Learn To Let Go

人的一生，沿途有太多的美景与诱惑，也有太多的沉重和负担，只有懂得放弃，才能实现自己的目标，才能有所得。

有这么两个人，他们一同去参观动物园。动物园非常大，他们的时间有限，不可能把所有的动物都参观到。

于是他们便约定，不走回头路，每到一处路口，选择其中一个方向前进。
第一个路口出现时，路标上标明一侧通往狮子园，一侧通往老虎山。他们琢磨了一下，

选择了狮子园，因为狮子是“草原之王”。就这样，他们一边走，一边选择。每选择一次，就放弃一次，遗憾一次。

但他们必须当机立断，若犹豫不决，时间不等人，他们失去的将更多。只有迅速作出选择，才能减少遗憾，得到更多的收获。

适当的放弃是为更多的收获做准备，放弃并不意味着完全的失去，只是让我们学会取舍的分寸。

放弃是为了减少遗憾，是为了得到更多，更宝贵的东西。我们要学会正面对看待放弃，放弃并不意味着软弱，失败，它只是另一条引领你走向成功的途径。

放弃过去一切的不愉快，重新开始新的一天，重新面对自己的人生，让自己的人生永远充满着新鲜感。

朋友们，让我们一起开始学会放弃。因为你会发现，只有学会放弃，才能拥有更多，才能实现自己的理想，才能享受美丽的人生。

Waiting Is A Kind Of Pain

在这个繁华的社会里，人们往往忽略了时间的重要性。时间一分一秒地过去，失去了就再也找不回来。
　
新加坡人有一种等的习惯，而我，却认为等待是一种痛苦。为什么呢？等待是一种浪费时间的行为。偶尔感到疲惫，想要找个朋友出去走走，到了目的地，等了两三个钟头，才知道被放鸽子。那时候在等的我，很痛苦，巴不得朋友快点出现。
　　
考试时，当你把试卷交给老师后，你又会巴不得老师立刻把试卷改好，知道自己的成绩。尤其是在小六离校会考或是中四‘O’水准考试时，更是坐立不安。
　　
谈到儿女私情，等待又是一种痛苦。当你爱上一个人时，你会为他做出一些不可理喻的事。这其实也是一种等待。怎么说呢？你暗恋他时，你会不想让他知道， 是因为怕他不理你？还是怕他故意躲着你？在这同时，你又想马上让他知道他在你心里是多么重要的。在等待他向你表白的过程中，你就必须承受等待的痛苦。
　　
所以，做什么事情，都应该速战速决，不要让任何人等待、期盼，因为等待是痛苦的

I Wanna Tell Her

7th grade

I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called "best friend".
I stared at her long, silky hair,

and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that,
I knew it.

After class she
walked up to me
and asked
me for the notes she had missed the day
before and handed them
to her.
She said "thanks"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.


I want to tell her,
I want her to know that
I don`t want to
Be just friends, I love her but
I`m just too shy,
and I don`t know
why...


11th Grade

The phone rang. on
the other end
it was her.
She was in tears,
mumbling on and on
about how her love had broke her heart.

She asked me to come over
because she didn't
want to be alone,
so I did.
As I sat
next to her on
the sofa, I stared at
her soft eyes,
wishing she was mine.

after 2 hours,
a drew barrymore movie,
& 3 bags of chips,
she decided to go to sleep.
She looked at me,
said "thanks"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.


I wanna tell her,
I want her to know that

friends,
I love her but
I'm just too shy, and i dont know wHy


Senior Year

The day before prom she walked to my locker.
"My date is Sick" she said;
he`s not qonna go.
well I didn't have a date and in 7th grade
we made a promise
that if neither of us had dates
we would go together just as
"best friends".
So we did.


Prom night

After everything was over I was standing
at her front,door step.
I stared at her, She smiled at me

I want her to be mine,

and I know it.

then she said
"I Had the best time thanks!"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

and I don't kNow why


Graduation Day

a day passed, then a week, then a month.
before I could blink, it was graduation day.
I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel
up on stage to get her diploma.

I wanted her to be mine,
but she didn't notice me like that,
and I knew it.

Before
everyone went home,
she came to me in
her smock and hat,
and
cried as I hugged her.
then she lifted
her
head from my shoulder and said,
"you`re my best friend, thanks!"
and gave me a kiss on the Cheek.


I want to tell her,
I want her to know that
I don`t want to
be just friends,
I love her but I`m just too shy,
and I don`t know why


A Few Years Later
now I sit in the pews of the church.
that girl is getting married now.
I watched her say
"i do"
and drive off to her new life, married to another man.

I wanted her to be mine,
but she didn't`t see me like that
and I knew it.

But before she drove away,
she came to me n said
"you came!" She said. "thanks!"
and kissed me on the cheek.


I want to tell her,
I want her to know
that i don't want to
be just friends,
I love her but I`m just too shy,
and i don`t know why


Years passed,
I looked down at the coffin of a girl
who used to be my "best friend".
at the service they read a diary entry
she had wrote in her high school years.

This is what it read:
I stare at him wishing
he was mine,
but he doesn't`t notice me like that,
and I know it.


i want to tell him,
i want him to know
that I don`t want to
be just friends,
I love him but I'm just too shy,
and I don`t know why.


I wish
he would tell me he loved me...
I wish
I did too.
I thought to myself, and I cried
