Beautiful Poem

Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God, First fill your own house with Fragrance of love...

Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God, First remove the darkness of sin from your heart...

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer, First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen...

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees, First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden...

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, First forgive from your heart those who sinned against you.

Vanshaj's

=============

If you look at me with full of anger, then I will look at you with full of smile.

If you hit me hardly, then I will hug you tightly.

If you wanted to kill me, then I will truly forgive you.

If you feel regret after all in the past, then I hope you can forget everything in this present and start to love people around you.

Each person take his own lesson. What will you learn from this story?

~~

A Boy And The Apple Tree

A long time ago there was a huge tree.

It loved a little boy very much.

The boy loved to come and play around it everyday.

He climbed to the treetop.

Ate the apples.

Take a nap under the shadow.

He loved the tree, the tree was so happy.

Time went by...

One day, the bay came back to the tree.

The tree said "Come and play with me"

"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around a tree anymore"

"I want toys. I need money to buy them."

The tree said : "Sorry, but I do not have money... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money."

The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.

The tree was happy.

he boy never came back after picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited. "Come and play with me" the tree said.

"I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for a shelter. Can you help me?"

The tree said "Sorry, but I do not have any house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house."

So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then.

The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said.

"I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" said the man.

"Use my trunk to build your boat." the tree said. "You can sail far away and be happy."

So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

The tree was happy, but it was not the true.

Finally, the man returned after many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said.

"No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite" the man replied...

"No more trunk for you to climb on" the tree said.

"I am too old for that now" the man replied.

Then the tree said : "I really cannot give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears.

The old man replied : "I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years."

"Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come sit down with me and rest."

The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

I Believe

A Birth Certificate shows
that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
we understand that friends change.

I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe....
That we are responsible for what
we do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...
That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.

I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had,
and what you've learned from them.....and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, if
a friend cries out to you........you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in. I just did.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.

Thanks to all the wonderful people who help us throughout the journey of life.

Joke : Just One Hole Behind

Guy was playing golf one day and he got lost. He saw a lady up ahead of him and went to her and said, 'Can you please help me, I don't know what hole I'm on.'

She told him 'You are one hole behind me. I'm on 7; you're on 6.' He thanked her and continued playing golf.

Later he got lost again. He saw the same lady and went to her again kind of embarrassed. 'I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm lost again, can you please tell me what hole I'm on.'

She told him 'you are one hole behind me. I'm on 14; you are on 13.' Again he thanked her and continued playing golf.

When he finished he saw her in the clubhouse. He went up to her and asked if he could buy her a drink for helping him out. She accepted. As they were drinking and talking he asked her what she did for a living.

'I'm in sales.' she said.

He replied, 'no kidding so am I. What do you sell?'

She said it's too embarrassing to tell. But after he kept pleading to know what she sold and finally, she said she'd tell him if he promised not to laugh. He promised.

She said, 'I sell SOFTEX (Sanitary Napkins)'.

He immediately fell to the floor laughing hysterically.

She said, 'You promised you wouldn't laugh'.

He replied (still with tears in his eyes), 'I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I sell toilet paper..... I'm still one hole behind you.'

Positive Thoughts

Phew... so long not to write anything in this blog.
Miss me not.. haha

Recently, I have a lot of work to do and I almost forget about this blog. Forgive me.

Ok... this morning I got a new email from my friend. It's about positive thoughts.
I hope you like it.

Believe in your heart that something
wonderful is about to happen.
Love your life.

Believe in your own power,
and in your own potential,
and your own innate goodness.

Wake every morning with the awe
of just being alive.

Discover each day the magnificent,
awesome beauty in the world.

Explore and embrace life
in yourself and in everyone
you see each day.

Reach within to find your own specialness.
Amaze yourself and rouse those
around you to the potential
of each new day.

Don't be afraid to admit
you're less than perfect;
this is the essence of our humanity.

Let those who love you help you;
Trust enough to be able to take.

Look with hope to the horizon of today,
for today is all we truly have.

Live this day well.
Let a little sun out as well as in.

Create your own rainbows.
Be open to all your possibilities,
and all miracles.
Always believe in miracles.

A Little Joke. Why so Serious ???

Recently, I'm pretty busy at home and at work. I don't have enough time to post new content to this blog. Sorry...

Today I got an email... just a little joke. I hope it can make smile to your face. ^^

OK, here it is ...

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop.
We were only in there for about 5 minutes.When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres.
So my wife called him a shit-head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

Haha... so... what's the moral of this story ?
I think you got it right, right ? :lol:
