It is not over until Mother Nature says it is over

It is not over till the fat lady sings.

It is not over till I say it is over.

This morning I listened to a video by Amitabh Bachan- the legendary Indian actor.

“If things happen the way you wish, that’s good; but if they don’t it is even better.”

Straight away my mind went to my ordeals with my former Lions Club.

My Lions episode could have been resolved:

i.                      At individual level when Lion Horace Ho Toh Chee requested for make- up meetings but was turned down by Lion Thomas Ho Thau Phin.

ii.                   When Lion Horace Ho drafted the Whatsapp message for PDG John SF Ho and myself to accept and make peace but Lion John refused.

iii.                  When I requested Lion Thomas Ho for a coffee meeting to resolve the matter amicably.

iv.                 When the Past President Council met and I accepted to sign the ‘peace treaty’ and even apologise but Lion Thomas did not as he did not get the Okay from Lion John Ho.

v.                   When we had the Board Meeting and if I was not interrupted by Lion John’s wife who was not even a member.

vi.                 If just one member was daring enough to ask Lion Thomas to shut-up and let me speak at that Board Meeting.

vii.                When Dr. Arabi Wazani had a meeting with me a short few days before the EGM and I accepted to move on with no pre-conditions but Lion John Ho refused to accept.

viii.              If DG Eve Wong was daring enough to follow Lion Internationals instruction to appoint a conciliator.

ix.                 If just one of the numerous PDG’s including the VDG Pelly Lee were daring enough to hold a meeting with me and Lion John Ho with a view to settling the problem amicably.

x.                   If LCI had kept their words and appointed a conciliator like they said they would if DG Eve Wong fails to appoint a conciliator.

xi.                 It would have ended if the police had done their job but for some reason did not.

xii.                If ROS had suspended the club when the response from the individual, representing the club, was not satisfactory.

xiii.              If Lion Visvalingam Suppiah had thought of the reason why I telephoned him and told him that acceptance of suspension of club, under the section 13 (2) order given by ROS, would be the best alternative.

I am sure there are other points to add to the list above. But, I think Mother Nature has not intervened because she is waiting for something better for me.

Now that I have finished my busy period and having written my books I am free to continue with my quest - to dare where the brave dare not go.....

 

Please listen to the video by Amitabh Bachan.
