Life Lesson

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become...

You never know who these people may be but, when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in some profound way... And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair but, upon reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart...

Everything happens for a reason... Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck... Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul...


Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere... Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless... The people you meet affect your life... The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from... In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones...

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to... If someone loves you, love them back, unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things...

Make every day count... Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again... Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen... Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high...

So, hold your head up because you have every right to... Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you...

aft reading all these noble philosophies of life,i can tel u tat only perfect mankind can practice wat u wrote,however human are imperfect, i wil resort to all kinds of methods to hurt that people bk if someone hurts me in advance.. am i evil ? no ! the reality world is cruel, nice people always kena bully wat

Gan said...

and i wil thanks her or him for letting me knw hw to fight bk whenever kena bully , haha

Eve Lyn said...

TWell, the true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is... The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself...

P/S Mr Gan... If there were such thing hor, plz share with me also k... Then your poor housemate won't suffer so much during clinical and lab sessions d,hahaha...

Gan said...

y do we hv to try so hard to be a perfect person since we knw there is no perfection..thus sometime we should jz act instinctively n emotionally regardless wat consequences wil be. for ur case ,wat u gotta do is pounding on table, expressing ur unsatisfactory n unpleasant plus sour face to ur coursemate, shouting at (if can)and telling them tat u r really really fed up wit them during clinical n lab session,im sure tis wil mk thg all different(if u dare to resort tis extreme method, i bet u not dare). haha

Eve Lyn said...

In the 1st place, perfection is just an illusion... People live by day by day trying to achieve perfection but what they really missed out is by truly becoming who they really are... I believe in just doing what makes you feel good because at the end of the day, you'll be the one responsible for every path you make... So, whether to storm off in temper or smile and ignore those petty coursemates of mine all depends on the choice I make... And I choose to smile and pretend nothing ever happened... Why?? Simply because there's a place and time for everything and God would see that for me, no worries... LOL...
