I closed my 2007 with 'Wild at heart' in mind.
Obviously my 2008 has not been 'wild' enough.
And as if i am being given a reminder, my 2008 will close with 'Yes Man' in mind.
Jim Carrey's latest movie is a purposeful movie that reminds us of the good ol message.
'ships are not made to decorate the harbour'.
and men are not made to play safe.
who is to decide that photos must not be blur?
who is to decide that life must be lived in certain way?
everytime we say no to a challenge, we keep away from danger and along with that, opportunity.
and when we say yes, we expose ourselves to risks, and along with that, opportunity.
But Yes Man's biggest lesson is not that we must learn to say Yes.
The challenge is to be able to say what your heart believe, even if others say otherwise, even if your mind says otherwise.
it's true that by being different, we risk losing our allies and supports.
it's true that we risk making the wrong choice and being made the laughingstock.
but it's also true that by being different, we are opening up the little chance,
of making our mark in the history of mankind.
when 80% of the world are followers.
and only 20% have the gut..
the gut to abolish slavery of the black,
the gut to tell the reigning catholic church that they have gone wrong,
the gut to dream of a free india,
the gut to dream of an equally treated african american.
because men are not made to play safe.
so one more time,
here's my wishes for 2009.
a God-led journey or adventure or misadventure.
in any case, let it be great!
