Long time ago, there was...

...once that Don started a small teaching career in a hut (so dramatic!) at a suburb to this small lil girl. Slowly, her other sister was joining the class and Don was only in his teens. They performed extraordinarily superb (if such words exist..) and people started going around and spreading words. I have to admit that Don'd got alot of credits for their achievements. Then people started coming to Don as if he was doing wonders to their children, in fact he was just an ordinary high school kid.

13 years down the line (ok, go do the maths) , Don bumped into her blog again, and this article was blogged in 2007! Don wouldn't have seen this but it just appeared when he did misclick on the bar. There goes his name, a mention to credit. That for once, he played a role in someone's life (er..over exaggerated).

He is proud, not because of her academic achievements, but because he'd planted a seed (metaphorically dramatization) in her, and the seeds have spreaded far away into many other hearts. Many people argue, "why change something so hard when you know it wont change".

But you will never notice that a big tree actually comes from a small seed, and a thousand steps come from one small step. I give you this seed today, and with the wind's will, then it will spread to a distance you'll never expect.

Girl, you still have a long way to go... but keep up the good job!

PS: I may sound philosophical but that doesn't make me a "datuk" hehe...
