Recently a friend suddenly sms me out of a sudden. His exact words "somehow I always felt that there is a reset button in life but I couldn't seem to find it now." And I knew exactly how he felt. At the age of 30, you are expected to settle down, show some results financially and somehow prepare for the inevitable adulthood. The key thing that led him to say this was that somehow, time ebb pass our hands so fast. It sounds cliche but true, if I ask around, most people of my age will still remember clearly the events when they were around 18-21 years old. Ten years literally burst away from us.
This sentence also meant that there are so many things that he feels that he should have done when we were younger. Somehow, many people felt this way at our age. Than I imagine it would be worse when we are 60 or 70 and looking back. It teaches us to do what we endeavour to do, instead of procrastinating. But the truth is, its easier said than done. How many times have we heard ourselves leaving something to another day, to decide not to tell someone that you love her before its all too late?
We all make hard decisions everyday; regardless of which ones you made, I wish you the wisdom to decide the best and courage not to look back. For me, yes, I do feel the same and agreed with him; All that we can do now is treasure our days more. Which brings me back to another point, why we spent majority of our time on a job that we don't really enjoy, but that's another topic altogether...
