"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".
---Mahatma Ghandi
To forgive
Is not to forget.
To forgive
Is really to remember
That nobody is perfect
That each of us stumbles
When we want so much to stay upright
That each of us says things
We wish we had never said
That we can all forget that love
Is more important than being right.
To forgive is really to remember
That we are so much more
Than our mistakes
That we are often more kind and caring
That accepting another's flaws
Can help us accept our own.
To forgive is to remember
That the odds are pretty good that
We might soon need to be forgiven ourselves.
That life sometimes gives us more
Than we can handle gracefully.
To forgive is to remember
That we have room in our hearts to
Begin again
And again,
And again.
And again!
Let me start this life anew again with this coming New Year 2005...whee!!! I guess most of you are looking forward for this very coming New Year, right?? Same here... forgiveness will be the first thing that comes to my mind, followed by my new motivation to study and excel better from time to time, good EQ, nice birthday party in early January and yes...celebrating my early 20s next year!!
Well, I really can't imagine what is it like to be 20... really!! teens stage have passed without much good memories but I really believe that the coming years in the 20s will be a good and a better one indeed!! No matter what, life is still as precious as it is... no matter how dark the circumstances are!! Make the full use of the life and the future that God has install it for me and that will be good enough... Getting to the higher hierachy in the Maslow's hierachy of needs will be a tough one as having to go through one stage by one stage in order to achieve the highest level: self-actualizing!!
Having said that, perhaps looking back at the past 19 years that I've been through, there's not so much about special or good memories except for achieving so-called 'brilliant' results in the college exams for the past 2 years-- guess that would be the most memorable one and not to forget, getting to know so many positive friends that are not willing to give up encouraging me to move on for this past 2 years have been also a great motivation for me that kept me going and the lecturers at HELP too: they have non- stop giving me the moral support nor stop pouring out their efforts in their superb/'brilliant' teachings, giving me the emotional and moral support that guide me to have a better well-being and excelling in my exams as well as my studies!
Sending my 'precious' gratitude and a bunch of "Thank You" to all of you that has been continuing giving me the support and telling me that, "YES, I CAN DO IT" ^.^ and these shows that you guys have so much faith in me that has make me to indeed to have some faith and confidence in myself, especially when I was going through this very tough semester with 3 PSYC Papers and the other 2 electives.
Thank You once again, everyone!!!! And thank God also for His loving care and guidance for me throughout my years of studies. T__T
