Suprising Monday ~~~~

When was the last time someone actually brighten up your Monday with inspirational talks. I think this is my first posts talking about a good Monday. Well, I went to meet a customer today, he's an old man. So we started talking about business, this and that. Than suddenly he asked me how young am I, So I told him I was 25. Than he said how he wish his son has my thinking and maturity. Gosh, that makes me happy :p

We started talking about life. He gave me a lot of ideas and advises which I roughly know but needed someone to remind you of it. He told me a lot of things, about his son about his ex-wife who left him, about how he suffer thru his young days. And how he got an idiotic son.

He married at the age of 26, they got a child when he was 29. His wife left him for another guy as he didn't appreciate her. His sons is like the blacksheep of the family only know how to spend and doesn't even have directions in life. He told me that as humans and as a young man, he advises me that we should not regret the things that we do. He regretted that he didn't treat his wife right. That's why he told me to do whatever with your best at it and no regrets. He even lecture me on leaning on the things that I believe and the people who are dear to me. People who treats you good is a friend/partner that you shouldn't allow them to leave. Once they leave, you might not have a 2nd chance on that. That I think I believe :) Coz I felt it. I lost my 2nd chance. And I admit defeat. Opportunities comes only once, they will never u-turn unless you make the changes. I'm surprised that a 50+ old men telling me this type of things. Is practically what I normally advise my friends. He treats his wife bad last time, he even have a mistress, but shit happens thou. He didn't mentioned much. He was just naive that time thinking that he can have both women in his life.

His son is a pain in the ass, keep on failing on examinations and life. Booze and ciggie came into the picture. But He's not angry at it, coz he do smoke and drink. He's just upset on how his son manage his life. 25 years old, no direction and don't know what to do. When he said this, I think of myself. Now I do have directions and I have motive in life. To work hard for money and make sure I got money for my wife and family. I told my mum I might be bachelor thou :p

Is very ironic talking to an intellect old men early in the morning. He just make my day. So I did share a bit of my things with him. As I like sharing with strangers coz they gives the best advises and encouragement that a friend will never learn to give. He told me certain things you need to learn to give up. And certain thinks you just need to keep. He explain the wants, needs and priority to me. I guess I have been ignorant to misled myself to jumble up those 3. I used to have diff priority. When I got my gf last 3 months ago, my priority is always her. My needs is like my job, and my wants is to make her as happy as I can. I explain to the uncle why and how I sees her differently. Now, things have change. My priority is my job, my needs is my family and my wants will be the goal that I want to achieve. This sticks to me from now till forever Do you know how fuck-up is the guy's attitude when he wants to move on ? I think Wing understands this part :) Coz we chat till 5 a.m which is 8 a.m her time :) lol Thanks WIng :)

I'm going out for lunch already. I hope everyone had a great Monday just like I had. Thanks for the advise uncle. I knew about it. But you just reminded about it, to let me know how I get where I am. And who I am now. Thanks.

- If you believe in it, do it, if you don't, than don't dwell on it -
