The title of this entry sounds like you are about to see
some whining from an unhappy girlfriend. If you’ve come for this, well, you
would be very disappointed.
It is actually another realization.
This realization keeps surfacing in my mind- certain people
I’ve met, and what I’ve found them to be doing through casual conversations
have inspired and reminded me on the idea again and again. That in the long term, actions matter a million times more than words.
A certain HK billionaire well-known for his rag-to-riches
story has shared one of the many elements building up to his success, in my own
words it means something like this: Young
people nowadays gravitate towards immediate success, an easy way out, a short
cut. They fail to see that success will come not in one or two years, but ten
or twenty. That made them weak in the mind and they tend to give up too easily.
A famous Chinese Actor has said that, for a person to have
accomplished just one good thing in his life, and to have done it extremely
well, is the accomplishment of life itself.
Somewhere along the way I’ve come across this message: Taking
action to resolve one’s fear, no matter what and how small, will definitely be
better than doing nothing.
I’m blessed that I’ve come to the point where I was able to
see where all these are leading, that they mean the same thing, just disguised
as different quotes.
Throughout our life, we will be pursuing dreams, making our
own statement about who we are, and eventually, leaving a certain legacy about
who we used to be. We all want that kind of identity. But in the passing of time, who will remember us? And even, who will we
remember ourselves always dreaming of becoming?
That vision of ours.
I guess it won’t be too wrong to say that, 99.99% of what
you’ve said will be forgotten. It’s not about saying the right thing, but doing
the right thing--not forgetting to take small steps towards your dream. Because
small deeds accumulate into bigger ones, and they are without doubt the true
testament to your hard work and who you really are.
None of what you’ve said would remain, but those that you’ve
done? They would sustain the test of time, like carbon being buried underground
for thousands and thousands of years will eventually turn up as diamonds, with
the exact shade of shine that you’ve for so long only dreamed of.
So don’t stop, move forward. Don’t lose yourself and keep
chasing that particular shade of yours!
