Life is Fragile: Remembering Steve Irwin and James Kim.



It is very easy to get carried away in the daily hustle and bustle of life in the fast lane. We work, we have our families, we have priorities, we worry about having enough to pay for the things we need to live on ..... we pray, we hope and we wish that sometimes there is more to life than always being in a perpetual rat race.

Steve Irwin and James Kim passed away in 2006 due to very different accidental circumstances. Steve Irwin, the famous Australian environmental preservationist, a man who loved his family, the wildlife and nature, was killed by the barb of a stingray while filming in shallow waters off the coast of Australia. James Kim, a CNET technology editor, and former TechTV staff, died in the woods of the Oregon forest when he wandered out searching for help. James, his wife Kati, and 2 young daughters, were on a roadtrip during the Thanksgiving holidays. On the way back to San Francisco, they mistakenly took a wrong path and ended up stranded. They were resourceful and managed to stay warm together for more than a week, until their car ran out of gas. Kati and their 2 daughters stayed with the car and was eventually rescued by volunteers and authorities. James was found dead a few days later despite the unwavering effort put forth by all parties.

We should all learn to live with uncertainty and to live a life with legacy, as the both of them have lived. Be generous with the time you have in this world, be generous with your kindness and give others a chance to remember you positively with your good deeds.

Rest In Peace, Steve and James.
