Things I’ve Learnt in 2008
2008 has come and gone. It’s already 2009 and frankly speaking, I’m not ready for it yet.
2008 has been an eventful year. There were lots of ups and downs (just like any other year) with the exception that this particular year has more punch. Here’s what I’ve learnt the past year:
- Water is thicker than blood. Sad but true.
- Shit happens. Face it.
- What is not yours, is not yours. No use crying about it.
- What is gone is gone. So cherish it while you still have it.
- Not everybody will agree with you. Suck it up.
- Don’t blame the environment. Blame yourself. You are who you made yourself to be.
- Decisions are yours to make. Nobody can force you. Unless they point a gun at your head… Even then, you’re still the one making the decision.
- Once you’ve made up your mind to do something, don’t regret it later.
- Not everybody is born with brains. Those who do does not necessarily use them.
- Some people chose to be lazy.
- All government is corrupt. All.
- Those in power will always abuse their power. It’s a matter of how much…
- Ignoring a problem does not make it go away.
- If it’s your responsibility, it’s your responsibility. No way you can push it on to others.
- There is no such thing as luck.
- The heart is not always right. Sometimes you need to listen to the brain.
- Impulsive decisions are never good decisions.
- Money has its uses but it’s not everything.
- Love makes the world go round. Love also can kill you.
- Not all good deeds are rewarded. Just be happy you’ve done one.
Sounds grim and depressing? Well sorta but hey, I don’t regret it. 2008 is gone. Let’s see what I’ll be learning in the Year of the Ox.
