The RM5

I have a question for you peopleeeee

Wondering what question??

My title sounds weird, I know.....heeheee

Have you ever lost something which is precious to you? It could be anything of yours.

How was the feeling like?

What is your reaction over your lost?

Are you thinking now?? Cos you better be !!

Let me share with you a story of mine.

There was once I took RM5 out for dinner. I wore a short which the pocket has a hole and I totally forgot about it.

Guess what?? Yup yup yup....as expected, I dropped off my RM5 and only realize it when I got back home. (I did not spend the RM5 on my dinner).

I lost it !!!!!!!!!

What was the first thing that came into your mind when you lose something?

Mine was, “I could have use the money for another meal….AHHHHH….. I could have ordered 3 types of drinks at the mamak stall instead of sharing it or sometimes I don't order any.....AHHHHHH”

I know RM 5 is not a big amount but normally what comes into our mind is if we pay RM5 for other purpose, it’s worthwhile but if we pay RM5 for NOTHING, it’s not worth it at all. Besides, I was still a student at that time.

SOooooo I was like “ how careless was I, how can I forget about the hole and bla and bla and blaaaaaaaaaaa....

Most people will give us the advice of "nevermind la, its just RM5..u could easily use that up in one meal.”

What would be your advice?

A friend gave me an advice which most of us never thought of.

He said, “Its okay, your money could be a blessing to the one who found it. Don't be sad over what you have lost because that person might need it more than you do.”

WOAHHH !!

His advice was indeed a meaningful one for me to think over my lost. Loosing RM5 was nothing, because I have learned something from it and at the same time, that person who found it might really need it more than I do.

“When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed doors that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” Alexander Graham Bell

Every mistake made, should not be a regret to us because it is the mistake itself that we can learn to be better.

Look at the positive side ;-)

So, are you thinking now?? you better be !! LOL .....
