As 2010 comes to a close, have you wondered what have you done and achieved? Life is like a railway track, isn't it? A long long journey. Sometimes not knowing what to expect, and what the future lies? But do we always really need to know our future? Sometimes not knowing where you are heading might also be a good thing. As the saying goes, it is the journey and not so much the destination that is important.
A few things i've learnt in 2010. Small & trivial lessons for some, but i guess I will bring these into my 2011.
1. Imperfection is a form of perfection.
We tend to be very fixated in our little expectations, rules and guidelines formed and exerted by society and ourselves. often times, we fail to see some other dimensions of our lives. we are so caught up by our daily routines, habits and material chase that we fail to appreciate the other facets of our lives. Think again, there is always beauty in imperfection.
( i fainted in the gents and went unconscious for 5 mins)
2. You fall. But do pick yourself up.
There are times we feel down and helpless. But do remember you are only your best and worst enemy. Do know that everyone is special and you have what it takes to be the person you want to be.
3. Life is short. Love with Passion.
There is no time to live life with regrets. Love the person you love and live every moment.
It's better to have loved and cried then to have cried and not loved.
4. Surprise yourself sometimes.
Do things which you normally would not do. Break the status quo and think out of the box. You'll never know what kind of surprises might await you.
5. Pick the right battle to fight.
i admit i have fought some wrong battles in 2010. Sometimes retreating is a beauty.
OK i know the picture has no relevance. I just saw this pic and thought it is quite nice. :p.
6. Right Believing leads to right living
Believe right and you will live right. Believe that you are able to change things. Believe that you are young ( even if you are not). That God will renew your youth like the eagles. It will happen.

7. Our loved ones hold our hands always
Though not literally, our family members and friends are always there for us, especially in times of adversities. Do cherish them, esp your parents while you can.
8. Be happy always.
A good friend told me what he wanted of me was for me to be happy. Sometimes it is that simple.
so smile always.
9. Learn to have fun like the young hearts.
It's the pure heart and innocence that will truly enjoy happiness. So be young again.
10. Dare to love and live your dreams.
Just like these Alishan 's young hearts, they dare to return to their hometown and relive their dreams and passion. So be bold in pursuing your love and dreams. You will then truly live.
Remember impossible is nothing. Wishing all a blessed merry Christmas and a happy NEW Year.
