Small gestures make the world a better place.


I was on my way home after a long day. It not the best of days. This year seem pretty much depressing. Everyday, I go to school waiting for the last lesson to end. And every weekday, I wait for the weekends to arrive. Every school day, I await the next public holiday. I hope that the career I embark on in future, will give me something I can look forward to. Rather than dragging my feet like how I have to everyday.


And I was pretty much in a world of my own, caught up with my thoughts. And suddenly, this man stood up, tapped a young boy on his shoulder and gestured for the young boy to take his seat. That very moment, I regretted. Because I had not been sensitive to the needs of the people around me. I definitely had seen that young boy standing. But it never crossed my mind that he actually needed it more than I did. To me, it was embarrassing that a teenager like myself would actually not give up my seat, and instead a more frail looking uncle had to. And small gestures like this make a person's day.


It wad drizzling when I alighted and walked home from the LRT station. Not wanting to get overly wet, I decided to try to use my huge bag to cover my head. And the moment I did it, I felt so stupid. But alone there, I just smiled. Smiled at my stupidity. Smiled that despite becoming so sceptical about people and things. I still retain that wee bit of innocence. Maybe naiivity. But it was the first time I smiled today. With so many troubles around me. It was nice to be just cut off from everything as the raindrops fell.


I just hope for a better day.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
