It is no simple matter to decide who are the more fortunate – those to whom life give all, or those who have to give all to life. A fulfilled life is not necessarily one constructed strictly in accordance with one’s own blueprint; it can be a glorious collage of materials that have come unexpectedly to hand. How wonderful it is that we do not know what tomorrow will bring. – Aung San Suu Kyi
I loved to copy down meaningful sayings and quotes when young. As I was flipping through and reading the sayings this evening, I came across this and I love the philosophical saying by Aung San Suu Kyi. Researching, I found that she has spoken these words during an interview with Alberto G. Romulo in 1997. We must remember that during that time she was still under house arrest, so it was admirable of her to be sanguine about her own circumstances.
While finding out more about Aung San Suu Kyi’s sayings, I also came across a thought-provoking blogpost by Mr Thomas Chua from Malaysia that I would like to share here.
