Appreciate.

There are some things in life which you only have that one chance to cherish and appreciate.

Hmmms, today's Chinese paper was okay except that I couldn't really finish them (not surprising) so I did half of this and half of that.
And the next paper would be English then combined humans, I think.
I don't have much confidence for combined humans and I regret taking Bio instead of Lit.
Cos I thought too highly of myself, thought I could definitely handle Geog and SS but instead I failed so miserably for both of them like everytime. I think I only managed to pass SS once. D:

Anyway, all the best for EOYs!

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, sat an old man with his 30-year-old son.

As the train moves, the son is overwhelmed with joy because he is thrilled by the scenery outside.

"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful."

This behavior from the thirty-year-old son made the other people on the train feel strange about him. Everyone started murmuring something or other about this son.

"This guy seems to be a crack," newly married Anup whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining. Raindrops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The thirty-year-old, filled with joy said, " See dad, how beautiful the rain is..."

Anup's wife became irritated with the raindrops, as they were dropping on her new suit and spoiling it.

"Anup, can't you see it's raining? You old man. If your son is not feeling well, get him to a mental asylum soon and don't disturb the public henceforth."

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied, "We are on the way back from hospital. My son was discharged this morning. He was blind at birth. Only last week he regained his vision. Rain and nature are new to his eyes. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused."


The things we see may be right, from our perspective-until we know the truth. But when we know the truth, our reaction to that will hurt even us.
