篱笆上的铁钉

         从前，有一个脾气很坏的男孩.他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子，告诉他，每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候，就在院子的篱笆上钉一根。第一天，男孩钉了37根钉子。后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气，每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了。他发现，控制自己的脾气，实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。终于有一天，他一根钉子都没有钉，他高兴的把这件事告诉了爸爸。 

　　爸爸说："从今以后，如果你一天都没有发脾气，就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子." 日子一天一天过去，最后，钉子全被拔光了。爸爸带他来到篱笆边上，对他说："儿子，你做得很好，可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞，这些洞永远也不可能恢复了。就象你和一个人吵架，说了些难听的话，你就在他心里留下了一个伤口，像这个钉子洞一样。"插一把刀子在一个人的身体里，再拔出来，伤口就难以愈合了。无论你怎么道歉，伤口总是在那儿。要知道，身体上的伤口和心灵上的伤口一样都难以恢复。

你的朋友和你的家人都是你宝贵的生命财富，他们让你更自信，让你更勇敢。
他们总是随时倾听你的忧伤，你需要他们的时候，他们会支持你，向你敞开心扉。
可是，有时你会说出伤害他们的话，或者作出让他们心痛的事情。
不要认为他们不会介意，就像在篱笆上钉过钉子一样，伤害会留下永远的痕迹。
坏脾气是一柄双刃剑，它在伤害别人的时候，同时也伤害了自己。

Good Advise Taken from My Email.....

PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents your Dr office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you meet.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around... <>

After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there ....

This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

愛情

在支撐團體裡呆了一段時候，常常遇到一些讓愛情搞得焦頭爛額的男女。聽聽他們怎麼說：

“我對他那麼的好，他還是離開我，上天對我太不公平了。”

“我罵他是因為我愛他。要是我不愛他，我才懶得理他。”

“不管他？我能不管他嗎？他是我愛人啊！”

分手的情侶夫妻總是充滿了如此的怨言。這樣的男女，假如跳不出怨天尤人的狀況，很肯定的，他們會在下一段愛情的路上，遇到同樣的狀況。

愛情不是交易

我常常借用一些大師的話，對這些男女說：“愛他，就讓他自由吧！包括有一天他要求跟你分手，你也讓他輕松的離開。”

“那麼我不是很吃虧嗎？”他們總是馬上反彈。

愛情本來就不是交易。假如你很在意誰多了一些誰少了一些，你的愛情路上肯定是多苦多難的。因為，沒有多少人願意跟一個斤斤計較的人在一塊。

另一方面，要是他真的要離開你，你也阻止不了對方。與其一哭二鬧三上吊的讓對方跑得更快，倒不如大家好好分手，再見還是個朋友。

假如你在愛情路上跌倒了，請別怨天尤人，學習放手，學習體諒，你會發現你的下一段愛情變得豐盛多了。

你有兩個選擇

Eric是美國一家餐廳的經理，他總是有好心情
當別人問他最近過的好何
他總是有好消可以說
他總是回答：〔如果我再過的好一些，我就比雙胞胎還幸運囉！〕
當他換工作的時候，許多服務生都跟著他從這家餐廳換到另一家
為什麼呢？
因為Eric是個天生的激勵者
如果有某位員工今天運氣不好，
Eric總是適時地告訴那位員工往好的方面想．
看到這樣的情境，真的讓我很好奇，
所以有一天我到Eric那兒問他：
〔我不懂，沒有人能夠老是那樣地積極樂觀，你是怎麼辦到的？〕
Eric回答：
〔每天早上我起來告訴自己；我今天有兩種選擇，我可以選好心情，或者我可以選壞心情．〕
　我總是選擇有好心情，即使有不好的事發生，我可以選擇做個受害者，或者選擇從中學習，
　我總是選擇從中學習．每當有人跑來跟我抱怨，我可以選擇接受抱怨或者指出生命的光明面
　我總是選擇生命的光明面．但那並不是每件事都那麼容易啊！〕
〔的確如此〕
Eric也這樣說：
生命就是一連串的選擇，
每個狀況都是一個選擇，
你的選擇如何回應，
你選擇人們如何影嚮你的心情
你選擇處於好心情或者壞心情
你選擇如何過你的生活．
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
數年後,有一天，
我聽到Eric意外地做了一件，你絕對想不到的事
有一天他忘記關上餐廳的後門
結果，早上，三個武裝歹徒闖入搶劫
他們要．．Eric打開保險箱
但．．由於過度緊張，Eric弄錯了一個號碼，造成搶匪的驚?慌，開始射擊Eric
幸運地，Eric很快地被鄰居發現，緊急送到醫院搶救
經過１８小時的外科手術以及密集照顧
Eric終於出院了，但還有塊子彈留在他身上．．．
事情發生六個月後
我還到Eric，我問他最近怎麼樣

他回答：
〔如果我再過的好一些，我就比雙胞胎還幸運了．要看看我的傷痕嗎？〕
我婉拒了．．但我問他當搶匪闖入的時候，他的心路歷程．
Eric答道：
〔我第一件想到的事情是我應該鎖後門的，當他們擊中我之後，我躺在地板上，
　還記得我有二個選選擇：〔我可以選擇生，或者選擇死．我選擇活下去〕
〔你不害怕嗎？〕
Eric繼續說：
醫護人員真是了不起，他們一直告訴我沒事，放心．．．
但是當他們將我推入緊急手術間的路上，我看到醫生跟護士臉上憂慮的神情，我真的被嚇到了..
他們眼神好像寫著：他己經是死人了！
我知道我要採取行動
〔當時你做了什麼？〕
Eric說：
嗯！當時有個碩大的護士用吼叫的音量，問我一個問題：〔她問我是否會對什麼東西過敏．〕
我回答：〔有〕．
這時醫生跟護士都停下來等待我的回答．
我深深地吸了一口氣．．接著喊．．．〔子彈！〕
聽他們笑完之後
我告訴他們：
我現在選擇活下去，請把我當作一個活生生的人來開刀，不是一個活死人．
Eric能活下去當然要歸功於醫生的精湛醫術，但同時也由於他令人驚異的態度
我從他身上學到
每天你都能選擇享受你的生命，或是憎恨它．
這是唯一一件真正屬於你的權利，沒有人能夠控制或奪去的東西．．就是你的態度
如果你能時時注意這些愉快的事情
你就會．．．因此而變得心情愉快

This is an article i have been keeping for like 3 or 4 years. I had read it so many times but i still reading it. Because sometimes when i am lost or down, i need someone or something to remind me that i take control of my life. We make a lot of decision and choices in our life. Long before, some of the decision i made, i made it for someone for some reason. And when the things turn out to be under expectation, i will blame it on 天, 地, and other people, not me. When i am grow older like now (well, i am not really old :-P), i look at things differently. Everything we do or act on is due to the decision or choices we made consciously or unconsciously. We can always select from infinite possibility of choices consciously, such as what to order from the menu, what to do after bath, when to go out with friend and who you want to go out with, the state of your mind in some point of time on something or someone, our point of view on some problems or events. Sometimes I am just lazy to make decision, let the decision making process autopilot. That is the reason why when somethings happen unexpectedly, i always pissed off. Everyone have the right to take charge of what happen in their life, and i am gaining that power slowly step by step by more aware of my choices in my life... because i am responsible for my life...

Meaningful Article 001

I came across some very meaningful article few days ago when i am organizing my newspaper cutting... Well, good thing is to share... So here it goes:

Title:人生的积极面与消极面

一个人一生的成败,人生观要决定一大半. 人生观有两种,一种是积极的人生观,另一种是消极的人生观.
有一则到非洲卖鞋的故事.
甲乙两家鞋子的调查员同时到非洲调查市场,他们看到非洲男女老幼都不穿鞋子,两人各打了一份电报回总公司.
甲公司调查员的电报内容是:"毫无希望,这里没人穿鞋."
乙公司调查员的内容是:"这里每个人都需要鞋子,大有可为."
同样是一双没穿鞋的脚,从消极面去看毫无希望;从积极面去看则大有可为.
美国知名的教育家巴士卡力告诉我们一则真实的故事.
有一个垂死的妇人写信给出巴士卡力,说她身患重病,正等待死神降临.巴士卡力回信劝她,与其等死,不如去儿童医院看看那些得了绝症的孩子们.
妇人接受他劝告,立刻到医院去.
孩子问她:"你也即将死亡吗?"
妇人点点头.
孩子又问:"你恐惧死亡吗?"
妇人又点点头.
孩子笑着说:"你就要上天堂,马上可以见到上帝了,有什么好怕的."
妇人恍然大悟,从此不再恐惧死亡将至.
如果您像那位妇人一样,正陷于困境或绝处,请问您看到的,是天堂?还是地狱呢?
(from sinchew newspaper)

6 Lessons

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel, '
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129
It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: ' Sure , why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. 'They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
BullShit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
