Come across this song, “Over the Rainbow”, which is beautifully sung by the very talented six-year old Connie Talbot. It is so touching.  I listened to it twice, and each time I was in tears.  Just couldn’t help it.

I would like to dedicate this song and lyrics to those who have lost confidence and direction, or are struggling with some hard issues in life.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true

Some day I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops, that’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why, then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why, can’t I?

I remember it was only about eight years ago, in 2001 when the I.T. bubble burst.  It was the lowest point of my life.  My entire day-trading had turned from a sheer victory to a complete fiasco in only a matter of days.  I was driven from heaven to hell.  I lost a lot of money, but most importantly, I lost my confidence in myself, and direction.  I can still feel the pain and emptiness.  I paid a big price, and the only thing I could do was to promise myself that I must learn the lesson.

There might be times in life that we fall badly.  What is important is to stand up and move on.  Every cloud has a silver lining.  Somewhere out there is a rainbow waiting for you and me.  I often remind myself that when I am at a low, it is time to get myself polished up and ready for the next high.

Live Life,  Junius.
