Motivation~

I have a outstanding lecturer that teaching us a few topics which cover leadership, motivation and one more i forgot. The way he having lecture is totally different from other lecturers. He likes to say this sentence "look at me, look at me", and everyone is stunned. He use to take some of the students as a case study, his method of teaching is interesting but is sometime annoying or maybe I should say because I used to the traditional method of learning. Anyway is a good exposure to meet a lecturer with different teaching method and different point of view.

He is having his last lecture with us today. I am inspired with one point he stated.
"The best gift in our life is living in the Present but not tomorrow and the past. What we did today can lead us to a better future from what we have experienced and learned from the past. ~ Sr Dr Ilias Said" Although some might think it is only a common statement but i truly agree what he told us. People who leave in the past will never see their future because there are keep surrounding by all negative matters that happened in the past. When we are doing our best in Today, we have no regret. We have no regret on tomorrow because what you did today reflects tomorrow. 

I remember once I saw a short story regarding the importance of time. 
"There is a bank that you can use to invest your money. The more money you invested, the more interest you will get. The bank can even double or triple your modal in a day. It can guarantee you to be rich for the rest of your life. However there is one term and condition that the bank apply. The money you put in can only last for one day. For another new day you have to put in another amount of money and again it will earn you more and more money. It continues the process non stop." Everyone wish to have a bank like that and actually everyone of us have it since we are born. The money you invested is actually your time. Time = Money. The time can earn us a lot but time cannot replenish. If we can't manage our time properly and it is all gone. The time still moves on day by day no matter what situation you are in. That is why it is so important to live in present and appreciate what you have own in present.
