"Post-It" Notes

Sometimes in life, we need little reminders because we forget that we are on a journey, where the destination is unknown. When the road you are travelling on, can throw surprises good or bad along the way, but we just gotta keep going.


And sometimes we need a little Post-It note along the way to remind us of the life we are living, as it seems us humans are pretty good at forgetting. So be it a "Complaint" note, or an encouraging one, we all need reminders. Not that I am not sponsored by 3M or about this wonderful blog which posts notes all over Singapore - reminding us of things we have forgotten.

I have already shared some friendly reminders to my friends out there. But this one takes the cake.


As I find the above reminder is actually the best advice one can give, besides my own personal motto. We all should work on finding our own happiness, because only you know what makes you happy. Because, very often without realising it, our personal 'joys' changes. Along that long road, the route we take, the views, the places we visit, the people we meet - they change our perception in our journey of life. So work towards what makes you happy. Whether it's money, or a relationship etc, only you know what matters. And don't forget, it's your life, your set of rules and things can change - even targets to happiness can change. You might think making a million dollar is your goal, but in 10 years time perhaps a million might be spare change in Singapore and won't even get you a HDB (public housing).

For me, it has always been this message to myself - "Carpe Diem" because life's too short to have regrets, so be contented, be all that you can be. What's yours?
