                    Opportunity is like Dandelion


Do you believe fate?
Are you a fatalist?
Fate seems predestined, and life appears casual, coincidental.
There seem countless opportunities in your life, yet each is like a dandelion seed floating in the air past you. You may fail to notice it or you see it but hesitate for a split second. So the opportunity drifts away like the dandelion seed, carried away by the wind, forever out of sight.
“Man proposes, God disposes.”
Your refusal to a proposal is like seeing your opportunity like dandelion fly away and never return.
I remember refusing certain friends’ invitation with oft-repeated excuse or sometimes a real fact: “Sorry, I’ve already got an arrangement” or “Sorry, I’ve been too busy these days.” But later it turned out that when I was free, the friends would be busy, and there was no returning of the opportunity.
Very often we fail to value what comes to us, taking it for granted---friendship and support, help and care until it leaves us, leaves us forever like a dandelion in the air, and thus our hope will be like the moon in the water.

                   Attitude (poem)


Wordless as friends come and go
Careless if she becomes a stranger, he, a foe
When life’s fingers splendidly paint the season green
Friendship must be generous while love, mean

Helpless as the sun sets and moon rises
Fearless if the road’s blocked by rocks of all sizes
When fate’s hands miraculously hold a lovely chin
Loyalty should be a virtue while betrayal, a sin

It Happens
 
It happens that you hear a song that pleases your ears, and you feel in it something nostalgic, something resonating.
The fact is that you have an ear for it;
It happens that you spot a book that inspires your mind, and you find in it something unique, something entertaining.
The truth is that you have a taste for it;
It happens that you encounter someone who touches your heart, and you spot in her something graceful, something heartening.
The point is that you have a crush on her.
