He emailed me a letter, instead of the customary birthday card as usual kerana he's so broke he cannot afford paying the postal fee because he thought that i would appreciate the little change of upgrading ourselves parallel to the hi-tech world -.-
anyway,
he sent me this wise, super-sweet letter that compensate his penniless state his addiction to the advancement of technology state.
in his letter, a paragraph that touches my heart the most was,
“Winners are people with a definite purpose in life. Losers are people who wander aimlessly through life or self-destruct.”
it went right through my heart as i was just on the phone with my girlfriend last night, and she told me that sometimes, she feels like a loser. only sometimes, i can assure you she's a go-getter girl. just exactly what a winner should be. yes, i believe in her that much.
let's us all be a winner. to be one, we don't have to knock others down on our way to get up there, no gaining at the expense of others needed. just be, and celebrate yourself up there while helping others climbing in getting there.
success is to be shared. surely, it is no fun of conquering a mountain (or a hill, if you are si boyak yang tak mahu bersukan) and then experiencing the picturesque view alone by yourself, went down afterwards and bragged to others about it.
it is better to have friends who have had seen the sceneries that we seen up there themselves. and we can reminiscing precisely (even after 20 years) the sweetness of conquering the abovementioned mountain.
Why would a 17 years old high school boy writing inspirational email to his sister? that's a different story. Regardless, we, the siblings, are all cool like that ;)
love you heaps for making it this far in reading!*virtual hug*
