Everybody looks royalty.

I wake up this morning, I realized something…


I
realized making fun of people won’t stop me from from being unhappy. I
realized that by calling somebody else fat won’t make me any skinner.

Calling somebody stupid doesn’t make me any smarter and ruining people life definitely didn’t make me any happier.

But all I can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of me.

Limits, why can’t I remember anything about limits? If the limit does not approaches anything, the limit does not exist.

When I get bit by a snake, I supposed to suck the poison out. That’s what I had to do. Suck all the poison out of my life.

Are you the one who was living pass out that no good deed goes unpunished?

Well,
some of the people in the world might hate at me and some other might
only like me. To all the people whose feeling who got hurt. I’m really sorry.


I
never been though anything special and I think about how many people
struggling for life and how many people cried over their living.

I mean……….I think everybody looks royalty.

So, why is everybody stressing over life? I mean life is valuable. We could really just share it.

So can you…

In the demanding world I live in, I’m bombarded by images of what I should look like, how I should act, who I should be. 

In
addition, everyone seems to be demanding my time and attention, leaving
precious little time for self-reflection. In this environment, it is
easy to loose oneself and loose ones self-esteem.

Sometime I
feel like I’m at the end of my rope, and don’t know what to do - I will
stop, take a deep breath, and realize I must take care of myself first.

I
will give myself time to be myself, listen to my inner-voice and find
my inner joy. This help me find myself, and be a healthier, happier me.
So can you…

"Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I
have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as
brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
– George Bernard Shaw

Our youths can be corrected?

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Youth today are a serious social problem.
They are involved in loitering, drug abuse, lax sexual behavior and
even crime. Parents, the education system, the mass media and society
have been blamed for it. Youths are the nation’s most important
resource, They are the future caretakers and leaders of the nation.
Something must be done to save them.

Many say parents are to
blame for the youths of today becoming a serious social problem. They
say that parents are too involved in making money. Usually, to obtain
as much money as possible, both parents work. So, they are not at home
most of the time and their are neglected. The children have no parental
love. They are not guided and controlled.

The result is they end
up loitering in shopping centres and other places. They may also become
involved in drug and neglect their studies. Consequently, their grades
fall and they often get into trouble with the school authorities for
disciplinary problems. The education system also creates problems for
youths. The system stresses only academic performance, so it is a
torture to those who are not academically inclined.

Furthermore,
there are too much sex and violence on television. Society is also to
blame. It has forgotten morality and decency. It has become too
materialistic. People think that any way of making money is all right.
So, they cheat or become involved in corrupt practices. Who can blame
the youths for following the bad examples shown by society.


To
solve the social problems of our youths, all the weaknesses must be
corrected. Parents must spend more time with children so that they do
not become involved in undesirable activities. The education system
should be revamped. Those who are not good academically can study at
vocational schools where they can learn skills or trade.

In this
way, the youths can earn an honest living and do not become parasites
living on others. Besides this, there should be greater control over
the mass media. Sex and violence should not be glorified. All
objectional subjects should be avoided by the mass media. Lastly,
society should be taught about decency and morality. In this way,
youths will be influenced not to become involved in undesirable
activities.

In my opinion, my belief is that the social ills of our youths can be corrected if the right measures are taken. How about you?

The End Of My Day

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

My favorite hour is the one just before I go to sleep.
This hour is usually around midnight. At this hour, most things have
come to a standstill, This is the quietest moment of the day. Traffic
is at a minimum. There is little roaring of engines and the honking of
car horns. Almost everyone has gone to bed and there are few sounds of
human activities.

This almost
total silence gives me peace. The hustle and bustle of the day is left
behind and one enters the realm of almost complete calm. It has a
relaxing and healing effect on the mind. The hurts and slights of the
day which one has received in one’s encounters with others are erased.

This
is also the hour during which I can reflect on what has happened during
the day. I can analyze events and the actions I have taken in response
to these events with a clearer mind.


Was
I acting a bit hastily when I agreed immediately to friend’s request?
Did I hurt my belove’s feelings by not giving him the solace he was
asking for?
Couldn’t I have said something differently from the way I have said it?

A thousand and one thoughts enter my mind and the quietest hour of the day gives me a chance to reflect on them.


This
hour also indicates the end of my day’s labour. It signifies the end of
my daily contribution to the world in terms of amount of work done and
the number of good deeds I have performed. It gives me a good feeling
when I keep a tally and find that my good deeds outnumber my bad.

This
hour also tells me that having made my contribution to the world it is
time for me to rest. My mind needs the recharging and my body needs
that rebuilding that only sleep can bring about. Just before I drop
into dreamland, I always count my blessings.

Am I not blessed with a loving and close-knit family?

Don’t I have helpful and caring friends? Don’t I have a good job? Most of all, am I not still alive and in possession of good health?

Counting
my blessings imbue me with great happiness and peace and it is in this
euphoric state of mind that I drop off into dreamland at the end of my
day.

Who are you?

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I admire courage in a person. A courageous
person dares to speak out against injustice and even act against it. It
does not matter whether the injustice is done towards him or against
others. He speaks out and fights against it all the same. People who
speak out against injustice towards only themselves are not worthy of
my liking at all. In fact, I despise them.

People
who make promises and keep them also earn my liking. I dislike people
who make promises very easily & never keep them. If such people
cannot keep even simple promises, what about big ones? If I ever find a person who never breaks a promise, I will treat him as a very valuable friend.

Additionally, I like royal people. They
stand by you though thick and thin, heaven or hell. They are unlike
fair whether friends who mob you when you have wealth, power, fame or
something to offer them but desert you the very moment you are down on
your luck. That is why the dog is man’s best friend. It remain royal to
him whatever his financial circumstances.

I dislike hypocritical people. They
always project a false picture of themselves, pretending to be more
virtuous then other people when they are not. Whatever good they do is
not sincere but is done with an ulterior motive. The motive is either
to put others in a bad lighter elevate themselves above others. I
instantly dislike such people with their holier-than-thou attitude.
I cannot stand in people is selfishness.
To such people, the world exists only for them and for what they can
get out of it. In everything they do, the paramount question to them is
"What’s in it for me?" The
interests or welfare of others are bulldozed to one side. Even if
others suffer because of their selfishness, they are not in the least
bothered. I can treat such people only with utter contempt.

  • How about you? Who you really are?

What Your Wishes Say About You ?

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

Be careful what you wish for - it could reveal
w h o you are.

"If you could have three wishes, what would you ask for? Will it be to be healthy and happy? To have sex with Marilyn Monroe? To eat Chinese food at every meal every day for the rest of your life? Examining these wishes and the people who made them, I discovered some interesting connections:

The most common wishes were for friends, happiness, health, marriage, money, success, self-improvement, and to help other people.

Although men’s and women’s wishes were generally similar, men were more likely to wish for sex and power, while women were more likely to wish for happiness, a better appearance, and better health.

Extroverted people often wished for happiness and positive feelings, and frequently included other people in their wishes. Neurotic people wished to be more sociable and more emotionally stable - in other words, to be less n e u r o t i c . The chances of that wish coming true are practically zero.

Those who were already satisfied with their lives were the most likely to believe that their wishes would come true.
