Looking back, one can see how time used to go so slowly. 

All remember sitting in a dreadful and boring class not listening to the teacher drone on and on and on about subjects that are not interesting at all (algebra). 

As the years went by, can the realization that perception of time is subjective. 

Father Time - Land Of The Rising Son

Many years ago now, waiting for the day, to take my first flight to Japan, waiting and waiting for the departure day.

This is an example of time moving very slowly.

Inevitably the departure day arrived over 3 decades ago now. 

Waiting for the day my first child was to be born.

Waiting and waiting for that day, and then that day came went, and now this boy has become an outstanding man.

Always grateful for life today, and the opportunity to living in Japan.

Certainly death is something not given much thought.

Nevertheless, while not thinking about that day, it will come for certain, and it will be your turn to die, and your life will have past before you, in a blink of your eye.

If you have been waiting to do something in your own life, do so. We must live our life each day with intent and purpose; therefore, I urge your to wait no longer, because one day, for certain, it will be your turn to die.

Knock Down 7, Get Up 8

Knock Down 7, Get Up 8

Something Father did time and time again was to get back up and dust himself off after being knocked down so many times.

Something burned deep inside of him compelling him forward, no matter what, undoubtably he was a a survivor and a man of his time.

Even after the devastating blow of being sued by serial environmental polluter Chevron late in life and losing everything, he not only got back up, he never lost his sense of humour throughout the many ordeals of his extraordinary life, which included growing up in abject poverty.

Father is an exemplary example of the milk of human kindness and what it means to be resilient during hard times.

Truly, when feeling dejected and alone, all one needs to do is think of him and the extreme hardship he went through to create and build an extraordinary life for his clan.

During these profoundly changing time it is of paramount importance to fortify one’s own heart, mind, and spirit, and know inside oneself—no matter what—always get back up one more time.
