Pray

I sincerely pray for you, my dear friend. 

Get well soon, DanYi.

Friendship

Dr. Daisaku Ikeda always emphasizes on the greatness of friendship. He builds great bridges across the world since he was young. He truly cherish each encounter. This is why he is truly a great man, acknowledged worldwide as a prominent figure. 

Friendship is an intangible tie between two person. None of us can exist in isolation. Our lives and existence are supported by others in seen and unseen ways. To be aware of these connections, to feel appreciation for them, and to strive to give something back to society in a spirit of gratitude is the proper way for human beings to live. 

A genuine friendship is not about how much I can gain from you for what I have done. It is a pure contribution without any thought of gain. When you feel the joy of having such a person as your friend, you truly appreciate and respect that person. 

Friendship is not about imposing your superiority and control over someone. When you are doing so, you are actually destroying the seed of happiness. What is the point of building your happiness over someone's else suffering? At the end of the day, you will not feel any happy. 

Heart is what matters. Be the master of your mind (heart). Do not let yourself to be controlled by your thought. Get yourself to understand, why do people feel so happy with one another, and you don't. Do not put the blame on the others when you know you are at fault. 

Think. 

Limits.

Just couldn't understand why people just failed to appreciate life, be it your own or others'. That's why people tend to bring suffer to the others. Do we really feel good from doing so? Or they are actually bringing more sadness into their own lives? How pathetic such a person is. 

Simply because, you are being such a selfish person, putting yourself on top of all the others and failed to appreciate the principle of equality. You're thinking that all the people around you shall bow to you and shall put their reliance on you. You want people to come to you when they are facing with problems, begging you for help. But when this doesn't happen, you simply feel so pissed. This somehow reflects how inferior you are, how coward you are, how childish you can be. 

You are just being lucky. When you have the ability to reach out to help more, you don't. You think you have done too much, and you think you are now capable to control others' lives. You are not. A great person would not be complaining around for what he had done. To such a person, sacrifice is so sacred that it creates a great value in his life. But you are not. You complained of what you have done, and you wish that people will acknowledge for what you have done. 

Open up your eyes and see the world. You are capable to bring more colours into the life of people around you. You are such a great person and you simply shouldn't ruin yourself. Is time to wake up. Stop all your childish acts back there. We knew every single thing that you have done. Don't doubt, we really knew. We respect you as a human, we respect you with dignity. And that's why we do not do anything to harm you, not because we can't. So please know where to stop. The limit. 

Final Semester

Time just flies before I realized that, now, I am in my final semester. Things have been, at least, going on well, or else I would not been in my final semester now. When I first entered law school during mid-2007, I was pretty new to this whole thing. I didn't even have a clear mind of why am I choosing law. It seemed to be that, this had been programmed into my mind since I was young. Being a talkative boy, people around always said that I will be a lawyer in the future and that's how this thing seemed to be carved in my mind - and I didn't think much. I did not really score well during my first semester. Being a rookie at that moment, I was quite lost. The feeling is just like you were being thrown into the sea and you have no idea how you reach the mainland. I was lucky enough to meet a senior, who gave me a hand to go through such  tough period of time. He showed me the way. It was also a hard time, for the very first time to be far from my family and friends. Again, he was the one that kept me accompany throughout that time. I really appreciated what he had done for me. 

Semester by semester, I went through with more and more efforts being channeled in. My interest towards this field has grown even deeper. I realized its importance in our daily life. I pushed myself further to discover more on how this field can be used to help the others. The idea is simple. I just want to prove that justice is not a game for the rich. Every single human in this world has the right to justice. I took more papers from the others, not to show to people that I am capable. Again, the idea is simple - I want to learn as much as I can so that I can help more people when I step out into the society. 

My 4 years have been great especially when my life puzzle has been matched up with colourful pieces of friends. Each of them makes up a part of my life. I treasured them so much and to me, I think that's the biggest treasure in this 4 years time. 

Considered myself lucky, I have been selected 3 times to go for different international trips each year. In 2008, I went to Philippines, In the subsequent year, I went to Vietnam. And in 2010 I was selected to go to China with another 19 students. Deep in my heart, I really feel the greatest gratitude towards my lecturer for giving me this great learning opportunity. Frankly, I am only a little soldier in the contingent, but I was chose for 3 times to go for all these programs. Thankful. 

During this period of time as well, I have been more and more actively involve in my organization - SGI. It is an international organization that promotes peace through education and culture. I deeply attracted by its noble move as well as its great leader - my mentor. I deeply vow to fight together with my mentor for the rest of my life - to promote peace to each individual as well as globally. Youth is the time to build the strong foundation which will then determine who you are in the future. 

6 more months. I shall fight harder. 

2011

Yeah, I am back from Guangzhou, with a box of memories to be treasured for life. Back to my reality, and my life, thus begins. Another semester to go and that's from today!
