The path to our destination is not always a straight one...



“The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. ”

Barbara Hall (born 1961)

Jim's Reflections...
  • This is life. It is never a bed of roses. There will be a lot of challenges along the way. It is not about how we fall, but how we get up and move on. Most importantly, we must learn and be wiser in the process.
  • I have fallen several times in my life. Screwed up my A levels, career got derailed, etc. But, I kept telling myself not the give up but to fight on. We got to stand up, learn and move on...These wrong roads and challenges along the way make us a better person if our attitude is correct. It builds you up in terms of your Character. These failures in life helps you to know yourself better and master yourself! This is priceless.
  • Today, our young ones are not failing enough. Their lives are too protected and shielded. If they don't fail now and learn to pick themselves up in small little ways, I am not sure if they will have the resilience to face bigger life challenges ahead of them.

  1. Very true, we only truly fail the day we quit and give up. For the matter of fact, life is like any journey we make in our lives, when is the last time we travel a literally straight direct route from origin to destination? I dun recall ever doing that!
