"Self sacrifice"

About a week ago, A Malaysian student died while saving a woman from drowning in Australia...He risked his own life to save a life of another...The meaning of the words Courage, Bravery and Self-Sacrifice is reflected in his actions. My condolences to the family but be proud as your son gave his life for a noble cause.

Sometimes in our life we have to make choices where we have put the happiness or safety of others above ourselves, so what would be the correct choice to make.....It would be prudent of me to say that "self-sacrifice" is the only answer But this is not the only answer,I'm sorry for being so negative but over the years I have learnt that being a good guy is not always the best choice. The good ones always suffer but the people that make the smart choices are the one that benefit from every situation. I did not use the term Bad ones is because I'm a staunch believer of "karma", I believe what goes around comes around.....Yeah like the song...So those that that do bad things...U WILL PAY...SOONER OR LATER....But i wont deny those who do bad things do enjoy but remember that's only temporary as the day of repayment will arrive. How do i know? because i have had my fair share of repayments...hehe.....

Now lets compare "self-sacrifice" and being selfish...its a question of much much you care for yourself and how strong are your morals...so different people will have different opinions on what do to in a particular situation...i would say 50% of people will choose self-sacrifice and another 50% will choose the option of being selfish...Now would i call those people that choose the selfish option of being bad...If they brought pain to others then yes...but if they didn't,then only the outcome of their decision will be the deciding answer...at the end of the day when we are faced with such a situation we may never know what choice we will make...you will be surprised with your decision at that moment...and you will learn a lot about yourself...Such situations are not only limited to saving the life of another but it also appears in your career and personal life...

For me...I have always found making decision that i know that's the best for everyone and not hurting others is always the best..but its not easy...so that's why i have to keep on reminding myself and sharing it with others...hehe...I have to practise what i preach right?
