Love him unconditionally.

Farijah has been in love with her European boyfriend for almost three years. She claimed non of the Malaysian males she had met so far in her life could be better than her current lover. He is romantic, loving, caring, kind and love her so much. I was a bit jealous and upset when she told me that, because she said Malaysian man makes lousy mates. She could be blind herself, as she never knew there was one perfect ideal man always stood in front of her and yet she did not notice at all. Ayoh! Thats Robert Foo lah!

Life is always unpredictable. Farijah had a confrontation with her boyfriend when they were discussing on spiritual belief. Although he came from different nationality, race and culture, he is prepared to accept all changes and adjustment but on the spiritual belief it was a very sensitive issue. Over their long term marriage plan, he refused to be converted to her faith. Out of anger and frustration, the lady left the man the next day with a broken heart.

By chances we met recently and i could see her sorrow and unhappiness through her voice and eyes. With my confidence approaches, she revealed her aching heart to my listening ears. In short, i related to her the three forces of life. They are Spiritual, Knowledge and Wisdom. She was intelligence with knowledge but lacking in spiritual and wisdom. Knowledge alone could bring arrogance and self esteem which might be rejected by those whom she encounter. If only she has wisdom, she could be wiser and be more thoughtful to her partner. A wisdom person could understand the spiritual path clearer too. Unless she is wise, she would never win her man again.

I am glad Farijah took my advices. This morning she sent me this message; "Hi dear, so you are still in Singapore. Just wanting to tell you that 'Talk" we had in your office about using wisdom has impacted me so much. I realised how much and how badly i need love in my life. I got it from Rxxxxxx and i am not willing to live a life that's so lifeless... Worst of it to throw it away. So i used my wisdom, spiritual then knowledge to reach this path of making the best of what i have. I started to have nice feeling yesterday and i am so happy he feels the same too. A big hug for you dear, luv you and thank you very much for being there for me."

I could hear her happy voice and i know she is in love again.

To my dear Farijah - “The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.” - Brian Tracy quote

We have to teach our young to be creative.

Last week wasn't a pleasant one. Emotionally i went out off track, and while trying to regain my composure and the confidence to write again, i drove down all the way to Singapore. In fact i hadn't seen my son and his family for quite awhile. It would be nice to meet my three little brothers again, i mean my three grand children. All of them call me by 'Kor Kor'', meaning in Chinese is big brother. I knew they would love to see me for sure.

It was school holiday there, and i had the opportunity to take these little boys out. We walked in the parks, we yelled aloud as we like, and had food together. I brought along this special t-shirt printed as; "Still Young & Crazy After All These Years."

As usual kids are kids, they are always be attracted to toys and games, especially when they saw the children departmental stores at those shopping malls. The children would be eyeing on those expensive toys and their mother would be saying 'No' to them.

I told my little brothers. Though i might not buy any toy for you, i would create and make some for you. We were given many promotional pamphlets while window shopping at the malls. From those unused quality papers, i turned them into paper aeroplane of all shapes and kind. They were excited because these planes could fly if they were thrown into the open. They were playing with self made toys rather than buying the real one. Yes! Modern kids are intelligence but not smart to create their own playing things. Perhaps the new world has gone too advance when children need not have to think like the yesterday world of ours. I was glad my grand children had the chance to think while learning the art of paper making of aeroplane with me.

This short trip was benefiting, when i could recharge and rejuvenate myself once more. At the same time allowing me to teach my little brothers to utilize their mind in the creative way rather than by logical senses. Our left mind is logical, whereas the right has all the creativeness. They are intelligent children but i am sure they would be smart as well in the long run.

While ending my story here, its timely Panja the wisdom friend sent me a powerful proverb. He wrote; "The contented man who possesses nothing owns the world."

The other side of CHINA.

Photo 1: Together, through Warm and Cold

Beyond the northern ( Inner Mongolia ) frontier, spring has arrived but the
cold weather lingered on. Snow fell on this April morning. Flakes danced
in the sky. A middle-aged man tended to his cart, on which sat a little
boy, wrapped up with blanket used to keep the vegetables from freezing.
From time to time, the father would tuck at the blanket to make sure that
his son was all right. These are the words from the photographer: "Set in
the dark and shadowy background and the dancing snow flakes, the pink
puffy face of the little boy stood out in great contrast to that of the
father which was apparently shaped by the caprices of life. And life was
indeed harsh. Father and son only have each other for support. When the
father yelled out a sales pitch on top of his voice, his facial expression
was shockingly touching. One cannot help but be moved."


Photo 2: Love

The father and his son live in an impoverished hilly area. They demand
nothing but a piece of land to call their own. Perhaps they will not have
a chance to see the outside world all their lives -- they will not know
what a staircase is, they will never ride in a taxi, nor will they ever
step into a movie theater. But the truth is these are the people who offer
us everything our lives depend on, generation after generation. The heaven
and earth have nothing to repay them. Love them!

Photo 3: Grandpas' Tears

(Caption on the photo: That day, we found that we were able to attend
school. We were so happy. But grandpa cried. Do you understand? The tears
of an elderly man...) This semester has been dealt with, what about the next?

Your elderly mother and little children are waiting for you to come home
with the day's wages.

Photo 5: Old Man Crying

The old man sells roast yam for a living. Because he doesn't have a
license, his tools were confiscated and his tricycle was smashed, its
chain cut. All the old man can do is to sit there and cry. How is his tomorrow.?

Mothers and their children. This is life.

Photo 7: Coal Carrier

Wang Zhizhong worked as a coal carrier. Carrying a basket of coal
weighting 40kg (88 lb), he made his way up a 100m deep mine, and then
walked a distance of 1000m along a mountainous track. For each trip, he
made 1RMB (0.125 USD). He was 17.

Photo 8: I want to go to school

Caption on the photo: That day the English teacher arrived in our village.
She taught us our very first sentence in English: "I want go to school."

Did you hear it? It is a most heart-moving cry.

Photo 9: Care for those forgotten

We must admit that there are people still living within the blind spot of
our society. What if you were one of them?

Photo 10: Spirit to live

No rose, no diamond ring, but if this is not love, what is love?

With enthusiasm, love your life! Love the people around you!

Note :These photographs express emotions, thoughts and beliefs more starkly and sublimely than any words can. I hope some of them will touch you and leave a lasting impression …

COMPLEXITY OF WOMEN!

I like this story shared by another wisdom friend Panja....

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer when all of a sudden he said aloud, "Lord grant me one wish". The sky clouded and a booming voice said, "Because you have tried to be faithful I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want to".

The Lord answered, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time to think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me".

The man thought for a long time and finally said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know what they feel inside , what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy?"

God took a deep breath and said, "YOU WANT TWO LANES OR FOUR ON THAT BRIDGE???"

Food for thought - "A foolish man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely beautiful when her lips are closed."

One Minute Wisdom.

Funny Love Quotes - "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."- Albert Einstein.

Yes! This Quote strikes Deng Deng who wrote on the comment; "How long is the one minute? This might depend on either you are in side the toilet or you are outside the toilet."

Deng Deng is right. The one minute inside the toilet is long, whereas the outside one minute is terrible to withhold, when you could not locate one toilet.

Depending on how we apply our one minute time, the one minute sometime could be used to our advantages in life. In all my sales, i won't allow myself to proceed into the actual sales presentation which might take hours, unless i start with the one minute sales question first. My one minute sales could begin with an exciting and interesting question thrown to my listeners, "Do you have a million dollar in your account? If you don't, i have a simple way to create one for you. May i have one hour of your time to show it to you?"

To an inexperience young man who intends to date a pretty lady he likes, he has to try all ways and effort to win over her before she says a 'Yes!'. He needs much time to earn the one minute acceptance 'Yes'. Whereas a naughty wise man like me has to spend only one minute with this special lady who might be too willing to spend hours with me later. On seeing her i say, "My dear, you have two beautiful happy eyes. The eyes have a pathway which links to our heart where all loves reside. I can see so much of your heart through your eyes. If only you allow me to date you for a dinner, i will tell you all your passionate love from your heart."

For my readers who just merely took one minute to read this title, but it took me more than one hour to write this simple content and it took me a life time to acquire the Knowledge and Wisdom, so that i could Zen and share them with you. The One Minute Wisdom has to be earned in life.

ANTHONY DE MELLO S.J. said....
"Is there such a thing as One Minute Wisdom?"
"There certainly is,"said the Master.
"But surely one minute is too brief?"
"It is fifty-nine seconds too long."

Law of the Garbage Truck

A story shared by one of my childhood friend, Tan Chan Keow...

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage truck. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right.

Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Have a very nice and wonderful day!!!

Keep your motor running.

HAVE A LAUGH WITH THE OLD MOTOR ...

The marriage of an 80-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman was the talk of the town.

After being married a year, the couple went to the hospital for the birth of their first child. The attending nurse came out of the delivery room to congratulate the old gentleman and said, 'This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?' The old man grinned and said, 'You got to keep the old motor running.'

The following year, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their second child. The same nurse was attending the delivery and again went out to congratulate the old gentleman. She said, 'Sir, you are something else. How do you manage it?'

The old man grinned and said, 'You gotta keep the old motor running.'

A year later, the couple returned to the hospital for the birth of their third child. The same nurse was there for this birth also and after the delivery, she once again approached the old gentleman, smiled, and said, 'Well, you surely are something else! How do you do it?'

The old man replied, 'It's like I've told you before, you got to keep the old motor running.'

The nurse, still smiling, patted him on the back and said: ......
Well, I guess it's time to change the oil. .....
This one's black.
