Its my birthday. And here are 10 reflection of the past year. These thoughts are gained through the culminations of knowledge I’ve gained from people around me over the past year. As you read them, you would probably know who I am talking about :P
Letting go - Sometimes, Letting go is the right thing to do. There will be people in your life that you are fond of and close with. But when it is time for you or for her to leave. Let it go. Let your logos win over your Eros. Like that Robert Palmer song every kind of people, it takes every kind of people to make the world go round, and amidst of all these people, you want a person who needs you too.
Family – Family comes first. As I aged. I realized your family (and your dogs) are the only one who will love you unconditionally
Work – Work is about the end. And successful ends starts with the drive and attitude. Good attitude makes work all that fun and exciting.
Vacation – For me, vacation is all about seeing different things and learning new cultures. It is also a great time for self reflection. I had a good vacation this year. It was during those quiet silent nights on the hotel balconies when my mind and directions go a lot clearer.
Youth – Needless to say, youth is escaping me. But what I have gained is
Sports – Triathlon is a sport that keeps you occupied. Good for the mind and the body. I’ll also make you a happy person.
Material good – Nice to have, trying to get more. But if I don’t need it, I don’t need to have it.
Friends – Friends are those who share the same value and interests as you. We are all getting older with our own families and lives, the moment we spend together are precious. As I get older, I am more selective about my friends.
Knowledge – I stalled somewhat in my desire to learn new things since I despise intellectuals, but that does not give me the right to not expand my horizon.
Eddie – with my Bday, I just gained another layer. But please be patient with me if you care. And in return, I will reciprocate. For those of you who values me, I will be there for you when you need me. If you don’t, and if I have no value add to your life. I will stay aloof and adrift.
What did you have to drink tonight?
