How true are you to your life?

That evening I was watching channel U, an interview on Christopher Lee. I was watching the programme at coffee shop while having dinner. The noisy environment, I cant really pick out everything that they are talking. But what David Gan said made an impression.

David Gan was brought into the interview because he is a close fred of the couple and when being asked by Quan Yi Feng on wat advise he gave to the couple. He said, "In life, the only real happiness period is very short, at most 20 to 30 yrs only. U must learn to treasure your happiness and live your life to the fullest."

At that moment, I suddenly felt wat he said abt that 20 to 30 years of happiness is really very short... Looking back in your life, things are happening at an alarming speed. Before you knew it or even realise it.... U are already reaching half way in your life journey! Looking back, what have you really achieve in your life. What have you bring to the people in your life.

A year back, when I was in an organisation who is full of politic, I used to think why these ppl so bo liao, nothing much to do. Dun know how to enjoy life... play stupid game and what do they really gain in return. At that point of life, I am concentration on "Quality of Life". How to enjoy life.

But recently it got me thinking again. Beside "Quality of Life", wat about the difference you made in your Life. As much as all of us wants to enjoy life, we all forget that we cant control our life and our fate. So given that limited time of life, do we waste our life away by having fun, playing politic at work, doing nothing at all, leaving everything to fate???

When is the last time u be true to your life, be true to wat you really want out of your journey here. Life is a journey, in this journey, u define wat you want to do. But u have no 100% control of the outcome. In this journey, u cannot plan the people who surround you. I always believe a saying "百年修來同船渡，千年修得共枕眠". In this vast land, the people u meet, the people who become your families, your friends. It take a lot of fate to be with the people around u today.

Beside treasuring the people around us, we should seriously think about wat life has installed for us. We cannot control this journey but we can try to achieve wat we want out of this journey.
