Opportunity has a Time Limit

I was trying to get a hold of myself but this is just too good not to be shared. While I was exercising using my wife's iPod Nano, I accidentally played this song. It's from Parokya ni Edgar entitled "Akala". I was surprised because I never expected them to have such a good message in their song!

Let's pick up some lines from this song and I'll try my best to interpret them in English, and say something about it.

"I thought I knew a lot of things but was wrong again, but it's ok."

It's ok! Don't cry over a spilled milk! Learn from your mistakes, never be afraid to try especially if the pros would far outweigh the cons! That's how it is in life.

"Don't be afraid to make mistakes, you won't get anywhere without trying because time is running. You'll get left behind if you don't try."

Imagine that you're trapped in fire. Now, say that going through a glass window has the chance of saving yourself from the fire but you're afraid that the shards would cut you and get hurt. Let's call that, the opportunity to save your life. Now, fire is eating up everything around you, let's say that fire is the time. Are you gonna try and take the opportunity? Or are you just gonna let it pass and get eaten by the fire?

"I thought before that nothing will happen, and thought that I will eventually get tired but now they can't say a thing, thank goodness I was stubborn".

A lot of pain today could mean a lot of comfort later. Take time to build your character, personality and work ethic and eventually it will pay off. Don't listen to clowns who tell you that you cannot do something! Don't let them kill your dreams.


So here's a link to the video I found in YouTube. I hope you get to love it too!
