Special Moments.

Yesterday was 7th August 2009.

At the 34th minute and 56 seconds past 12, the time and date read:

12:34:56 07/08/09

A thousand years' phenomenon as many puts it.

Wonderful isn't it?

For much of men's history people have always been amazed by numbers, particularly those with a certain progression and follow a set of defined formulas and rules. Its almost a kind of fascination over the very thing of time and dates that men himself invented.

And along with such special dates and time, people will inevitably ask, so how will you spend that time? What will you be doing at that very special moment?

Because for unbeknownst reason, people associate special moments with special events. For instance, on birthdays, on christmas, on new year's eve, or like recently on a day of an eclipse. its almost as if to say that such special occasions are opportunities or even a basis for doing something unique and different.

Now fundamentally there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever. But I guess my point here has to do with the power of one's ability to create his destiny. Alright, that may have seemed a bit far-fetched and sort of unrelated to what we are talking about. But let me explain.

In the many situations that I have mentioned about date and time coming along with opportunities, people will always be saddened if they have not made use of that opportunity fully. Its almost as if they wasted that good/unique day by not doing anything unique/special themselves. Or it need not be unique things but just symbolic gestures like coming up with a set of new year's resolutions right before the start of the new year.

And here's where my point come in. IT DOESN'T MATTER. A lot of people always forget that time and date are just some of men's creations for a more structured world. They are just nothing more than a little part of our lives that we have become so accustomed to. But really, eventually when it comes down to it, its up to you to decide what to do with your life. You don't have to wait for those special moments in life to do that something special. You can do that something special RIGHT NOW.

Traditional Chinese always say pick a good date for marriage or a good day to register your business, to get a house etc. etc. The list goes on. But like I have said, don't let dates and time make or break you. You make and break time and date. Be the master of your own destiny.

Eventually what I am also saying is- DON't WAIT. Life aren't about waiting for those special moments, its about making those special moments yourself.

That said, I felt completely assured when I was sleeping through 12:34:56 07/08/09. :)
