The Poignancy of Life
May 11, 2010some people want to lead a simple life.
some want a rich and comfortable life.
others wish for a long and healthy life.
a few others, an exciting life.
i want to lead a poignant life;
that each moment mattered, however fleeting, for that moment, and on its own.
saw this quote somewhere: “the only thing you can be certain about in this otherwise uncertain world is that the past is unchangeable, the present will disappear in a moment but there will always be a tomorrow to be shaped as you wish.”
i think life is measured, if ever it can be measured, by its poignancy.
I like this part, “past is unchangeable, the present will disappear in a moment but there will always be a tomorrow to be shaped as you wish”
Lead the way you want your life to be…
ok… Maybe u could write a book? Autobiography of Elvin Ng!
Title : (Give it a name yourself?….) haha…=)
whatever that happened today, would be history.
the present soon will be the past tense.
there’s always something to look forward to tomorrow. you don’t know what you gonna get! =)
I think I also like this part : “the past is unchangeable, the present will disappear in a moment but there will always be a tomorrow to be shaped as you wish.”
I agree with you but somehow not so…….
Yes !! Past is past, present will be disappearing soon but not everybody has the opportunity to shaped tomorrow as they wish……
Some people might not have the strength, or power, or even $$$ to shape their future…..
Agree ?
past is past
present is present
but you can’t shape ur tomorrow like what u tink it will b today…
things change unexpectedly…
don’t they?
i wan a peaceful happy n meaningful life….. life is unpredictable anyway…
Meiling, i like that statement too. Looks like Elvin motivated me again! haahaa
After reading, i began to think, what is the sort of life im looking for…….
poignant? tot it sounds sad.
I hope to live a ‘full’ life where I can fulfill my little dreams and desires, with clear conscientiousness.
“the only thing you can be certain about in this otherwise uncertain world is that the past is unchangeable,the present will disappear in a moment but there will always be a tomorrow to be shaped as you wish”
We cant change the past,but we can plan the future because the pattern of your present thoughts is the stencil of your future.Choose the right path.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.
I want a simple,comfortable and healthy life.
I want to lead a simple,comfortable,long and healthy life=)
“It has all become part of life, whether it is a good or bad memory.” This is a quote i like!
For me, i want to lead a simple yet happy and healthy life! I think having good health is better than having lots of wealth, because good health is priceless! one cannot buy good health even if he/she is very wealthy!
So, cherish life! hahahah.
Stay happy and smile always! ;)
With lots of love,

There are leaps and bounds in life, no matter what you experience, be brave to face it, regardless of how difficult it is…
Think of the ones by your side, giving you support, tell you not to give up; for the sake of them, brave up yourself…
Life is yours. You are the one responsible to make it colourful, or black and white, or whatsoever… BE yourself and that’s all.
