Some Travel Notes..

As of today It's my 3rd day in Vegas Baby! and Im typing this from my uncle's computer. Yesterday we saw the grand canyon by an air tour and my, it was such a humbling and amazing sight.

However what amazes me more is the fact that even though the grand canyon is about 2 billion years old, it took mother nature over a 6 million year period of time to create such a masterpiece. Compared to our very short lifespan as humans on earth, and the time we devote to attaining perfection in various areas of our lives, everything seems rather puny and insignificant.
Basically, I guess what I wanted to say to everyone is, if it took the all mighty mother nature (whom I frequently fight with and loathe at times) about 6 million years, yes 6,000,000 years to create such a masterpiece, how does that compare to us humans? When scaled down to our size, we should also realise that the grand canyons of our lives will also take a very long time to build. However if we keep working away at it and dedicate time and effort to something that we want, then we are most likely to succeed. We might not know when or how but with time and patience it will come! And at the end of the day, when you look back on it, you will be truly impressed and satisfied with yourself.

Moreover, the grand canyon is still evolving and changing with time, so just like that, we should also not stop once we build our canyons but keep working on them, just like mother nature in order to deliver something that is even more impressive and beautiful!

As for me today..skydiving beckons from 15,000 feet! =)

Keep building,
