Time is Life

I went to a friend's office for some official issues today. I knew she had been feeling down recently over losing of someone dear. I did not ask any details about it at all and I thought of just dropping by to see if I can be at any kind of assistance, but then she began telling stories from the day her uncle fell ill to his leaving. I shed tears uncontrollably for I had been into the situation before. It was so heart breaking to hear story of losing someone so dear in such a short period of time. For hours of spending time with her, she shared a few incidents of her own friends and she taught me a lot of things about life. She kept saying that we should not argue over small issue, we should appreciate what we have in front of us, appreciate the time spent together, just appreciate as we do not know what will happen in any minutes, anywhere to anyone. Before I left, she said, 'Come on Li Maan, don't argue. Just appreciate'. Simple yet so meaningful words, I shed tears again emotionally. She shared many things without feeling shy, I was touched for having someone whom I just got to know for only months could share so much, and I feel so comfortable like she is a big sister to me. She is such a sweetheart. I sincerely thank her for her words, for having her time spent chatting with me during the working hours, for helping me in my work, I simply thank her for sharing some similarity over life. Thank you, Ms Cheang.

Why don't we make use of the time to appreciate what we have?

Time is Life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable.

To waste your time is to waste your life.

To master your time is to master your life.

One has only one life, live with no regrets.
