Life – No Swimming Allowed In The Water

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 16 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The last 3 days I’ve been posting shots from Punggol Park in Singapore with the last two featuring the cat-tail plant which is also shown in the foreground of today’s shot.

Amongst these cat-tails there is this sign which clearly indicated that no swimming is allowed in the water.

I supposed it worked because during my whole 5 hours there, I saw no one swimming.

The water may look inviting but I suppose it must have been deep that the sign is there. Also there were no trained lifeguards to save you if you ran into difficulty. So while the sign can’t stop you from jumping into the water, heeding it can make a difference between life and no life.

I guess in life we must learn to heed the warning signs that come our way as they are there to protect us.

Tomorrow I shall post a different “no” sign with a twist. Do come by and have a look! :)

Meantime, heed the warning signs in life.
