THIS LIFEIn case many of you have not realised, we have but one life to live. This one life can end when
1. you kill yourself,
'foohlishly'2. kill by somebody
3. die from diseases, old age
My guess is, in case you get to choose how you die, it would be option C for the majorities of eathlings living on this planet. Hence, I believe that we all have an idea how we are going to live our lives.
and just a few days ago, someone dear to us, parted...
In memory of
late Rajaratnam
Many, young and old, were visibly moved and teary-eyed during the memorial service as they remembered the late Mr Rajaratnam, in a fitting tribute and farewell to one of Singapore's founding fathers.
"He was an idealist and a visionary. He believed profoundly in a multi-racial, multi-religious society. The National Pledge which he drafted has helped to shape the nation's psyche and entrench a core value for Singapore.
"In this age of extremist terrorism and tensions between Islam and the West, multi-racialism and harmony is more vital than ever to our very survival, both as a nation and a civilised society."
"Our younger generation is at the point of forgetting what our pioneers have done, so it is important we record this for posterity."
"With his passing, Singaporeans have lost a patriot, a man of deep conviction and principle. His contribution was not in bricks and mortar, or concrete and glass, but in ideas, sentiments and spirit. Everyday when the pledge is recited in our schools, our children are reminded to live up to our aspirations as Raja expressed them."
I am already 19. It's not too old
(still old LAH!), but ive been around for almost close to two decades. Certainly not a kid anymore. I guess this is the stage whereby you anticipate what kind of life are you going to lead for the rest of your life.
That's when it get
realllyyy frightening.
Hey, i may be a little, okay ALOT paranoid, but i am really worried about my future. Although, i still gets allowance from Momm and Dadd despite having holding 2 odd jobs concurrent with studies. But it's no more lazing around! And what if I cant get to where i plan, do what i want, be what i wana be?
Questions. Questions. Questions.
Hopefully, I shall provide me with the correct answer and along with a
PERFECT key to life.
I'll hold you to that!
ps,someone mention. A man's lifespan is only 75years of age.
and my
GREAT-GRANNY is
101 this year and counting...
God bless.
Amen.
