Taking Leave

Heard in the news that the annual Subaru Challenge has just started and more than 400 participants this year, some of which are past participants...They said that they are trying to break their previous reports and test their endurance probably. And I am sure they have applied for leave to recover next week. And I know for sure, there probably aren't teachers or school staff in the midst cos we are not allowed to take leave during term time. See, these are restrictions of our jobs. Haha.

Book 1

I am reading this book by Pat Williams and Karyn Williams - THE TAKEAWAY : 20 Unforgettable Lessons Every Father should Pass on to his Child. Thou some of the lessons do not resonate with me as there is mention of faith but most of the lessons do .... Here they are
1. Wear Your Seat Belt 2. Enjoy Your Life 3. Be Good to People 4. Take Care of your Body
5. Exercise Your mind 6. Date to Live Big 7. There are no Giants out there 8. The World will take care of the Jerks 9. Make good decisions 10, Choose your friends wisely 11. Does he/she make you a better person? 12. Be the man/woman you want to be!
Thou it may seem late that I learnt them now...I hope it is not too late to pursue some myself in this lifetime.

Fire

Most of us were told by my parents or some adults not to play with fire.
But as one gets older, we know that if we don't (take the risk), we probably will remain being what we do. Is it how we want to live our life?
Am I ready to 'play with fire'?
