Think of this. This sentence stamped the movie of "Cool Runnings".

 

Life has its weird moment. I watched this movie countless times but this quote only struck me the most recent time I watched it.

On an RBA flight from HK back to Brunei. Watching a movie in most uncomfortable situations.

I love Cool Runnings. Let's get this off from the start.

It fun, warming and most of all, inspirational.

It brought tears to my eyes even though god knows how many times i have watched it.

 

But this time after I watched it, it completely dawned on me.

Yes, it was inspirational on what they have to overcome and achieved along the way.

But what was truly amazing was the message it delivered in that quote and the ending reflected upon it,

which I only comprehended now.

 

Irv: Derice, a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.
Derice Bannock: Hey coach, how will I know if I'm enough?
Irv: When you cross that finish line tomorrow, you'll know.

 

何謂知足?

不簡單, 不簡單

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remembered this very distinctively in the movie Coach Carter.

Samuel L Jackson kept hammering this question to this troubled player of his.

Until one day the realisation came and the student answered his teacher.

 

Quote by Marianne Williamson

 

 

 

 

 

I have got wine, but I am alone. Hence, I invited the moon, myself and my shadow and three of us drink together.

The Moon does not participate in drinking, and shadow wil only move to my dance, I console myself, be happy now before the spring suddenly passes you by.

The Moon hung around for my singing, and shadow dance together with my steps. Party together when awake, however everyone left after we finished drinking.

I wish to travel with Moon and Shadow forever, even though they may seem cold, and promise to meet at the end of the universe and heaven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In his new book, How to Love, Gordon Livingston explains the key to a long-lasting loving relationship is finding a person who possesses most of what he calls the 10 "essential virtues" -

將進酒 (李白)

君不見
黃河之水天上來，奔流到海不復回？
君不見
高堂明鏡悲白髮，朝如青絲暮成雪？　
人生得意須盡歡，莫使金樽空對月。
天生我材必有用，千金散盡還復來。
烹羊宰牛且為樂，會須一飲三百杯。
岑夫子，丹丘生，
將進酒，君莫停。　　
與君歌一曲，請君為我側耳聽。
鐘鼓饌玉不足貴，但願長醉不願醒。
古來聖賢皆寂寞，惟有飲者留其名。
陳王昔時宴平樂，鬥酒十千恣歡謔。
主人何為言少錢，逕須沽取對君酌。
五花馬，千金裘，
呼兒將出換美酒，與爾同銷萬古愁！

好!好!好詩!

 

白居易

 

勸酒詩

 

勸君一杯君莫辭 勸君兩杯君莫疑 勸君三杯君始知
面上今日老昨日 心中醉時勝醒時
天地迢迢自長久 白兔赤鳥相趨走
身後金星掛北斗 不如生前一杯酒

 

好句; 好句.

 

 

獨行俠能替生命留痕;

可是淚流了只能無痕;

心碎更不能留下痕漬.

 

爸爸說: "甚麼是喔枝吧啦, 你知道嗎?"

我答: "不知道. 連怎樣寫還是一個問題. 意思知道啦. 很多東西參參在一起. 亂亂參. 哈哈哈"

爸爸說: "喔枝吧啦不就是代數囉!"

我在想, "甚麼代數喔? 狗屁不通!"

爸爸說: "代數英文是甚麼?"

我講: "Algebra 囉"

"哇嘮! 咁都得!"

 

想深一點, 他媽的是很有道理叻.

x + y - a x b / z = 32 還不是喔枝吧啦是甚麼, 你跟我講

 

 

They say learn to give before you can get anything back.

But I gave everything i could and more but got nothing but heartache in return.

Its only then i realised,

it says you will get something back,

it does not necessary mean it will be a good thing,

nor does it specify how long you have to wait for your return.

So you give, you wait, you give again, you wait again.......................................

 

 

這星期.

感覺無奈,傷心.

一個電話.

一個P.M.

不一樣的人.

情緒起伏不定.

是我的問題嗎?

還是大家都想,走,放不開?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Watch your thoughts, they become WORDS;

Watch your words, they become ACTIONS;

Watch your actions, they become HABITS;

Watch your habits, they become CHARACTERS;

Watch your characters, for it becomes your DESTINY.

 

Very true indeed.

Deep down you might have the kindest heart, but your character will be judged by your habit, actions and words.

 

出生一張紙 , 開始一輩子
畢業一張紙 , 奮鬥一輩子
婚姻一張紙 , 折磨一輩子

做官一張紙 , 鬥爭一輩子
金錢一張紙 , 辛苦一輩子
榮譽一張紙 , 虛名一輩子
看病一張紙 , 痛苦一輩子
悼詞一張紙 , 了結一輩子

淡化這些紙 , 明白一輩子

忘了這些紙 , 快樂一輩子
