Gems
of life
"Imagine
life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in
the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and
spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will
soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it,
it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health,
friends and spirit - are made of glass.
If you
drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked,
nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the
same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your
life."
How? Don't
undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It
is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't
set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you
know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things
closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let your life
slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the
future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL
the days of your life.
Don't
give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is
really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid
to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile
thread that binds us to each together.
Don't
be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that
we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life
by saying it's impossible to find time. The quickest way to
receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to
hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give
it wings.
Don't
run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've
been, but also where you are going.
Don't
forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't
be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you
can always carry easily.
Don't
use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life
is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the
way.
Yesterday
is History,
Tomorrow is a Mystery and
Today is a gift: that's why we call it The Present.

Flower
In The Desert
This happened
many many summers ago.
There
was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad
looking...It was growing by itself...enjoying every day...and
saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up"? And
the sun would say "Be patient"---Each time I touch
you,you grow a little"...And she was so pleased.Because
she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of
sand...And this is all she wanted to do---bring a little bit
of beauty to this world.
One day
the hunter came by---and stepped on her.---She was going to
die---and she felt so sad.Not because she was dying ---but
because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit
of beauty to this corner of the desert.
The great
spirit saw her, and was listening.---Indeed,he said ...She
should be living...And he reached down and touched her---and
gave her life.
And she
grew up to be a beautiful flower...and this corner of the
desert became so beautiful because of her.
