Inspiration


The Inaugural Annual ASEAN Youth Forum 2008. What a strange place and circumstance to recieve inspirational quotes?


"It's amazing how much you can achieve when it doesn't matter who gets the results." - And how true this statement is. Why, it was only on the 25th of March when I found out for myself the truth of this statement, and how good it felt to see half the cohort pleasantly surprised by the anonymous sweet-giver.


"Service providers are the ones who hold your hand, and in so doing, touch your heart." - My constant endeavour. And now, I actually have a name for it. So it'll be like:
"So, Matthew, what do you think is your purpose in life?"
"Me? I want to be a service provider, to hold hands, to touch hearts."
Don't interpret this wrongly, guys...


"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together makes progress. Working together creates success." - Wouldn't it be so meaningful to a scholar who's been thrown in together with a millieu of creeds, philiosophies, convictions and origins?


"Would you rather have a brilliant collection of minds, or a collection of brilliant minds?" - I can't help but feel that the MOE was looking for the second one. But with slackers like me and me roomie around, among others, the scholars might just be the first one. Yeah, guys, I know it's my fault...

"Courage is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour." - True indeed. It takes courage and honour to admit that you are incompetent, untalented or unwanted, or at least more so than others. Not being emo here, just saying we should never be in denial, but rather strive to be fully aware of our own capabilities, potential, but also shortcomings.


"Work, as if you don't need money.
Love, as if nobody can, will or has hurt you.
Dance, as if nobody was watching.
Sing, as if nobody was listening.
Live, as if it was paradise."

Meaningful indeed, but I have my own version, which kind of makes up my life philosophy.

I work, because I don't need money to enjoy work.
I love, despite the fact that people can, will or have hurt me, because God loved an idiotic sinner like me.
I dance, especially because people are watching.
I sing, especially because people are listening.
I live, because life is paradise.
