HOW

another beautiful lyric

"I'm asking for your help
I am going through hell
Afraid nothing can save me but the sound of your voice
You cut out all the noise
And now that I can see mistakes so clearly now
I'd kill if I could take you back

But how?
But how?

Why does the one you love
Become the one who makes you want to cry

Though I don't understand the meaning of love
I do not mind if I die trying"


(Maroon 5 - How)

Cherish what you have right now, some people are dying to get back what they have lost. Show them how much they mean the world to you, its never too late to do that.

we should never be sad

Bhagavad Gita (Chapter II, 16-26)

'Man is not born, nor does he die. Having come into existence, he will never cease to be, because he is eternal and permanent. Just as man discards old clothes and puts on new clothes, so the soul discards the old body and puts on a new one. But the soul is indestructible; swords cannot pierce it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, the wind cannot dry it. It is beyond the power of all these things. Since man is always indestructible, he is always victorious (even in his defeat), and that is why he should never be sad'


cheers.

The Second Chance

I've just finished reading one of Paulo Coelho's books, Like The Flowing River. The book contains lots of stories, simple, short yet meaningful. One really is a big fan his works.

One of the story explain me about the second chance. People always say that you can never get a second chance. If you don't seize the moment than you've missed it. But they don't realize that life always give us second chance, we just have to be aware of it. The only thing that makes us believe there is no such thing as second chance is because we always close our eyes to our surroundings when we thought we already lose the first chance. We act as if the world is ended and its impossible for us to turn back the time.

Try to think this way, if chances in life is like bus schedule, then when one missed the first bus all one have to do is wait. And during that waiting periode, instead of regretting and cursing, one can learn and reflect, why did one miss the first bus? What should one do so that it wont happen again in the future? Remember there will always be the second trip, even though its the last trip for today, there's always tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Life always gives us a second chance.

cheers.
