Alright! Take 5 seconds... Yes, 5 SECONDS to do this simple task: List out 5 things you cherish most, whether good or bad in any sequence, so whatever crosses your mind in the top 5 list, just put it down. E.g.
1. Family (as usual)
2. Friends (again, as usual)
3. Sleep (also, as usual)
4. Computer
5. Food!
Yea, if you've guessed, that's what I will cherish lar... *smiley*
*drum roll* If you've just shared the same thing (or almost the same) things as me, I'm sure that 5 is not enough! C'mon, there are more things that you can cherish in your life!
Take for example, early in the morning...
7a.m. : Wakes up in the morning, walks to the bathroom, tries to twist the tap on only to discover... NO WATER! *frust*
7.01a.m. : Fine, no water, still need to brush teeth... *reaches out to take toothbrush, picks up the tube of toothpaste in a blur condition... Squeezes the tube* WHAT?!!! NO MORE TOOTHPASTE?! *apparently forgot to stock up on toothpaste*
7.05a.m. : Last call, tries to bathe... *gets the towel, fresh change of clothes and briefs* Upon entering the shower room, places the towel, clothes and briefs on the hanger. Switches on the shower tap and there comes the water! Finally, something made right...
Trivial is it not? However, these are the simple things we take for granted at times. From something as insignificant as having the toilet lights functioning properly to major things like friendship and fellowship.
What if one day, you discover that your phone couldn't function anymore?
What if one day, you discover that your computer couldn't be turned on?
What if one day, you said something wrong and your friend gets all upset over it even when your friendship has been forged long enough to be close?
What if... And the list goes on and on... *emo-ing*
Humans will be humans, we can be forgetful at many other times. What's to prevent us from forgetting stuff? I myself can't remember what I had for lunch on a Sunday 3 weeks back... Heck, I don't even remember if I had lunch or not! Haha... Therefore, we shouldn't take things for granted so simply... YESH! Of Course! This same proverb has been repeated time and again, but they'll just be mere words that flashed through your vision as you read this, and until you actually experience this, you won't understand how important it is.
So people, appreciate what you have lar huh... Don't take things for granted.
Till then, Au Revoir~
P/S: Suddenly I feel like visiting my grandmother... As in both my grandmothers... =D
