Spilt milk

Have you heard of the story-- spilt milk? Well, we all know there is no use crying over spilt milk. But this story is different. I would hope all parents would respond in this manner. I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others? He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occured when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor--a veritable sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said,"Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such as a huge paddle of milk. Well the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up? Indeed, he did. After a few mintues, his mother said,"You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said,"You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson! This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiments "doesn't work", we usually learn something valuable from it. Wouldn't it be great if all the parents would respond the way Robert's mother responded to him?

What is success?

What is success? It is what everyone is longing for. Sometimes success would be rather simple.Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success. However, as a person's whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don't think so. I believe success is the realization of people's hopes and ideals. Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of them are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that is success and all they do is for this purpose. But the problem is whether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real success we need something inside, which is the realization of people's hopes and ideals. Different people have different ideas about success, because people's hopes and ideas vary from one onother. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, because it is not easy to come by, because in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patience, courage and sense of responsibilty. These are the best treasures. But I am sure every success leads to an ever -brighter future. So friends, believe in our hopes; believe in ourselves. We, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!

Hi! Alam nyo ba na habang buhay ka ay may buhay. Ano man ang katayuan mo sa mundo ang mahalaga ay buhay ka. Di ba. Mayaman ka man o mahirap ang mahalaga ay buhay ka. Pero bakit ang iba eh... parang nawawalan na ng buhay o pag-asa sa buhay? Ano nga ba ang dahilan? Pera? Pagkain? Damit? Bahay at kotse? Kayaman? Ano sa tingin mo? Ang iba sabi nila, " Naku! gusto ko ng mamatay kasi hirap na hirap na ako!" Ngeeehhkkkk....yun lang. Baka naman biro lang pala noh. Tapos makalipas ang ilang araw magkukuwento ulit at ang sasabihin eh " Naku! Muntik na akong masagasaan kahapon. Mabuti na lang at hindi natuloy. Salamat at buhay pa ako." Ngeeehhkkk.... eh akala ko ba gusto mo ng mamatay? Nakakatawa noh na nakakainis. Bakit nga ba?Kung nahihirapan ka man, huwag mong hamunin si kamatayan dahil sasalubong siya sa iyo ng nakangiti, nakataas ang dalawang kamay at talaga namang abot hanggang impyerno ang ngiti at naka gown na itim pa. Mabilis pa siya sa alas otso. Alam ko na. Ang gawin mo pala kung may problema ka at talagang hirap na hirap ka na, bakit di ka kaya magotso-otso di ba. Sabi naman ng iba tawanan mo ang problema. Lalo ka pang babata. Eh di hindi halatang namomroblema ka kapag palagi kang nakangiti. Pero masama rin naman kapag masosobrahan dahil nakakabaliw din pala. Dahil yung iba kahit tinatawanan ang problema eh wala ring tigil sa kakaisip kaya naman hayun...natutuluyan na lang. Kawawang buhay. "Life's like a play: It's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters""Life is not living, but living in health.""Life is constantly pounding you from the outside with millions of hammer blows, but you have the last word as to how those blows will change you."Kaibigan...sa buhay ng tao maraming pagsubok. Saan ka man, ano ka man, maging sino ka man, ang mahalaga ay buhay ka naman. Huwag kang mawawalan ng pag-asa dahil ang pag-asa ay hindi mawawala. Kumilos ka at labanan mo ang mga problema mo. Huwag mong hayaan na mamroblema ka sa problema mo, hayaan mong ang problema mo ang mamroblema sa iyo. Pero ang higit sa lahat ay huwag kang mawawalan ng tiwala sa sarili mo. Sabihin mo ng malakas at taas noo na "Kaya ko ito.", hindi yung "Kakayanin ko ito." dahil di ka pa sigurado eh. "Magaling ako.", at hindi yung "Gagalingan ko ito ." dahil d mo pa alam."Matapang ako", at hindi yung "Oka tokat." " GOD is with you my friend"
