Look at the world before it passes by
When I went to school last week, I was amazed by the sight of the beautiful blossoms on the Flame tree outside the school entrance. It obviously didn't just move there overnight, so I realised I have been walking too fast, and spending too little time looking at the surroundings.
I think most Hongkongers are in such a hurry going to school or work they never slow down and look at the world around them. We miss the simple pleasures, like admiring the beautiful flowers along the street, and smelling their fragrance.
We miss out on the chance to improve our mood. Imagine actually smelling the scent or hearing birdsong on the way to school or work. Wouldn't it make you feel better than focusing on the noise of vehicles or inhaling exhaust fumes?
We should not overlook the joys of nature. So people should slow down - if only for 15 minutes - and enjoy what is going on around them.
Look around you and consider exploring more. And do it before it is too late, or you will miss things like tree blossoms and other eye-catching scenery that are seasonal.
