Million-Dollar Prize
January 21, 2009Q: “If you had a million dollars waiting for you at the finishing line, how fast would you run?”
A: “I’ll take my time… It’s waiting for me anyway.”
What is Yours… will eventually be Yours. Belief in yourself. Faith in what you do. Maybe not the million-dollar prize. But you’ll get to the finishing line.
Yup!
That’s what i always think. No point rushing or fighting for this and that. Cos if it is yours, it will be in your hand one day. If it is not meant to be yours, no point forcing your way as you might be the person who get hurt in the end…
Very inspiring entry :)
I’ll take my time too~
What for rush when its gonna be yours in e end! :)
GOOD to Believe in oneself that we will make it to the finishing line someday if we persevere….but be prepared that someone else may get there before us cos they either run faster (put in more effort) or use unorthodox means…
my point is that we shld never be ‘complacent’ …cos, resting on our laurels can backfire ….cos others may just catch up if we lax.
Yup, i totally agree with you. Whats yours will always be yours. However, if that thing/person isn’t meant for you whatever you do, also will be in vain. I think most importantly is that you know how to be content
Yes i will take my time too cos eventually will be mine
But what if ppl are faster than me?
In life there are many things we cant win but most important is tt all along u believe n hav faith in yrself
n even if u r the last to get to the finishing line its shows tt u persevere till the end n nv give up
Do not live yr life in regrets :-)
i agree. if its yours,then it will be yours;if that is not yours, no matter how fast you are…..it wont be yours too… i think the love triangle in the dramas are the good example…
haha.. ya is ture that the million dollar wont run.. but does it include the the runner is only you?
to say if things are yours it will be yours.. unless fate says so. and fate are not for us to know. or else i dont see why things will be waiting for you. everything comes by effort and ways to achieve it.
i think if what u say happen to me.. 1st thing will be to see what i have in hand to stop others. then build my way there.
Maybe it can help me run faster in the Standard Sports…haha
I always the last one to reach the finishing line.
But hey you are really a literature graduate. This post is soooooo inspiring. I am studying literature too, but it is in Malay.
However, they are the same, right? Haha.
I strongly agree with ur statement. Y rush & compete with others if that prize is meant 2b urs. In life, we never know what would happen next or why such situation is actually happening to us..right? Only God knows. for I believe everything in life happens for a reason. . Well take the story bout a race between a hare n the tortoise .. Who won the race? Logically it should be the hare but it wasnt.
In life, no matter how rough or smooth the path 4 u 2 walk may be…Be strong n walk it thru. At the end of the day when u finish the journey or perhaps won a battle which was filled with many obstacles… U’ll really feel the joy inside ur heart.
To me its not the quantity bt the quality which Ive found in myself upon reaching the finishing point..
$ cant buy everything… especially each n every value,experience that we have gone through.
I totally agree with what u blog about..
It was meaningful.
I will remember this useful phrase. =p
You must think of it whenever you felt like giving up! Jiayou! =)
Hi
I dont quite agree for us to take our time to reach our goal (eg. 1million dollar) . We should move towards our goal because we should fight for it and shouldn’t wait for miracle to happen or wait for the money to drop right infront of us. We should be more 积极 and not take our time slowly because our life is short and we should make full use of it so that we will have a more meaningful life instead of living for the sake of living. Even the money is not going to be yours , you should make the effort or try to make it yours that is how we humans will improve ourselves. Imagine if thomas edison never ever invent the LIGHTBULB, then now we will live in the dark. Plus if we fight for what we want then when we really get it then we got SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT!!
