Here is some photo that really meaningful and amazing me. It were taken by photographer Tom Hussey. No matter your age, race, beliefs or occupation. The Reflection photos illustrate just how much we change in our lives and how it seems to happen all at once, no matter how many years actually go by. These will really grip your soul. “It’s a universal condition — at some point in your life, you look in the mirror and say, ‘Wait a minute, how did I get this old?’” said Tom.
“When you look in the mirror every day, you recognize yourself, but when you go back and look at a photo of yourself 20 years ago you say, ‘Wow, I really have changed.’”
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
― Melody Beattie
Self- reflection is the careful thoughts about your own behavior and beliefs.
Take time to appreciate every day, because these years will be gone before you know it.
"I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought." -Arthur Blank
"Miracle is not about when it happened, Miracle is about you taking the first step to make it happen." I have came that far and I'm almost there !
Age is just but a number. Uncle, salute you. The spirit of a fighter, never say never and the will to do.
"Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living. If you're not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you're not demanding more from yourself -- expanding and learning as you go - you're choosing a numb existence. You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip."
- Dean Karnazes

"Like the marathon, life can sometimes be difficult, challenging and present obstacles, however if you believe in your dreams and never ever give up, things will turn out for the best." -Meb Keflezighi, U.S. Olympic marathoner
Things doesn't work out the way you'd like. When you don't give up, you cannot fail. Every people are the same. They do not have superpower, special ability, they are human. You can decide what to do in each day. You thought that there is the end of the road, who knows there is a small path which bring you to a new world. People can do it, why don't we? Action speak louder than words. Make your dream come true. You are not alone. All world are moving to the destination.
"Life (and running) is not all about time but about our experiences along the way." No matter how is the result, at least you finish it. You gain something new, you try your best and you MAKE it. Complete the race with our heart.

Last Sunday, we meet with our junior who just come in this September.
Yong Vui Kong, a Sabahan, was 18 years and 6 months old when he was arrested for trafficking 47 grams of heroin into Singapore. He was sentenced to mandatory death in January 2009. He had exhausted his appeals by August this year and he'll be hang next month! And he can only escape execution if the Singapore President grants clemency. Yong faces injustice in Singapore when the Law Minister made an open remark that jeopardizes his Clemency. Yong had repent and enlightened by the Buddhism teaching and hopes his death sentence can be changed to life sentence to preach the don't-do-drug message in prison.
杨伟光，第一次懂他时是几年前的事情了。那时他的家人发起了Save Vui Kong Campaign。曾经我想过，新加坡政府会不会为了一棵树而放弃整片森林。如果新加坡政府免了一个毒贩的死罪，那接下来将会有许多毒贩用同样的方法逃死罪。毒品的问题越来越严重。有需求才会有买卖。从杨伟光身上我看到了他的悔改。他写的《最后的12章》书信。劝请世人远离毒海，珍惜生命。一个愿意改过自新的人我们应不应该给他们第二次活的机会。常常人们因为一时的贪念而犯下滔天大罪。珍惜那得来不易的生命活出属于自己最完美的故事。生命常常不能重来，不能take two。作对的决定让自己不后悔。如果他真的可以逃过死刑，希望他好好珍惜这第2次的生命，帮助更多吸毒的人。
