Just when I thought my life had reached quite a high point, in terms of various aspects, including the fact that a boss in the firm indirectly invited me to join his group upon qualification, my health deteriorated to the lowest point - to a state where I can't walk/stand without support. It's scary to know how fragile my body can be. I guess it's just the most drastic warning my body could give to stop me from non-stop activities.
Yet, my friend still commented, "you are still so busy when you are this sick."
I finally have the time to read. There is a quote I particularly like in Clinton's My Life:
"that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgments can make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes the only, response to pain."
Another quote he quoted:
"tell him to be alone often and get at himself and above all tell himself no lies about himself...tell him solitude is creative if he is strong and the final decisions are made in silent rooms."
I believe Solitude is something I lack in my life. Sometimes you just need a pause to think and evaluate.
Yes, rest is to equip for a longer, and probably tougher, journey. Thanks so much to those who support and take good care of me, especially my dear flatmate.
SKL, congratulations you got your first report accepted. I am so proud of you!!!!
Yeung Siu Lai, I am counting down the days before you get here to massage my back hahaha.
