“Five Minutes”

June 11, 2010

“Five minutes ago, you were on the bridge looking down.”

“Now, five minutes later, you are under the bridge looking up.”

Such a drastic change of perspective in such a short time.

Where you once were and then saw is now where you are and now see.

What does it say about your position?

What does it say about “five minutes”?

How many positions do you have to take up in your lifetime?

How many “five minutes” in a lifetime?

    Wow, I agree. Time passes in the blink of an eye. Just when you are enjoying yourself, it seems to be over in a second.

    人类是嬗变的!

    5mins passes in a blink, but within the 5mins alot of things can happened. and many things can be changed.

    no matter its good or bad, we just have to live with it and move on in life!

    Bon voyage and seeya around back soon! =)

    Everyone have different perspectives! it’s just the matter of how you look at it~ (:
    5 minutes sounds short, but within the 5 minutes it can happen a lot of things! That’s life!
    Smile always! See you soon! ;D
    With lots of love,
    Yuting.

    Thank you for this timely reminder that 5 minutes may mean a change of perspective, a life saved, a winning moment, extra time etc…. to some, 5 minutes are just simply idled away or used as rest time or a long wait. to others, it means to save a life …or to save a relationship.
    We do not have many 5 minutes in our lives. I am sure if Elvin gives 5 minutes to each of us, our lives will beam in joy …haha

    Time is just something that we assign. You know, past, present, it’s just all arbitrary. Being in different position in life, allow you to see life in different perspective. Allowing you to understand life in different perspective.

    There are 12 ’5 minutes’ in 1 hour. In 1 hour, we can do many things. We won’t know what will happen in the next 5 minutes. Cherish now.

    When you start to count every “5 mins” in life, you’ll find yourself back at square one. You’d rather skip all and draw your verdict on the last “5 mins”.

    However when you are retrospectively positive and start to make every “5 mins” counts, it brings us to another level from where we were.

    Anything can happen within the 5 minutes.
    Be it good or bad.
    What you see now might changed within the next 5 minutes.
    Just continue your journey and look out for the next 5 minutes…

    说短不段,说长不长。

    5min ago, might be doing something different from current 5min.
    5min later, might be @ a different spot from 5min ago.

    5mins actually matters a lot. =)

    无论是什么时候的5min,
    我们都应该要好好珍惜。

    it doesnt matter how long or how short the time is, its the process that matters.

    5 minutes is not long nor too short.
    Sometimes something will change within this 5 minutes.

    But for love,no matter 5 minutes or how many minutes,if i like someone,it will be forever.

    Treasure every 5 minutes because that 5 minutes might be very important.Live life with no regrets.

    Sound really like what I am doing.. 12 hours before, I could still do anything and everything on my own or want and 12 hours after.. nothing can be done bcoz nothing that I know or understand at all.
    LIFE STARTS FROM ZERO.

    Till now I look back where I just came.. I feel I gain alot.
    To look ahead, it is actually just the start.
    And yes you are right.. looking back and forward.. tells where you really are.

    =)

    actually sometimes having this “5 mins” senario is kinda lucky.. i think taking different postions, feeling different is actually good.. im sure some pple are always stuck on the bridge looking down or always under looking up..stuck in the mud… hahahhaa

    hope ur position will always be the best

    Cheers,
    Ivy

    No matter where your position or how many “five minutes” there is, will always be there to support in whatever things you do as long as it meant good for you & you are happy =P
