Do Not LIve To Regret!!!

Yesterday my eldest daughter went to a wake of his friends’ late mother. The mother was involved in a terrible accident and died on the spot. My daughter told me that her former classmate was so heart broken. It causes me ponder that too often our youngster tends to regret too late. Not that I am always trying to pick on our youngster, but unfortunately, I am a little pessimistic about our youth this day. I read too often in my student’s blog about how they are very much unhappy with their parents. At times, they even used harsh words about their parents. It is only when their parents are not around then they start lamenting. You would notice that in many of my blogging, I am trying to steer our youngster to a path that they will learn to be good person, not just academically but more important, morally!!! But as a parent, what is the use of lamenting for them when they are no longer around? Youngster should learn to show their parents due respect and appreciation. But instead of these, I had too often heard of them raising their voices to their parents, slamming the doors at the parent when they are not happy.

Let me tell you, in my days, if we ever do such things, you can expect a good spanking from our parents. No questions asked, a good spanking then they let you know why? Answer? Very simple!!! No matter what, you have to show respect to the elders!!! So I would encourage all my young readers to show love and appreciate to their parents while they are still around.

The other thing is that the deceased was only about early 50s. Life is very uncertain. Any thing can happen without even us realizing it. So, may I encourage all my young reader to value their lives while they are still living. Do things that you will not destroy your life. That which is of good value, do not refrain from doing them. As many of you have been blessed with a comfortable life, do not forget those that are less privilege. As each and every one of you venture into a working life soon, do spare a thought for the many elderly who might be struggling to life a simple life. It is heart breaking to see old ladies collecting empty drinks cans at the hawker center, just so that they could have a simple meal. Please do not be too materialistic and too individualist, caring only for yourself. I guess that all I have to blog for today, hopefully, it will not depress you after reading but rather make you change your whole lifestyle, a lifestyle that will bless others.
