Let's us enjoy the story now.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Hope you enjoy the story. Thank Dawn for sharing the information as well.
Let's smile.

Tamporary setbacks can be the greater strength for us

My friends, temporary setbacks can be the greater strength for us.
Do you know there is the 112 years old young lady still find time to contribute something great to the society?
Her whole life is focus on giving love to others unconditionally. Her selfless attitudes not only bring joy to those she helps but also touching so people's hearts, how can I not sharing it out. We ready can learn something from this great lady. She is the ready the good model in this century.
She is Teresa Hsu Chin who is living in Singapore. Although She is thin but full of energies just like the young lady. She likes to help poor, sick, old people.
She said:" I have many companion, I love them [ poor, sick , old people ]. Helping them unconditionally is my responsibility because we are all one family."
My friends, let's learn more about Teresa.
Part 1--the helpful child
Teresa Hsu Chin was born on 1897 in China. She had the unhappy childhood. Early years. When Hsu was young, her father walked out on the family for another woman. Her mother, who was illiterate, had to fend for the three girls and one brother singlehandedly. She was the understanding child then, everyday she did housework. After washing clothes in the river, she had to find herbs in the mountains. At home she needed to do some handicraft work to earn little money to help up the family. Sadly to say that her irrational father always scolded and beat her. Although she had no chance to go to school at the younger age but the illiterate mother loved her very much, she learned many good things from her caring mom like diligence, good morals ,etc. The unhappy childhood did not make her weak but more stronger person. Did she had the opportunity to study in school later? I will discuss it on my next post. Now is the time to ponder about Teresa's mother giving great love for her was the greater strength for her.
That's for today.
Let's continue part 2--Teresa likes to study with enthusiasm.

The good reminder for all

Let's study the student guide to complete the whole series. This last part is the good reminder to all students.
Read good book to learn good values
For student to learn good values. It is good to learn from the saints and sages. The books that teaches us to do evil things, it should be discarded and not even be looked at. Because these bad books can block our intelligence and wisdom, and will undermine our aspirations and sense of direction.
Neither be harsh on yourself, nor give up on yourself.
To be a person of high ideals, moral standards and virtue is something we can all attain in time.
My view:
This is ready the good reminder for all of us. I believe that if more people willing to learn good now, then our next generation will be blessed and they will appreciate that.
Let's together play a part as individual. Hopefully we can all smile and leave this world without any regrets.
Thank you very much for giving me courage to introduce this student guide here.
Am I doing the good thing here?
Give me one minute to think. Yes, I am doing the good thing.
Have the wonderful life, all my friends, readers.
Time for me to----ha ha ha.

Why eye contact between two strangers sometimes can lead to conflict?

Why eye contact between two strangers sometimes can lead to conflict?What are the causes?
Let see the example as follows:
Mr. A stares at Mr. B in the corridor, both are strangers to each others. Mr. B stares back and say:" Wei, why you stare at me?"
Mr. A say:" I'm not starring you, I see the tree besides you. Why? you not happy, isn't it? want to fight?"
Mr. B:" ---- you, you think I scare of you, come over here."
Then two person start fighting, attacking each others.
You see, a simple act can lead to tragedy sometimes.
Do you know why eye contact between two strangers can lead to conflict?
The conversation has shown:
They both like to win but in wrong path. They are too easily agitated by sights and words.
It is good to stay cool and not easily agitated by sights and words. It ready need " training " for them.
I want to say more but my eyes start to close, see you few days later.

Create better environment

Let's study the study guide.
Create the better environment for study.
Keep your room neat, your walls uncluttered and clean, your desk tidy and writing materials properly placed.
When words are written carelessly, showing no respect, it shows that our state of mind has not been well.
The books should be classified, placed on the book shelves, and in their proper places.
Even though you are in a hurry, neatly put back the books we are reading.
My view:
Having such a good habits are ready good. Children need to learn this. It benefit them for whole day.
That's all for today. I have to rest now.
Have the nice day.

Singapore taxi driver blogger

Today, I read the local Singapore newspaper that the man who had the PhD from Stanford is the taxi driver in Singapore. His name is Mr. Cai Ming Jie, he quit the scienticfic job earlier but was unable to find the suitable job. Finally he became the taxi driver.
Yes, In life, we have to quit the old job for some reasons, then we need to find the new job. Sometimes we need longer time to find the suitable or ideal job. Thus, we need to adjust our mindset so as to adapt to the new environment, sometimes we ought to look for much lower pay job. It is nothing wrong to be taxi driver because this is the honest job.
Out of curiosity and want to know more about this talented taxi driver, I surf Internet just now, I type " Singapore taxi driver blogger " on Google search and landed in the blog site that mention about him. From the link http://taxidiary.blogspot.com/ , I finally come to his site.
After reading his newest post, I write something there to give him the spiritual support.
I advise him to enjoy the job and always take good care of himself. As you know, driving taxi is the tiring job, you need to drive many hours to earn some income minus the taxi rental fees about $90 daily. I advise him to take the small break in between.
According to the security officer in his residence, Mr. Cai is the friendly, hardworking and courteous person. Can you imagine how working he is? He drives 15 hours daily and goes home to have lunch, dinner. He reaches home to sleep after 2 or 3 am in the midnight.
I enjoy reading his blog posts about the taxi driver's life. From his story, we learn something that we need to adapt to the new working environment, be working and thirsty.
I believe one day he will find the better job in the scientific field so that his talent can be fully utilised.
My friends, temporary setback can be the greater strength for the next journey.
All can be living happily regardless of what job you doing as long as this must be the honest job.
My friends, do you have anything to say?
Best wishes to all of you, be happy always. Let's smile for 5 minutes, see you the next post-the fate of the pencil.
Have the nice day.

How to learn good values effectively?

Parents in ancient time were very particular on moral education unlike today. They believed children must have the basis of good character before learning other subjects. At that time, the purpose of schooling was to instill students with good values. The priority was not earning money but to serve people well when they grown up. They then passed that traditional good values to next generation.
Nowadays, the situation have been changed drastically. Luckily we can see some people still continue to cultivate children with this good traditional values.
Personally I find that most of the traditional values still very useful today. In flat most Of them are core values for all.
This is my litter thought for today.
Let's study the student chapter 7 part two
How to learn the student guide effectively.
There are methods to study correctly.
They involve concentration in three areas:
Our mind, our eyes, and our mouth.
To believe in what we read [ the student guide ] is equally important.
When we begin to read a book, do not think about another.
If we have not completed the book, do not start another.
Give yourself lots of time to study, and study hard.
Give time and effort, we will thoroughly understand.
If we have a question, make a note of it. Ask the person who has the knowledge for the right answer.
That's all for today. Have the nice day.

Learn and do it

Time is running fast, the student guide is about to end soon. This student guide is to let us know what are the good habits that we should adopt, this is the aim of this student guide. This simple student guide is about moral education and is particular useful in this century because human beings are forgetting and neglecting about moral. This student guide is suitable for all ages regardless of race and religion. let's study the student guide chapter 7, part one.
1. Learn the knowledge about good deeds but never put it into practice.
If we do not actively make use of what you have learned about the good deeds, but continue to study on the surface, although our knowledge is increasing but it is only superficial. what kind of person will we be?
My view: If we never put it into action, there is no improvement at all.
2. Apply it but stop learning
If we do apply our knowledge diligently, but stop studying, we will only do things based on our opinion, in fact, what we know is not complete.
My view:
If We want to do good deeds, then we should really do it. It is useless if we just think without action.
Learn and do it, continue to learn and adopt the good habits. This is the endless learning path.
That's all for today. Best wishes to all of you.

Singapore national day 2009

Singapore is the small but dynamic country now. We are going to celebrate the 44Th national day. I am very proud to be Singaporean, I will tell you why?

This coming National day fall on 9Th of August 2009, all Singaporeans are waiting for the grand national day celebration. Why Singapore national day is so significant to me?Let's me voice out just four points, shelter, job, education and go globally.
After separation from Malaysia, Singapore became the independent country, the day was 9Th of August 1965. At that time, many people doubted whether the tiny red dot Singapore could survive or not because of lacking natural resources. But our Singapore pioneer leaders and all citizens had the iron will to overcome all the obstacles and proved to the world that we could make it even we were weak at that time. Singapore pioneer leaders started the great plan in nation building. Providing shelters for all Singaporeans were the immediate task. They built houses for hundreds and thousands of Singaporeans, so that Singaporeans had their own comfortable houses to live in. The pioneer leaders reclaimed the land and built up many factories in industrial estates, like the famous Jurong industrial estate,etc.Now Jurong industrial estates became one of the big industrial estates in the world. Many people then had jobs to do.
The leaders knew that education was very important for Singapore's development because we had only human resources. We needed to maximum their potentials fully. That's why Singapore had invested heavily on education. In order to have peaceful environment, we were promoting racial, religious harmony. We encouraged all races, religion to have more interaction, mutual respect was the strength for Singapore. We always took the new challenges and started to invest globally.

Let me say: happy national day to Singapore and all Singaporeans. We all can watch the Singapore national day parade 2009 on TV, Ndp web site. You can just type " Singapore national day 2009 on Internet.

My friends, can you tell me which country you are coming from? the date of your national day? What is your wishes for your country?
Have the nice day.
