At home, few days before the dawn of the third millenium
|
A buddhist saying goes, "Life is uncertain, death is certain,". Whatever it is, I intend to live my life to fullest, and this site, Talk About Life, pays tribute to my life and to those around me who helped saw me through it all. Twenty years might mean little to some, but to me it has been twenty wonderful years of learning and growing. After all in another five years I will be a quarter of a century old! If I should die the next day, so let it be. I want to know that I lived to be someone. Someone who made a difference no matter how small it is and contributed to making this world a better place. A mistake that most people make is that they put such ambitions too high. To you need to be a leader, you dont need to be a genius. Truth is, you don't need to be anything but yourself. Believe in yourself and at the same time, listen to those around you, your family, your friends, even strangers but don't be easily swayed. Know your limitations. The next time you feel sorry for yourself, ask yourself this question, "Why am I here?". The answer is within yourself but bottomline is nothing happens without a reason. As I mentioned earlier, this site is dedicated to my life and all those who made it worthwhile experience. So in this homepage of mine you will find out more about who I am, my family and my friends, even pets. Most of all I would like to dedicate this homepage to those dear family and friends who have gone before me. For those that I didn't include in this homepage of mine I hope you will not be disappointed. It is not because I am doing it on purpose but it will be virtually impossible to include everyone I know through the years. So many I have lost contact with and many more faded into childhood memories. For those I have failed to include here, rest well to know that you are remembered, even though I may even have forgotten your names. If any of you stumble into here and remember who I am, I hope you will drop me a mail for it is always good to keep in touch with old friends. Many of those whose names and faces appear in this site are those that I am still in contact with more or less. In the process of making this site, it was like reliving all those twenty years again. Looking at all those photographs taken of me, my family and friends through various stages of my life was like looking through a window back in time, happy and sad occasions, all those events that made me who I am today. Before I take up more precious online time by reading my meandering words, I would like to thank everyone I know for the memories and teachings throughout the years. If there is anything that I mentioned in this site that anyone finds offensive please do let me know. Lastly do take some time to sign my guestbook. Thanks! With love and best of luck for the future, 9th September 2000
