How to have caring heart?

Last post I talked about unselfishness could lead us to the path of wisdom. Of course Mr. Hu is living happily now. Recently he shared with us his experience on how he could get back the caring feeling towards his aging father who is 80 over years old.
Due to the very old age, his father can only read newspaper with the aid of magnifying Len. His father always has " tears " whenever he watches TV program for few hours because of the reflection of TVs screen.
This time Mr. Hu wanted to get back the caring feeling and attempted to find ways to help alleviate the pain that his father was facing due to eyes' problems.
Mr. Hu conducted the experiment, he put the black ink painted on the spare spectacle and then put some powder. After that, he put two level of ink, red and blue. Ha ha, Mr.Hu wear this spectacle and can not see anything. This is exactly what his father's situation. Now, Mr. Hu had the compassionate feeling towards his father.
Mr. Hu discussed the problems with his younger son who is 9 years old. His son said that we needed to always visit grandfather to make him happy.
The conversation was as follow:
The younger son talked to his father:" You have told us before, if grandfather feel happy, his health will be better."
Mr. Hu:" Son, what should we do?"
Young son:" Grandfather likes to read newspaper, you should buy the newspaper with bigger wording."
Mr. Hu then decided to order the newspaper with big wording although the price is little bit higher. Mr. Hu's father was so happy and touched and always told friends that his son is now the person who ready carry out the advice from the student guide.
This story tell us that we need to have the feeling towards people first. Then we should know what he likes and dislike. After that, we do our best to full fill their wishes.
When we put down selfishness, our love towards others then can flowing out. Mr. Hu reminds us that just a little bit of clean heart, our hidden wisdom can be triggered out.
The more stories in the next posts. Have the nice day.

How to be the happy person?

How to be the happy person? How to be the person of wisdom? Let's discuss it now.
There was the businessman Mr. Hu who always feel unhappy in life although he had earned lots of money.
One day, a man recommended him to read the student guide for being the good man. After learning it, the outcome was that many people still like to avoid him. He was wondering why? The student guide teacher explained to him because he had no wisdom due to the following reasons:
1.chasing for fame 2. care for own interests only
3. talk people' wrongdoings
4. greed and hatred.
The teacher told him:" As long as you have selfishness in your heart, you will not be the person of wisdom. That means you have to free from all these in order to have clean heart. Without clean heart, you will continue to have the conflict with people, unable to get along with people, so this is the time for you to examine yourself. You ought to put down " selfishness ", then you will be able to have clean heart. After that your wisdom will appear and you will be able to solve lots of problems in life. It will bring back the concept of " love " in your heart. you will definitely taste the joyfulness after helping others."
My friends, can Mr. Hu become the happier person, I will tell you in the next post. You are welcome to contribute your ideas. I sincerely wish all of you have the happier life.

True happiness

Everybody like to have happy life, am I right? We must be able to create peaceful environment at home.
Firstly, respecting and caring our parents is the key point to true happiness. It is because parents and their kids have the very close relationship. We need to appreciate the love given by our parents. Without that feeling towards parents, how can we truly love our brothers, sisters, friends or our country.
If we can love our parents, then we can further learning how to love our brothers, sisters. After that, we then be able to extend the love to friends, nation and the whole world.
So, true happiness can only be established if you can care your parents, this is the starting point. Let's together to have the happy family. Every individual can do that, the whole society will become healthy.
This is the important element-love your parents first.
Have the nice journey, my friends. I will share with you some story about this issue on my next post.

Caring time

I just surf Internet and read the news about fulfilling the dying child's last wish. Please do this, he is 5yrs old. http://bit.ly/uTcJZ .

" A little 5yr old boy named Noah, is dying. He has lost his battle with cancer, and his family was recently told that he most likely wound NOT make it until Christmas. So, this little boy's last wishes are that he(Noah) would like to receive as many Christmas cards as he possibly can from now till he passes. I cannot express to you enough on how important this is to him, and how urgent the situation is. Please send him a Christmas card ASAP, and if you don't live in the US please, please, please send him one anyways. Thank you- Julie

The Foundation's Address is:

Remember, he is 5 yrs. old. Thanks. "

How do you feel after reading this. I am equally sad seeing such a young kid suffering from incurable sickness and unable to live healthy and longer. As you can see , his only wish is to have many Christmas cards even he is going to leave this world.
This is the caring time. Can we do something just help fulfill his small wish- some Christmas cards. He will be happy because of your love flowing into him.
I am going to send the Christmas card to him tomorrow.

When the little kid reached the schooling age, her parents sent her to school. The unfortunate thing was happened, others kids all dared not to come near her because of her skin problem. Because of this, the school told her mother that she could not study there further.
The little girl was very upset and the mother apologized to her that she was born like that. The mother cried and told her daughter that she had to find her own way.
The little kid was so curious and learned herself whenever she found the old book outside. Whenever the other children visited her house, she would ask them what the meaning of words on the old book.
One day, The writer Mr.Zhang heard about that, he was so caring. He found the team of doctors to help cure her skin problem. After treatment, there was much improvement on her skin. One day, Mr.Zhang asked her what was her wish. This little kid said; I want to be the writer.

Law of the garbage truck

I have the on line friend, her name is siok hua. She always send me the email containing many inspiring stories. Today, I want to share the interesting story. The story as below: Law of the Garbage Truck. I do not know who is the author while posting this, but now I know who is the author because the blogger Dawn give me the information and I am glad to let all of you know this. Dawn said :"

Thanks for posting this great story! My name is Dawn, and I work with David J. Pollay, the author of The Law of the Garbage Truck™. I just wanted to stop by and let you know that you can read the original story on David’s blog, http://davidjpollay.typepad.com/david_j_pollay/lawofthegarbagetruck.html. It would mean a lot to us if you would let people know that David is the author of The Law of the Garbage Truck.

You can also find out more information about The Law of the Garbage Truck on www.thelawofthegarbagetruck.com. Make sure to check out the video of people in New York City taking the No Garbage Trucks!™ Pledge: www.bewareofgarbagetrucks.com. It’s pretty cool.

Thanks again!

Dawn

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.

Learning good

Let's study the student guide about " Learning good "
1. Most of us are ordinary
We are all human, but we are not the same. most of us are ordinary, only a very few have great virtues and high moral principles.
2. Truly virtuous person
A truly virtuous person is greatly respected by others. He will not be afraid to speak the truth and he will not fawn on others.
3. Learning good
If you are close to and learn from people of great virtue and compassion, you will benefit immensely. your virtues will grow daily and your wrongdoings will lessen day by day.
4. A great loss in life
If you are not close to and learn from people of great virtue, you will suffer a great loss.
people without virtue will get close to you and nothing you do will succeed.
My view:
Although most of us are ordinary including me. we all can learn from those people of great virtue. These good people are everywhere, he or she might be beside you.
Just do you best, we will be gradually improved.
That's all for today.
Have the nice day.

Celebration on racial harmony

Today is the exciting day for me and the residents in my area. At 7pm of 18th July 2009, I could see so many people gathering at this open field including Malay, Indian, Chinese, etc.
If you know how to sing songs, you can bring along your music VCD and sing, the crowd will give you big claps.
If you are hungry, you can buy foods from the stalls.
We ready need to celebrate it as different races can live peacefully here. This is the hard work from all people here.
At this moment, I hope every country can celebrate the racial harmony also. Let's all hug together regardless whether we are black, yellow or white.

Kindness

We need to have right concept as how to react to kindness given to us. Let's learn the student guide together to have better understanding.
1. Kindness
You must repay the kindness of others and let go of your resentments.
2. Let go all grudges
Spend less time holding grudges and more time paying back the kindness. 3. Treat maids kindly
When you are directing maids and servants, you should be respectable and dignified. you must treat them kindly and generously.
4. Sound reasoning
If you use your influence to make them submissive, their hearts will never be with you.
If you can convince them with sound reasoning, they will then have nothing more to say.

Encouraging each other

In schools, family, working places, some are learning things fast and some are slow learners. Giving help for those who are weak is the very good deed. Let's learn something from the student guide. For those of you who have known and practised it always, you can treat it as the refresher course.
When encouraging each other to do good, the virtues of both are built up.
If you do not tell others of their faults, you will both be wrong.
Whether you take or give, you need to know the difference between the two. It is better to give more and take less.
What you ask others to do, first ask yourself if you will do it,
If it is not something you will do, ask not others to do it.

Change for the better

Although human beings are not perfect but all can change for the better because we can think.
How if a person who has shortcoming/ secret, what should we do?
According to ancient student guide Di Zi Qui, it said as follow:
1. Shortcoming
If a person has a shortcoming, do not expose it.
2. Secret
If a person has a secret, do not tell others.
My view:
My friends, I think we can advise our friends privately so as not to embarrass them.
How to react to those who have done something good/ bad?
The student guide said as follows:
3. Goodness
Praising the goodness of others of others is a good deed in itself.
When people approve of and praise you, you should feel encouraged and try even harder.
4. Wrongdoing
Spreading rumors about the wrongdoing of others, is a wrongdoing in itself.
5. Misfortune
When the harm done has reached the extreme, misfortunes will surely follow.
My view:
We should encourage people when they are down. All can change for the better. For me, I feel happier than ever after I have written these learning stuffs to learn myself and sharing. I believe it should be inner peace.
Thanks for reading, do you have anything to say?
See you on my next post- encouragement, have the nice day.

Positive results

My friends always like to share some motivation words to me. Sometimes, they had problems and asked me. I would do my best to give them advice.
Likewise, if I have some unsolved problems, I also ask them for tips and always have the best solutions.
Yesterday, my friend sent me an email, I found that the email message was meaningful. It is ready good to share it with all of you.
The message just one sentence as follows:
" What you do anything is what you do everything ".
My view:
Through my life experiences, I realise that doing bad deeds will lead to more bad deeds, there is the negative forces propel us to do more negative things and the outcome are negative results.
On the other hand, doing good deeds will lead to more good deeds, there is the positive forces propel us to do more positive things and the outcome are positive results.
So, there is only one choice.
Have the positive life and do not miss it.
This is my little thought for today.

Love all equally

From the report, I learn that one primary school had used the ancient student guide to cultivate students. Instilling good values to young one is the good move, so as students are disciplined and be able to handle all the challenges in the future.
Let's study the ancient student guide Chapter 5 Love all equally
1. Equality
Human beings, regardless of nationality, race, or religion, everyone should be loved equally. We are all sheltered by the same sky and live on the same planet Earth.
2. Respect
A person of high ideals and morals is highly respected. What people value is not based on outside appearance.
A person's outstanding ability will naturally honor him with a good reputation.
Admiration from others does not come from boasting or praising oneself.
3. Capable person
If you are a very capable person, use your abilities for the benefit of others.
Other people's competence should not be slandered.
4. Rich/ Poor
Do not flatter the rich, or despine the poor.
5. Friends
Do not ignore old friends, and take delight in new ones.
Do you have anything to share?

Appreciation

Let's study the student guide.
1. Criticism
If criticism make us angry and only compliments make us happy, then sincere and understanding, virtuous people will shy away.
We should appreciate it if criticism come.
2. Mistake
If our mistake is not done on purpose, it is only an error.
If it is done on purpose, it is evil.
If we correct our mistake and do not repeat it, we no longer have the mistake.
If we try to cover it up, we will be doubly wrong.
My view:
We are human, bound to make mistake but we should amend it once we realise that it was mistake.
Can you appreciate criticism happily?
Do you correct your mistake quickly or simply ignore it?

Racial harmony day

Yesterday I saw the notice near the lift. The notice: Racial harmony celebration.
The event will be held on next month.
This is the very good gathering. It can promote racial harmony, better understanding.
Through this type of interaction, we will create the peaceful environment.
I love peace, hope all races help each others.

life is precious

On March 2, the 21-year-old university student David knifed his final year project supervisor Associate professor Mr. Chan in his back and jumped down from level four in the university. David was dead and Mr. Chan was injured.
Why this young and highly educated man wanted to end his life so hurriedly?
The inquiry is still on.
The text document titled " Last words " was found on David's laptop. The investigator could not ascertain the identity of the author.
Could the text document was written by David? Nobody knows the answer at this moment.
I find it the notes were extremely negative.
Let's take the look on some of the notes on his laptop.
" Life in university is much more difficult and complicated than imagined."
"...It seems that my mental is not strong enough to continue,"
" Yes, I am committing suicide, and I have my own reasons. First of all, I just have had it with my miserable life...Right now, I just don't have any more will to live."
" Do you know how it feels to watch your own family shouting at each other almost every day when you still a child? Maybe my unstable emotion is formed because of that."
" I never shed tears anymore to pitiful situation or event..."
" What have I done in my life? Basically nothing but repetition."
Note:Some web page history found on the laptop.
" How to get away with murder"
" Common methods of suicide"
This tragedy and the notes set us thinking.
Is it family problems lead to the incident?
No proper guidance starts from young age?

Heavenly people

There are so many people doing good deeds at any part in this world everyday. How to react to these good deeds?
Everyday we can see so many people doing bad deeds at any corner in this world. How to react to these bad deeds?
If we follow wrong path, then we will bring misfortune to others and also ourselves.
Let's study the student guide--good deeds and wrongdoings.
Good deeds
When we see others do good deeds, think about following their example. Even though our own achievements are still far behind those of others. we are getting closer.
Wrongdoings
When we see others do wrong, immediately reflect upon ourselves.
If we have made the same mistake, correct it.
If not, be extra cautious not to make the same mistake.
When our morals, conduct, knowledge, and skills are not as good as others, we should encourage ourselves to be better.
If our clothes we wear and the food we eat and drink are not as good as others, do not be ashamed.
My view
We should make the commitment doing more good deeds. If everybody like to do good deeds, then we are heavenly people in this earth.
Let's smile and sing the song " Don't worry, be happy. "
See you on next series.

Trustworthy

Student guide series---be trustworthy.
Young boys and girls need to know so that they can live better. For adults, this student guide can act as the reminder. For me, I am still learning, please do not laugh at me. Hopefully I can give lectures on " How to live happily? " in the future. This will be my next goal.
For today, let's study the student guide--be trustworthy.
When one speak, honesty is important.
Deceitful words and lies are not allowed.
Rather than talking too much, it is better to speak less.
Speak the truth, do not twist the facts.
Cunning words, foul language, and bad habits must be avoided at all costs.
What you have not seen with your own eyes, do not readily tell to others.
What you do not know for sure, do not easily pass on to others.
When asked to do something that is inappropriate or bad, do not promise lightly.
If you do, you will be wrong either way.
When speaking, make the words clear and to the point.
Do not talk too fast or mumble.
Some like to talk about the good points of others, while some like to talk about the faults of others.
If it is none of your business, do not get involved.
My view:
Let's do our best to be trustworthy person with healthy mindset. We learn how to respect others by using proper words.
See you on next series.
If you have something to say, you are welcome to drop your comment.

Ask permission

Let's study the student guide-learn to be a human, starts from the basic.
Avoid doing things in a hurry, it will lead to many mistakes.
Do not be afraid of difficult tasks, but do not become careless when a job is too easy.
Before borrowing things from others, you must ask for permission.
If you do not ask, it is stealing.
When borrowing things from others, return them promptly.
Later on, when you have an urgent need, you will not have a problem borrowing from them again.
I can tell you some people just forget to return.....
My mood now: peaceful.

Durian

Yesterday my brother bought durians for us. I enjoyed eating it because of good tastes.
Do you love to eat durian ? may be yes, may be not.

Susan Boyle

Britain got talent's competition was just over. Miss Susan Boyle was second place, this was the great achievement indeed.
Why so many like to watch her singing on YouTube over and over again because She is the great singer.
While She went to the stage first time, reactions from the Judges and audiences looked suspicious.
The judge Mr. Simon asked Susan Boyle: " How old are you?. Susan Boyle replied:" 47 years old." Simon's expression looked like She would fail.
After Susan sang for few seconds, We could hear clapping sound and surprised look from the Judges and audiences. Wow, Susan' beautiful voices proved them wrong.
The scene set us thinking?
Susan Boyle, you are great.

Cleanliness

Let's learn something from student guide.
Wear properly
" It is more important that your clothes are clean, rather than how extravagant they are.
When with an elder or people of importance, wear what is suitable for your station.
At home, wear clothes according to your family traditions and customs."
What we can learn?
Yes, We wear proper attire in working places, home, public places. We need not spend too much money on that. Cleanliness is most important.
That's all for today-cleanliness and proper dress.
The next topic-eating, drinking and walking.
Too simple? We ought to start from the basic, to learn to be a human.

Wish you all the best

Dear readers, I felt very tired these few days. This is the sign telling me that I need to have more rest.
Because of not feeling well, I have to pause all on line activities for sometimes.
Life is so fragile and now I have to take the good rest. Health is ready important. I have to stay healthy so that I can fullfill many.
Wish all of you happy blogging. please take good care, all readers especially your health.
Wish all of you always happy in life.
I ready miss all of you, hope can see all of you soon.
Best wishes from coolingstar9

Do it properly

Let's study the student guide to be better person. Let's start at home, do our part to create better relationship.Chapter 2: Be cautious in your daily life
Part 1
Get up in the morning before your parents; at night, go to bed only parents have gone to sleep.
When you realize that time is passing you by and cannot be turned back, and that you are getting older year by year, you will especially treasure the present moment.
When you get up in the morning, wash your face and brush your teeth.
After using the toilet, always wash your hands.
You must wear your hat straight, and make sure the books of your clothes are tied.
Make sure socks and shoes are worn neatly and correctly.
Place your hat and clothes away in their proper places.
Do not carelessly throw your clothes around, for that will get them dirty.
My view:
We learn to do properly and cautious about own attitudes, like cleanliness, proper dressing. The good habits will surely benefit us and others.

Moral education

Recently, I read the local news that two young person [ a lady-scholarship holder and a man ] were charged for walking nude in the district called Holland village. Both were fined for improper behaviour.
Luckily, this was the rare case here. I am wondering what are their motive? They said that they wanted to feel the thrill.
Both of them are highly educated but they have zero moral concept.
Proper moral education should be emphasized especially in this century.
What do you think?

Gracious society

In order to have more gracious society, everybody should play the part. Through participation, our society will move towards the path of goodness.
Today, while waiting bus at the bus stop, I see the poster in the notice board quite interesting. It is my pleasure to share it out.
This is the good reminder because human tend to forget goodness.
Graciousness is showing your consideration for others by not eating and drinking inside the bus.
Allowing others to board by moving to the rear of the bus.
Keeping the environment clean by not littering inside the bus.
Caring for others by giving up your seats to those who need it more, giving a helping hand to someone in need.
Showing appreciation by saying thank you to someone who brighten your day.
My note:
Wow, you see, we can do so many good deeds within the bus.
If you want true happiness, then we should do it sincerely in the bus. Surely you will brighten someone the whole day.

Respect to elders

Let's study the student guide to be better person. Let's start at home, do our part to create better relationship.
Chapter 2: Standards for a younger brother when away from home.
Part 2
In front of an elder, do not show off.
If you meet an elder you know on the streets, promptly greet him. If he does not speak to you, step back and respectfully stand aside.
If you are riding in a car, horse, carriage, you should stop, get out and ask if you can give him a ride.
If you meet an elder passing by, you should stand aside and wait respectfully; do not leave until you can no longer see him.
When an elder is standing, do not sit. After an elder sits down, sit only when you are told to do so.
Before an elder, speak softly. But if your voice is too low and hard to hear, it is not appropriate.
When meeting an elder, walk briskly towards him, when leaving, do not exit in haste.
When answering a question, look at the person who is asking you the question.
Serve your uncles as if you are serving your parents;
Treat your cousins as if they are your siblings.
My view:
From young, we need to respect elders. It help us to get along well with others in the society. Knowing all these will benefit us the whole life.

Stable mind

Anger is very bad for our bodies. The angry person looks ugly because his face turns pale, green or other colors. If he always angry, then he likely has many sickness. The expression [ pale, green ] shows that this person has something wrong in one or more organs.
When we are angry, our blood pressure increased and we have unstable mind at that moment. This type of angry feeling can last for long hours and affect the livelihood.
Do you know what make a person angry?
Do you know anger can lead to more trauma in life?
It is very important to control the emotion better.
Let's move towards the more quality life.
What is your thinking?
Since many readers want to have meaningful life and become better person. We should gradually let go all bad habits. We must be realistic and do not expect that we can become the very good person overnight.
As we all know that when we want to do good deeds, always have something crop up.These are the tests to let us khow how well we manage.
Face it and do our best, we should stand up again and again despite setback.
First, you must have full confidence on the belief and do things that you supposed to do.Let's go all the things needed to be let go.
What is your thinking?
See you soon.
Life is great, do good deeds, do our part and just give it out and do not expect anythings in return.

Humble

The more we share, the more we learn. We need to correct our mistakes daily so that we can have more quality life.
Today, I like to talk about humble. I believe this is the important ingredient in our lives.
We should not do these, for examples:
A person who has strong, beautiful and healthy body who looks down those who are weak, ugly.
A person who is young but never show respect , look down old people.
A person who was born in rich family, boasting about his wealth, properties.
A person who had received higher education and boasting about his knowledge.
All these mistakes should be corrected because " humble " is the key to your happiness.
Let's gradually correct our own mistakes.
Please enjoy your day, bye bye.
See you soon.

Sincere love

On my last post: harmony, Faisal Admar said that he didn't have much problem with his siblings. they respect each other and love each other so much since they were kids.
Glad to know that Faisal Admar don't have much problem with his siblings since kids.
Faisal ask : 1.Do you think marriage is for making kids and hope that they will take care of you when you are old? do you really believe in that?
My thinking:
Traditionally, marriage is for making kids and kids need to take care. However this type of concept has been changed and now we have to prepare ourselves for the old age.
2. Faisal has made some survey and ask: Do you know that most of the kids nowadays live far away from their parent? end up parent still alone.
My thinking:
Yes, the trend is that kids live far away.I hope kids can stay near parents or stay together.

Ancient China

I have just read an article about education in ancient China. I would like to share it with all of you.
As you know, China has 5000 years of history and produced many saints in the past. Now, many people are interested in learning its culture and many institution worldwide have offered courses in Chinese studies, Confucius teaching, etc.
In ancient China, children went to primary school at the age of 7. Teachers are totally responsible for students, parents had the full trust on teachers.
Teachers taught children how to respect parents, how to get along with sibling. They memorized the few books over and over again before the age of 13. They needed not required to understand the meaning of the contents at all before the age of 13.
From age 7 to age 12, teachers concentrated their character development, so that they had the solid foundation to handle all the challenges in the future.
At the age of 13, teachers always brought them out for tour. Teachers started to teach them the few books. Students needed not bring books because they had already memorized it before the age of 13.
I think this type of teaching was ready fun, what do you think?
That's all for today. Please enjoy reading and smile for one minutes. No, how about smile for 2 minutes and more.

Harmony

Let's study the student guide to be better person. Let's start at home, do our part to create better relationship.
Chapter 2: Standards for a younger brother when away from home.
Part 1
Older siblings should befriend the younger ones, younger siblings should respect and love the older ones.
Siblings who keep harmonious relationships among themselves are being dutiful to their parents.
When siblings value their ties more than property and belongings, no resentment will grow among them.
When siblings are careful with words and hold back hurtful comments, feelings of anger naturally die out.
Whether you are drinking, eating, walking, or sitting, let the elders go first, younger ones should follow.
When an elder is asking for someone, get that person for him right away. If you cannot find that person, immediately report back, and put yourself at the elder's service instead.
When you address an elder, call him properly in accord with present etiquette.
My view:
At home, brothers and sisters should help each others. Parents will feel happy when they see their children can get along well, this is also considered dutiful to their parents. We should love them even they do not have any property. We should mindful of our words.
The student guide also acts as a reminder to all people not only small kids.

Gratitude

Part 6:
When your parents are ill, taste the medicine first [ Refer to herbal medicine, herbs are boiled with water, a child should taste it first to make sure it is not too hot or too bitter ] before giving it to them.
Take care of them night and day; do not leave their bedside.
During the first three years of mourning after they passed away, remember them with gratitude and feel sad often for not being able to repay them for their kindness in raising you.
During this period you should arrange your home to reflect your grief and sorrow, avoid festivities and indulgence in food and alcoholic drinks.
Observe the proper etiquette in arranging their funerals, hold the memorial ceremony and commemorate their anniversaries with your utmost sincerity.
Serve your departed parents as if they were alive.
My view:
Take good care of parents when they are ill. To show your gratitude, proper funeral to be made after they passed away. We need to behave well even parents no longer around.
--Chapter 1 Student guide ended--

Help parents

Part 5:
When your parents do wrong, urge them to change.
Do it with a kind facial expression and a warm gentle voice.
If they do not accept your advice, wait until they are in a happier mood before you dissuade them again, followed by crying [ crying may not suitable nowadays ]to make them understand why,
If they end up whipping you, do not hold a grudge against them.
My view:
Try our very best to correct their mistakes.

Give joy to parents

Dear readers, Let us study the student guide.
Chapter 1: At home, be dutiful to your parents.
Part 4:
If whatever pleases your parents is fair and reasonable, try your best to get it for them.
Should something displease your parents, if within reason, cautiously keep it away from them.
When your body is hurt, your parents will be worried.
If your virtues are compromised, your parents will feel ashamed.
When you have loving parents, it is not difficult to be a dutiful child.
But if you are still dutiful to parents who hate you, only then will it meet the standards of the saints and sages for being a dutiful child.
My view:
Do things to give joy to parents. Be a dutiful even parents scold us.

Be a good child

Dear readers, Let us study the student guide. Chapter 1: At home, be dutiful to your parents. Part 3:
Have a permanent place to stay and lead a routine life.
Persist in whatever you do and do not change your aspirations at will.
Although a matter may be considered trivial, but if it is wrong to do it or unfair to the other person, do not do it thinking it will bear little or no consequence.
If you do, you are not being a dutiful child because parents do not want to see their child doing things that are irrational or illegal.
Even though an object may be small, do not hoard it.
If you do, your parents will be heartbroken.
My view:
Be a good child, study hard and having good habits.

Take good care of parents

Dear readers,
Let us study the student guide.
Chapter 1: At home, be dutiful to your parents.
Part 2:
In the winter, keep your parents warm,
In the summer, keep your parents cool.
Greet them in the morning to show them that you care,
At night be sure that they rest well.
Before going out, tell your parents where you are going, as parents are always concerned about their children.
After returning home, see your parents to let them you are back, so parents do not worry about you.
My view:
We need to give our love to parents with sincerity. We do things that do not let them worry. In other words, we should do our very best to give joy to parents. If we can do that, then we should further extend the care to others.
Let's start at home first. see you soon.

Mother's love

Today is April fool's day, actually I want to write a joke to make all of you have the good laugh because I simply want to bring joy to all of you.
Suddenly I think of mother and I would like to talk about mother's love.
I could sense it that my mother love me very much. When I was sick, she used her hands to touch my head. When my legs itch, she helped me by rubbing my legs. I felt warm for her caring. When I went out for work, I could see her eyes-fill of selfless love.
My friends, if you are mother, surely you want your kids to be better off. You want you kids to have better life than you. Do you agree?
I wish all of you can have the spirit of mother. Please extend this kind of love to people surround you.
For example, If someone better than you, you should be happy, treat him or her like you kids.

Good values

I have just read a book, student guide. I find it ready interesting and like to share it with you.
Chapter 1: At home, be dutiful to your parents.
Part 1:
When your parents call you, answer them right away.
When parents command you to do something, do it quickly.
When parents instruct you, listen respectfully.
When your parents reproach you, obey and accept their scolding, try hard to change and improve yourself and start anew.
My view:
We have to instill good values to those who are young. They should learn how to respect parents.

Good sleep

This week I have good sleep everyday. I will tell you why?
Do you have the good sleep everyday?

Bring joy to others

Gaming is a bad habit that we should not be addicted on it because it will make us greedy and greedy.
Every time when I pass by some shopping centres, I can see so many people queue up buying 4D, Toto numbers.
Honestly speaking, Many years ago, one day I happened to read newspaper, I saw my passport number strike 4D first prize. At that time I thought " Luck " might be coming to me soon.
The next day I bought the 4D ticket [ my house nos ], I spent just $1 only purely for fun.
Wow, I could not believe it, I ready strike and won $250 starter prize.
I bought some food to my workmates, I gave some money to the needy at that time. They felt so joyful. I realized that treating others are really joyful things to do. Did I buy anymore?
After that I never buy anymore because I realized that it can make one " greedy "
Greed is one of the roots of our worries. Do you agree?

Free from stress

Last post, we discussed about meaningful life. Many blogger had contributed lots of valuable ideas about meaningful life. In short, we must have positive attitudes towards life. We must treasure every minutes and bravely face and overcome all the difficulties in life.
It is ready sad to know that some bright students do not know how to handle stress in their lives? Some bright students even committed suicide while having lots of stress. why?
Let's think about these, I will talk about in my next post.
Stress-free life, yes, we can.

Meaningful life

Most of the time, When someone dropped the comment on my posts, I like to wish him or her wealthy, healthy and happy. Also, I sincerely wish all of them having meaningful and fulfilling life.
My last post--Take a break, idealpinkrose said:" meaningful life is when you enjoy every minute of your life..."
Since our lives are so precious, it is great to have the meaningful throughout.
I think all of you should know " Meaningful life " clearly and have the direction. I know most of you have the guide. You just follow your guide, that will be fine.
Before I talk about it, let's think first....
What is actually meaningful life means?
Tell me what is your thinking?
See you soon.
Sincerely wish all of you happy, wealthy and healthy.
Let's free from worries, fear.

Take a break

Please be informed that coolingstar9 will be taking a break.
The weather here in Singapore is so hot. I need to drink a lot of water.
I decided to take a break.
It is time to go swimming. I feel so relaxed and happy now.
Life should like that, simple yet joyful. Want to join me?
Simple life is the best.
We should have a meaningful life.
Meaningful life is not because you have a lot of money.
It means .....
Talk to you next post.

left and right

On my previous post-helping hand, I had received some comments that are ready good to ponder it further.
Economic downturn globally- Our Love Story said:" hi coolingstar9! the economic crisis is a global issue and we can really feel how this affects our lives... many of the leading international companies here have closed and many workers lost their jobs... you're right it is the best time to show our concern by helping each other get through with this crisis!"
This is the hardest time for many people, so locally what we can do are looking your left and right and do what we can.
The Malaysia great blogger Faisal Admar said:"sometimes I'm pretty confuse with our country. we are busy helping other country but forget about those who are close to us... people who live in Malaysia especially.lets us donate some money to the needy around us!"
Again, I have to say that we should not forget about those near to us.
The reader said:" Who is interested in that somebody like Coolingstar9 lose Money or good bankrupt? "
If all of us have this type of thinking, then how to have the caring society? Helping others will not make us bankrupt but happiness within. The more we give, the more joyful we are. This is the best time to look your left and right.
The popular bluedreamer27 said:" I pray to God that this economic crisis that we experiencing globally will be ended."
Yes, with combined efforts from all countries, the economic condition will gradually improved.
lilyruth said:" Great article.. give a helping hand especially to those who cannot help themselves or speak up..."
Yes, it is good to give a helping hand including those who cannot help themselves or speak up. Let's cheer and start looking left and right.

How are you?

My friends, I just want to ask you a question-how are you?
For me, I am fine.
I know all of you have your special hobbies or interests. Wish all of you keep on blogging with passion.
Few months ago, I posted a question and received many comments. Let's take a look. http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/should-i-continue-blogging-or-quitting
The message is "keep on blogging with passion."
Let's cheer.

Helping hand

Because of economic downturn, many factories have to retrench staffs. For those who are well-off, it is the best time to offer help to needy people.
If you have lots of money, give some who are struggling.
If you have foods, give some foods for those who ready no foods to eat.
If you have no extra money, you still can console them or give advice.
If all people can help each others, this planet will be like heaven.
Wish all of you live bravely.

For some reasons, her mother had to leave the home land and moved to Malaysia together with elder sister, brother and younger sister.
She had no chance to study until 27years old.
二十七岁念小学
当时，许哲已经二十几岁，却还是一个文盲。
一百多年前，中国社会的传统观念重男轻女，女孩子根本没有地位，更别说受教育。没有读书的许哲，只能从事打扫的清洁工作，上进心强的她，一直在寻求就学的机会。
当时，槟城附近有一个天主教姑娘堂(修女会)办的小学，每次经过学校，听到小学生琅琅的读书声，她就不禁驻足，凝视着教室内那一张张童稚的脸庞，正专心听老师讲课。她心中十分羡慕：「我一定要读书识字，我不能一辈子给人家扫地。」　有一天，她鼓足勇气走进学校，告诉姑娘堂的修女们：「我想要读书，可是我没有钱，我可以帮你们打扫，洗衣服，请你们让我读书。」　修女们很仁慈，答应许哲的要求，并且让她住到教会后面的房子，每个月四块钱的房租，则是以打扫、拖地、洗衣服，做家事来抵偿。就这样，许哲开始了她人生第一个阶段的求学，当时她已经二十七岁。盼了二十多年的求学梦，终于实现，许哲像一块缺水的海绵大量吸取知识之洋，她每天认真地读书，虽然放学后还得做许多事情，但是，她内心有着前所未有的充实与快乐。在传统的保守社会里，女孩子到了二十多岁还没结婚，就会被称为是「老姑婆」。一般人认为，女孩子养大了，没有男人来提亲，只有两个原因，不是脾气太坏没人要，就是身体有病才嫁不掉。年届三十的许哲，又是小姑独处，不禁引来一些多事者的关心，每天都有人上门说媒，家里的门槛被这些三姑六婆踏进踏出，都快踏平了。「妈妈，下次这些人再来，我就把大门关起来。」看到母亲为了应付这些人而烦恼，许哲也觉得十分心烦。「这些人都是我们的亲戚朋友，不能这样子。」母亲说。「如果这样，那我就只好逃走。」许哲这样告诉母亲。母亲以为她说说算了，没想到，她为了逃避那些令人不胜其扰的事，真的一个人悄悄离开槟城来到香港。初到香港，许哲依旧做清洁工作。有一天，她看在香港报纸上一则「征聘启示」，有人要征一位能够手写速记的秘书。许哲一看到这消息，立即前往应征。她回忆说：「那次的应征很特别，老板是德国人并没有给我考试，就叫我明天来上班。原来他是研究字体的，看应征信就知道这个人能不能用。」因为能流利地书写中、英文，许哲顺利地获得了这份工作。避难到重庆
一九三七年，二次世界大战爆发，全球卷入一场野心掠夺的攻防之战。一九三九年，日本攻打香港，许哲的老板将香港的办公室移到重庆，许哲也因此来到重庆。避难到重庆，许哲依然得心应手地工作。当时，蒋介石的国民党政府迁都重庆，因为老板的关系，许哲还曾经替蒋介石和宋美龄发英文新闻稿给当时在重庆的英、美报馆。那一段日子，许哲过着富足优越的生活，当时，一般人平均月薪是二十元，许哲却已经领取一百五十元的高薪。有一天，她和朋友到一家高级餐馆吃饭，那是一家装璜华丽的餐厅，柔美的灯光配上悠扬的古典音乐，晶莹剔透的高脚杯盛着香醇美味的葡萄酒，使人的用餐情绪格外浪漫、愉悦。吃完饭走出餐馆，突然有一个人趋向前挡住她的去路。「请你好心给我一分钱买面包，我已经好几天没吃饭了。」那人伸出又黑又瘦的手，向许哲乞讨。当下，许哲心头一震，「这世上，还有这么可怜的人，饿好几天没饭吃。我刚刚那一餐饭，可以让好多穷人吃好几天了。」望着那可怜的人，许哲告诉自己：「从今以后，我不再多花一分钱在自己的吃喝穿着，如果我再多花一分钱在自己身上，我就是掠夺穷人的钱。」　舍弃高薪为助人战火蔓延到重庆，原本宁静的山城，出现许多的流民伤兵。当时，有一个英国的救伤队来到重庆，这是一个反战的和平组织，成员里大都是一些十七八岁，正在服兵役的男孩。这些初次离家的大孩子置身在一个语言不通，人生地不熟的异国山区，生活相当不适应。因为许哲能说英语，他们便希望许哲能到救伤队帮忙。许哲了解到，这是一个反战的救难组织，于是，毫不犹豫地辞去原有的高薪的工作，加入他们的行列。在救伤队里，许哲扮演起「母亲」的角色，为那些离乡背井的大孩子们充当翻译，并且为他们打扫、煮饭、洗衣，照顾他们的生活起居。抗战结束后，在重庆住了四年的救伤队返回英国。一九四五年，许哲希望进入护校学习，因为，她的内心对贫苦、病弱的穷人有一份很深的牵挂，她希望自己能学会护理工作，将来才能为老人、穷人、病人服务。当时，护校的学生的年龄限制是十七岁到二十五岁，许哲的年龄已经四十七岁，学校怎么可能收她这个「老学生」。许哲并不气馁，她写信给护校校长，表明自己学护理的心意，信中提到：「我不是为自己，而是为了帮助更多的穷人。」这一句话感动了护校校长，破例准许她入学研习护理课程。　护校八年，许哲用心学习，她学习到从小孩至老人，从出生到死亡，从身体到心灵，各种不同层面的照顾与养护，她默默许下心愿，要将所学的一切知识与技能，完全奉献给需要的病人、老人与穷人。前往巴拉圭一九五三年，许哲自护校毕业。有一天，她收到一封寄自南美洲巴拉圭的信函，那是一个由二十一个国家成员（加上许哲是二十二个国家）所组成的「兄弟协会」。这个组织源自一九三三年，犹太人为逃避希特勒的迫害而来到了南美洲，在这片广漠的土地上自力更生、自给自足，等他们生活安定，行有馀力，他们决定筹办一个收容所，主要收容沦落他乡的白人，后来也为当地贫病无依的人看病。这个组织里的一位成员，曾在中国见过许哲，知道她发愿要无条件为穷苦的病人奉献，便写信邀约她前往巴拉圭。许哲得知这个「兄弟协会」是一个专门收容穷人的慈善机构，其秉持着「世界一家」的理念与自己的想法不谋而合，她便毅然前往巴拉圭。「兄弟协会」很简陋，里面只有三位医生，却要照顾很多病人。许哲的到来成了收容所里唯一的护士，因此，她的工作格外繁重。在收容所工作，是没有薪资的发给，虽然忙、累，但她内心始终是愉快的，能将自己所学奉献在穷人身上，为他们减轻病苦，她感到很安慰。一九六一年，已离开母亲三十多年的许哲，突然收到母亲的来信。八十四岁的母亲在信中说到：「世界各地，到处都有穷人，妈妈只有一个，我老了，你回来吧！」就这样一句话，把远在巴拉圭的许哲拉回到槟城。　自离开槟城到香港，辗转到了重庆、英国、巴拉圭，阔别三十馀年，许哲又回到母亲的怀抱，母亲几十年来思女之情终于获得了慰藉。在槟城待了两年，因为妹妹罹患心脏病，要到英国就医，许哲便带着母亲到新加坡与姊姊同住。　一心照顾穷人
来到新加坡，许哲从姊姊口中得知有一个穷人医院，从一九一O年创办至当年，没有一个护士。当时里面三百八十个病人，因为医疗人员不足，无法得到适当的照料，她便自己推荐到医院来照顾病人。　许哲这一生，除了为当秘书那段时间有领薪资之外，其馀工作都是无薪职。「我之所以到那个医院是因为他们没有钱，请不到护士，这正是我要去的条件。」这是许哲异于常人的思考模式。许哲的想法是，如果一家医院有钱，可以很轻易地花钱请到护士来照顾病人，可是这家穷人医院，因为没有钱，没有人要去，所以她去。「并不是我特别喜欢照顾穷人，而是他们需要，穷人也需要照顾，需要有人爱他们。」许哲说。　在医院服务了两年七个月又19天，许哲决定自己办「老人院」，其中一个重要的原因是，不忍老人受饥饿。在那所医院的老人，一日只进食两餐。早晨七点一杯咖啡，十二点吃午餐，下午一点两块饼干，下午四点吃晚餐，晚上八点再给一杯咖啡。从下午四点到隔日中午十二点，整整二十个钟头，对那些身体病弱、行动不便的老人们来说，漫漫长夜里，躺在床上没有别的事，就是想着肚子饿。　许哲看了非常不忍，她为老人们向院方争取多一餐饭，得到的答复却是：「他们在这里，已经比他们在自己家里好多了。」　经过多次沟通，得不到院方善意回应，许哲感到很失望。当时她得到姐姐财务上的支援，每天买面包给三百八十位病人吃，亲手派送，楼上楼下的跑。姐姐深受感动，决定支持许哲办老人院。　创办「养老病院」 「我的姐姐是新加坡的一所学校的教长，她有一点积蓄，当我把办老人院的想法告诉她，她马上将自己存款提领出来，买下一块地，准备建造老人院。」一九六八年，许哲的「养老病院」成立，完全免费地收容了两百五十位的贫病老人。　初期，养老病院的一切开销，都由姐姐承担。许哲说：「姐姐的生活非常节俭，对我的想法相当支持，只要我需要钱，她二话不说就拿钱给我。」其实，许哲姐妹照顾穷人的心，是来自童年时期母亲的身教。当时，虽然家里很穷，但是，只要有穷人到家里来要饭，母亲总是会想办法分一些给他们。耳濡目染下，母亲的慈悲善行深深影响许哲姐妹，使她们拥有一颗仁慈博爱、欢喜布施的心，无我无私地去帮助真正需要帮助的人。后来，姐姐去世，她把所有遗产都给了许哲，许哲拿这些钱，帮助穷人购买房子。「有一天，我梦见姐姐在天上，穿了一身白衣，全身发光，对着我微笑。我告诉她，『姐姐，我也要上去。』姐姐说：『不行不行，你还有很多事情要做』。我知道，她一定很高兴，我把她的钱都花光光了。」许哲笑着说。许哲对老人的照顾无微不至，待自己，却过着如修行人般的「安贫」生活。她的饮食极为简单，一天只吃一餐，通常是一份生果蔬菜或是一杯鲜奶。她说：「我从小就吃素，因为我对鱼、肉过敏。」她也不曾花钱在自己的衣着上，她都是穿别人不要的衣服，有时从垃圾堆里捡来，洗干净再穿。许哲认为，「穿衣服是为了保暖和蔽体，无所谓好看不好看。」 许哲照顾穷病老人的善行，渐渐被社会大众所肯定。　「我的工作，有很多很多好心的人在帮忙。」许哲说，「常常，一些好心的人载了一大堆的米和蔬菜来，有时多到吃不完。我就问他们，我可不可以把这些米和菜，分送给其他的穷苦人家？」　在征求赞助者的同意，许哲把多馀的米粮分赠给其他贫穷家庭，最高纪录曾同时照顾二十六户人家。
许哲不仅在新加坡盖养老病院，她还到马来西亚、泰国、缅甸去协助当地的慈善机构设立养老院。她的时间、精神完全给了世间苦难的人，忘了自身，忘了今夕是何年。六十九岁学瑜珈
106岁的许哲，从外貌上看来像是六七十岁，她一头银白短发，皮肤光滑、耳聪目明、手脚俐落，每天静坐、阅读、运动、布施、做瑜珈，她的精神、体力不输一般年轻人，尤其她柔软的肢体示范着瑜珈动作时，令人屏气称叹。　她透露她的长寿之道是，今天起来今天做工，不停地做工，做人间的义工。同时，她不恶口、不生烦恼心、不猛火煮食、不吃肉、不沾咖啡、茶、酒。所以，身心能常保平静、喜悦。六十九岁才学瑜珈的许哲，提到学瑜珈那一段「心想事成」的奇妙经历。有一天，喜欢读书的许哲，在书中读到学瑜珈的好处，但什么是瑜珈？她却是一知半解。「哎呀！真希望有个人来解释瑜珈给我听，而且教我学瑜珈。」她在心里发出这样的祈求。


奇妙的事发生了。当她发愿要学瑜珈，过几天有一个人来参观她的养老病院，那人身着橙色长衫，头上戴着橙色帽子。　「你是出家人吗？」许哲问。

「是的。」　许哲又问：「你教瑜珈吗？」
「是的，我的工作就是教瑜珈。」

彷佛是上天听到了许哲的祈求，特地派这位瑜珈老师来到她面前。就这样，许哲开始跟着老师学习瑜珈和静坐。原本身体就相当硬朗的她，学了瑜珈之后，精神体力更好。当然，她将身心奉献给贫病老人的无畏布施，自然能得到健康长寿的果报。
她的手心有我的温暖　
除了照顾养老病院的老人，她随时随地都在关心周围需要关心的人。一九九四年，许哲已经九十六岁。有一天，她经过一位她曾经照顾过的106岁的老婆婆的家。那是黄昏时刻，天色已暗，许哲看到老婆婆家的门扉半掩，她觉得很奇怪。心想，如果人不在家，门应该是关上的；如果有人在家，门应该会打开，为什么会半开半关？　于是，她推门进去，看见老婆婆躺在地上。　 「婆婆，你怎么躺在地上？」许哲趋前，关心地问。　 「我三天前跌倒，不能起来。」老婆婆说。
许哲赶紧扶起老婆婆，倒水喂她喝下。因为老婆婆已经受伤三天，动弹不得、无法梳洗，身上发出异味。许哲帮老婆婆洗净身子，换上干净的衣服，然后到外面买了一碗稀饭喂老婆婆吃。随后，许哲联络红十字会的救护车，送老婆婆到医院。许哲帮老婆婆办好住院手续，老婆婆不让她走，她便留在医院陪伴老婆婆，一直到夜晚十点半才回去。
第二天一早，许哲又赶到医院探望老婆婆，护士小姐告诉她：「老婆婆昨天半夜两点已经去世了，她走得很平静、很安详。」许哲一听，心里感到很欣慰，因为，婆婆走时干干净净，而且吃过了稀饭。许哲很感恩地说：「婆婆给我最好的「礼物」，就是她在临终前让我握着她的手两分钟。」那真诚的爱，透过手心的温暖，陪伴着老婆婆平平静静地离开人间。
101岁亲近佛法
谈起学佛因缘，许哲说：「一九九九年，有一天，净空法师来看我，我问他我有没有资格做佛教徒？净空法师很高兴，为我做皈依证明。什么是皈依？我不懂，他跟我讲许多佛法的道理，我还是不懂，他说，不懂没关系，天天恭恭敬敬念『阿弥陀佛』就好了。」彷佛是累世的因缘，许哲一接触佛教，就欢喜信受。净空法师叫她念佛，她便开始老实念佛，不论走到哪里，佛号永远相随。虽然她没有求受「五戒」，净空法师却授给她五戒证书，因为，净空法师认为，纵使没有受戒仪式，她的五戒十善已经修到了一百分。无条件爱人许哲的关怀之心不仅限于老人，她希望开办一个不分种族，不分老少，不分男女的家庭式的「心连心之家」收容中心。 「许多独居老人，没有亲人或是被遗弃的，他们的食品缺乏营养，三餐不继，没有家庭的温暖关怀。还有一些带着孩子的弃妇，她们的丈夫或男友，有些在坐牢，有些在戒毒所，有些移情别恋。她们没有家可以回，被人遗忘在某些角落。我们希望提供他们一个温暖家，好好的，恭恭敬敬地爱他们，照顾他们。」「心连心之家」也将收容一些离家的青少年，许哲认为，没有坏的孩子，只有需要爱的孩子，孩子因为没有爱才会变坏，所以，对于那些需要爱的孩子，「心连心之家」也将会给予他们真心的温暖与照顾。许哲说：「我不是单独来此世界，我有许多同伴，帮助他们是我的责任，我爱他们，没有条件，因为我们都是一家人。」未来，「心连心之家」将为那些被遗弃的老人、弃妇、儿童提供一个中途站，给予他们家庭成员般的关爱，以恭敬心对待，建立他们的自信心和尊严。每当有人将许哲与德雷莎修女相提并论，她总是谦卑地说：「我只是一个会扫地，喜欢做工的女人。我来到这个世界没有别的责任，就是爱，时时刻刻都去爱人。只要我们的心中有爱，这个世界就是一个爱的世界。」

Be strong

Mr. A and Mr. B both are friends, they studied same school since primary one. They even studied degree course in the same university oversea. They met the foreign student Miss. C. in the university.
Both man love Miss. C. Mr. A was a scholar and had scored well in every subjects since primary one. Mr. A love Miss. C very much but Miss.C love only Mr. B.
Mr.A could not accept the fact. One day, Mr. A went to Miss. C's house and had the heated argument with her. The tragedy happened, Mr. A jumped down from the 9th floor and ended his life.
Although Mr. A was a bright student but sadly he was unable to handle love matters well.
We should not end the life just because we can not get what we want. Perhaps, we should teach something how to cope life matters in school-life is precious.

Live bravely

Now, I am writing this post, that means I have the hands to type and you reading my post, that means you have the good vision. So, you see for yourself, we are all lucky person in this world.
Yesterday, I read a real story that a person who was born without any arms could do wonder. She is Miss Jessica Cox, the motivational speaker.
She was born her parents were shocked. But they never made her feel like she was any different. People stared at her or made comments that she turned negative feelings into something positive. During her childhood, she learned swimming, gymnastics, tap dancing.
When she was 10, she took up taekwondo and earning the black belt. Miss Jessica, the psychology graduate can do almost anything someone with two arms can, including driving a car, brushing her hair, using phone, and even putting on contact lenses,flying plane-all with her feet.
Let's learn from her, do our very best, live bravely without fear in whatever situation-be a good man.
