Ok, enough of mencarot today. I received this one thoughtful email from a good friend and I think it's good for me to share with you. (those italic, aku tokok tambah, you know me..haha. oh yes, I've deleted some unrelated points)
........................................................................................................................................
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio. "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written." My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
I believe they're also the one who (selain daripada famili) will sedekahkan yasin or paling kodi pun fatihah once I'm gone.
2. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
Richard Carlson in his book quoted that "life is unfair and accept it".
3. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
4. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
–hatred can only be overcome by love- Gandhi*
5. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
As i always say (and believe), some people are not worth your time to fight back.
6. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
Oh, i need to find my crying shoulder lah ini macam. Anyone? haha
7. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
8. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
9. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
10. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
I find myself a loser when keep compared to others.
11. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
12. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
13. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
Not to forget; Anyone. Simply ignore them.
14. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
15. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
16. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
17. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
Does it means we have to prepare to be upset as well??
18. The most important sex organ is the brain.
19. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
20. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
21. Always choose life.
22. Forgive everyone everything.
Forgive and to forget.
22. What other people think of you is none of your business.
23. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
24. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
25. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
26. Believe in miracles.
I am jinxed, how?
27. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
28. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
29. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
I wish to die at young age. Erk
30. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
31. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
32. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
33. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
But if it for a good course, why not kan?
34. The best is yet to come.
InshaAllah.
35. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
36. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
