It doesn't quite hit home until the people around you go away unexpectedly...

As a child, I always thought I was invincible to all the bad things in the world. I thought I would never be in any danger at any time. I always pretend death is just something they use in stories to scare little kids to be careful.

Then an accident happened when I went out with college friends, and a friend passed away on that trip. Then I realize, like many others, I am vulnerable to the many dangers in the world just like the rest of people. I learned to cherish the people around me and my experience with them while they are around me. Otherwise I know I will regret it when they disappear before I have a chance to do so.

You may or may not get along with everyone in your journey of life, but try to focus on the positive part of the experience with them. Life is too short to spend time to hate, envy, and resent people around you.

Nick, I’ve always been inspired by the passion you have every time you post in the CD forum. No one can post quite like you, and I thank you for that experience. I will always remember you.
