World-famous Australian "crocodile hunter" and television
environmentalist Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray
blow to the heart while filming a new documentary.
Oh My God... The world is so unfair...
I mean... he saved and protected so many animals in this
world and yet, he is killed by one of them.
This world needs more of people like him.
People should watch documentries instead of shows
like singapore idol or whatever dramas.
Haiz.... Steve really helped a lot in conservation
and protection of the animals.
I think many animals especially the crocs
are going to be so sad.
They lost a life saviour as well as someone who
brought conservation to the world.
I really hope that more children will watch
documentries and know more about this
world and not so much on games and
cartoons.
I think that many people do not know how
pathetic this world is because most of us
are living in a comfortable place.
We should go out and experience what
is the real world so that we will come to
our senses and do something productive.
We will stop wasting time in playing
games because we will realise that we are really
really very fortunate and that life is very fragile.
Imagine your life is getting shorter and you realise
that you have just wasted a lot of precious time
doing practically nothing worth remembering.
I have read about people taking drugs and
i am sure that when they grow old, they are
going to regret what they have done and wish
to start afresh but they cant, because each of
us has only one life.
Our life is a story.
Stories should be interesting and meaningful.
The pen is in your hand.
Dictionary is there to guide you
but it cannot hold your hand
and write your story.
The story is written by you.
How you start your story and how you are
ending it is up to you.
I remembered this part of an article.
Finishing the race well is not only about
working hard in school and trying to do well
but also about living our lives right.
It may not get you to the top but it has its own rewards.
It is like the Tanzanian marathoner John Stephen Akhwari
who took part in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
There is no reason to remember him as he came in last
in the 42km race.
When he entered the nearly dark Olympic stadium to complete
the last stretch, he was bloodied and his dislocated knee was
bandaged from a fall earlier in the run.
He hobbled through the final lap in the stadium, crossed the finish
line and collapsed.
When he was asked why he did not quit the race, he replied: " My country
did not send me to Mexico City to start the race. They sent me to
finish the race."
He is respected even though he was last.
