When time is the only issue ...

For those who really know me, i really dislike time wasting. The reason being is that time is the most valuable thing in one's life. You can use time to learn things, knowing new people, making yourself a better person. Instead of spending time complaining about life and how terrible your work is, why not use those time to find a better job and making your life an even better one.
I never knew how i end up thinking like that and i'm not sure when it all started, but i am quite sensitive to time wasting. I live myself learning not to regret as regretting will just waste more time.

However.....

..... thing changes a few days ago. I regretted for the first time in a long long time. It was a very terrible feeling. I tried looking elsewhere and keep my heart running but i couldn't. I couldn't lecture anyone anymore. People who came to me, complaining about the same thing over and over again, i just don't know what to say anymore....

....People who keep searching for freedom. Freedom from their parents, freedom from their current life.

.....People who complained about their job. Complained about their salary and that they are not paid their worth.

.....People who argued over nothing. Argued over words, over a single eye blink. Argued over dollar and cents.

.....People who couldn't work, couldn't smile because they are heartbroken .... again.

If these are the problems you are facing every morning when you wake up, go on..continue wasting your time. Cause if one day, when sickness hits you.. you will realize that all these doesn't matter anymore. You will be begging God to make you the poorest person on earth, to make the whole world hate you, to place you in the worst job ever, to make your heart break a hundred times more...just not to take your life away. Not taking away the life of the people you love.

On 28th January 2010, while i was hoping that Manchester United can beat the hell out of Manchester City and book a spot in the League Cup final, a very close family member left us. Cancer got the best of him after 2 over years of battle as he left his two daughters and his wife ( my sister ). It was really painful especially after knowing about the problem he faced for the past few years. How could i not know ?

Even with all the problems they faced, he told a close relative that the past 15 years was the best time of his life. He married the best woman in the world, and gave birth to 2 great kids. Nothing else matters. It was the first time i saw my sisters cried since cancer took dad's life way 17 years ago.

My friend, there is no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as it is solvable, then solve it right away and try your best so that it won't happen again. Because when it's time that you have to face a problem that you couldn't solve, there will be no amount of sorry and regrets that will make a difference.
