I'm on training today, again...
This is actually a make up class for the previous one that I missed.
Powerpoint is so the same with excel.
It's like whatever I've learned in excel, I'm learning in powerpoint now.
I read through my previous blog posts.
Some dated a few years back.
It's really amazing how time flies.
(And how time can make or break someone.)
Whenever I thought of how time flies,
another thought will come into mind automatically - death
Another minute you live is another minute nearer to death.
Death is inevitable.
No one can cheat death and live on forever.
I am not scared of dying, but rather the way I'll be dying.
How would I meet death?
Motor accident?
Killed by a mugger?
In my sleep?
How?
No one will know until that day comes.
And I hope that I'll die the natural way.
That's a kind of blessing, at least to me.
'We're all athletes preparing for the big game'
Use your time and prepare it well.
Cos when the time comes, you won't have a chance to back out.
This is a game you must play, you must take part in.
There's no running away from it!
I believe that when someone bully you, be in verbally or physically,
that person is actually washing away your karma for you.
And unknowingly, adding it to his own scoreboard.
The more karma you do in your life, the worse kind of death awaits you.
There's some truth in this sentence - 'there'll be a time for justice to be done'
Sit back & relax, and you can see what karma will do to those compassionless players.
I always tell my sons it's ok to be bullied, but never be a bully.
I will never teach my kids the 'an eye for an eye' theory.
I still remember when I was in my primary school,
there was this girl who won a lot of prizes in the national singing competition
that showcast on channel 8.
She's an Indian-chinese mix.
Her father is an indian and her mum is a chinese.
She was very arrogant then.
So I made a comment to my friend like
'Wow, she's arrogant! Is there a need to act this way? It's just some singing competition only, not as if she won the whole world.'
And you know what happened the next day?
Her dad and her mum came to school & find me.
Her dad gripped my arms tightly
and keep saying things like 'you dare to say her again, I'll kill you! I'll catch you and sell you away......'
Can you imagine the kind of fear that build up within me?!
My friends were there too, and I think at the age of 9, everyone will be scared hearing an Indian man saying such thing. (I am not trying to be racist. But if you know the way the older generation Chinese teach their kids, you'll know why I make this statement.)
I was on the verge of crying..
But that man still wouldn't let me go.
He was holding onto my arms and both him & his wife was scolding me.
Upon seeing this, one of my friend ran off and alerted a teacher nearby.
The teacher came over and that was when that man finally let me go.
I forgotten what did the teacher said to the man.
But I remember vividly that he was actually shaming him.
That man still comes to school, but never near me again.
Now, whenever I thought of this incident, I will laugh.
I laugh at the parents and I pity that daughter.
With this kind of parents, you can never learn good values.
Without good values, how far can you go in life???Labels: Memories
