Once I was in the car with my two brothers, CH and CW. We were looking at the GPS to find our way. CH who had brought back this new GPS from Australia was explaining to CW, the driver how good and "intelligent" this new GPS was.
"Whenever you make a mistake and fail to follow its instruction, it would search quickly to direct you to another new route. You are "switched" back on the "right path" almost instantly. The old GPS is not as intelligent; it will signal you to make a U-turn each time you make a wrong turn, really hopeless......" said CH.
It might be just some general remarks on the "GPS's" , but somehow the part on "U-turn" set me thinking. I learnt an invaluable lesson.
Life is like a journey on a one-way street with many small lanes branching off from it. As we travel along we are bound to make mistakes; we might enter the wrong path; we might be drifted afar from the right track. How we wish there's a U-turn somewhere for us to turn back .... . But just too bad, there is No U-turn in this journey! So it's no point look back to the past with regrets or hope to find a U-turn back to the same path like the old GPS.
Lesson from the new GPS : Waste no time to take on a new path which leads to our destinations rather than keep harping on the mistakes in the past.
