Something Meaningful...
Finally got a chance to watch Kungfu Panda today. Quite a show of enlightenment. I like to share these meaningful phrases from the movie.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery but today's a gift. That is why it's called a present. People indeed indulge in regretting or dwelling the past while fantasizing or making false hopes for the future. It only matters what you do and treasure now the most. Be it making improvements or making efforts in all the things you do.
No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange but you will get a peach.I have always regard my life as imperfect but this does not give me the reason not to make a difference or rather value my own life. I do wish to make a difference and I do try my best. But surely, things don't happen as planned so I always tell myself that maybe it's not meant for me and maybe there's something better out there. Or I need to work harder...there is always a second chance. I know it does sound like lying to myself but it's definitely better than to sit there and cry. As the saying goes, you get up from where you fall. If a 11 year old kid can understand that, I don't find a reason why some people can't.
Things don't always look as simple as it seems. For example, a rose is beautiful but if you are not careful enough, you might get pricked by its thorns. Have you ever wondered why does a bug still extract nectar from a Venus Flytrap even knowing it might be the last thing it does? 'Cos it can't resist the aroma of the nectar. Temptation or peer pressure can cause people to misjudge or blind themselves, doing things that differs from their principles. They might not only cause harm or trouble to themselves but to others as well.
In life, things don't always happen the way you thought it to be. You may imagine or even dream of an incredible life but once the dream is over, it's over. You will have to face reality, face the world and of course yourself. You may wish to run, avoid or even change your appearance but under all the makeup, disguise and shimmering items, it's still the same you. Time indeed can change a person but you cannot alter time. Time is also our existence. We take control of time and not others to control ours. Thus, we create our own future and not the future makes us.
