Alive

A man was fearful of death. He thought,"Is death in front of me or behind me?"
He thought to himself, "Usually people die because of accidents while animals die because they are being chased and killed from behind. That means death is from behind."
He concluded that to prevent death from catching up, he had to do things as fast as possible. Everyday whether he walked, worked or had his meals, the speed was three times faster than before.
One day while he was walking hurriedly, suddenly an elderly man with a long and silvery beard stopped him and asked, "You're in such a hurry, what are you after?"
The man said,"I'm not after anything, I'm escaping!"
"Escaping from what?"the elderly man asked.
"Escaping from death."
"How do you know that death is from behind?"
He said,"Because all animals die while running for their lives."
The elderly man said,"No, you're wrong! Death won't be chasing from the starting point but will be waiting at the ending point. Whether you walk slowly or quickly, you'll finally reach the terminal."
"How do you know?"
"Because my name is DEAD!"the elderly man said.
The man's face turned pale. He asked feebly,"Now that you've come, is it my doomsday today?"
DEAD said,"Oh! Please don't be afraid, you doomsday is not here yet. It's only because you run so fast, my brother ALIVE complains that he can't catch up with you. If you don't wait for him, what's the difference with dying? He wants me to inform you to go slow!"
"How can I meet ALIVE?"
DEAD said"First of all, you have to stand still and take a deep breath. Let your mood settled and then look around. Use your heart and love to feel with all your might, ALIVE'll meet you up."
When he calmed down, the elderly man said,"Look behind you, my brother's here!"
The man turned his head around and the elderly man disappeared. Instead he found that the street had never looked so beautiful before.

Actually you are very wealthy

A young man always complained that he was unfortunate, short of money to spend etc. Everyday he looked sad, without any smile on his face.



One day he met an old man on the street.
The old man asked him, " Young man, why are you looking so sad?"

"I don't understand why I'm so poor, always short of money."
"Poor? You're rich." the old man said sincerely.
"What do you mean?"
The old man asked,"If I give you RM1,000 and you let me cut off a finger, will you agree ?"
"No!" replied the young man.
"If I cut off one of your hands and give you RM10,000, will you agree ?"
"No!"
"If I make both your eyes blind and give you RM100,000, will you agree?"
"No!"
"If I let you become a man of 80 years old now and give you RM1,000,000, will you agree?"
"No!"
"If I let you die now and give you RM10,000,000, will you agree?"
"No way!" cried the young man.
"You see, you already own a fortune of RM10,000,000, why do you still complain that you're poor?", the old man smiled and asked.

The young man was speechless. Suddenly he realised what the old man was trying to tell him.

A New Beginning

Hi Friends, more than a quarter of 2009 has passed. It is a bit out of date to talk about new year resolutions. But I have some words to share with you, so whether it is the beginning or the middle of the year, it is not important. Most important is : it is better to be late than never.

New hope for 2009 :
1 center point - take care of health
2 basic pillars - take things easy, be happy
3 forgets - forget your age, forget the past, forget grievances
4 possessions - possess a warm home, close friends, good job and a will to learn new things
5 dos - smile, sing, dance, exercise and look trendy
6 don'ts - do not eat only when feeling hungry
- do not drink only when feeling thirsty
- do not sleep only when feeling tired
- do not check up only when fall sick
- do not feel discontented

From this moment, I hope you are inspired, motivated and enlightened in your life.
