My 14th…
Today marks the last day of my 1st ICT @PLAB FDS. I must say that I pretty much enjoyed the 3 week break away from work. It gave me a much needed break away from the stressful work environment and I do feel invigorated now. I now understand why some of my buddies are so happy to go back to their unit for reservist.
Anyway it was also during this period of time that I finally had the time to read and finsh reading a book that was given to me by my dear former lecturer. Some of u may have already read it. The title of the book is "Tuesdays with Morrie". I must say that after reading it I have gained more insight on life. I would like to share a few quotes/extracts from Morrie Schwartz.
- "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning".
- "Sometime you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too-even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling".
- "Death ends a life, not a relationship"
Meaningful? Depends on how you perceive it I guess. ;0
Well anways I’m back to the office tomorrow and will once again embark on a tireless journey of work. Looking forward to it!
