'One Day'

‘I have just been overhauled’. Opps .. Correction, ‘I have just been tagged’. William, some correction, I am 'Heroes' not 'Hero'...

It’s been quite sometime since my last post in our SHS blog and now thanks to MGB effort and creation of tagging among friends to start sharing whatever things in order to make our SHS blog lively again after being stagnant for a while.

As we could seen from the last post which was contributed by our lecturer friend, Joe and I was glad that he has finally registered as a contributor in this blog after so many ‘days’ and ‘months’ of his contribution by way of commenting in friends’ posts. Thanks again, MGB for your tagging thingy… but I noticed one of our frequent comments contributors, William has yet to registered as a contributor in our SHS blog, although he was among the very first batch whom were invited by the creator of our blog, Pat to become a contributor. Maybe ‘One Day’ he will registered, am I right William? ☺

The phrase of ‘One Day’ has been widely used by all of us irrespective in office, home and in any function, situation, condition etc that you could name.

- I must go to visit China ‘One Day’
- Son, I will buy you a car ‘One Day’
- I want to become a doctor ‘One Day’
- I think I will organize a gathering among our old friends ‘One Day’
- Don’t worry, we shall achieve it ‘One Day’
- Darling, we shall have our own house ‘One Day’

Everything, everywhere, everytime and everyone talked about ‘One Day’ but do we really know how much the influence or impact to those who received that ‘One Day’ promises from those who promised if undelivered? All of us would agree that talking is really very much easier than action. How to put our promises into action? That’s very much depend on individual and ones character & attitude are the main key factor whether the promises made will be materialized.

When we were a kid, our parents used to promise us this and that, and not all of them would be materialized. As a kid, the only way to release our frustration and disappointment was crying. When we grew up and be part of the contributors to our society development, the ‘One Day’ promises would still around although it’s from various sources. Sometimes we have to bear with it and keep telling ourselves don’t put so much hope on it as it might not be materialized. That’s an easy way of comforting ourselves and you may say it as an excuse too.

If we are the one who promised, kindly think and put ourselves in the shoe of the receiving parties and the consequences of breaking promises. I do agree that no one is perfect as a human being but don’t take this as an excuse to our undelivered of promises.

To our loved one, family, parents, brothers, sisters, closed friends, friends, colleague, clients, business associates etc, we must always remember of what promises we made to each of them and make sure we must delivered.

Friends, any promises you have been made and yet to delivered?

Whose next?? Hardy, you are next..

ONE DAY, A would be the PM.

One day all Malaysians will have equal right as stated in the federal constitution.

One day Malsysians of non Malay origin will break the curse which fall on them the day they are born.

Hope that the one day is today September 16, 2008.

One day one day... GSM bro GSM.

Take our fate elsewhere.

Move away from central planning.

Don't kowtow to a royalty from faraway land.

Learn from the Irish.

Promise gives hope. If we do not get it, may be the time is not yet near or we are not ready to face it or accept it.

Again 916 gives hope for a change. Though today is 917, I am thankful though promise did not materialise, it had gave people a lot of reflection to prepare for the eventual day. Even those in power have to think many times what was the hidden card on the table.

When promise is not delivered, if the giver is trying all his best to materialise it....we should be happy. My dad had through his life working hard to ensure all 5 of us are well and successful, although he did not fulfil his promise to send us all to overseas....at the least. he gave me the determination to try your best to deliver.

When promise is not delivered, do not immediately pass a judgement, try to understand the cirscumtances evolved around the person...seek to understand, yet to understood...the 2nd habit of HEP.

Another....though many friends promised to give their confirmation for Beijing trips....few have fallen in silence ! (A girlfriend surname Ling did call up to advise that she is prepared to give consultation for the trip as she has been there last year)...I am still believing in making the trip very very soon...ONE DAY ! :)
