The sun has been rising earlier. People are walking much slower on streets. Kids are playing in the park. Flowers starts to appear out of nowhere. Indeed, spring is coming.
The flowers reminded me of the story regarding cherry, peach, plum and dansom (樱，梅，陶，李）. The four different flowers that bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. They all need different conditions such as a specific range of temperature before they can start to flower. It is said that the colder the winter, the more brilliant the cherry blossom will be as it absorbs the energy of the cold winter.
Human lives are just like the different flowers. We all have the limitless potential and we just got to be patient and wait for the right conditions and time in order for us to realise and display each of our unique individuality and talents. Sometime, we may need to endure a cold winter in order for us to realise our unique mission in life that no one else can fulfil.
It has been exactly 2 months in sweden. I has been doing much reflection for the past few days, reflecting the things i have done, things yet to be done, and new things to be done. Sometime, i have doubts regarding my own beliefs. And i wonder if this self reflection bug has caught on other people. It seems that my friends ard me, and in singapore (from blogs) have been doing much reflection. I guess we got to be patient. Sometime, a cold winter or a hot summer is needed in order for us to make us realise our true self.
At least the stary flowers reminded me of this truth..
