Life Lesson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvalKH68vZ8&NR=1&feature=fvwp


I love this learning english series on youtube. The text below are copied from the link about sad/happiness. How true it is. It is easier to grow up as a mature adult through hardship but not when you are laying in a cosy bed..

It would be fair to say that we all go through times when things seem bad. People can sometimes let you down. People have the ability to say things that make you unhappy. Events and circumstances may come along and destroy your plans for future.

As poet Stephen Spender once wrote: "You must live through the time when everything hurts. "

Life comes with no guarantees or promises.

The sunny days of contentment can only be truely appreciated through the dark gloomy nights of despair.

For without sadness, we would never really know what it is like to be truely happy.

Richard Rohr's talk- his list of five promises that define true adulthood is what he says gives a person the ability to live in the world as a grown up.

Five things Every adult should know......
1. Life is hard.
2.You are not that important.
3. Your life is not about you.
4. You're not in control.
5.You are going to die.

I Believe in You- IL Divo & Celine Dion

A meaningful song (English/French song). I received this song few years ago from my friend. It was highly recommended by her as a nice song. I did not think so at that moment, only now I understand the meaning of the lyrics.


Lonely, the path you have chosen
A restless road, no turning back
One day you will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go be strong
Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe, I believe, I believe in you

Tout seulTu t'en iras tout seulCœur ouvertA l'universPoursuis ta quêteSans regarder derrièreN'attends pasQue le jourSe lèveSuis ton étoileVa jusqu'où ton rêve t'emporteUn jour tu le toucherasSi tu crois, si tu crois, si tu croisEn toiSuis ta lumièreN'éteins pas la flamme que tu portesAu fonds de toi souviens-toiQue je crois, que je crois, que je croisEn toi

Someday I'll find you
Someday you'll find me too
And when I hold you close
I know that it's true
Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I believe, I believe in you (x2)
