I love to write!!

Dear Freaders*,

This is for all who needs an emotional boost ^^

I integrated something that I'd written with a picture that I'd taken, Cheers:

You'll be Alright

Dear Freaders, :))

I wrote something motivational, in the slightest hope that it might bring light to any one who needs it. No one is forever powerful or powerless... Sometime you will feel down... But it's totally okay.. In no time, I believe you'll be alright... Pls feel free to leave your comments if you're still upset..

So, here it is...

Title: You'll be Alright

Just remember his face when you're afraid,
He'll show you hope when all has been raided.
He'll give you light when you're about to sway.
Just hold on tight when everything is in a fray.
In all these crazy array of shades....

Just close your eyes,
The stars are shining bright.
You'll be alright,
He is the shining knight.
At the first light,
Your spirit will be ignited.

Stand tall, pray even when you're facing the blade,
Take pride, breathe in and let your heart be staid.
Don't fall, cling to your beliefs.
Don't cry, soon you'll be relieved,
relieved....

Just close your eyes,
The moon is shining bright.
You'll be alright,
He is the shining knight.
At the first light,
Your spirit will be ignited.

Cheers :))))

Dear Readers, :)

I'd just finished reading "Have a Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. Mitch is the author of popular international bestsellers like "Tuesdays with Morrie".

Other Books from Mitch Albom:
- For One More Day (Finished Reading =))
- The Five People You Meet in Heaven (Finished Reading =))
- Tuesdays with Morrie (Finished Reading =))
- Fab Five (Sports book)
- Bo (Sports book)

Here are my 5 favourites lines from the true story "Have a Little Faith" :

1.      About Faith (p.47)

 

 “Let me answer with a story.” He said. “There’s this salesman, see? And he knocks on a door. The man who answers says, ‘I don’t need anything today.’
 

“The next day. The salesman returns.

“ ‘Stay away,’ he is told.

“The next day, the salesman is back.

“The man yells, ‘You again! I warned you!’ He gets so angry, he spits in the salesman’s face.

“The salesman smiles, wipes the spit with a handkerchief, then looks to the sky and says, ‘Must be raining.’

“Mitch, that’s what faith is. If they spit in your face, you say it must be raining. But you still come back tomorrow.”

 

2.      About Happiness (p.101) (My FAV!)

When a baby comes into the world, it hands are clenched, right? Like this?
He made a fist.
“Why? Because a baby, not knowing any better, wants to grab everything, to say, ‘The whole world is mine.’
“But when an old person dies, how does he do so? With his hands open. Why? Because he has learned the lesson.”
What lesson? I asked.
He stretched open his empty fingers.
“We can take nothing with us.”

3.      About Home (p. 111)

“A soldier’s little girl, whose father was being moved to a distant post, was sitting at the airport among her family’s meager belongings.
“The girl was sleepy. She leaned against the packs and duffel bags.
“A lady came by, stopped, and patted her on the head.
“ ‘Poor child,’ she said. ‘You haven’t got a home.’
“The child looked up in surprise.
“ ‘But we do have a home,’ she said. ‘We just don’t have a house to put it in.’ “

4.      The Second Death (p. 128 – 129)

The second death. To think that you died and no one would remember you … … Names quickly blur and in time are forgotten.

How then, I asked the Reb, can you avoid the second death?
“In the short run,” he said, “the answer is simple. Family. It is through my family that I hope to live on for a few generations. When they remember me, I live on.

......

(In the long run) “This is why,” the Reb said, “faith is so important. It is a rope for us all to grab, up and down the mountain. I may not be remembered in so many years. But what I believe and have taught ---about God, about our tradition---that can go on. It comes from my parents and their parents before them. And if it stretches to my grandchildren and to their grandchildren, then we are all, you know ...”
Connected?
“ That’s it.”

5.      Pleasure vs. Sorrow (p. 176)

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.

Hope these are good motivational reads for everyone! Cheers! ~~

 

My Late Night Writing

Patience is the Key

Hi all,

I was at the Traffic Police Headquarters a few days ago. I saw a few interesting banners (motivating phrases) on the wall at the waiting area.

I took a photo of the banner which was the closest to my heart at that moment.



I feel that Patience is really important. Time will tell everything. So try to keep your cool. And everything will be fine!

I hope it can give you some motivation at some point of your life. Please feel free to share your comments. =)
