Weekend looms...
Finally thrusday is over. Time seems to fly faster and faster. Had a hell of a hectic before lunch period. Coz had to rush out some info for my creative designer so that he can design a brochure for my conference. Packed lunch to office again. In the afternoon, life wasn't so bad.
After work, went to causeway point to meetmy cousins and their in laws who came from Manila and Aussie. They brought their new 10 mths old baby. Her name is Paris Catlin Leong. Super chubby baby and was a hell of a hungry baby as well. We had dinner at Crystal Jade Palace and after that, we walked around b4 goin back home. Just sent them back to their hotels and now blogging coz kind of tired. So would be slping soon. Tml will be a busy day. Coz it's the day before the event.
Attached below is the story I read from the email. It's nice reading through it and think about it from the entire perspective of life.....
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. It was not possible to stop the train but You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Which decision will you make?
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make,morally and emotionally.But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office,community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realise that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.
I made the decision not to change the course of the train. I always believed that in life, you should always do what you think is right and follow what your heart and mind tells you to... BUT, just be prepared to face whatever consequences that is caused by your decision... as long as you can come to terms with that it will be fine... if not, dun try....
Okie. I suppose that's all and been a bored week so far been just coming home after work... haiz... this weekend is short as I have an event till late evening... haiz... no choice...so I will try to plan a good weekend out... Cheers guys....
