Our Lives = Fireworks????

Recently, I had been to the Singapore Fireworks Festival which is an annual event. There were a few fireworks shows held on different days and the fireworks was from various countries. The shows for this year last longer than previous years which was 15mins.

This event always attracts lots of crowds from all walks of life. Therefore, you can be expected to pack like a can of sardines being packed so tightly. During these 15mins, there were a lot of 'wows' among the crowd and lots of applauses.

After the 15mins, everybody dispersed and the place became quiet again. Then, this prompted one wondering ... ...

If you did a reflection of what you had seen during the past 15mins, then you realised that somehow or another, our lives seem similar to fireworks.

Why? Why?? Why???

In the show, you would get to see various types of fireworks - some shot up high, some shot up low, some are very colorful, some are only of one color, some exploded to full bloom, some only exploded to half bloom, etc.

This is similar like us. Some of us can achieve very high status in our lives, to be a well-known personality in our own field or in the public. Some of us want a simple life, a simple job and a simple family. Because of all these different goals that we have in our lives, the path we take are different too.

All of us have the same starting point but all of us end in different points. But all of us have the same similiarity and that is, our lives are short. Just like the fireworks that will disappeared in the sky within seconds and the sky become dark again.

The audience who are watching the fireworks would be like our friends, colleagues and relatives. They would be standing at one side watching our lives. If we achieve something that is admirable that they dont have, they would give you the 'wow' and applause, but when you are gone, they would be leaving too and continue their own path they lead.

So, dont waste your time and ask yourself what you want to achieve in your life - something ambitious or something simple? No matter what you want to achieve, make sure it be as bright as fireworks and be a part of the people's memory always!

Die without regrets and make sure that your life that you lead is the BEST!
