This after going to work, then to rehearsal (for Jiu Jian's new children's musical "The Adventures of Wei Wei and Kang Kang) :) Top it all off, my dad's 70th birthday celebration :)
70 years... what an achievement! And I don't mean the mere arrival at that age (although that is a cause for celebration!) :) I am more referring to the amount of success my dad enjoys at 70 :) If a man's success is measured by the amount of love he engenders from his friends, his family... I feel my dad has succeeded beyond imagination :) Surely, this is the prosperity that God promised :)
It is about people, isn't it? After all that's said and done, it is about people. I often wonder to myself what everyone thinks about. It is a rather strange thought, I'll admit... but don't we all do that at some point? Would they be thinking about... their next meal, money, love, companionship, what to wear... all of the above? :) And then I wonder... how often do people think of people :)
I would like to live my life thinking about people :) Certainly, God has blessed me with many people to think about :) I have my family, my students, my business partners, and (dare I say) my fans? :)
My teen years, and indeed, my twenties, were difficult years. In the perfect vision that is retrospect, I realise that it is because I was too concerned with myself... with my pain, my hardship, my wants, my needs... my, my, my! What a mess!
True joy came when I started to think about others :) It took me out of myself, and put my energies towards others :) And imagine, it made me happy! :) Haha! What a hoot! :)
Maybe I should rename this post "It's about people", but I shall save that propitious title for a longer elaboration :)
In the meantime, remember: it's about the people :)
Shalom!
