Great inspiration

When I hear the news that Singapore's Table Tennis teams ( Feng Tianwei, Wang Yuegu and Sun Bei Bei ) beat world No 1 China 3-1 in the World Team Table Tennis Championships, I was overjoyed.
As you know China Table Tennis women team are always very strong that no other teams in the world can beat them for 19 year.
But Singapore women's team, ranked No 2 in the world finally beat them. Singapore had failed many times before that, for example they lost in the 2008 final and the Olympic final to the Chinese. Because of undaunted fighting spirits, Singapore finally become champion.
Just now I go to view the matches on Youtube, I can see how confident Singapore team.
Singapore's world No 2 Feng Tianwei, always want to be world no.1, her dream finally come true.
After the victory, the team manager said:" A lot of times, when we met them in the finals we lost 3-0, 3-1. But we kept telling them (Singapore players) that one day, we should be able to beat them....So, during the training, we kept drilling this into them - to have this mindset that we're able to beat them, because we felt that without Zhang Yining, it's one of the best chance to win them...A lot of times, some of them, when they meet China players, they tend to feel that there's a gap between them. If you watch today's match, you can see that Tianwei was even trailing in the first match. She was fighting for every point...That makes a difference, because....(in) Tianwei, you see the fighting spirit, and when she won the match, it really gave a lot of confidence to Yuegu going into the second match. She has also never beaten that China girl before..So I think that makes a lot of difference, because suddenly, they felt that, hey, the past doesn't count, that although we have lost so many, many matches, it's like a fresh start."
This successful story telling us that we can be success if we do our very best. How about get rid of our bad habits? The answer is we can if we want.

Cultivation is very very important

My young brother visited my home during the lunar new year eve. He has four kids age between 13 years old to 5 years old. Out of these four kids, the 5 years old son makes him headache. It is because this kid is very playful most of the time. This 5 years kid is studying in kindergarten. The principal of the kindergarten told my younger brother that the kid was so naughty and the school has lost the patience and hope. The Principal said that this 5 years old kid always disturb other kids like kicking, extending his legs while kids walking. The principal advised my younger brother to send this naughty boy to other kindergarten.
Hearing this, I told him that I might be able to coach him. These two days, my younger brother sent his naughty kid to my home, I taught him for three hour each day.
How to teach this 5 years old kid? I revised the student guide and do some planning work and I hope I can instill some good values to the child. My training was as follows:
The first day, I took out the student guide and we recited the first chapter together. After that I told him the ancient filial story about the child who was very taken care of the mother. I asked questions related to the story and repeated the questions again and again. My intention is to let him how the handiwork of the parents and we had to be the good kids so as not to let parents worry.
After that, I let him saw the DVD, the same story and again asked him the similar question. My intention is to strengthen his understanding on the good values.
The second day, I asked him many questions and let him answered. I corrected his answer if he had answered wrongly.
My questions to this 5 years old kid are as follow:
1. Do your father busy in work everyday?
2. Do your father feel tired after work? Why he is so tired?
3. What type of children are considered good kids?
4. While talking, small kids should talk loudly, softly or totally soundless?
5. Why we should not fighting?
and many other questions.
During the coaching, if the kid was naughty, I quickly wrote down his faults and told him immediately.
Surprisingly, I found the kid actually was so understanding. With my patience, I strongly believe he will definitely become the good boy.
My friend, if we can cultivate him at this age, he will be able to lead the healthier life later.

Joyful life

Helping others without thinking ourselves is the truly joyful thing in our life.
Everyday we should appreciate all people surround us whether they are good people or bad people.
If we see people quarreling, we immediately examine ourselves whether we still angry or full of hatred or not. We constantly change ourselves if we have any.
If we read newspaper about people committed suicide because of gaming. We immediately examine ourselves whether we are still greedy or have any gaming habits. We change it if any.
If people telling us that we're doing the good job. We immediately examine ourselves whether we're ready doing the good job. If not, we have to work even harder.
We appreciate everybody whether they are bad or not. We do our best to advise people who had dome something no right. We encourage those who have good habits, hope that they continue the good habits.
We do my best to put down our selfishness. We want to have harmony not only ourselves but others. We want to have harmony with all living things, nature.
All these make us joyful most of the time.
What do you think about the above-mentioned? Is it ready good for you?
