三人行,必有我师

How many times have you learnt about some things, only to forget about it after the passage of time? I decided not to anymore. Not when my friends had taught me so much. So here's a new label named "I learnt" which contains snippets of inspirations my dear friends had either wittingly or unwittingly taught me.

First to start with -

Courage is not the absence of fear, but is acting in spite of it. - Chong Choon.

Think the original came from Mark Twain and Nelson Mandela. Anyway, following my subsequent interest in the subject, just want to share with my friends a passage.

"The one fear we must all guard against is the fear of ourselves. Don't let the sensation of fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not proof of cowardice." - Abstract from "In search of Courage" by John McCain.

despite your talk-to-my-hand face whenever you disagree with me, you must understand tt you are one of the most adorable friend i have in this world. like seriously.

appreciate what you did not to this post but to the post before. 虽然你不介意很多东西,但市常因为我,让你改变了很多你想做的事, 或是想说的话。 谢谢你一直以来都在顾虑我对于我朋友的立场。真没看错你。 =)
