Thanks for sharing the 夏韶聲 version... just listen liao, not bad... his version more like telling story kind of singing is different from Danny. Both are good singer but different type of singing method :) Just my thought lah...
Paiseh... I now seldom listen radio liao... But I like the old time rediffusion box the most cos got canto song, got story telling session which I like most :)
Briefly translated... # The primary student - It was better when I was in kindergarten. The secondary student - It was better when I was in primary school. The high school student - It was better when I was in secondary school. The uni student - It was better when I was in high school. The society worker - It was better when I was a student. The retiree - It was better when I was still working.
Have you come to the realisation yet? The best time is now. #
OK, Shanghai and HK as good as, if not better than Singapore ;)
I must say I'm very impressed with HK's public transport system. To the same location, I can choose between MTR, small bus, and the regular big busses. Competition and redundancy good for consumers!
But in Athens...
Metro equivalent average wait is every 10 minutes interval.
Bus around 20 to 30 minutes.
Throw in frequent union strikes (even taxis go on strikes), I decided to walk 80 minutes to and fro from work during my last year when Greek crisis erupted :(
Waiting can be a virtue and test of patience. In most of the circumstance, it is not advisable to wait. Time waits for no man or woman. Just take action.
I am of view that sometimes it is very difficult to decipher the difference. This is a possibility of one misinterpreting the difference. Novethless, it is better to make the decision immediately based on the prevailing circumstance and assessment. Action is better than non-action via procrastination.
This beats better than doing nothing at all. No action is akin to waiting for the durian to drop from the sky. This is indeed a reactive approach. Action is equivalent to making the decision and gaining the experience along the way. I will like to add one more things to try the different style of work. Of course, I am not referring to the works which include illegal activities. The same also applies to the work which may include grey area in which there is little differentiation between legal and illegal things. I quote one example of bike-sharing scheme in Singapore. It originated as a fresh and entreprenurial idea and eventually ended up as closed-down due to unknown reason (the details not reported in the media). This case is currently probed by the Authority. An example of crash got sound. Is it worthwhile for the starter of such business to start off with such plan? It depends on various individuals. If this business turned up to be a success, people will use it as an excellent example of business success. Afterall, it is a learning experience for the people involved.

This is one of the challenges which I deem necessary to overcome if one is to be free from such obiligation. Adopt the approach of ignoring the expectations of all which include the close ones. How many can do that? It will be an uphill barrier. Hence, few can make it.
I thought of Danny Chan after reading the heading.
ReplyDeleteOld liao easily emo...
WolfT,
DeleteLOL!
The older we get, the more we are in touch with our feminine side, no?
Who can forget Danny Chan's 一生何求?

pattythebaker,
DeleteIt must the alignment of the starts or the full moon effect around mid-autumn...
How come everyone is emo-ing around this time?
I think I need to go for my testosterone shots tomorrow...
等机会，机会到了，就别等了。
ReplyDelete等不及爱人，等不及做好人，
等得好。
Sillyinvestor,
Delete机会到了，前怕狼，后怕虎。。。
爱人碰到了，又三心两意。。。
想做好人，却爱抱怨。。。
等个屁！
等，原来又是一个借口。。。
To find out what is waiting like. Try public transport out of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteCW,
DeleteTell me about it!

Good bonus exercise! Free one some more!

What talking you?

ReplyDeleteBen
Ben,
DeleteIts like that door post.
Sometimes we should knock and wait for the door to open; sometimes we should just move on...
The problem is telling the difference!
Hence, most people would prefer to avoid making any decisions... But like you've said, time is ticking...
Hi Smol,
DeleteI am of view that sometimes it is very difficult to decipher the difference. This is a possibility of one misinterpreting the difference. Novethless, it is better to make the decision immediately based on the prevailing circumstance and assessment. Action is better than non-action via procrastination.
Ben
Ben,
DeleteOf course it is tough to tell the difference!
Some people, even though they have 10 years of experience, when we talk to them, we discover its merely 1st year experiece times 10 years!
That's the price of doing the same thing over and over again; never making any tough decisions or exploring something else along the way...
Then they are those who not afraid of "crash got sound". Do first then ask for forgiveness. Win some; lose some...
With 10 years of bitter sweet track record, I'll bet they would have a little bit more wisdom when it comes to - when to wait; when to let go...
;)

Deletetemperament,
ReplyDeleteLOL!
If people didn't know better, they would have thought we are two lovers quarrelling...
"U lost me because U can't wait for me anymore."
Now that's a line we read from romantic novels or movies!
Bloody hell, so that's what you did! No wonder talking to you in the recent months was a little bit "exasperating" ;)
You've become more "slippery"; your positions keep "shifting".
Looks like your meditation training has the opposite effect on me!?
Anyway, there are no doors at this watering hole. You're always welcome if you feel like chatting :)
We had fun, didn't we?
You're not my customer, and I not trying to monetise your readership into my alternative source of income.
You know I'll say it like it is ;)
Smol,
ReplyDeleteThis is the way how communication should be. Sometimes it gels. Sometimes it does not make sense. It is not an issue in my perspective,
Be happy. Can already. Like what you mentioned. "Crack got sound". The sound makes all happy and laugh. Life is short and Happiness is the way to go.
Ben
Ben,
ReplyDeleteIf I don't understand; I ask.
If I skeptical; I verify.
If I believe; I swallow hook, line and sinker!
LOL!

ReplyDeleteWaiting = missed opportunities
Rainbow girl,
DeleteThis sounds a lot like - when I'm financially free, then I'll...
Very few people have the courage to live in the present.
Most will either prefer to live in the past (it was better in the 80s); or live in the future (when I have X, then I'll do Y).
Walk on the pavement. Got hit by idiot e-scooter. Die.
Better hope there's reincarnation for a 2nd chance in living next time!
Smol,
DeleteDon't wait for the second chance which is very unlikely to come. Seize the present moment and live in the present. It's more practical.
Ben
Ben,
DeleteI'm screwed...
I don't believe in reincarnations or full dress rehearsals :(
;)
白白活着是因为选择在离开的时候不带走一片云彩? :P
ReplyDelete要把人生舖成鸿篇巨制，洋洋洒洒几十年须要何等的耐力与智慧！
找个借口，停停走走，只为了等天荒地老。
浑浑噩噩被塑造成望穿秋水就是用来来掩盖无力，无能，无为。
故事不精彩，又不甘平凡，所以除了等还能怎么办？
简单就是幸福.
DeleteEndrene,
Delete浑浑噩噩 (I bet someone is checking their dictionaries) is the more intellectual way of saying 醉生梦死 ;)
I'm feeling a little bit red-faced...
LOL!
Eh, I Singaporean OK? How can leave empty-handed?
At least must buy some souvenirs or take some photos... If not how to show others I've been here?
Still a long way when it comes to cultivation :(

Ben
Ben,
DeleteAnything worth doing is usually hard :(
We manipulate others, and let others manipulate us.
Big daddy tells us moving the goal posts is for our own good...
Our boss gave us opportunities and promoted us from nothing; now we must accept a new position we don't like...
Tiger moms guilt their children into doing what they want by drilling into children the "sacrifices" mom has made...
Friends put us in a tight spot to sell us useless products, "Eh! So many years brother, support me can?"
Smol,
DeleteIt's better to give an upright "No" once and for all rather than numerous "Yes" on continous basis.
