Exams.... are finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!! But.. I'm not pleased with myself.. I have been too lazy and not taking academics seriously enough.. until.. its too late. Well, guess I'm resigned to poor grades for this 1st Semester in NTU. I feel guilty that I have not been a good testimony for God and to people around me. But.. every failure is a new beginning to do better! I now make a commitment to God to treat academics seriously again (* i promise*) :
1) Commit myself responsibly: NO more skipping lessons and not doing homework.
2) Finish homework before I go home.
3) Do revision and chapter summary consistently for each topic.
*if i can complete these 3 factor which seems easy yet not so easy i shld be fine after today*
Ha anw! I'm nt about to bore you guys with rantings.. hoho. XDD
Went on a mini- 伤心旅行 just now and came across an interesting book about a man who died suddenly leaving his wife in shock. In one of his love letters to his wife in their 25 years wrote, or at least tried to answer the question:
" If I had only ONE hour to live, Who would I call & what will I say to Him/ Her."
His wife obviously could not believe her loss of her husband so sudden BUT she found console in this letter that answered the question above.
This is reallie what I want to talk about for the day: cherishing what we have and not taking things for granted.
With all the huff & puff of such a busy life, we tend to lose the focus of our lives. We get so caught up in our routines: rushing to school/work, slogging lives out for results/money, fighting hard just to gain people's attention ( fame ), .... On and on... so & so
NOW if YOU are the one. I tell you now that you only have an hour to live. Will you still go spend that hour rushing [to school/work, slogging lives out for results/money, fighting hard just to gain people's attention ( fame ), .... On and on... so & so] or would you reallie take a step back and see WHO matters most in your life right now?
Would you call your university prof inquiring about studies? Does tt matter when you are gone in like... an hour!!?? Or call your boss? maybe you like to apply that day off for something more important than making $$. How much can you earn in your LAST hour?
Would you go around giving away all your money to poor people and do good deeds that you have never done before?
Would you call your best friends? Telling them how much they meant to you each time you were down, they shared the pain with you, and in times of joy laughed together?
Would you call your parents? They love you.. and would be devastated to know you will be gone.. in erhem.. an hour.
Would you call your girlfriend/boyfriend? Tell him/her how much you love and cherish each moments of life spent together? How sad will it be to part unwillingly?
Would you call someone who has offended you and tell them that you forgive them? If not you won't have the chance to do it anymore?
You see, we can now REALLY tell what's most important if we have given a serious thought about what to do... But if you have only ONE hour to live.. Its probably not a good idea to start thinking only when you have that hour left.
If you have something called "today". Would you spend a little time, thinking about who loves you, and who you Love?
Your parents do. Your friends treasure you. Your sweetheart holds you dear. And there is a God out there. If you believe, He loves you & me just as well. (:
