All of us plays this common game. Some of us play it to win, some to lose and while there are some who are the sitting between the fences because they do not know what they are playing for. Yes, today we are talking on the topic on “Life”. In the virtual world, we could choose whether we want to participate in a game. Lets say we click on the “Start Game” button and we’ll be forwarded to the game. We have a choice. But that game of life, we don’t. We are born into the world unable to decide if we want to or not.
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” are the words of the famous Englishman, Theodore Roosevelt. In other words he means make the best out of everything. If there is one thing that we Singaporeans have to learn i would have to vote for a grateful and contented heart. We’re just not contented with what we have. People complain because they are not contented. Singaporeans have to learn to make the best out of situation. A couple of men in our government are great men themselves, one of which we all know is responsible for making Singapore who we are today. He had the zeal, aggressiveness and seemingly has controversial ways of making things right. Unfortunately, he did not successfully pass those traits down to the next generation.
So in conclusion, whether we have an axe or a scythe for war, make the best out of our situations. Have the to-be-coveted-after traits that our forefathers had when they brought us out of freedom. Where our treasure is there our heart will be. Today if we want to be successful, lay the foundations right, be thankful in all circumstances and do not complain ! (:
