Childhood & Dreams
Monday, November 20, 2006
Do you still remember those times when you were in primary school?
You had this little book passing around the class.
You are armed with not any ordinary kind of normal pens. Those pens you had were special.
Those pens had inks that look metallic and shine under light.
Those books were called " Autograph Books. "
I'm not sure if at that point of time, you had those kind of books passing around and writing in them. But in mine, it was very popular. However, I'm not the owner of one, I help other people write theirs.
Still remember those stuff that you wrote?
- Your particulars eg. ( name, address, telephone number)
- Stuff about yourself ( your fav. food, drink, games )
- The friendship corner ( you write down names of your friends, grading them according to bronze, silver and gold. Mine was based one that. Some of them were good, close then best. )
- Ending off ( you end off everything with a poem or a short paragraph about the owner.
Still remember?
Just for your info, these pictures are taken from my sister's own Autograph Book. She owns quite a few and I'm surprised that the trend of writing the autograph books are still going on. Even after our generation. I don't know when this started, but the person who thought of it really made an impact on the primary school kids.
Dreams, what do you see your dreams as?
Something that it's just an imagination and then you know it's not going to happen, you rubbish the dream away?
I'm not talking about those materialistic dreams where you dream to be the richest person in the world. Ever heard of this? The world's most frustrating thing in the world : One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting it. Being rich might be good, but if you do not use it righteously, it can cause your downfall.
What I'm talking about is dreams, dreams of becoming the world's best guitarist, becoming the world's best pianist, becoming a HISTORY MAKER.
Keep those dreams alive my friend, keep it alive.
And when you dream, dream big!
I'm so inspired by Pastor How after he has preached the sermon. Spiritual sight-seeing, I can how the church is going to be like in a few years time. I can see what Pastor sees, the glass in the church. It will be the best church you will ever see in Singapore.
If I say batteries, what would you think of?
A simple one that can last you only a day or so?
Or a very good one that can last you for a long time?
It is basically based on what you think of. If you think you're going to be just a normal office boy, working from 9-5 everyday, and you're satisfied with that kind of life. That would be what you get.However, if you think you're going to be a CEO of a big company, you will be one. You will be one.
Trust me.
