It was a sunny afternoon and the weather was hot! I was walking in Pasir Ris Central covered with shirts that was half-wet. For no reason I looked up, I was amazed by a cloud that floated next to a palm tree. Quickly, I ran to my car, took the camera and took the shot!
Many times in life, when we are surrounded by hash environment, we tend to forget the beautiful things that exist nearby. Yes, nearby is the word! Because we need not have to travel far to collect the wonderful gifts around us. It's a matter of the mind, the perspectives we have for ourselves. If we only treasure things of a certain values, we will fail to see nice little things that is meaningless to us. As we raise our expectations to higher levels, we might not be able to see the things we treasured once. Worst still, when we mark our expectations at a point that is beyond our reach, we will then be chasing our goals all our life and might end up with pains and sadness. As a result, we will not be able to appreciate our life to the fullest!
Therefore, it is good for us to be realistic! Perhaps slow down our pace a little and look around us. There might be many beautiful things you that you failed to see in the past and you might appreciate them better by now!
