Reminder to myself ...

I think I am one of those guys who just gets up each day being dissatisfied with what I have & wanting to have & fight for more. Sometimes too engrossed with my chase, that I forget small things. I guess everyone has their moments, where we need reminders.

Chanced across Xiaodoudou’s memoirs before she succumbed to cancer. It’s not a nice thing, death especially someone so young, but reading it gives me an insight into life of someone who’s grateful to live another day, to cherish it and live it to the fullest of every second. Saying your graces, thanks and reminding of how things we are fortunate to have is so important when we remember that fate does not lie in our hands.

It’s entitled, “I love my family & deerdeer”

I shall keep this in my mind, burning these thoughts hard … it’s not too long ago the Zahir reminded me of a similar analogy, why people at war live life to the fullest, because they live in a constant cherish of the moment, of today ...

Right, we never know what’s in store for us tomorrow. Even when we are not at war or with disease. Life’s fragile …

Seize life with both hands & cherish the golden moments, savour the joy. Give all you can give. People never remember the rich of the past, but those who gave their all to people, people who left a mark in lives & in history. That's the hallmark of great people.
