I was planning to go London to watch Michael Jackson perform soon – since I was a kid, it’s always my dream to see him live but I could never afford it.
Unfortunately, Michael has now left us all forever, however, his music will continue to live.
(Michael Jackson – In his early days…)
Regardless of whether you like Michael or not as a person, we cannot deny that he has touched millions of people all around the world.
If you think an actor has done a good job entertaining people, then Michael would be #1.
And whether you know or not, Michael’s movement like “Heal The World” concept has created awareness of saving our planet and humanity– because he has so many fans, they’re willing to hear Michael’s message. Lastly, I believe Michael has helped to raise fund for many non-profit and charity organizations all around the world.
Now, not everyone likes Michael Jackson and that’s understandable.
Today, when Michael left us – many of us suddenly remembered him. And I believe (I could be wrong), even those who ridicule him will stop.
His music will be ‘alive’ again.
BUT WHY WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO BE APPRECIATED?
If you want to treat someone well, treat him/her now.
If you want to stop ridiculing someone, stop it now.
If you want to stop being angry with someone, stop it now.
If you want to appreciate something, appreciate it now before it’s gone.
If you want to make someone happy, do it now.
Heck, if you want to make yourself happy, DO IT NOW.
Even if nobody dies, time passes so fast and within a blink of an eye, everything changes. I know, it’s scary so don’t take things for granted. I’m not just telling you, I’m telling myself because I’ve been taking things for granted too.
Michael Jackson, rest in peace. You have my respect for your talent, contributions and your heart to ‘heal the world’.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you, “Heal The World”…
Michael Jackson Heal The World Clinton Gala 1992:
I was looking forward to Michael Jackson\\\’s gigs in London but this will be no more.
I wish his family, friends and fans well during this sad period of both mourning and celebration of the passing of a legend.
Thanks.
Micheal touched our hearts in many ways and we want to thank him for taking the time to contribute to make this world a better place. His music will always live on. Rest in peace Micheal
A legendary star and singer has left us forever but his good deed towards the world will be praised and complimented forever.
Kind words and I agree with them. I even built a site once called Heal the World, inspired by Michale Jason’s song, of course.
Still, I wonder about his life choices with his skin, his marriages and those kids. I suppose stars get our admiration for the things that inspire us, whether they are perfect or not.
A great person, a fantastic rags to riches story that inspires many. MIcheal showed that you cant have to hurt people, cheat or steal to make it, you just have to have a dream, a vision, and act to make it real. A truely beautiful person with a big heart and even when people tried to exploit him or destroy him he was big enough to continue spreading love peace and joy
I love you Micheal, I didnt realise that until now.
Say hi to my mum and brother up there
He deserves nothing but respect, warm thoughts and are utmost appreciation. May he rest now… he’s deserved it.
I grew up listening and dancing to Michaels music, always enjoyed his heart felt giving to the world, and appreciated his awesome talent, he always seemed to be fully present in all he did, he is home now!May peace be unto him and his family!
Hi Patric, I only got this news from your email few minutes ago and was surprised. Nothing is really permanent in this world…except “CHANGE”. You are right, when you say “don’t wait till he/she a person before you appreciate him/her”.
Its better to do it now while they are with you. Sooner or later, we don’t know when, they may be gone. May MJ rest in peace. I am sure The world is mourning for his lost.
Hi All,
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Even when I was young (just like Kathleen), I always try to do his ‘moonwalk’.
Thanks for leaving your comments here.
Cheers
Patric Chan

I don’t believe it when the first time I heard it from my friend…but it\’s the reality of life every single life must end up with the death…
You are always in here my heart…since I\’m little kid…I love all your songs…I can feel your pain…I can see through your eyes…
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson.
From your beloved Malaysia No. 1 Fan
Great post Patric,
I grew up watching Michael Jackson and imitating his dance moves.
He provided us with some great performances over the years and I too wish I could have seen him perform in person.
You cannot help stopping to watch whenever you see videos of him performing on the television screen.
I will truly miss him.
Patric,
Thanks for your sharing on this post.
I agree with what you’ve said, especially on this:
“WHY WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO BE APPRECIATED?”
I did cry (in my heart) and pain when I first know about this news.
Let’s continue his passion..
Let’s “HEAL THE WORLD…”
Peace and Love,
Tanady
It’s a great lost to the world.
yeah, he has done something good to world with his talent
Michael Jackson has nothing but my genuine admiration and utmost respect.He was not afraid to reach for the stars and he succeeded.In some people\’s opinion,he didn\’t know how to cope with many things such as his skin color and some aspect of his behavior.Yet,he dealt with all the issues in the best possible manner,I believe.Anyway,all those peculiarities are what made him so special.He lived a
short life,but he influenced the world with his work.
May he rest in peace.
Michael Jackson heal our soul with his music . Your music will always live on. Rest in peace Michael.
Patric,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Michael and on expressing love and appreciation NOW. Michael lives on in his music, his good works and in the many lives he touched in positive ways. May we all use his example to Heal the World and make it a better place in whatever ways we have the capacity to do each day.
Sandra
Thank you. have a blessed day. This is tearful.
Michael had plans for a world tour, but his maker had a better plan for him and his maker -
Allah The Almighty\\\’s plan is a better plan and it works.
MJ is nice icon but the plastic surgery killed him…
Heal ur SouL…
I\’m sitting and crying…
I\’ve just finished reading a chapter of Five Wishes by Gay Hendricks and instead of starting to answer the question: Why my life is not absolutely successful? I came up to my computer to check my e-mail…
And I had my internal voice asking: Why are you trying to escape to answer this simple question again? And I said to myself: I need to find one more evidence that this question is really important… And here is the news…
Feeling sorry for Mickle we feel sorry for ourselves at the same time…
He was strong enough to live his own life and achieved what he wanted to achieve. And what about you? – I ask myself. Do YOU really live your life and achieve what you want and can?
Thank you Mickle for making me go and answer very simple but very difficult question about myself and what I can give to this world…
Thank you Patrick for taking the time to be human and not just another greedy marketer like so many of the other so called GURUS out there. Micheal was a tremendously blessed individual who gave a great deal more to this world than he got back. It\’s funny how now that he is gone all those media types who were so quick to overlook all the good he did are now jumping on the bandwagon. Rest in peace Micheal in the comforting arms of God.
Hi Patric,
I\\\’ve heard the news too,that the reality of life.
Everything that has a begining be it good or bad must have an end, the world has a begining, it\\\’s going to have an end, you\\\’ve had a begining you\\\’re going to have an end. Read 1 Peter 1 V24 it says:
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
May the Lord himself comfort the Jackson\\\’s family
in this moment of pain and great lost.
God bless.
Michael was great. We will all miss him dearly.
I am still reeling from the news. Thank you Michael for touching my life and being the soundtrack of my youth. There will never be an entertainer of your caliber ever. I am sad that your childhood was stolen from you and that your traumatic upbringing led ultimately to your isolation and apparent lack of self love as evidenced by the mask you made of your face. You are a sweet and gentle spirit who will live on in the hearts and minds of all who loved him. In the words of Don McLean…\’this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you..\’
Yes as a young boy i remember trying to do his jigs but when i grew up i didn\\\’t like him because he wanted to prove God wrong by trying to change his skin color. Even Bob Marley sang a song about him ( Buffalo Soldier in the Huts of America).
Always appreciate what God made you to be. Yes he also had a noble cause during his life time by bringing musician together to sing for the famine stricken Ethiopia in 1984 in \\
The guy was a kid raping weirdo, the world is now a better place without him in it
Screw the sappy songs.
thank you, patric…thank you, michael, for the beautiful music and ideals…i am sorry that personal weakness would hurt anything good that you were trying to say and i realize we all need and deserve forgiveness…may anyone you have hurt find peace…may only the TRUTH be said about you now…and may the angels help you find healing in your soul…michael, your music is a tribute to who you truly are in your highest self and it will speak volumes for you and for us, forever….your Higher Spirit is a great and mighty one…THANK YOU.
Hi Patric,
Great Post! When I first saw the news on Yahoo early this morning. My first reaction is… “What A Waste!” We just lost another great talent in this world!
I do miss his dance moves, although I’m not a big fan of him.
Rest in peace Michael!
Great sharing, Patric!
Your sharing awaken me to live in NOW. There is nothing more important than living fullest Now..!
I will miss Michael Jackson for his contribution & influences that bring to the world…
Rest in Peace, MJ..
Andrew
Beautiful Soul…. move forward to a better place where the world has now been left with the brilliance of your beauty and can no longer touch nor phase you with scorn. God Blessed this world with the intensity of you Michael and you will forever remain in our Hearts never to be forgotten.
Michael, I remember the words of “Gone Too Soon.” Was that song about you too? Gone, but you will live on inside my heart.
You shared a birthday with my baby brother and I look somewhat like your sister.
We all loved you. I watched you sing one of our folk songs and tap the cow bell. Great work while entertaining.
Rest In Peace Mike.

I can remember listening to his music on tapes on
a very old walkman when I was 8 or 9. I was very
sad to hear of his death and will always remember
him for his music.
RIP Michael

Patric,
Thank you so much for putting into words what so many of us feel in our hearts.
Whether people are/were a fan of Michael Jackson or not, is unimportant, because no-one can deny that they were touched through his music at one time or another and that through his incredible talent and charisma he helped us understand that we have a responsibility to make the world a better place.
I hope that each of us Internet Marketers understands, as it was said in Spiderman: \
Michael Jackson understood music, songs and dance and he mastered the art of communication with music dance and songs.
I can say he made a significant contribution to mankind, making life that much more enjoyable.
It would be good if MJ can communicate with his body the way he communicate with the world, giving it the personal care and attention it needs.
