'Ultimately, who we choose to remember or forget is defined by our present, who we are at present and where we want to be in the future. If that person has no place in your present or is irrelevant in your future you will forget that person.' guess what? this is not a statement by my Lit professor.. it is by my *surprise surprise* History prof hahahaha more accurately my SSA2211 lecturer.
but that is quite untrue actually because some of us do choose to remember the things or the person even though it/she/he has no place in our presents or no relevance in our futures. and i accrue that to the value of sentimentality that is very much ingrained in most of us. we choose not to forget because that particular incident/person has left an indelible mark in our lives, we choose not to forget because it is a pity not being able to be able to remember the many memories linked with that circumstance/person. isn't it?
different people have different opinions about this. some feel that forgetting is letting go and moving on in life as if that something or that someone had never appeared or existed; and that remembrance is just thick-skinned-persistant holding on which is often looked upon as irritating and tiresome. some think that forgetting is just running away and that remembrance is facing the music. some feel they cannot forget; some feel they can never remember.
i don't exactly know which side i'm on. i just have a whole bunch of questions that i think i may never get answered.
do we talk about 'the courage to forget'? or does 'the courage to remember' make more sense? what will happen if one day the memories i accummulated over the past 19 years of my life are completely erased? would i be a different person? how would i live my life?
why have we chosen to forget some? and remember others?
i can go on and on asking questions... hahaha
oh man.. no wonder im no good at making good arguments or writing good argumentative essays cos i can't make up my mind:\
when has webcasting history modules become so interesting (at least to me)? haha:p i guess it's true when you say i should look beyond the boring exterior of things.
when all seem dark and gloommyyy... i see the light coming from yoouuuu [all of you]((:
specially chosen, packed, packaged and sealed with love:) the cg love pack is simply (:
today, after two not so good papers for me (one on saturday, one today morning), the final blow was dealt by the grade i rcved from my american comedy paper. i admit, it's entirely my fault cos i didnt start early on it and just practically rushed through it... while people took weeks to think and write the paper, i took just two days and the results really showed:\ yes i was dejected and really upset and i felt like giving lit being my minor a miss. thank you nad for being such a darling, giving me advice on writing arguments. i think it really made sense to me now why my paper's so messed up.. hahahha thank you babe! really appreciate it! =D
The next thing that made me smile real BIG is when i took out the cg love pack. i was rejuvenated again! hehe:p picturing my beloved cg mates buying and packing all these lovely things and packaging it so nicely into a brown parcel bag just for me, i feel so loved, so encouraged and so eager to do better for the rest of my papers! thank you Jesus for my lovely cg friends:)) hahhaa the parcel even included sleeping slippers (i dunno what they are called so i just made up a name)!!! =D so thoughtful!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUU my beloved CG(:
[/edit] n thank you for hearing me out(: although i was practically complaining my lungs out.. hahahhaa:p
"Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom, Ruby Lloyd Wilson, was one of those people," says Kemmons Wilson, founder of the Holiday Inn hotel chain.
"Most people called her Doll. My father died when I was nine months old, making her a single mother and a widow at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up, there were times when we had so little money that we had to live on a few pounds of dried butter beans for a week at a time. While food was scarce, my mother's love and devotion were abundant. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, 'Kemmons, you are destined for greatness and you can do anything in life if you're willing to work hard enough to get it.'
"At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. My mother took a leave of absence from her job at a meat-packing plant and moved into my hospital room to care for me. Every day, she spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, reassuring me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school -- walking on my own.
"When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job like millions of others. I was seventeen, and against Doll's wishes, I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, it became my mission in life to succeed for my mother's sake, and I vowed never to be poor again.
"Over the years, I experienced varying levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was frustrated at the second-rate accommodations available for families and was furious that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family, and I was determined to offer them an alternative. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel for families with a brand name people could trust that never charged extra for children. I figured about 400 nationwide motels would be the right number so that each one would be within a day's drive of about 150 miles.There were plenty of doubters who predicted failure because there wasn't anything remotely similar to this concept at that time.
"Not surprisingly, Doll was one of my strongest supporters and among the first to pitch in. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room decor for the first hundred hotels. As in any business, we experienced enormous challenges. For years, we paid our employees Christmas bonuses with promissory notes because cash was so short. But with my mother's words deeply embedded in my soul, I never doubted we would prevail. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world, with one of the most recognizable names in the business.
"You may not have started out life in the best of circumstances. But if you can find a mission in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you from achieving success."
Kemmons Wilson founded the first Holiday Inn in 1951 and built it into the largest hotel chain in the world. When he retired in 1979, the company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with annual revenues of $1 billion. Cynthia Kersey Excerpted from Cynthia Kersey's, Unstoppable. www.unstoppable.net

This used to be my favourite band during my sec sch days.. hehe n they are still not too bad now.. just that Pierre got alot fatter )))): ahaha anw not my crush anymore so... Dedicating this song to all the emo momos mamas out there! MOVE ON.. life won't wait!!!
The lyrics to this song has quite an impact me... and this was why i really like their songs alot because they have simple (cos they are simple plan haha ok not funny) lyrics that teens understand and can identify to.. but at the same time their songs have depth (okay chill, all those who hate simple plan).. just this song alone i was inspired to think that life is about living a legacy and not just bumming around aimlessly.. this song to me is also about moving on because life won't wait even if i'm all sad and suffering in my little emo world..
their songs tho thought by others to be crap, naive, senseless, shallow etc. actually make a lot of sense to me (and i know, to alot of their other adoring fans too), to inspire me to take action and stop procrastinating. it's all up to me~ When I'm Gone I look around me But all I seem to see Is people going nowhere Expecting sympathy It's like we're going through the motions Of the scripted destiny Tell me where's our inspiration If life wont wait I guess it's up to me(how true o.O)
Whoahh No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town Whoahh We wont come back, the world its calling out Whoahh Leave the past in the past gonna find the future (yea as if it's THAT easy:\) And misery loves company(haha true again) Well so long You'll miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Procrastination running circles in my head (WOW! totally me haha) While you sit there contemplating you'll wind up left for dead (left for dead) (shit..) Life is what happens While you're busy making your excuses (yea life don't stop while i give excuses:\) Another day, another casualty (and that casualty can only be me) But that won't happen to me
Whoahh No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town Whoahh We wont come back, the world its calling out Whoahh Leave the past in the past gonna find the future And misery loves company Well so long You'll miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone When I'm gone
(i love this part.. lifts my spirit up up up and away! hahahaha) Let's go...! Won't look back When I say goodbye We're gonna leave this world behind me Gonna take what's mine tonight 'cause every wasted day Becomes a wasted chance You're gonna wake up feeling sorry (i don't want that to happen to me) 'cause life won't wait I guess it's up to you(up to me)
Whoahh No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town Whoahh We wont come back, the world its calling out Whoahh Leave the past in the past gonna find the future And misery loves company Well so long You'll miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
haha.. this is totally random cos i needed a break from reading about stupid media shit... oops=X yea just the truth.. haha.. back to smeelllllinnnngggg those notes:(((((((((((
