Insights from cruise

Oh! How I miss my trip; all I can do now is reminisce and reflect...

1. It's a small world. Who would've thought I would've bumped into so many familiar faces on the ship? How likely is it to bump into someone on a ship that holds 2000+ people? VERY LIKELY!

2. It takes two to tango... and chacha.. and rumba.. haha and a lot of things in life. It is sometimes unnecessary to blame oneself because some things are not under your own control.

3. Life is not a show. You don't need to care so much about what others around you think about you. Just be and have no regrets.

4. 江山易改，本性难移. Personalities are too hard to change.

5. Going on vacation is like having an extended dream. In this dream, you might be able to live a different life, even be a different person but sooner or later you will have to wake up and return to reality...

Selfishness

How come my reaction was so slow? How come I didn't think of that? Or maybe I'm just inherently selfish and inconsiderate. Maybe I'm not as good of a person as I thought I was.

Memories

One wonderful thing about human beings is the capacity they have for memory and drawing upon this unfathomable storage. One scenery, one song, one scent, one small touch, one phrase or even one word can bring back a slide show of memories, whether they be good, bad, bitter, sweet, miserable or warm. If this happens, just let it be and enjoy this moment. Enjoy this special ability that you, as a human being, have. There's no point fighting back. It's really quite amazing. A small thing you said or did, or you just being who you are can have such a huge impact on someone else. At this moment, someone can be reviewing memories they've had with you .

Depression

Don't pity yourself, for when you do, no one will pity you.
Don't drown yourself in depression, for you can't expect someone to come along and save you.
YOU need to save yourself.
YOU have the power to gain happiness.

What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!
