Live Positively!

I was talking with my friends, I told them I only wish to live for another 10 years after my retirement (if I really need to work until 55 years old). Then they were surprised and concluded I’m a pessimist. Really? But I thought usually I projected a very positive image to others? Or maybe I’m very selfish person, I don’t want to see people dying, especially those who are very close to me.

But of course, those who commented I’m a pessimist are close friends, so, I think maybe they are right to a certain extend too.

Then there’s a day I went to my friend – Jeff’s office and saw something interesting – a jug with a lot of colourful and attractive pieces, jug label written Live Positively!

Contents: 100 pieces of positive messages and quotations to inspire and encourage positive living.

Suggested serving: Ready to serve anytime of day. Best served one at a time. You’ll find yourself more positively energized.

I was eager to get one for a very close friend of mine and myself. Jeff’s one was a gift and the sender bought it from Popular Bookstore, later I also find it in MPH (Mid Valley). There are some other title for “Messages in a Jar” too, Live Happily, Romantic notes and … (opps… I forgot). So, I bought myself the “Live Positively” and bought my friend the “Live Happily” (I really wish you to live a happier life).

Now, I will draw a message from the jar each day before I go to work, want to know what I’ve got? I’ll share some that I like from time to time.
