We only live once

I was reading a post by my good friend, Zwee on his post on Spread e Love. It struck me deep and made me put on my thinking cap again. Life is so fragile and sometimes we just take things for granted. We’ve been totally immersed in our daily routines without realizing our lives past by just like that. Drowning in the rat race yet again. But then again, what Zwee mentioned was true. People do make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes are too embarrassing to share but I shouldn’t regret what I have done. I still remember a quote from the Sports Awards Dinner three years ago: “I race with a philosophy not to regret what I do, meaning, not to cross the finishing line and think I could have done better.”

Below is an excerpt from his post:

“A couple of weeks ago, a perfectly healthy friend was diagnosed with blood cancer. It scares me.

I’m scare i’m unable to do all the things I want to do. Life is unpredictable and fragile. “Live everyday as if it is your last.” It seems so cliche, but it speaks so much truth. Most unfortunately, this is so often forgotten as we slip into our daily routines, watching our lives past us by.

I love the feeling of being inspired, waking up and looking forward to something every single morning. I enjoy doing new things and try stuff that will make my heart jump out. I make mistakes all the time, and at times these mistakes are so embarrassing I would be too ashamed to tell, but i’ve never regretted what I have done. Every experience is something I can look back to and say to myself, I’ve done it. Good or bad. There will be stories and anecdotes to tell and teach the kids and grand kids. “

We only live once, it’s time to get out, do something and live for something.”
