锦绣未央
- “善报终善自己”
- 一叶障目： 一片叶子挡在眼前会让人看不到外面的广阔世界。比喻被局部或暂时的现象所迷惑。
- 毛泽东《论持久战》：“一叶障目，不见泰山，而自以为是。”
- 李陵錄別詩二十一首 其五（魏晉•無名氏）(54集引用)
結髮為夫妻，恩愛兩不疑。歡娛在今夕，燕婉及良時。 征夫懷往路，起視夜何其。參辰皆已沒，去去從此辭。 行役在戰場，相見未有期。握手一長歎，淚為生別滋。 努力愛春華，莫忘歡樂時。生當復來歸，死當長相思。

"Shaw liked to be paradoxical and contrary, and the paradox here is obvious. From middle age onward we observe the energy, strength and enthusiasm of young people and think, "What I could do with those. Now that I have some wisdom and maturity, I could put those qualities to good use and make something of them, rather than squandering them in childish carelessness." The paradox is, of course, that if we were allowed to be youths once again we would do exactly what we did then, and squander our youth (as it seems now) just as we did then. Of course, Shaw knew perfectly well the inherent fallacies of this and other of his dicta, but he enjoyed turning a phrase based on the painful contradictions of life."

fresh blank pages
I'm sure I need not explain more for how busy I've been with life for the past few months hahaha.

Today, I just wanted to jot down this day of mine, 8 June 2018.
I think I've mentioned before how sometimes you may know things, but that doesn't mean you understand and have learnt it.
Today, I finally had a taste of why each day is a fresh blank sheet of paper in my life. I finally learnt to not let yesterday's worries and troubles have any power over today's brand new day. It is a fresh page that is full of possibilities that has yet to come, a fresh page where I have control over what I want to write and make true.
I've come to realise that bad times will come regardless of how ready or prepared you are.
I learnt that it is more effective to learn how to acknowledge it, let necessary emotions flow naturally and be quick to find a solution to act upon.
Life hit me hard lately and just yesterday something major happened which finally pushed me to the limits of my limits. For a very rare time, I wanted to surrender and give up completely.
But I am very grateful for today, for the timely #KPMGSportsDay2018, which gave me a day to break out of my usual routine.
Maybe it's the early morning basketball games // which we won all 4 games(!!!)
Maybe it's that moment at the field with the sun shining so generously upon us // there's something about watching sports on the field on a sunny day that always remind me of the gift of youth and the optimism they bring
Or maybe it's the finale relay that helped end the event on such a high note // I had such good laughs while cheering at the dino race because it was really so cute and comical to watch it live. Laughter is the best medicine and can cure everything if you let it. Don't you agree?
P.S Terribly sorry dino runners, I can imagine how tough it is to run in that suit but you guys gave your best and helped give everyone (not forgetting the little kids and children there too) a good memory to remember *CLAPS and hats off to you*
So yes... I am surprised that I can still be extremely happy today (the irony and stark contrast with yesterday's dark troubles). I am thankful that I have the choice and ability to act upon my life and change things . To let things flow and put myself out there to think less, do more, play more, enjoy more.
Each day can be a fresh blank sheet of paper.
& it is such a good thing to be grateful for because you are gifted with this reset button every twenty four hours.
