thinking aloud

i almost let the sunday pass without reading the papers. as i was
having my "breakfast dinner" composed of eggs and hotdogs and coffee,i
instantly grabbed the sunday edition of philstar.

i came across bum tenorio's article entitled "random thoughts." he has
compiled a number of thoughts and learnings he has deemed imperative as
he faces his life challenges. he also asked a couple of friends for
their thoughts. i wouldn't wanna post them here,but what i'll do is share
my own. so here,let's compare if we share the same lessons.

-a person can't have it all. one may have a kick-ass career,but is
doomed to be alone all his life. or it may be that one can have all the
wealth he can handle but is deprived of a healthy body.
-needless to say, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
-you don't really forget a painful experience. you only learn to accept
it and move on. but you will always remember.
-sometimes no matter how you pray for things to go a certain way,if
it's not meant,it will NEVER be.
-prayer is not a spare tire that you pull out if you think your life
has gone flat. it's the steering wheel that navigates your path to
wisdom,strength and peace.
- being "in love" is a state of mind. "Love" is a verb as it takes more
than commitment and feelings to sustain it. it's always a work in
progress.
- indifference is the opposite of love
- forgiving others is difficult if you can't forgive yourself
- success will always be attributed to passion -- passion to carry out
tasks with all your heart,mind & soul
- people hardly realize what they wanna do in life. some people learn
about it at 20, some in their 40s. some already know early on,but don't
exert extra effort to pursue their passion.
- if you lose a romantic love, you will gain friends' a hundred more
times
- a person may say a thing one moment,but may never mean the same some
other time. so a promise is never an assurance that you can hold on to
it if time tests it

so far,these are the thoughts on top of mind. i have so much things to
learn,and i will surely keep them.
