命中注定

Sunday 18 January 2009



你相信命中注定吗? 我相信。


所有在我们周围发生的点点滴滴和遇见的人,都已在我们出生之前被决定了。


但是有时候我不甘心,也不放弃,为我身边的人努力,加油,要找到属于我自己的天空。


你呢?


Alright, a weak attempt at trying my hand at Chinese. With help from Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 and http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt, i managed to type that out in slightly less than an hour :)


A while ago, i came across an article about rainbows and someone once asked me what do i want at the end of my rainbow.


Have you ever wonder what is really at the end of your rainbow? I was told, in fairy tales, that there will be a pot of gold at the end of the colorful walk. Is it really so? I don't know, i will never know until i'm there, isn't it? Will the rainbow i created have a pot of gold too?


No, not really a pot of gold. Rather i want it to be something that surpasses all my earthly wants. Or someone.


Yes, someone. I want to find someone at the end of my rainbow. A grown man. A responsible man with the heavy world on his broad shoulder, supporting it with a steady gaze, holding it up with a pair of strong hands. He may be tired from holding it too long but he will never back down, never give up and with his proud face looking up at the world on his shoulder, he will continue. He may tear, for that is human nature, not a sign of weakness. He may get temptations, he may make mistakes but to err is again, just human but he will soon learn the difference between good and evil. He may get discouraged, disheartened, but he will see himself through. He may experience setbacks but setbacks are like slingshots, once he learnt how to use it to his favour, he will overturn the table. He may get badly beaten, badly crushed but he will learn to pick himself up, bearing the scars of his downfall and face the world with even more determination.


Before the last light on my fading rainbow goes out, i want to see a responsible grown up Shane.


That will be my ultimate pot of gold.
