When things got hard, you start looking for something to blame. Let me tell you something you already know, the world aint all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean & nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
It aint about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take it and keep moving forward.
If you know how much you’re worth, go out and get how much you’re worth but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers and say you aint what you wana be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that but not you, you are better than that!
When i saw darling's FB status with this 2 words, i asked what it meant. He said: Seize the day. How meaningful, i thought to myself. After 1 or 2 months, i saw an ang moh with this 2 words tattooed on her shoulder. A search to be done for an answer to my curiosity was triggered; why would someone tattoo this 2 words?
A quick search on the internet and i got this:
The most famous of Horace\'s odes uses agricultural metaphors to urge us to embrace the pleasures available in everyday life instead of relying on remote aspirations for the future - hence his immortal motto \"Carpe Diem\", or \"pluck the day\"
Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero – "Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future", an emphasis on making the most of current opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting – an existential caution.
I just took 5mins to reflect on my life in Jan 2010 after darling left my place. Seriously, i need to buck up. I took too many things for granted. Grandma fell ill, bosses returning to Tokyo office (which means I'm getting 2 new bosses), 2 capable colleagues whom i have depended on in work left and etc. Unless i buck up and pull my socks up, if not i will not be able to deal with the upcoming changes. Like what I've identified to myself in the previous post, this year is gonna be a fast and furious one.. I need to Stop skipping lessons and start revising. I don't want to regret (again) when my examination date nears, I don't want to cross my fingers till the results are released, I don't want to retake any module and I want to achieve the results I want. There's no free lunch in this world, i must work hard for what i want because things will not just happen by itself to go the way i want it to be.
