Never Ever GIVE UP!

Have you watched the video above? Although it looks blur, you can listen to it quite clearly.
What makes him look like the way he is today? Luck? Help from other people? Nope!


Because of his spirit, his NEVER GIVE UP spirit, he tries to get up again and again, that makes him the way he is today. If he gives up, do you think he can walk? Do you think he can do these type of performances?


It looks quite impossible to us that a person with no arms and legs can still give talks to students. But, he has proven that he can do it! Even for a person like him never give up, why should we?


We should learn his attitude. When we fall, we must get up again, never give up. Nothing is impossible unless you give up.


When we encounter problems, we can cry, but we cannot give up. Never lose hope as it is a rope that swings us through our life. The greatest mistake that we make is to give up. Life can never be easy. You will never know what will happen in the future. Only you can decide your success or failure. 


Thus, never give up!

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Positive Vs Negative Thoughts !

At times, we said: "Its hard. I can't do it!" or "Why is it got to be me! He is cleverer than me."
I used to think that I was very unlucky. When something goes wrong, I will think that why is it ME?
I used to see some of my friends said:"This type of hard thing doesn't suit me. Only XXX will do it!" or "Wah, I'm very scared. I can't do it. I'm very worry"

These are negative thoughts....


Our minds are actually an extremely powerful tool, and as you may have heard before, we only use a small portion of it every day. Our thinking has a great impact on our life. If we think positively , we will work hard for it. We will not regret in trying things. If we have a negative thoughts, we will never move forward. For example, If I think this is just one of the obstacles that I will be encounter, I can handle it. This is positive thinking. We must trust ourselves. If I think that this obstacle shouldn't appear in front of me, I'm surprise. This is negative thinking, and sadly, you will never succeed. To succeed, we need to take that gut feeling in what we believe, and act on it with all our heart. 


Thus, to succeed, we must think POSITIVEly!


So we must do our best to keep thinking that way. If you find yourself having a negative thought , please 


 STOP yourself immediately 


and change it to a positive one. Another way, is to surround yourself with positive people and stay well clear of negative ones. I'm not telling you to avoid your friends who have negative thoughts, but I'm asking you to transform your friends' mind from negative thoughts to positive ones.


Let's bring positive energy into your life together with your friends. 


A small change makes a great difference. 




                                    Let's do it together!

Everyone is GREAT!

We tend to say: "Wow, that surgeon is great, he saves human life" or "That inventor is very great, if he doesn't invent this, we will not have a better life" or "I want to be a great doctor". 


The word "great" here is referred to distinguished, famous (Mandarin:伟大).


Let's think about it. When you are in the car or walking, you can see that there are many people doing different works. They have their own work to do. 
Have you ever have these in your mind:


What if....

There is no one selling fruits, vegetables, meats in the market or beside the road?

There is no one taking away our rubbish?

There is no one sweeping the leaves and rubbish thrown by the citizens?

There is no one selling food to us?

There is no one who is willing to drive a bus to transport us?

There is no one setting stalls to sell things?

There is no one who is willing to catch fish for us to eat?


You may think that the possibilities are low. Everyone needs money. Yup, it's true. But, some parents won't want their children to follow these difficult steps. Sometimes, in a television program, you can watch how the interviewers interview fishermen, hawkers, etc.. Most of them do not want their child to follow their path. That's why they are working so hard just to let their children to have a better education. Being a fisherman going out to the sea to catch fish is a risk. I have an example. One of my relatives is a fisherman. He said that there was a guy who went out to the sea to catch fish but never come back. His family has no idea where he has gone to. Do you think a parent would want his child to take this risk?


We have the opportunity to study. Therefore, graduates will normally aim for high salary work. Some people may even look down on those workers who sweep the floor, drive a bus, collect rubbish, sell food on the roadside. Imagine, without them, what will the country become? What about us? Rubbish everywhere, no food, no vegetables, no fruits, no fish to eat, no taxi, no bus and etc....


We want a clean country, we need the rubbish collectors, workers who sweep the floor, clean the toilet, aren't they GREAT?


We want to enjoy our food anywhere, anytime, aren't the food hawkers, fisherman, farmers GREAT?


We want to have a house, who build it for us? aren't the constructors? are they GREAT?


We want to reach our destination without the need to drive, who do we need? drivers. Aren't they GREAT too?


It's just that some of them are quite unlucky. We are the lucky one. We have the opportunity to study, that's why we can aim for the professions like doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, nutritionists, engineers, inventors... Some of them are not highly educated, but this doesn't mean that they choose to be like this. That doesn't mean that when they smile to us, we must run away from them. That doesn't mean that they are not friendly to us. 
When you see a toilet cleaner, when he or she smiles, will you give them a smile showing that they are great? or you just walk off.....




What I want to emphasize is, although everyone works just to earn money, everyone is great in different perspectives. We need each other to live in this country.


We need each other to be happy,


We need each other to stay healthy,


We need each other to leave a peaceful life,


We need each other to enjoy,


We need each other to fulfill what we want...




Therefore, EVERYONE is GREAT, including YOU!

"Everyone needs help from everyone."

- Bertolt Brecht

Love can be simple, let's get TOGETHER

What can you do to show your love to your dear one? Give him or her what he or she likes? 
I would say that we can give a gift to them, but sometimes, love can be simple. The simple love may also be the best gift to your dear one.


Let's talk about the elderly people. Do you know what they need the most? Yes, money a little, but there's something which is more important than money to them. It's the atmosphere of being together. You may not need to buy those expensive stuff to please them. By staying beside them, it's even better.

What your grandpa and grandma need is the love and care from you. 
So, what can we do?


1. We can bring them out for dinner sometimes, so that they will not feel lonely.
2. We can buy some food for them to eat together with us, so that we can enjoy together.
3. We can have a drink and chat with them, so that they feel warm.
4. We can bring them out for shopping, so that they can buy what they want.
5. We can take them out for walk or travel, so that they can see the world and take a breath.
6. Tell them that you love them. ^^


They are meant to be loved, not to be abandoned. Because of them, we are what we are now. One may think that elderly people talk too much or like to scold people. But you can't blame them. As we age, we tend to be more depress and short-tempered. They talk a lot because they care for you. They also hope that you can tell them your problem (if you have any) so that you will not keep to yourself. They can be a good listener at times. They scold you sometimes because they love you. They would like you to avoid any risk that may threaten your life or take away your happiness. So, be patient with them and love them. 


LOVE your grandparents before it is too late. They also love you more than you love them. Thus, 


TREASURE THEM, give them your LOVE, 
and stay BESIDE them, 
always GATHER around with your LOVE ONES. 


Believe me, this will be the best gift that you can ever give them.

Our World

Remember these songs?

We are the world

Heal the world

The world has seen many disasters over the years. Many were caused by people - wars, terrorists. Others are sometimes referred to as "acts of God". Some natural disasters cannot be avoided and took the lives of many people.

Wars can be avoided. Why should we have war? We have everything we need. We have the opportunities to play, eat, drink and to live. Yet, some countries like to have war. Who's the victims? Citizens. They are innocent. They just want to live a peaceful life. Why should the leaders make their own citizens to suffer? War took away people's life. War causes the short of supply of citizens' needs-food, water and clothes. It's a sad thing to see that so many people are suffering.

Some natural disasters are lethal too. Just like what happen in Haiti, China, and Brazil. I feel sad for these peoples. Many of them lose their home, family, and income. If we have the chance to give these people a helping hand, let's give them the warmth. Helping people is never too late. We live in one world, just like a family. We should help each other instead of having war. Make the world a better place to live! The world is beautiful.

Everyone is SPECIAL!

I used to say: "How good if I have half of her beauty." "she is so clever." "Why am I so stupid" "Why I don't have any talent.."


Now, what I have to say is, everyone has his own characteristics, attitude, personality, behavior, interests, and etc.... One may not good in studies, but he or she may be good in other things. One may be good at studies, but may not good in other things. Therefore, in short, everyone is SPECIAL.


Nowadays, because of our education system, parents tend to send their children to go for tuition. This can actually be a good thing or a bad thing. However, some parents do not let their children to participate in extra-curricular activities. They think that studies are more important. They force their children to study a lot and at the end their children may have exam-phobia. Studies are important, but  giving your child a chance to do what he or she likes is also important. Some activities in school are very useful to them too. So, do not let them to miss a chance to discover what are their abilities. If not, the children may think that they are useless as they cannot score well in the exam. Don't tell them that getting first place in running is useless. Who knows? He may be the representative of Malaysia in Olympics for running event. Never tell your child that he or she is useless!


One will not have the same characteristics with other people. You have your own ability. It is the time that matters- whether when you know what's your ability is. Some people may have already shown their own talent. Its just that they do not realize it.

Never think yourself is worse than others!
Never think yourself is useless!
 YOU ARE SPECIAL!

Therefore, love yourself, believe in yourself, no one is same as you. Be yourself!

"Do not underestimate ourselves as man has unlimited potential."


The video below is a good song. Remember, you are a hero! 

Be flexible

It is better for us to learn to be flexible. If we are stuck, what can we do? It's easy. Just change your position.

We should allow ourselves to go with flow at times. The tendency for us, particularly as we get older, is to become stiff and rigid in our ways. However, in order to gain the benefit of every experience, imagine that yourself is a rubber ball. The rubber ball will bounce and bounce. If it hits an obstacle (wall), it will rebound. Hit a roadblock and you will find another way. Hit a valley and your next address will be a mountain top.

In this changing world, living in a state of uncontrollable control is the safest way. You will be supple in the hands of storms and grow stronger in the path of disaster: unafraid of change, undeterred by an uncertain, yet bright future. (Peter Sinclair 2003)

Dare to Try

When we were young, even though parents told us not to jump on the sofa, we did not listen to them. We were curious about what would happen and we enjoyed jumping too. So, we jumped on the sofa regardless of what the adults said. In the end, when we saw the outcome-sofa spoil or we fell down , we will only learn from mistakes.

When we were in the primary school, there were blanks for us to write about our ambition. We did not think long. We happily wrote our ambition without any fear. We wrote doctors, lawyers, teachers, drivers, pilots, and etc. We are dare to dream.

When we were young, we dare to solve our problems by trials and errors. We did not hesitate in making decisions. The decisions were made based on our intuition. We dare to speak out our needs.

But today, we always hesitate on making our decisions. We tend to afraid the path that we choose. We dare not move to the next step. We will think that, why there is no one taken this road? Should I follow other peoples? Should I be brave to face up the consequences if I take this road?

When we were young, we dare to dream. Every path that you choose have its own risk. So, follow your heart, think of what you want. Never make decision that is againsts your will.

Dare to try, dare to make mistakes and get up!

Look Forward ^^

When we fail to accomplish a task, we feel sad. When you have a sad past, you feel sad. When you have made mistakes, you feel burdened. When we see failure, we feel stupid.


In life, there are success and failure. When we encounter failure, we feel sad. Yup, its impossible for us to say that it is alright. We feel bad. But, after we cry, stand up , and move forward. Never look backward. After we found out our mistakes, just learn from it and step up. 


Some people had a miserable past. Some due to friends, some due to families. Its quite difficult for a person to forget about the past. When we are down, we will think of it, just like a recorder. Today, if we ever think of these past, let's think forward. Let's say to yourself that I will make myself happy starting from today onwards.


Believe or not, if you look forward, make yourself happy, you will be succeed.


Never look backward, look FORWARD!

LOVE ~ from Parents

We always say "I love you, Daddy & Mummy!"

Here, I just want to ask you a very simple question:

How much of love have you given to your parents? 
How much of love is enough for them?


        TO
                                                
                    Wish your mum happy mother's day?
                  or                          
Wish you dad happy father's day?

 Wish your dad and mum happy birthday and give them a present?

Love can never be enough.

My father used to said:" I love you more than you love me." Guys, what do you think?

When we eat, we go for KFC, McDonalds, Italiannies, Kenny Rogers and etc... to enjoy our food.
When our parents eat, they will choose to eat simple meals just to eliminate their hunger and gain the energy to work.

When we buy our clothes, we want to follow the trend today and the style that we like. We even go here and there just to find suitable accessories to match our clothes.
When our parents buy their clothes, they tend to hunt for the cheap ones. They just want to warm up their body so that they will not fall sick. They will think that, "If I sick, I need to take leave, my salary will be reduced", or "If I sick, I can't do my business, then I will miss the opportunity to earn money."

We sleep early because we are tired. Our parents want to sleep as much as they can because they want to save energy for tomorrow to work efficiently. Why? "So that I no need to work over time"  "So that I can spend some time at home with my children after work"  "So that I can stay at home with my family on weekends"  "So that I can bring my family out for shopping or a dinner on weekends"

When we study, We feel stress. Our parents are stress too. Firstly, they afraid that we will not be succeed in the future. Secondly, our studies need $$ ! For the first one, they afraid that our life will not be good in the future, they afraid that we can't do the things I stated above in the future. They afraid that we can't handle hardship in our future.

When we earn money, we will think of what we want to buy. But when our parents earn money, they will think of what we want to buy. When we don't have enough money to buy what we desire, we will ask from them or save the money they gave it to us. But for them, when they have enough money to buy what they like, they just save their hard earn money for us.

Our parents have sacrificed lots of thing to give us a better life. Some people are rich, some are not. Bear in mind that we are lucky to be loved by our parents. Rich or not, they are still working hard to make us happy.

Its too long to tell our parents how much they have sacrificed for us. A simple word,

I LOVE YOU with a kiss  

is not hard.

When you eat, think of what they eat. When you buy your clothes, think of what they wear. When you study, think of how hard they work just to give us the education opportunities and how much they think for our future~ for us to live on and have a better quality of LIFE. We are lucky to be loved by parents. Some people do not have the chance to be loved by their parents. They do not have the chance to eat, play, sleep and study like the way we do. Just appreciate what they have given to us.
