if you don't like something, change it.
if you can't change it, change your attitude.

i was planning to blog about this a few days back but just really didn't have the time. HAHA! and seeing that i won't be home today, i better blog about this before i leave house. hehs.
it's kind of sad really, but i was really touched by what i encountered.
i took a cab the other day and the driver was this really nice and polite dude, and amazingly, he was really young as well. somewhere round his mid-twenties?
when i asked about his choice of profession his said,
"cause my mother has cancer,
so i need a job that allows me to go to her any time any where."
as we continued our conversation, he very gingerly says that,
"you know it's the end, the disease itself marks an end.
we just know that the end is in a matter of a time,
but we don't know when."
everyday we live our lives as per normal, we make friends we talk we become closer.
everyday we go home to the same loved ones and indulge in the joy of family.
but everyday we don't tell them how important they are to us.
everyday we make choices, some of us regret while others choose not to look back even though the regret is so strong that it takes away our soul. but really, do we want to die with regrets?
any time, any where.
i can leave the house and the next minute i collapse, maybe because of a car accident or maybe because of a cardiac arrest. the thing is, we are all going to die someday. it's just a matter of when and the matter of how, does it really matter?
if we know we were going to die, in a way it allows us to cherish the people around us whilst we can. if we don't know that we were going to die, will we still cherish the people around us?
the incidents in life often takes us by surprise, but life itself is already a surprise.
