New Year is coming, and at best, I could only say this year is quite frenetic... I definitely need a more successful year ahead of me, and fast come the success, please...
The certainty of the future does not seems rosy to me at all, and I am thinking what good a kind heart is, if it gives no success or derive the love one really wants. Of cause, I know one has to be kind, and still remain kind regardless, but kindness alone may not give one the respect of driven people.
Many look to riches and generosity as a mean of honour and good will. Recently, a Buddhist friend of mine, Yi Wei, invited me to his condominium for a party of sports like table tennis, squash, soccer and swimming. I not only enjoyed the time, I further respected him and his father more, because firstly, they have wealth, while secondly, they know how to use their resource to give others joy. I am glad and in awe of this art of gentle kindness, and I think this is more true and substantial than love without money or money without love. I think Yi Wei's family won my heart to a certain extent. I am happy for the blessing and the learning, yet I knew too that my father had that virtue past wise, but without the luck as of yet.
To a converse of life, money is always better the more we have it, but its never meant just as a wine for us to shower ourselves in, but as a conviction that if blessed, the honour is to the responsibility of Earth. Thus by grace, our money can bring comfort, joy and hope to those in the destitude and doldrums for poverty to progress on for enrichment and life endearment. The idea is in the balance of morality and efficiency, so as to see to the merit that true love and wisdom is rationally ingratiated and emancipated.
I understand our family may be moving to a HDB 3/4 room flat next year. Though, in the care of my heart for a family, I wish one day to own a ample sized condominium unit with enough rooms for facilitation, and the rest of what I may be able to earn will definitely be placed to manage a charity of my choice. Time is of the essence, and I really need to do some good works of monetary value or contribution of financial gains to see myself to that dream. My father has been right by the practical care of the source, very much so to clear leeways and instill discipline of a compassionate net worth. We need the action to success, for who else will respect us if we do not grace the power in time to save and convenience those whom we really care about? Its obvious we need to succeed first, but the method to reach success is also an important factor... I fraught myself kindly unfazed, but to overcome difficulty with love, the dear moment onwards needs an enduring and buoyant fitness forth, to retribute gifts with gladness and trials with perserverence.
I hope the year 2010 will be good for all in the name of family. Not because of a distant goal will we lose sight of an immediate goal, so let us live day by day in good effort and perspective, and perhaps each progress up can be treasured with ascertain gratitude and assurable appraisal. Thank you.
