Most don’t realise the true essence of time until they realise that they’re close to using up their limit. I was just brooding today until I heard the news that the mee pok man (the SC one) passed away last week from a heart attack. It was quite a shocking piece of news; exactly a month ago, I’d just eaten at his stall.
Then I realised how trivial some of those things I’d been mulling over were, and how foolish I was to waste time dwelling on them. Life is so much bigger than that! I still remember the drive and optimism I had in order to fight for my place in medicine (especially when one snr doc actually told me that I was unlikely to get in because of …), funny how doctors discriminate too eh.
Anyway, now that I’ve been given the chance, I should fire up more of that drive and do something really great rite! (And to hell with other nitty gritty!)
To the-very-sian-and-depressed-person, you’ll feel much better after the exams! And I’m sure your disillusionment will ’self-dispel’! Life is tough, but you’re tougher, rite?
(Oh dear, am I beginning to sound like one of them idealistic kids?)
