points to ponder

I met with a friend while shopping with my brothers on Saturday.He was my friend from school,the only friend i have after all those years.we keep on contacting each other even after smk..we were quite close at school, but we were even closer now.When i was in KK for the Young Lecturers's course, we went out and talked almost about everything.
Except for some private things about his previous relationship-i dont want to pry,so i didnt really ask about that.
i like him-his attitude,his sense of humor,determination,responsible,rajin and simplicity-i never really gotten over my awe for him.i really respect him for all the things he did.we used to study math together, and in some vulnerable time, he let slipped some of his trouble.and i would start feeling sorry for him,but i dont know how i can help.so, i just kept quiet. The way he was so calm and relax about everything, was really something to learn from.he never complain about it,he mentioned it as if it was no big deal.After school, he helped out in a shop,which mean,he did not have too much times for other things.that's why i humoured him,when he stole one of my graphs for economics-knowing that he stayed up pretty late at night, slept 2-4 hours before school in the morning.Some people couldnt and wouldnt accept sympathy, so i helped the best way i know how. still, i have so much respect for his will to make life better.
he inspires deep feeling of gratitude for whatever i have in my life.although everything has been like a roller coaster,but somehow something is worth smiling over.
Steve Chandler says in his book-that life is a commitment-face it with commitment-look at it with commitment...
