Wow, the year 2012 finally ended and we (I included)
celebrated as if 2012 were a great enemy slain. Well, whether we liked it or
not, it was a year with great and sad moments. We all learnt some great lessons
in the year but these 5 stood out for me:
Seek ye first God
Well, we all know this scripture that says “Seek ye first
the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added
unto you.” In the year 2012, I did the vice versa, most of the time, seeking “all
these things” first then coming back to seek God after the others have failed. This
I learnt painfully but now towards the end, I realized that I had been doing it
all wrong so, in the words of king James, I urge thee, seek ye first the kingdom
of thy Lord, and all these things thou shalt be added...all.
Appreciate people.
2012 was the year I lost many of my close friends to the
grim ripper(does he even exist, anyway) and it left me somehow shaken. So I learnt
to appreciate people, whether real life best friends (hi Joe and Vivian), online
best friends (hehehe Grace), big sisters (Brenda and Karain), sisters (Daisy),
readers of this blog, my mentors, acquaintances, classmates and above all, my family.
I love you all; you make me who I am. You never know when the grim ripper shall
strike…
Appreciate criticism
Well, don’t we all get mad when that person walks up to you
and says you did not do something right, or this thing that you have been
working on for days or even months was not well done; well this is
what I learnt in the year…positive criticism is good. It is what keeps me
going. And time has taught me to appreciate and accept when I go wrong. Negative
criticism…these are people who keep saying negative things just to let you down
and discourage you. Well IGNORE THESE!!
Let the Fun be
2012 is the yeah I attended most weddings in my life and
most well baby-holding occasions and most parties! If there is one thing I really
enjoy, is HAVING FUN!! And I will look for any opportunity to have fun…and boy
did I have fun! If there is one thing I can never get tired of doing is having
fun! And I have to thank my crazy friends for accompanying me each time and
having fun with me. Looking forward to more fun and crazy moments in 2013!
Finally
This list could not be complete without one useless or
non-useful things I learnt. Scientists say that you have to CHEW BEEF 84 times
before swallowing! Yeah I know, its absurd!…why would I do that? I chew beef at most 6 times…actually,
I never even count! Would I eat or count?! Tsk! Now these scientists are too much!!
But anyway, now I know. I shall never order beef when I go out on a date! Who wants
to spend the whole date concentrating on counting the number of times you chew
your food while you have a great date with you?!
Well, I am eagerly waiting for what 2013 has in store for
me!! Whatever comes my way, I will enjoy 2013!! Hope you will too.
Thanks again
for your support!
