最近在Chee Khoon Blog讀 到一封轉寄郵件，內容是關於臨危病人對人生的五大遺憾。我讀了非常有共鳴，所以希望與大家分享。
其實這是一位照料垂危病人的護士從許多病人的遺言中所整理出來的一則文章 CheeKhoon 把這一則文章的一些摘要列出來。
一：一生只活在別人的期望下，沒有活出自己。
二：用盡一生的時間換取金錢，而忽略了兒女的成長過程。
三：沒有發表自己的主見。即使事與願違，也只選擇忍氣吞聲。
四：沒有花足夠的時間與好朋友聯繫。
五：沒發現快樂其實是一種選擇，而沒有選擇快樂地生活。
總概來說，人都會為一些沒有做的事情而遺憾，但都不會為一些失敗的事情留下遺憾。所以，我們都應該去做那些想做卻還沒做的事情，以免為人生留下遺憾

Day +989 : Wisdom
The wise person tends to include people of different ages in their celebrations because that represents the authentic make-up of extended families. It is a great gift o have our parents, grandparents with us to mark significant events in our live.
At age 66, my father finally get the citizenship. He will do his first blue color identity card end of July.
Many find the time to attend funeral but fail to realise that a rose for the living is better than a banquet for the dead. It takes wisdom to waste time with our loved ones while they are still with us.

Day +988 : Nerves
Today, I am fine.
Have some articles to share with.
While animals focus on present, only humans sit and worry about what will happen three years from now if I do that or this.
Worry is something we can't help doing. It is part of our nature as a species that thinks and rationalises. Most of us living in the city probably walk around in a state of perpetual nervousness. There are KPI and deadliness to meet, mortgages and bills to pay , the family's security, job security.... the list could go on. Even taking a a vacation can be nerve wracking because halfway through you are wandering if your boss has caught on that you're not quite indispensable.
Henrik Edberg, creator of the Positivity Blog and author of Art of Relaxed Productivity, suggests asking yourself What is the worst that could happen ? How will it affect you in the long run ? In many cases you will find that the answer boils down to "no really that much". It is easy to get too wrapped up in what is about to happen and magnify the event and possible consequences in your mind until it seems like it's a matter of life and death. It seldom is. Asking a few sample questions can put things into a healthier perspective and calm you down.
Just remember, you're your own worst enemy.
