Melbourne is forecasted to reach 38° maximum today. Bush fire warning has been alerted throughout the state of Victoria. People are advised to keep themselves hydrated and stay indoor if necessary. However, I won’t be surprised to find the evening news reported some mishaps happen at the beach where people would be suffered from heat stroke, this is no joke as it could be fatal.
A lot of us constantly putting ourselves in danger deliberately even though we are fully aware of the risk prior. People are complaining about how their freedom have been taken away from them when they didn’t even try to comply with the safety rules in place. In a not so serious situation, how often we found ourselves cursing inside our car while stuck in the traffic jam even though we know that would be the case if we chose to drive in that direction at that particular time?
Unfortunate things do happen which are not due to our fault and we have no control over them. But, we can reduce the unhappy incidents in our lives significantly by making the right choices. A lot of people suffered from poor health in our modern fast paced lifestyle. But is it really unavoidable? We can choose to have healthy diet and lifestyle but most of us just waste too much time on social media or binging on Netflix. Entertainment is good when we need to have some break but it cannot be let to take over our lives. Sadly, most have allowed their lives to be completely determined by which movies they should watch in the evening.
One of my favourite dialogue of all time from a movie is in Lord of The Ring when the wizard Gandalf advises the Hobbit Frodo: “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Such a powerful advice to give especially when someone has doubt about themselves! Don’t take things for granted, GOD gives us this moment for a reason. Start making good use of this gift and stop wasting our lives on unnecessary and sometimes dangerous activities.
Stay safe in this scorching heat.
气象预测墨尔本温度今天将达到38 °。全维多利亚州都已被视为火灾重区。建议人们多喝水,必要时呆在家里别出门。但是,如果今晚新闻报道有人在海滩上发生不幸事件或中暑,我不会感到惊讶。
即使我们事先已充分意识到风险,许多人还是会不断将自己置于危险状况之中。
确实世界上有很多不幸的事情是我们无法控制的。但是,很多时候在通过做出正确的选择,我们可以大大的减少我们生活中一些不开心的事。我们现代的快节奏生活中,许多人都因身体不好而遭受痛苦。但这真的无法避免吗?我们可以选择健康的饮食和生活方式,但我们大多数人却大多时间浪费在社交媒体上,或者在Netflix看一部接一部的戏。我们千万不能让娱乐占据了我们的生活。
我最喜欢的电影对话之一是在《魔戒》中,巫师甘道夫(Gandalf)和霍比特人Frodo的一番对话:“我们所要做的就是决定如何处理我们所拥有的时间。” 千万不要认为每件事情都是理所当然的,上帝给我们这一刻是有原因的。我们要开始善用这份礼物,停止浪费我们的生命在不必要或者危险的活动上。
