The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert.

During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one
friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything,
wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided
to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire
and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"Today my best friend saved my life."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a
stone. Why?"

The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it
down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when
someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone
where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

aww what a touching story =))
but i think what it says it's true...we should treasure our friends and family and everyone we know and remember them for the good things they've done...
and we should always treasure the time we have together so that we wont regret in the end, like when u say goodbye...=)

especially like at the end of last year where many classmates started crying and many say they regret that they didnt get to know one another better....=)
sighh
seems like so long ago....
