RE: Morning Coffee - CARPE DIEM

Still remember the “Dead Poet Society” and Robin Williams back in late ’80s? CARPE DIEM - Seize the day!

Have we ever done that? Seize the day…just go with your heart and spend the day of your own. Forget the daily routines. Just be yourself.

We all are familiar with the phrase: ‘Life is short and we only live once’, rite? So, why not every now and then, ask yourself what you want to do if today is your last day on earth. What is the most important thing you wanna do if you only have one shot on your last day? Who is the person you want to share your last day with? Where is the place you want to go before you leave the world?

I believe only a handful of us can actually go out and do the things we want to without prior notice. And I’m sorry for you guys, the married couples, you’re certainly not the ones would be able to.

But of course we don’t have to do all the extreme things. Just think about things you want to do but haven’t got the chance to before going to bed at night. Things like how you can show your passion and love to your loved ones, how to make people around you happy, how to do something good to your community, how to share your big heart with the poor and the ones who need, how to make yourself a better person and thus feel better. I believe every of us has this kind of things piling up deep in our hearts. So why not pick a day, go out of the box and do it.

Like they always said: Yesterday is history, today is a gift and tomorrow is future. Learn from the past, make the best of the present and plan for the future.

CARPE DIEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what, this reminds me of something I did the other day .. hahaha .. I felt so good after I did that.

So, just want to share a bit about my personal story.

Last week, I went to the bank; a Citibank branch somewhere in Alhambra area. I was actually quite in a hurry since I was already late for work but I needed to transfer some money that day.

I was in line already and was waiting for the next available teller. I saw a lady walked in and went around to the end of the designated area for the line and was going to stand behind me. But then, I saw another lady walked in (few seconds later) and said “excuse me” to me and cut the lady off by getting in line from the front instead of from the back of the designated area for the line.

When I saw that happened, I thought to myself .. “wow, this lady who just cut in line has no manner at all”. So, when it was my turn to go to the available teller, I told the second lady (who was kind of piss*d off because she just got cut off) to go ahead in front of me. She asked “Are you sure?” and she looked surprise .. but then I quickly said “Yes, go ahead” and she looked very happy.

I felt really good after seeing her angry face turned into a happy face ..
I did not even look at the face of the lady who cut in line .. hahahaha ..
I just pretended I did not do anything wrong
I don’t think I did.

LOL
