It is a small red notebook I keep since a long time ago. Only a few first pages are written with something. It was actually to keep record of some memorable inspirational thoughts from one of my favourite lecturer. Originally it was in Malay. I will “Englisify” them and add more salts and spices.
Planting seeds
“Reap what we sow” it is an old saying. Growing little seeds isn’t a work of a day or two. It certainly takes time to see some significant result. On the first day we put seeds onto the soil. Then we water them everyday. Even when there seems nothing happen to the seeds we keep on watering them and keep the pests away. Until…without we even realize it, the seeds has turned into a small vulnerable plant with soft and green leaves. However it doesn’t end there. We nurture them to a well age.
What if we just gave up on the first few days or leave them vulnerable just after they began to have leaves and roots? What if? But we never did that aren’t we?

reading your post reminds me of something someone said. anyway, one who would patiently nurture the plant from the seed till it becomes a beautiful plant would certainly reap the rewards. in my opinion, its up to ourself, if we do things half-done, or stop just after one or two hurdles, we won’t get the result we wanted. so it all comes down to you, your patience, your actions and your determination.

I am not really in the correct position to speak about sowing and reaping right now. But… it just as a reminder to myself…
