March 4, 2011_life is short

Still struck with Gandhi's quote which talked about life. Life is not about speed, there is more to life than increasing its speed.

I am a person who wants every thing to be quick. After achieving one goal, I can hardly be relaxed and enjoyed the goal I have achieved, worse I can easily get stressed with the next target. I know it's a weakness, though..

Today, I have finished the discussion of my 1st part of my thesis. Yeay! Good to me that my sister and my friend came over today. They needed to use the internet, so I lent my notebook to them, decided to continue my work tomorrow. Then I sat down and opened my bible. Then I found this verse:

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life." (NIV, Psalms 39:4)

"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered--how fleeting my life is." (NLT)

Thank you Lord for Your Word.
You remind me that my life is fleeting.
I'm not living only to achieve all my goals, yet Yours.
I'm not living to enjoy the life as I want it to be, but as You want it to be.
I'm not here in China just to get a Master's degree.
Keep remind me how precious my family and friends are.
Xie xie Shang di Ye su!
