"Forgive and forget". Thats what they always say. I beg to differ.
I remembered a time during primary school when I was engaging in a conversation with Dad on the Japanese occupation. Thats when I flared up upon knowing what they did to my fellow ancestors and countrymen. I was harshly criticising and plotting revenge when my dad smiled at me and said:
"Son, we must forgive people for what they did...But we must never forget."
To forgive is to be gracious and accepts that what's done's done. Theres no point in pursing as it will all lead back to the same point..
To not forget means keeping everything that's happened in the back of our heads, as a lesson in life.. To learn from the mistakes from before and turn them into our strong points..
Lastly, to remember how we're treated..And never , ever take things for granted..
I guess that's the first lesson in life I had. The simplest, yet the most applicable one..
Soccer is my favourite hobby.
The most important thing for me now is studying.
I need to get into a good university.
I need a degree.
I need a high pay in the future.
I need a nice home.
I wanna drive a nice car in the future.
Comeon yc, study harder come the next semester.
Play hardest! Its already the final years of schooling life..
