Sharing of a simple, yet inspiring story~~
Thursday, August 17th, 2006HI All,
Today juz wanna share a little story that I have come across, n really put me into deep thoughts. Here it goes…..
Once a upon a time, there is this 3 brothers, A,B, n C living together in their 60 storeys flat. One fine day, after their shopping trip on the way home, they discover that the lift is spoilt. So A decided to climb 60 storeys of stairs up to their home and B & C agreed.
After climbing for about 10 storeys, A suddenly made a suggestion. He say, "Hey, Y don we each tells a sad story so that time is past more easily." B & C agreed and B volunteered to start first.
"I have this fren who’s life is a tragedy. HE lost his parents since young, recently he juz gt retrench and his wife wanna divorced with him." Upon hearing this, A & C started crying out of pity for this man. Then its C’s turn..
"I have this female fren of mine aso very cham. She married this man whom she tot is a good man but turns out to be a violent man. He often abuse her wen he is not in a gd mood or drunk, leaving alot of scars on her. Wen her fren saw it n ask her wat happen, she will always hide the truth from em. One day, she finally cant tak it and choose to commit suicide." By the time C finish his story, A & B r both in tears already.
Finally they reached 59 storeys, n its A’s turn to say his story.
"Errrr, sorry guys, I left our house keys in the car."
The end
******
Putting the same situation in our life, associating 60 storeys as our 60 yrs old, and the key to someth dat we hope to achieve wen we reached 60yrs old. I asked myself, do i want to leave blurly for 60yrs without knowing where and wat is my key? Do i want to slog all my live till 60yrs old to find that actually i did not achieve anyth? Its really scary at the tot of still workin n worrying for living at that age isnt it. So after i listen to the story, I realise that its still not too late for me to run down from 22storeys to tak my key then to wait till I climb even high and e dist fr me n the key bcome further n further.
The reason y i hav a strong urge to share this story is bcos most of my fren are about the same age as me. I hope tis little story will aso inspire them to tink about their life and live with no regrets.
Next, I wanna extract 4 sentence from this book tuesday with Morrie to share with all of u. I felt touched wen i saw these sentences. Its juz like encouraging a fren of mine. A fren who intro this book to me. I want to tak this chance to remind her again wat she has read b4.
1) "Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to"
2) "Accept the past as the past without denying it or discarding it"
3) "Learn to forgive yourself and forgive others"
4) "Dont assume that its too late to get involved"
With that, I end my entry for today.
