This phrase struck me deeply while i was watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button today. I hope i will never have to lose someone again to know how important they are to me. After working 2 nights on my testimony sharing for the retreat, i thank God that one of the ways He's changed me is to be more aware and appreciative of my loved ones.
Btw, the testimony went ok. I was a little nervous though... and quite easily distracted by little bits of activity and movements. Surprising, cos i thot i had gone thru enuff grinding n polishing of presentation skills during Uni days :P To me, it felt slightly mechanical and choppy (happens when i have notes in front of me). Maybe cos it's something very personal, maybe i was very conscious of maintaining my composure and a light tone, or maybe both. But in any case, i hope i got the message across and that it was clear and encouraging. Thank God for a wonderful retreat :)
As for the movie, here's some other quotes i like:
Benjamin Button: Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss.
Benjamin Button: It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.
Benjamin Button: [Voice over; letter to his daughter]
For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
Captain Mike: You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.
