Jeg kom over en engelsk heldags jeg hadde i 2009. Selv om den ikke er så alt for bra skrevet, er det mye å hente ut av budskapet. Temaet for heldagsen var tid. Håper du liker den...
The clock strikes one, two, and three... Sometimes it's about life and death, to live or to die. The last moment of despair. You try fighting back, but it doesn't work. The clock is constantly headed towards the next hour. Or perhaps you have achieved your goal, praying for it to last a minute longer? Whenever, wherever; time will always remain.
Why is it that time follows us wherever we tend to go? Time is everything; Every situation you've had in your life, every time you've thought about going back to erase mistakes, bringing back good memories or the loss of someone. You can regret something for a while, but there comes a time when you've got to learn to let go of your mistakes. Time can heal anything. It's the only medicine which has full guarantee. Then again, take chances for the benefit of the doubt. You don't want to look back ten years from now, wondering what could have been.
Take a chance! Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you took advantage of that chance and just jumped inn to fulfill it? Don't walk around searching for chances. You'll get loads of them, but when the timing is right, give it a go! The fear of taking a little risk will always remain. All you have to, is to look beyond it. Look beyond your biggest fears. In this way, you will see the doors are open, if you only dare to hope!
A suitable reference to this topic about time is the fable; "The Tortoise and The Hare" Personally, I was a bit amused after reading it since I've never actually thought about the story having a moral. As a matter of fact, the reader discovers a deeper meaning after reading the story slowly, and concentrating on the message of the text rather than at first glance deciding what it's about. The moral is "slow and steady wins the race", but I disagree. Going slow is a good way to be careful and to observe things, but you don't win a race by going slow. The hare never underestimated his ability of winning the race. What he did wrong, was that he never actually proved his ability of winning. In a flat out run he would have beaten the tortoise in no time. What we can learn from this hare, is to never take advantage of our talents. You should rather put your soul in it, and you'll achieve your goal. The key to success is to know how to use our talents, not just having them.
After what I've experienced out of life, time only makes you stronger. You'll learn from time. To this, I'll share a personal example. I still remember back to when I tried to bowl for the first time in my life. I was five years old, and as a little girl I was stubborn. As independent as I was, I had to try it out for myself. I gathered all my strength and together with the ball, it flew away and out of my hands. Instead of throwing the ball forward, mine went backwards. After some time I've learnt to look past my mistakes, and rather laugh about it. This can concern anyone no matter what age, sex or background. Everyone's affected by mistakes and failures, because everyone makes them. Your talents and awards are depending on how much you spend practicing. Practice takes time, but it makes perfect in the end. All we need is the time to achieve what we want to make out of life. It is crucial to our lives. Once you've lost time, you can never get it back.
"No one can know the potential, of a life that is committed to win; with courage, the challenge it faces, to achieve great success in the end! So, explore the Dimension of Greatness, and believe that the world can be won; By a mind that is fully committed, with time the task can be done!"
