A Most Important Part

2008-06-09T01:04:00.000-07:00

My mother always asked me what is the most important part of the body.
For years, I always trying to answer that question, with what I think is right.

When I was young, I'd think VOICE is the most important thing for us as a human, so I will answer, "EARS, Mom!"
Andshe will told me, "Nope. There are so many deaf people, and they can still be happy. But keep thinking and I will ask you again next time."

A few years later before she ask me again, I go to meet her and let her know my answer, "Mom, SIGHT is the most important thing for all of us, so it must be our EYES!" I'm very sure, this time my answer is right.
She looked at me and said, "You learn fast, but still there are so many blind people. They might not have eyes, but they still live."

Failed Again! But I kept looking for my new answer, and from time to time, My mother keep asking me for several of times, and every time I gave her my answer she always said, "No. Bu you got smarter from year to year, my son!"

Then, last year, my grandpa past away.
Everyone got so sad. Their cried, even my father cried so loud.
I still remembered that was the second time I see him cry.
My mother looked at me, and ask me, "Son, did you know the answer yet? What is the most important part of our body?"
I was surprise, because for all this times I think that question is just a game between me and her. And she can see my perplexity and said, "This is a very important question. This will show you whether you really "live" or not."

For every part of body that you answered before, I always said it is wrong and I told you why. BUT today will be a day where you learn something important in life."
She kept look at me with love and tenderness.
I can see her eyes full of tears.
She said,"Dear, the most important part of your body is your SHOULDER!"
I asked her, "Why? Is it because it can hold our head?"
"No!" She replied. "But because it can hold someone else head when they sad and don't have anyone to turn on. They need someone's shoulder to hold their head and cry on that shoulder.
Everyone need someone's shoulder to cry on. I just hope that you have so much love and have so much friends so you will always have a shoulder to cry on anytime you need it."

Finally, I know now, the most important thing in life, never be a self-center man. Have an emphaty and sympathy to those who in trouble and sorrow.

People will forget what you SAID...
People will forget what you DO...
But they will not forget when and how you make their life MEANINGFUL

"Success is not measured by what you accomplish
but by the opposition you have encountered,
and the courage with which you have maintained
the struggle against overwhelming odds."

Are You: JUST a leader, A STRONG leader, A GOOD leader, or A TRUE leader?

2008-06-03T03:07:00.000-07:00

1. Everyone is a leader, because everyone has a power to INFLUENCE, the life of others. Just having influence - good or bad - will not make you a good leader, it just show to others that you JUST A LEADER

2. If anyone can have an INFLUENCE, but not everyone can have FOLLOWERS. Follower, will make a different between JUST A LEADER with A STRONG LEADER. Strong leader, not just give an influence in the life of the people, but make them willing to follow their doctrines, life style, and orders.

3. The third is CHANGE! A GOOD LEADER always bring, push, and inspired people to their limit to do the change their need to do, in order to accomplish his/her dreams and visions.

4. Last but not least, LEGACY. Good, even great, leader can make the change in the life of the people, they might make a history. But only REAL and TRUE leader leaving a LEGACY that will be remember not just for a generation away, but even generations to come. True leader always leaving their footprints not on the sand, but on the rocks of history!

MOMMY I LOVE YOU!

2008-06-03T02:59:00.000-07:00

I really touch by this story. Hope you will to!

My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.
She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to
Say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only
Has one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear..
I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only gonna make me a
Laughing stock, why don't you just die?'
My mom did not respond....
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because
I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my
Mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her
Grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at
Her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my
Children!'
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have
Gotten the wrong address,'
And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
'My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and
Scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were
Growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and
Lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you
Having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my
Place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,
Your mother.

LIKE, CARE, or LOVE?

2008-06-03T02:13:00.000-07:00

If you LIKE someone, you will have her for your own ego,
If you CARE for someone, you will make her so happy, and her happiness is yours,
If you LOVE someone, you will do anything for her, even when it costs your life.

When you LIKE someone, you will ask her, "May I kiss you?"
When you CARE for someone, you will ask her, "May I hug you?"
When you LOVE someone, you will be on her side with hands hold tight, and you want to let her go...

LIKE is when she cries, you will say to her, "Don't cry..."
CARE is when she cries, you will cry with her,
LOVE is when she cries, you will let her cry on your shoulder, and says, "Let's face this problem together, you and I."

LIKE is when you see her, you will say to yourself, "She so pretty and gorgeous!"
CARE is when you see her, you will see her with your heart and not with your eyes,
LOVE is when you see her, you will realizes that she is the one and the only one.

When people you LIKE hurt you, you will be angry and not speak to her again...
When people you CARE hurt you, you will cry for her,
When people you LOVE hurt you, you will say, "It's OK, she just don't know what she's doing."

When you LIKE her, you will force her to like you.
When you CARE for her, you will let her choose,
When you LOVE her, you will wait faithfully for her

When you LIKE her, you will be with her as long as it's OK for you
When you CARE for her, you will be with her when she need you
When you LOVE her, you will be with her in every circumstances, good or bad.

LIKE is taking
CARE is about taking and giving
LOVE is about giving with unconditionally"

I believe in LOVE we must have 3 things: GIVING, TAKING, and SHARING!
All of them must exist in your love, fair and balance
