air of vulnerability
August 28, 2012life’s fragile;
it could change in a moment.
and so we learn to embrace two things:
one, to embrace now,
two, to embrace change,
not so sure which is harder to do actually,
definitely easier said than done.
when there are many questions and seemingly little answers,
or maybe just temporarily kept from you;
when one foot is put in front of the other;
in times of adversity;
what do we really want or need?
health, safety, inner peace, positive feeling, and your loved ones around you.
gain greater clarity of what’s important and dear to you.
maybe it’s not so easy or not so hard to see.
an air of vulnerability
could break you but holds you together
could weaken you but empowers you
could sweep you off your feet but keeps you grounded
makes you treasure, fight, breathe, live,
try.
hello elvin!!
Thanks Elvin.
Feeling just like that…
More than words…
Life’s fragile, so live well, love much, laugh often! :) xoxo
Things that are important and things that you want may not co-exist together at times. There are some things that you will have to let go when the time is right…
Be with the right one and you will have an amazing life.
Yes, totally agree with you! Life’s hard, life’s fragile. The most important thing is to be happy and contented, enjoy the present. For what it may come, stay strong to all odds! :D
hello Elvin,
You are so good looking.
Hi I love your thoughts =)
And your acting in don’t stop believing
Hehe so handsome, all the way =) xoxo
In times of adversity, good friends and God are the most important people you should have around you.
Since you have sign contract already, you should do your best and finished your obligations.
Singapore’s media is not fantastically great but there is no choice it seems for you. Just continue to focus and do your best in your assignment. It carries credit to your work and continuing popularity.
I have given a very good plan to S’pore but somehow the user mess it up by over-implementing many things beyond normal range. No more ideas and plans will come from me.
I am unhappy as the media in S’pore is over-regulated to the public and under-regulated to outsiders and the only media player in S’pore.
This unhappiness has often resulted to the point that I refused to put the imprint ‘Made in Singapore’. The whole system is sick in this island. You have your own vulnerabilites and I have my own frustrations as well.
I would really like my film works to carry ‘Made in Australia’, or Made in Taiwan because the attitudes in these countries are different.
Even what I write now in your blog is going to be regulated. That’s why I seldom write in your blog these days.
very meaningful:) Keep on moving & fighting bah! :) Enjoy now yet look forward to the future! Believe you will do well, be it work or individual life:)
(anw, nice acting, great to see your on tv:D)
Life is unpredictable.. What you were saying is true, definetly agree.. The words that u said are meaningful and really makes people realise on something important. You are really matured, in a good way :D Whatever happens in life, I hope you always give your best and work hard! thanks for the article ^^
Just would like to share with a short film that I am thinking of making if my sponsors and advertisers are supportive of it. It is called ‘ONE LIFE’ or ‘ONE LIFE TO LIVE’. It depends on the script and it is in Mandarin.
This is a real story of motor-bike rider who destroy his only one life but luckily he did not die. He survived the ordeal but had to pay a high price. Of course, the rest of the story is fiction.
This film hopefully will be put up in Taiwan Film Festival, Shanghai Fil festival if there’s one next year. It will also be screened in many public outlets and churches. It is not a Christian show but a secular one.
I cannot have you as my lead actor because of your contracts with MDC. I am thinking of using Nat Ho which requires several scenes to be on the bike.
Keep up the faith and hope one day, you can be on the big movie screen with a good script. Script is the most important thing in any show, a lousy script is worthless but people will still watch because of the actor or actress they like. It will not carry box-office but perhaps can cover cost.
I feel.
It’s so difficult.
I wish I didn’t.
Life not only fragile but also indecisive. Many choices to make. Which one is good ? Which one lead to success ? So many questions and answers in our mind. Often we will say “I should do that if I know this will happen”. We can’t predict future but at least if we have chosen the wrong route, we should know how to divert back. Don’t stay on the same spot and start blaming ourselves. Move on is the right attitude.
That’s true- life is fragile. And often enough we face many challenges which life throws at us. But through these challenges we gain experiences and become stronger people ourselves. (:
hi Elvin,
keep writing =) it sets people thinking & intrigue minds..
In Life, we r forever learning, learning to embrace, learning to adapt and also, learning more about ourselves, who we are..
Life is fragile is because it is precious. So let’s treasure what you have. Do not live with “what if”. A wise man gave me 6 chinese characters last dec to describe a meaning life. They are “kind-hearted, responsibility, and optimistic”. The last one is the most difficult to be achieved. But I will keep trying it as afterall life is beautiful :)
three, be yourself
We can’t change things but we can change how we feel about it :) It’s sad that I could only see your smile on tv and not in your blog anymore:( Cheer up Elvin!
Dear Elvin,
Your words really make me tear. It’s very easy to say words of encouragement and since that’s the only thing I can do- be strong. Every word of yours makes me think. Thinking about the future, without living the present, can make you depressed and sometimes you’d wonder if it’s worth it. But the human mind functions that way. When you have excessive affection and are an emotional person, i guess its natural. How nice if we could all live for the day. Its easier said than done. I think to say move on is something impossible. It’s a part of you, and no matter what you do you will always remember. Just know that he’s always there for you, and so is God regardless of whatever race or religion. You’re a great human being and I hope that the infectious smile of yours that you spread to all your viewers stays in your life always. Love and affection is the best thing in life. You’ve got loads of people always there for you :)
Agree, we will never know what’s installed for us in the near future. Cancer and stuffs, let’s not think about it, and live life with a positive mindset.
aw.. so nice.. lol.. just in time for the need to read this. thanks. =) well written!
i guess.. being healthy is the up most important.
as long as you live.. lights always shines..
then as what you said.. makes us treasure, fight, breathe, live, try. i believe, big waves lets us enjoy over coming and smaller waves. ;)
believe in yourself:)
加油 :)
