Perspectives

Read this interesting story (sorry, only in Cantonese!!) from a blog I frequent, which really got me thinking.

Firstly, sometimes we can really learn something from the most unlikely of sources, provided we are open-minded to receive the wisdom. Secondly, and stemming from my experiences in Tango, attitude is essential to attain competence (and of course excellence!) in anything. Someone having all the right physical attributes but to proud to admit limits in knowledge is often overtaken by someone else who may be physically disadvantaged (height, size, etc.) but with humility and open-mindedness to try something different.

The purpose?

“We shall not be here forever. One day the kind old nurse will come
and rock us all to sleep. Let us help one another while we may.”

Goodbyes

I just realised that I hate saying good byes. More and more so recently.

In the last 8-9 months, friends have left for studying overseas, to work or simply to pursue a different life in a different country. Parting seems to be getting harder but at the same time increasing frequency. Can people ever become accustomed to this? Or do we just resign to the fact that sooner or later this will happen?

Perhaps with each passing years, there is the realisation each parting may become permanent?

Our world
