This blog had been more dead than I thought. And for good reasons.
I think I set the motion for its impending doom when I took myself way too seriously right from the start. So to my fellow kopi kakis, I really hope to see you guys share random thoughts and insights that flashed through your mind each day, and for the rest of us to chip our 2 cent worth; whether it is a tongue-in-cheek response or one of great philosophical wisdom :p
I experienced several unrelated episodic events the last couple days. And it left me greatly humbled, at a point in time when, I was admit ably rather pleased with some of the achievements and recognitions I had received thus far. So I guess what I wanted to share with you guys is this (but mostly, a reminder to myself). Be humble. Be very humble regardless of what status you have attained in life because there will always be someone better than yourself. And when you foolishly behave as if you are of certain standing and status, you are just inviting the mockery of everyone around you.
What does the preceding para has to do with the starting topic? Absolutely nothing. And hence, my invitation again to my kopi kakis to share all your random thoughts and musing each day here.
Finally, gratz Yeow. I think life will never be the same again. But lets hope we can relieve the good old days from time to time (fingers crossed).
hmm...sometimes it is the greatest failures and most humbling experiences that shape us to who we are to become. it is a catalyst for better things to come, shld you choose take it as a life lesson.
ReplyDeleteI have more often than not been humbled in life, to the point that I get the feeling I will never shake that feeling away permanently. But I jus keep chugging away, with a promise to myself that I will be better man today than yesterday, that I am a better man becos of my humiliation than not.
Thnx for sharing that jere, but I was looking forward to that commitment to post more frequently from you at the end!
