      Life is harder when you complicate the simple things.

      So Keep it Simple...

        Read the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh if you are into Zen.


        Go to Google Books to get a sampling or borrow from the library.

        Happy Reading!

            A BEAUTIFUL STORY ~ Self Appraisal

            *A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
            The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

            Boy : “Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
            Woman : (at the other end of the phone line) “I already have someone to cut my lawn.”
            Boy : “Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now.”
            Woman : I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
            Boy : (with more perseverance) “Lady, I’ll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
            Woman : No, thank you.

            With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.

            Store Owner : “Son… I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.”
            Boy : “No thanks,
            Store Owner : But you were really pleading for one.
            Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my performance at
            the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!” *

            ** This is called self Appraisal”** Give your best and the world comes to you!!!!!

              一哭一笑,一辈子就这么没了[img]


              http://i44.tinypic.com/2minmx.jpg\">

              出生的时候自己哭是因为:我要在尘世间受苦了!!!
              死的时候自己笑是因为:终于解脱出来了。

                人生短暂,绝对不要浪费心思和精力在这些日常生活小事上!

                不用去理会那些“无理取闹者”。

                所以,仁爱对待与你以礼相待的人;

                我们完全可以天天过着心里没有垃圾的日子!


                To be Happy Everyday... :xedfingers:

                      人生就像大海一样,有高潮,有低潮.

                      当高潮来临时,你就要顺势而游,

                      高潮过后,低潮来临时,就顺势而退.

                      当巨浪打过来时,我们应该低头回避,
                      避开它的锋芒,等到风平浪静的时候再卷土重来......

                        They say...our entire lives are like a bus ride...

                        For some of us the journey might be short and simple. Likewise some people's journey can be quite long and taxing.
                        For those who are calm and serene, they will enjoy the sceneries along the journey.

                        Some people always seem to be stuck in the middle of crowd. They cannot go forward, neither can they step back.
                        Then again it is better than those who are standing at the door. Those dangling at the entrance are in danger of falling off the bus.

                        Of course in order to travel in comfort, one must be able to get a seat. Hence everyone will be fighting tooth and nail to get a seat on a bus.


                        Some people seem to be extremely lucky for the moment she hops onto a bus there is a vacant seat awaiting her.

                        Sometimes there are seats which keep on being vacated but not the one right beside you. You wonder why...

                        But when you decided to leave elsewhere to have a better chance of getting a seat, the one beside you is vacant right now. How unlucky right?

                        In order to get a seat some people might stoop so low and they might even resort to quarreling or fighting with others.

                        Then again don't be surprised to know that some people are willing to give away the seats.

                        Some people are finally able to get a seat after resorting to all kinds of method.

                        The irony is...when he is finally able to sit...he has reached his destination.

                        When he alighted from the bus, he turned back and glanced at the bus. He reflected about what happened earlier on and he realized what he has done is not something he will be proud of.

                        However he acknowledged that he would still do the same thing all over again if he could turn back time. Because he believed if he didn't fight for his seat, he might not even have the chance to stand in the bus.

                        UNLESS you don't get onto the bus...BUT...the choice is not yours...

                        Even if you leave the bus, there are still lots of people in the bus heading to their destinations.

                        There will always be people getting in and out of the bus...it never ends...

                        So remember folks: life is like riding a bus. At the end of the day, we will all reach our destinations. Whether we will be happy, sad, angry, depressed or bored...it is up to us. So enjoy your bus ride folks. 🙂
