You jump, i jump!

This is a drawing which affected me deeply. It is a simple drawing which illustrates Kierkegaard's "Leap of Faith". I first saw it about one or two months ago in Philosophy class, and even till now, i am still very much in awe with this drawing. The leap of faith. What is the leap of faith? Well, we all need a leap of faith in all aspects of our life, whether or not we are aware of it. It might be religion, friendship, trust, or even love. Everything that matters or everything we go through, we go through it only by taking a leap of faith. Honestly, knowledge, evidence and logic can only bring us that far. No matter how we want to be able to predict the future or how carefully we plan, the future will always be unknown. There will be no sure way of guaranteeing that the future will turn out as planned. Therefore, in whatever we do, we are taking a leap of faith. We need to take a leap of faith. Sometimes, it pays off. Other times, it doesn't. But one thing's for sure, whatever might happen will never happen if we do not take a leap of faith. Yes, we might fail, but at least we tried, right? Always easier said than done.

Oh, remember how i gave home tuition last year? My tuition students did me proud! =) They called me and woke me up from my sleep this morning to tell me the news. They both gotten As!! So proud of them! =) =) =)
