Our time is limited

Our time is limited

This story was Whatsapped to me about four months ago from a friend and it is only now that I am sharing with you. What took me so long? I have thought of saving it up for another days and have since stored in the ‘Draft’ folder until I revisit it today. A few days back, similar thought of shelving something came to me but I brushed away the thought instead. Our time is limited and if it so happen to end that day, at least I didn’t miss the chance to share something which might benefit others. Live life to the fullest with no regrets!

It was originally in Mandarin. I translated it into English, with a little help from Google translate, so that I can share with you the essence of it. The story has benefited me and I hope that you too, will benefit from it. Read more

I Wish I Had (Top five regrets of the dying)

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Job

Mary Schmich Wear Sunscreen Speech

A dear friend posted this in her Facebook yesterday sharing this great column written by Mary Schmich in Chicago Tribune 1997. Mary posted a challenge to anyone over 26 to entertain themselves by composing a Guide to Life for Graduates. Who knows, some day we just might be invited to share some words of wisdom with an audience of caps and gowns? What words of wisdom would you have shared with an audience of graduates? Read more

The Green Thing - An old lady on environment

An old lady on environment

Read one of those viral, pass-it-along stories today and I’m sharing this hilarious reflection. Just when the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks were just because they didn’t have the green thing back then, they were given tight slaps. Ouch! That must have hurt a lot. Gone were the days of recycling bottles, cloth diapers, etc? Read more
