, i went to Bishan junction and i bought a book. Same author and just as life learning. Mitch Albom is the author. Try reading some of his book and you all will know how good his books are le.
In life, we always wanted to stay as happy as possible... we might be happy from our own perspective, but on the other side, it might be a complete different ending.
For example, we are playing soccer and our ball flies and roll down onto the road. we will definitely run towards the road and tried to get the ball! A car coming at a very high speed suddenly saw you running out and thus have to step on the brake as quickly as possible... Of course, if we are not knock down by the car, its already very good le. we say sorry and we pick up the ball and continue playing... we Enjoyed ourself and proceed to eating dou hua! perfect and nice~! but on the other side of the world, this driver has a weak heart.. he drove and suddenly saw a boy runnning towards the ball and he was shock. he slams on the brake and yanks the wheels. The car skids and the wheel screech. the boys disappear from the rear mirror and the driver is affected, thinking how close he came to tragedy. this incident forces his heart to pump furiously and this pumping leaves him drained. he feels dizzy and his head drop momentarily. As he went home, he almost met with another accident. the second driver honk and he veers again and spinning the wheels and stepping on the brake pedal.his vehicle rolls until it hits the rear of a stationary truck. there is a small crashing noise. The impact smacked the man to the steerling wheel. his fore head bleeds. he steps out from the car to see the damage. his heart hurts and he collapse onto the pavement. he is found dead as his blood no longer flows to his heart and listed the cause of death as heart attack.
taking one story, we can viewed the situation from two different angles.its the same day same moment, but one angle ends happy eating dou hua and the other ends badly lying on the pavement. by this short story, we can learn couple of thing. firstly, learn to view things from different views. we might be happy thinking that things are okie since we are glad, but someone at the other end might be hurt. so always be more tactful and we learned. Fairness! do you think its fair? in life, i would say nothing is fair. it was stupidity that soccer ball are kick out onto the road like that. why should the driver die on account of the little boy? but in the book, its stated fairness does not govern life and death. if it did, no good person would ever die young le! i find it very true.
This books is actually a chritian book if i am not wrong. i dun mind reading as it sometime do helps to make us think and acts as a backbone to our life.. some time we already know something, but due to busy and tough standard of living in singapore, we tend to forget some life skills. i just reached 1/3 of the book. interested of reading " the five people you meet in heaven", do look for me.
