Ok, prelims is not the end of my life. Since no one is encouraging me, I shall encourage myself.
Prelims is not the end. There is still the actual O levels to come. There are 34 days left. I still strive. I still study hard. If Morrie can keep his spirits up, so can I. :D
(if you don't know what i'm talking about, go and read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.)
Have you ever had a teacher with whom you were really close to? Who was your mentor, your friend, your strength? Morrie was such a teacher. I think I've met mine too, though I don't see her much now.
Everybody needs someone to probe him in the right direction every now and then. We all need teachers in our lives.
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Henry Adams
Life is a series of pulls back and forth.A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewere in the middle.
Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently.
Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."Love each other or perish." Auden"Fate succumbs
many a species: one alone
jeopardises itself." --W.H. Auden
Devote yourself to loving other. Devote yourself to your community around you. Devote yourself to creating something that gives you prurpose an meaning.
Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.People are only mean when they are threatened.Be compassionate, and take responsibility for each other. If we only learnted those lessons, this world would be so much better a place.
Forgive yourself before you die, then forgive others.
A wave is not a wave, it is part of the ocean.
