“WHO IS YOUR TEACHER?
Everyone you come across is your Teacher,
..Family members, as they teach you sacrifice and unconditional love;
...Friends, as they teach you how to share joy and sorrow;
...Young kids, as they teach you patience, and “to live for the day”;
...Beggars, as they teach you generosity and compassion;
... L-learner drivers, as they teach you patience;
....Pick-pockets, as they teach you to manage emotions, letting go, forgive and forget; and
.... Those who are with disability and those with dementia; as they teach you empathy and (lots of) patience.
So you see, there is no lack of good Teachers, it’s just that we are bad Students,
We learn but we never practise.”

“LIFE IS A JOURNEY
Life on earth is a JOURNEY where the only certainty is the final STOP: DEATH.
But as we journey on towards DEATH, we can create little STOPS along the way,
These STOPS can give us a sense of purpose in life, something to work towards to, something to aim for,
But let’s not get hung up with these stops ‘cos not all stops are what we expect them to be,
For every stop that meets our expectations, there are many other stops that can be disappointing,
Just like running towards the next bus-stop to get away from the rain only to find out that there is no shelter or someone has vandalised the shelter,
So instead of getting all fixed up on the stops, focus on the JOURNEY,
Enjoy the JOURNEY and stop whenever you feel like stopping to enjoy and savour the moment,
And lend a helping hand to someone along the JOURNEY,
For the stops and destinations are not as important as the JOURNEY itself.”
