Guest wozzit Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Get your facts right lah..FS sang it but it was Paul Anka who wrote it... Strictly speaking Anka only wrote the lyrics. Hed heard the song whilst on holiday in France. It was called "Comme d'habitude" n was composed by Gilles Thibault and Jacques Revaux. Theyd taken it to a French pop singer Claude Francois who recorded it in 1967. Anka completely rewrote the lyrics but kept the Francois/Thibault melody almost intact. Sinatra recorded it the following year. Whatever, its one of the great songs of all time with a great melody n wonderful lyrics. Surprisingly, tho, Sinatra came to really dislike it!

thorzguy Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The grass is always greener on the other side. If we compare ourselves to people poorer than us, then we are wealthy. If we pitch ourselves against the super rich, then we are like paupers.Apply that to the sick, the lonely, the unhappy people. We have so much well off! Cherish and appreciate whatever you have now. Want more? Strive and work hard for it. Life is never fair and easy but that's what makes us stronger and better. And before anyone think I am any better, no, I do not grow up in a complete family, ain't wealthy and right now facing some health issues; life goes on. Be happy. Remember: Some people have money; some people are rich. Your destiny is in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboard Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cant help but be a little bit sarcastic (hopefully some will find humor in it) I always tell my friend who worries about her son, don't worry, we still need people to sweep the road, but then singapore already phrased out road sweepers, but don't worry, we still need toilet cleaners. Then i will explain that the job security for those with lower education is so much higher. Job stability is a good thing for your kid, no need to worry about retrenchment, see the degree holders so many got retrenched and cannot find job. If TS need to have a different perspective, he/she can share what he's unhappy with and see if there are alternatives. The same thing i ask my friend, here's how to get the better life that you want, and here are the things you need to change, which option do you think you want to take? If they want to remain status quo, then usually will just highlight those things that are going well in their life and how to cope with the difficulties. Most people just want a listening ear, not change the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
