KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

That's the theme of 'Meet the Robinsons', that I watched on the airplane a few months back. I love the show. It's the best animation I've ever watched, and I can remember every scene. I don't understand the fascination with Finding Nemo, just some lost fish lah. Nothing beats THIS ONE. So cute, fresh, inspiring and memorable. And I've got those 3 words stuck in my head since then.

I have a thing for pictures, movies and songs that keeps urging you to MOVE ON. That inspires without being too emo, like the chinese word 'sa tuo'. Like Move Along by The All American Rejects. I think it's because I have a tendency to wallow in self-pity a lot. I get nostalgic about things that happened, things I could have made better, but somehow what I have now and will have in the future will always be better. Don't ask me why, but it's a track record and pattern. I totally believe the adage that everything gets better as time passes.

Wounds heal, you mature, things that don't last fall away, even friends get closer, and you become a better person. You'll always be a better person than the 'you' 6 months ago, 3 years ago, etc'.

The darkest hour comes just before the dawn and by then you'd have already evolved. We are much more brilliant than we know.

I think it's a positive thing to be always thinking of what we could have been and what we could have done because only when you feel that will you have the drive to better yourself. And I agree that we're all more brilliant than we think we are and YOU are BRILLIANT! : )

actually, finding nemo (or in your words, the LOST FISH show) also has some brilliance in the fact that you should move on.
