Either.....Or.....


A surreal story with lots of truth in it: A woman is living a good fulfilling life: she is a university professor, she has a loving fiance and is getting married soon. After she is seemingly "almost" hit by a car, she starts getting strange visions, people who know her but whom she does not recognize, a mysterious bus that appears out of nowhere, clearly showing to be waiting for her to get aboard. She refuses to go, till she realizes that she is actually dead and the perfect life she saw herself living was the life she could have had - had she made different choices. Wow! Isn't that interesting? She had been afraid of daring, she had never had self-confidence. She had wanted to be a professor but she remained in her waitress position. She was in love with a neighbor, but she never had the courage to show him friendliness.... She never believed that she deserved to be happy, that she could actually be happy, that she was able to make the right choices and carry them out. Isn't this the same situation of many fellow human beings? How many believe they can and  so they "do", and how many believe they cannot and therefore never achieve their dreams? Remember the famous quote "Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you are right".
