Steve Jobs

“No one wants to die, Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there.
And yet death is the destination we all share.
No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of Life.
It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually be one the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite True."

Steve Jobs

Chicken Broth for your heart

Apologize to someone you offended.


Do something nice for someone in secret.

Find out what you can do for your community, then do it.

For every compliant you make, think of three reason to be thankful.

Gratitude is the sign of change of heart


Let tomorrow worries about itself… Today.. live…


Listen to the music today and thanks heaven the gift of it


Make a list of regret and burn it and thank heaven we can start again.


Read about the countries you are unfamiliar with and pray for their people.


Six feet on earth makes all men equal


Six of one and half a dozen the other


So far so good


Sometimes the best game is to lose


Sorrow makes the silence the best orator


Sorrow will pay no debt


Small profit, quick return


Sitting your place and none can make you rise.


The singing man keeps him sharp in his throat

What is the difference between "Complete" and "Finished"?

People say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED. . but there is:
 If you marry a good wife, you are Complete…

And If you marry a bad wife, you are Finished.
And if you marry a bad wife, devorced and marry again for the second time, but found that your wife is even worst than the first one, you are Completely Finished!

PS. I always mentioned to friends, that if you marry a good wife, you will become a poet, and if you marry a bad wife, you will become a philosopher.

用幽默的心來「轉化」負面情緒

能給對方讚美，就能給自己肯定，自然就能創造雙贏，事事亨通了。日常生活中，讚美別人很重要，對自己的情緒管理也相當的重要，我們的EQ要不斷地提升。
有一個人到餐廳去用餐，可能是店家生意太忙了，竟然忽略了他的存在等了很久，連後來的客人都開始上菜用餐了，他老兄這桌依然沒有服務生過來招呼點菜，換成一般人可能要光火了,可是他情緒管理得相當好，他笑吟吟地走到櫃檯邊對老闆說：「老闆，我好像是坐到觀眾席了，不然怎麼來那麼久，只能光看著別人吃！」
老闆聽了連忙打躬作揖賠不是，很快地給他上了菜。
為人處事做生意，很多難事都可以幽默輕鬆來化解一切，不一定非要弄到雙方「吹鬍子瞪眼」不可，這樣一來反而會適得其反，氣死別人，也氣死自己！
用幽默的心來「轉化」負面情緒，是追求智慧人生非常重要的一門課程，「轉」字很重要[轉]，就是一個「車」再一個「專」字，也就是說，我們要「專心開好人生這部車」的意思，人生的大車絕對不能負氣使性、迷迷糊糊地胡開猛撞啊！
人生，五歲要有五歲的純真,二十要有二十的熱情，三十要有三十的成熟，四十要有四十的穩重，五十要有五十的智慧，六十要有六十的經驗，這就是人生的「轉」字訣。

The Difference between a wife and a prostitute is that you pay monthly and per transaction,
You request to have a blow job would be a waste of time and a blow job is a standard for later.

Words of Wisdom

Love is a trivial comedy made up of important tragedies.
It does not matter whom you marry with, as she will look and behave differently after wake up!

Don’t be silly that there is love, they are only trades of family relation and stock for your hope tomorrow.
Don’t fear Pressure as it turns Rusted stone into Diamond.

Believe your life is worth living, your believe will make your life Happy.
Whenever you go, take your whole heart along

Heal the past, live the present, dream the tomorrow.

The Key of happiness is having a dream, The key to success if to make the dream comes true.

Attitude is everything

John is the kind of guy you love to hate...

He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!' 'You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?'

He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood I choose to be in a good mood.' Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or....I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. 'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.' I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.. I saw him about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins....Wanna see my scars?' I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. 'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.' 'Weren't you scared?

Did you lose consciousness?' I asked. He continued, '....the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.

In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.' 'What did you do?' I asked. 'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied..' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.' He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude...

I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Prayers at the Opening session of Senate

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate.

It seems prayer still upsets some people.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.

We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem..

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.

In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea.

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story, and receive d a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.'

Nowadays , there are a lot twisted saying about what the older people we used to believe to be right and what to be wrong! What we appreacite a good man is not his heart, but his money..

We appreaciate a lady by her beauty and appearance only, does not matter she is well been edcuated at all or she is having that kind of complaisance.

Young model can be a hit once if she is pretty, long queue at the book show for model's photo album, but no one seemed to be insterested in some kind of books that is created for teachign us what good or bad is... The world is becoming skin deep, most of the people judges people by their suit but not their speech!

Competition and Happiness

Old saying said “Comparisons are odious”!

For an instance you are one of the CEO of a company and you want to compare the performance of previous CEO, you would feel that you would under pressure if you could not achieve the sale revenue of the previous CEO, and do not ignore that the case may not be the same, the economy situation may not be as good as the previous time.

So why do you insist on comparing? Or competing with him?
You can live happily in this competitive world only if you are not competitive.
I am trying to say that as people all over the world are violence, there are wars. Once there is competition, there will be violence as competition is every essence of Violence.

A training started from the time you was a kid, you was a clever boy in the class, you were the best student in the school, you beat all other students in all subject because you are good in making high marks in examination. The Principle loved you a you were the best student, perfect student in the school! But do not forget that you will be spoiled by the teachers and principle. How about all other student, are they not worth anything because they are not as good as you?

Our distorted education system is trying to scripture a perfect student by looking at the marks only.

Our whole social structure is base on competition, and we accept it as inevitable.
When we graduated, got job in a company, especially we involved a big business, say that the more you complete the better work you produce. As we lost order to our competitors, you would be the first one to be blamed by your boss!

We will try to look at it at different perspective looking into the world of competition.

If you your job and do will do far better work in your job, then you will not complete. You will focus your work with passion in order to have more sales order, and more commissions. You will do you job as well as you can and with all your energy because you love what you do.

Some European schools had conducted experiment, they found that if the student do not complete. When they love what he is studying or doing without looking at the marks. He studies better and learns faster.

Competition does not produce intelligence, I does not product knowledge, at best it products sharpness and cunning, so that when the student go out in the world, he could possibly “Put something over” on other people. And they beautifies it so call “ Street Smart”!

To have peace in the world, you yourself must be peaceful, to live happily in the world, and you have to be happy. To live happily in this competitive society you yourself must cease to be competitive.

If you love you work, you will not care who is ahead of you, who is behind of you, who is going to get a big bonus whatsoever more than what you have. You will not care when the boss will give you a raise or promotion.

Instead you would likely felling freely to work with more time and thought of goodwill in your work, you will not try to get order by hurting your colleagues, you will not make dirty trick in order to conclude the order.

You will find yourself having fun in work as you will not have fear in hurting people, you will not have worry that you will lose order because of not using dirty trick, and may not be having a promotion in next review! No, you will not think about it, instead you will find that you are not standing in current of the competition, as you do not see competing at all. You will see that yourselves are the only competition!

However you will understand that intelligence comes only we too are free from fear, not when you are disciplines, fighting and competing with violence.

Let’s ignore the current competition focus and work out result with all your effort, I believe the result can be more fruitful!
