Two travelling angels....please read it till the end....

ASSALAMUALAIKUM & SALAM SEJAHTERA TO ALL....

Something to ponder before u close your eyes tonite

Keep reading to the bottom of the page -- (You'll see).

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.

Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,

"Things aren't always what they seem"

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.

After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.

Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?

The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.

The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.

"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.

Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead.

Things aren't always what they seem."

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should.

If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage.

You just might not know it until some time later...

Some people come into our lives and quickly go..

Some people become friends and stay awhile...leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts... and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present!

I think this is special...live and savour every moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!

TAKE THIS LITTLE ANGEL AND KEEP HER CLOSE TO YOU SHE IS YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL SENT TO WATCH OVER YOU

What goes around comes around...

Hi good morning everyone, here's a beautiful story for everybody out there...well, maybe u had read the story but it's harmless for u to read again and again co it's very meaningful......

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help.

So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out.

His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried.

No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so.

Was he going to hurt her?

He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold.

He knew how she felt.

It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'

Well, all she had was a flat tyre, but for an old lady, that was bad enough.

Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.

Soon he was able to change the tyre.

But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him.

She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through.

She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk.

The lady asked how much she owed him.

Any amount would have been all right with her.

She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped.

Bryan never thought twice about being paid.

This was not a job to him.

This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past.

He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'

He waited until she started her car and drove off.

It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe.

She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home.

It was a dingy looking restaurant.

Outside were two old gas pumps.

The whole scene was unfamiliar to her.

The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.

She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day had change her attitude.

The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger.

Then she remembered Bryan .

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill.

The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door.

She was gone by the time the waitress came back.

The waitress wondered where the lady could be.

Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.

That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.

How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it?

With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard.

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.

There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around.'

Today I share with you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on.

Let this light shine.....

Attitude is everything.....Attitude changes everything...

Hello everyone...based on my last entry, i would like to continue writing about attitude...because i think attitude really is playing a vital role in our living...so, then, came an idea of sharing it all with u...Hopefully, everyone can have a change of attitude from negative to positive.....

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, then circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a family, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. 

We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes. 

Let's read this story as an inspirational beginning for all of u out there.... 


ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy", I protested.
"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning, and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door", Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?", I asked.
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?", I asked.
"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me", said Jerry. She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes", I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply... I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!" Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Jerry lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

Attitude is everything.  A person who has the ability to look beyond the outside of a person or what they might project....is a person who knows how to reflect upon other people's needs and know themself well.  They know how to react to people.  They do not rush to judgement on others and look honestly at any given situation and do not try to make themselves look better than everyone else.  They do not seek all of the attention....they give others a chance to shine.  These people know how to deal with a stress situation and know that all things can usually be fixed with the right frame of mind and that getting angry, upset and out of sorts does nothing to resolve an issue.  A person who has a determined mindset,  can see the bright side of all things and has sensibility to go with it; and it is evident that these types of individuals who have the right "Attitude" go further than those who believe their smarts are the best part of their life. Please note that there is nothing wrong with being highly educated but, being educated does not necessarily give one a ticket to Success.  Education must be mixed with interpersonal skills.

In our quest for the right attitude.....we must remember that our philosophy is not the only one either.  What our principles and knowledge is; is not the beginning or the end of all things.  Meaning, other people's principles and knowledge counts also and that all of us can learn something to make our life better from each other.  Yes, we can learn from the drunk on the street, if we so choose.  When we look down on the little old man lying in the street dog drunk; what put him there?  How could you possibly be there and do you have the courage to try to help the him or a person like him?  Remember; Attitude is everything.  Trying to help another soul is part of the "Attitude Is Everything."  None of us want to be there; how do we know how far we are from this awful thing or something like it?  Being thankful is part of the right attitude also and being humble and know that we are all "sinners, saved by grace" so to speak.  By the skin of our teeth we just might have missed some bad things in life.

Story about a Mother in Law...

 Hi there....just thot of writing about mother in law & how special my mum in law is to me...

A mum whom I would be respecting for the whole of my life…my mums had passed away…I have 4 mums in my life..my real mum, my foster mum, my step-mum & my mum in law…..i am not really closed wiih my step mum as I don’t really see her often but our relationship is good..

My mum in law is woman who is very caring, lovable,  motherly, hardworking, full of enthusiasm, talkative and lives in simplicity…she had a very long history in life esp in upbringing her 9 children (5 boys and 4 girls). Almost all of her children succeeded in life academically . Though life was hard when she was young but she survived with a husband who was then a policeman and earned a minimum salary to survive in life. 

She has a special instinct of a mum and could always sensed  something if anything were to happen to any of her children in the long run.  She is so concerned about each and every one in the family but won’t interfere any but had always given a good advice and not to side on her own children’s fault.  Well, at the age of early 80’s , she is not as strong as before but could still managed her own life with the help of a maid. 

Her life is always full of worries and doubts. As a mother she feels that she needs to know everything about her children. Still worried about what’s next and next.  By right, she should just be resting comfortly in her big home living without any worries and just think about her old days and not to worry about what is happening to all her children because her children are all big enough  to understand what is life within them. 

In her life now and without a husband around, she just need a shoulder to cry on, a pillow to rest her head, a companion to share her 1001 stories, a tv to watch a drama, a person to lean on and all her children around her every now & then to ease her ending days of life.  Thank God, she can still move around although at times she is having some aches in her bodies and she has to monitor her blood pressure .  

I am a mother of 5 sons and would not know what to expect from all of them in future.  How am I when I myself be a mother in law. How will it be?  Can I be a good and respectful mother in law, so to say .  Those days, when we talked about mother in laws, they are always referred to the wicked ones and so bossy and possessive about their own children and never care about their daughter  or son in laws.  The daughter in laws are always bad to them....or to the eyes of a daughter-in-law, a mother in law is always so fussy and what-nots...

To me, it all depends on the individual's attitude...let our children lead their own life with their own family...let them survive and settle their own problems..let them think and be independant....let them face the future ..That doesn't mean we don't bother ....Nevertheless , we can still give them advises, shower them with love and care forever...but not nagging them...we should be fair to both, our children and our son/daughter in laws...we must not be so possessive as they r not ours anymore although deep inside us , they r still our children..be respectable so that they can respect, not hating us...

Many things that i had learnt thru my mum in law...she is not totally possesive of her son or daughter, she is such an understanding lady and i really respect her for that..marrying her son who WAS a very  temperamental person is not easy & how to manage and make things work till 2day is also not an easy task...i tried and i succeeded....bad experiences taught us to be stronger each day...
 

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.

Alhamdulillah...

well, before i end up my entry tonite, this is a wonderful story about a mother in law...please read on...

A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married and went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.
Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.

Days passed days, and weeks passed weeks. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish.

All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress.
Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it.

Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for a while, and finally said, Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you. Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs.
He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious. Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."
Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.

Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed.

Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.

The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening.

One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again. She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law! She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her.

There fore, attitude plays an important role in managing life..

. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING....SET YOURSELF AS A GOOD EXAMPLE TO ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN....

Or is willing to lend an ear

When you are poor and penniless

And you are stuck in a niche

When you are down in your misery

And there is nowhere to run

And when your scars are hurting

And your heart is in fear

Making peace of your past...so, it won't mess up the present.....

Assalamualaikum and good evening to all...

I had been very busy all these days...got locked up in our study room during the weekends and had full concentration on my transciption work which is due tomorrow...too bad, although it was not mine but was instructed by my honourable BOSS to help my collegue as she got stuck with the english transciption...so, i got the "shit"...i called it a "shit" coz this one is a "shit"....luckilly, i am not having a high blood pressure or suffering migrain or any kinds of headaches...if not, i would have collapsed while doing it...i had put all my strength to end it up this evening and i felt so relieved when I finished doing it...no doubts, there are other cases which is needed to be transcribed but THIS ONE IS REALLY A BURDEN....

Well, it has been quite sometimes that i had not been updating my blog, Just thought of writing on something to ease my night after a very long-tiring day.... just thought of asking myself....Are regrets, bad memories, or losses keeping me from enjoying each new day? Is the past keeping me from moving into the future with hope and anticipation?

I recently heard a man say that it was not until he made peace with his past that he truly began to live.  It changed his life so drastically that everyone noticed there was something different about him.  It was not until 20 years after losing his father that he began to grieve the loss for the first time.  He finally allowed himself to face his past with all the anger and pain.  There was so much that he missed out on.  There were lost opportunities and things that would never be, so many regrets, poor choices, and bad experiences that would affect the rest of his life. 

This man went through a process of acceptance and forgiveness.  He felt the pain.  He felt the anger.  He mourned what was and could have been.  And then, he released it.  He made peace with his past, and he was ready to move on with his life.  Suddenly, new opportunities before him became exciting.  He began to fully appreciate what he had, the people in his life, and what he had become.  He began to hope for a better and brighter future.  He was ready to give more of himself to others.  And he began to enjoy his life more and more.

For the first time since he could remember, he felt free—free of burdens from the past, free of unresolved pain, free of bitterness and self-pity.  He was free indeed!  He was free to enjoy his life, his family, and all that he had like never before.  The past would no longer steal his joy and hope.  It could not hold him back, and it was not going to keep him down any longer.

Is your past keeping you from fully enjoying your life?  Sometimes we do not stop and think about it.  Just like the man described above, we might have regrets, unresolved pain, sorrow, anger, or unforgiveness.  These things keep us bound to the past.  The past does not have to negatively influence our future.  We can release it as we face it, deal with the emotions, come to accept what was and now is, and forgive our past.

Making peace with our past will lead us to experience healing, wholeness, and freedom to live our life with true joy.   Every day is a new day to appreciate and enjoy.  We do not have to allow our past to keep us from being truly happy today.  Choose to be free and take the necessary steps to be free now......

so, the weekend ends and tomoro we start a new day in a new week...coming soon a new month....

When your past no longer controls your life—your peace, your hope, attitude, relationships, ability to love others, give and share of yourself, dream, believe, and trust once again, then you are free!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

GOOD NITE & SWEET DREAMS EVERYONE...
