After 27 years, four months and four days
1) I've learnt that
I have so many homosexual friends than I can count, and the number is growing
2) I've learnt that
people who never fail, are those who never achieve anything worth the effort. Because I believe that the things that won't kill me would only make me stronger, therefore I should always find new adventure to test myself thus promote my growth.
3) I've learnt that
to really be happy and proud of someone is to truly understand the emotional, mental, physical journey that they went through to get there
4) I've learnt that
to give is always better than to receive
5) I've learnt that
always begin something with the end is mind
6) I've learnt that
I first need to understand before I can be understood
7) I've learnt that
luck has very little to do with anything, it is within ourselves and the higher power that create things.
8) I've learnt that
I should always uphold the 'win-win' relationship
9) I've learnt that
Human assets are always the most important than other types of assets
10) I've learnt that
I can't really choose who I love, what I can choose is who I want to be, and how I can adapt myself to compliment the person I love
11) I've learnt that
Calling and talking to myself as a second person is not really effective. I've seen this movie called the "Sunshine Cleaning" and the leading lady in an affirmative everyday practises says these words;
You are beautiful
You are talented
You are powerful
You are a winner
And I think that it would be better and more effective if I were to practise those affirmative I should change it to;
I am beautiful
I am talented
I am powerful
I am therefore a winner
12) I've learnt that
And I totally agree with Tanjung when she said, time heals all wounds only if you let it. And I've learnt that after 7 years living in pain only realising it after I actually truly let myself heal - my healed self is truly happy now.
13) I've learnt that
I should always face my fears. Then only will my fears disappear.
14) I've learnt that
I can't rely on one other person to hold and be the only source of my happiness. I control and create happiness around me.
15) I've learnt that
I know my mother is impossible to be understood, but I believe if people were to give her time and patience they would know that she has a wonderful heart. And seriously a brilliant insightful person.
16) I've learnt that
I shall never expect people to reciprocate any good deeds I've perform towards them. I should be open to let others do that, because I did not do those deeds just for that person, I actually perform those deeds 'ikhlas' to the world, thus the world will reciprocate
17) I've learnt that
Sometimes it is easier to forget how to be decently nice to strangers. My not-so-trusting nature have always blinded me to mistrust people. I should always remind myself that when there is an opportunity to be nice and kind to people, I should take it at the first instance, but when that niceness and kindness been asked and taken for granted for the third time, I should say goodbye to that person. Because that person has already asked more than he/she should like the Malay saying "Dah bagi betis nak peha" or my saying " Dah bagi peha nak my fantastic ass".
18) I've learnt that
Nothing is perfect, but I can make it work perfectly for me.
19) I've learnt that
Without the people I've met in my life even those just for a short while, I would not be here; emotionally, mentally, physically, geographically and spiritually. They have helped shape the person I am today.
20) I've learnt that
My pedometer is seriously the best investment I could ever made. I have make full use of it. My Body Fat% has reduce quite substancially.
