Once a person told me long ago... while i was still a kid... he said: " You know why i never do corrections in classes? Because i know that there is a lot of things in life, once you've missed that shot, it would never come back... There are no second chance..."
Its true enough of what he has said... there are things in life which would never have a second chance... Life for instance... We only get one shot for making our life meaningful or die dull. Life often presents us with choices we have to make. And some choices are giving others another chance. When giving others a chance, it is giving yourself a chance to let them once again into your life. We only get to live once, does people really have to wait till the very last moment of their life to then realize that there were chances that he should have given to another, but never had given?
Of course many had asked, is one life enough of us? Some replied, never enough... there are so many to do, yet so little time. Some replied, its more than enough if you use it wisely. Well the truth is, time are something that would never stop, just like numbers... you could start counting from 1 now to infinity, how long would it take? is one life time enough to count from 1 to infinity?
I have come to realize that in one life time, it is never enough for one person to change the world. People have often said about changing the world... but with one man is it enough? How much can one man do? Even just the lately years, how many presidents around the world has said "Hey guess what? im gonna change the world!" And soon they stepped down... so has they changed anything? Indeed they have, they changed several things of course, but what would this benefit people around the world?
In one life time to change the world, is impossible... Unless we could create a culture... or a mindset.. that could live on forever as memories to others, even after we are not here anymore. Those memories are what that could immortalize us. With memories of us in another person, a part of us will always still be alive. And as long as this mindset of memories that we left behind are well preserved, yes we could change the world... not only by one life time, but more than that... Maybe even forever...
Just lately in the news i have heard a Chinese guy that was an ordinary man who sells noodles for a living, He went all the way to Japan just to give out noodles to others who were in hunger for free... For us we might think, its just a bowl of noodles, we could probably do more if we donate a large sum of money yea? But there were one thing forgotten by many... Money, in the end are just still a cold piece of paper with a value on it. However, love and warmth that was given by another would make much more meaning in life than just plain money... Take it this way, if one day you were on the sickbed and you had two choices...1. to have millions of dollars CASH beside you or 2. To have a doggy that had spent 10 years of its life with you... Which one would you choose? I didn't placed your family and friends as the 2nd choice because i wanted those out there to know, when the time comes when you really need someone, even a little doggy could triumph over a million dollars ... Just like how a small hot bowl of noodles in hunger could win over money... The Chinese guy gave himself a chance to do what he wished to do, what he always wanted to do and what he intended to do... He also gave a chance for those whom may die of hunger to live on and fight another day for their life...
Even tho its true that in life, without money there are a million things that we cant do, but its also true that without love, the million of things that we can do with money doesn't bring happiness...
Give others a chance,
Give yourself a chance.
Axel out...
