The extra Degree
Came across this book entitled 212° The Extra Degree online. The basic idea, as quoted by the author was "At 211 degrees...water is hot.At 212 degrees...it boils.And with boiling water, comes steam.And steam can power a locomotive.And, it's that one extra degree that...Makes all the difference."
The extra degree, the extra effort, the extra second, the extra mile......Truly agree, its the small little extra, which seems insignificant, that can make a whole load of difference... : )
Yesterday, mummy and I were watching a repeated Channel 8 Tv series. The husband and wife was having a quarrel which led on to a serious misunderstanding. The couple's daughter needed a blood marrow transfer. However, the husband was blaming the wife for aborting their child, if not a transfer might be possible for their daughter. Unknown to the husband, the wife never went for any abortion. However, at the moment, she was blinded by her inner anger and disappointment towards her husband mistrust and bad attitude. So, both parted angrily.One left denied of the truth, the other left with regrets for sealing up the truth..
Mummy said:"那个要吵,另外一个不就站在那边听咯......1分钟后,他吵完后,她再解释,不就什么问题都没有了。"
One minute, One Degree, One more attempt, One more chance.........
什么叫“命运”?或许,就是由这些看似微小的东西所造就的。
