ICE CREAM, SHOOTING STARS and LOST TIME

One thing about TIME, you can never grab its shoulder from behind and say, “Wait a sec, don’t go yet, I’m still thinking about it.”

You CAN hear the bell of the Ice Cream Man passing by your house. All you have to do is go out and stop him on his tracks so you can BUY ICE CREAM.

But TIME is different. It will never stop for you no matter how loud you call its name or how hard you try to stop it. It will just pass you by.

Whenever you see a shooting star, you’d wish for it to stop for a while so you can see more of it. But that never happens. Shooting stars pass by quickly, and whether or not you were able to catch a glimpse of their passing, they will never stop on their tracks. Not for you. Not for anyone. They never stop just to say, “Hey, I’m just passing by! Watch me!” They never stop for anything. Much like TIME.



Even if you cry for lost time, it will never go back for you. Never. It won’t even think about going back for you. It’ll just go on its way, passing by before everyone’s eyes.

That is why THE WORST THING you can do is to wallow in regret for opportunities lost. While you are spending your time thinking about what you should’ve done, you are already missing your chance to do what you should have been doing RIGHT NOW.

We have all the time we need.
