Deaths Gave Me a Lesson Learned

Been hearing a lot of people passing away lately and it has been very saddening. From my parents' close friend, to my primary school classmate's mom to my friend and my senior in my high school. I felt so shocked when I received each news because I somehow couldn't accept the fact that they passed away at the age they are not suppose to...

Life can be so strong and so fragile at the same time. 


We have always been told that we have to learn how to appreciate life, people etc etc etc.. Unfortunately, at times I wonder how many people are actually doing it? Many people often regretted at the things they didn't do..

I want to ask, how many times you actually go and meet that somebody when you have receive a call saying "hey.. let's meet up.." from your friend(s)? Rarely and the most common answers are always:

  • "Now? Oh.. I am sorry.. I can't.. I have something on.." 
  • "Nah.. maybe next time.. I am busy at the moment.."
  • I am lazy to go out now.. maybe next time"

Notice that all the answers contain "NEXT TIME"? Have you guys ever wonder what if next time never come? RARELY! Because we always take things for granted that we live long, we will always be safe and sound, we will never say goodbye all of a sudden so soon etc etc etc... Until something bad happens.. People pass away, they can never come back and only we notice we have missed that one last chance to meet them, we have missed that one last chance to call them, we have miss that one last chance to talk to them.. From then on, we blame ourselves, we blame life, we blame time, we blame everything but it all begins with ourselves. We then start to think we should have meet them, should have visit them, should have call them etc etc etc... but everything is too late now. 

Time don't wait for people. Time was pause for anyone. We don't have time machine to turn back time. What has been done are done, we can't change, can't turn back, can't travel back to where we should have change our answer from "NEXT TIME" to "SURE", from "SHOULD HAVE" to where we can say "LET'S DO IT".  

I know that many of you might say "but we were really busy at that time. It is not that we don't want to do it". But what about the time when you have done with your busy? Did you return that call? Did you think about calling them out again? We rarely do that because you always think that you have much better things to do and that can wait then that waiting has become eternity. 

Start to do what you want to do. Start to say whatever you want to say. Start to show how much you love them. Start to appreciate the time and people you have. Do it for a good cause. 

Never wait again...
