Time flies …
Unconsciously, we have come to the end of EG1471. I can still remember the first lecture of my EG1471, which started with an ice-breaking game which is just like yesterday and now I’m writing the last blog and the exams are approaching soon! Time really flies.
Very lucky that we are given to write something personal in our final blog, which makes me feel very comfortable. So, I have decided to write something about life and time.
Hmmm. Life is short. This is because time flies. Especially when we are filled with busy schedule, we can’t even notice that time is passing seconds by seconds cruelly. Since everyone in this world is equally given the same amount of time, the only difference is what has you distribute the time to. To me, children are the happiest category of human being as they spend most of their time to do whatever they want to do, think whatever they want to think such as day-dreaming, playing, talking to their beloved parents and so on. As we grow up, the time which we distribute to ourselves and to people who loves us seems to be decreasing dramatically. Actually, when people grow mature, they should realize what the most important things in their life are. But in this tempting world, they are too many seductions which make people confused about what are really more important to them. In this way, they will reduce the time distribution from whom and what they love and from who loves and cares about them, because they need to spread the time to what they think is important in their life.
As a matter of fact, a flower is always a flower. No matter whatever chemicals you add to it to make it gorgeous and beautiful, its basic needs are still soil, water and sun. Like human beings, no matter what achievement you have in your life, you still need love and care to sustain your life. With love and care, people might feel warmth; people might feel that life is meaningful. So, life is short. Within a short span of time, how much time has you distribute to people around you to give them loves and cares?
I think that this is an important question that we have to keep reminding ourselves. This is because although we understand the theory, but the reality may make us forget it. Have you ever have a feeling such that you regret that you did not do something or did something which you wish that it doesn’t happened before at the time which has passed? So, I think we should be clear in our mind, apart from learning how to manage our studies, we also have to learn how to manage our life, which is much more important. When you come to the end of life, you might realize that studies is only a small portion of your life. Having so much time concentrating on one thing, you might neglect other meaningful and beautiful things in your life. The message which I wish to conveyed is, don’t miss any precious moment which might happen to you and regret when it had passed.
Spend more time appreciating at the flowers and trees along the path you come to school instead of your notes, spend more time observing what people around you have made your life warm and meaningful. But remember to be thankful and make their life warm and meaningful as well. Life is short, 30 years 40 years isn’t long, so how much thing do you think you can do within the time frame to make your life and other’s life meaningful so that you won’t regret when you reach the end?

Hi yen ching, i also feel that the first lecture of my EG1471 just happened at yesterday, we are still play that ice-breaking game and asking each other about that few questions, after that, we get to know each other. As you said " time really flies" we come to the end of the semester already. After i saw your article, i feel your article is very touch. it's true that we are always busy doing all the things that towards to our dream, on the way to succeed, we ignored a lot of things that happened around us or happened to the people that we care. When we stop our step, look back what happened to us then We will realize that we missed a lot of beautiful things.
Yeah !
I agree with you Ching. Time flies. But when we look forward to our graduation day, it seems to go a long way ....hope this day will come soon ...
life is good. enjoy it. cheers
Hi, i agree with you totally, time flies! Nevertheless, i think we should not feel bad about the large amount of time that we have spent on work. (In fact, those who do not spend their time fruitfully should feel sad.) This is definitly worthwhile as the end of all these will allow us to do the things that we enjoy. Hang in there (:
cheers

people who loves us

Time is something that I now consider, at the ripe old age of 50, every day. "Yesterday" I was your age, and a college student. Today I have taught in universities.. for nearly 30 years. Ouch! How did I get here, to this spot in space and time. By luck, by opportunities seized, by other chances missed. Some might say by the grace of God. Others might argue by the wayward path. But here I am, like it or not.
You are right: We should wake up and smell the roses (as my father liked to say). Appreciate the little things in life, not constantly run toward elusive goals.
You're a wise woman, Yen Ching. I appeciate your many contributions this term. Thank you.
The sentences below need review. We mmay do so in class:
