助人为快乐之本

The above title is a Chinese saying that simply means being able to help others is a source of happiness.

To contribute to the community, my higher institute organized a 2-day SPM seminar for English& BM and I helped out there.

It has just ended. And, after all, if I choose to be negative, I could say, IT'S TIRING! just that... However, to look at the bright side, I should be happy to be able to be part of it, at least one of the few contribution to the school~ :)

Anyhow, giving it's not just about giving! I can ensure you that, it doesn't just stop there. It does continue with 'gaining'. :)

So, start giving!! The more you give/ help, the more meaningful your life is ;)

Cheers& God bless!

Speechlessness that leads to laughter~

Recently, I am trying to help out a depressed friend. In fact, it has been quite a long while now. This time, I lent her a book called 'Purpose Driven Life.' She then accepted the offer reluctantly.

However, few days later, I received from her a text message saying that she is sorry and she doesn't want to read the book. She doesn't think it helps although she admittedly says that it conveys the positives. *alright! Here is the funny part... She continued with,

'The reality is I don't even know how to DRIVE,I can't live independently. Can't go where I want to go, and no one wants to fetch me to where I want to go.'

To be frank, I do not know how to react to this AT ALL. I just laughed to myself unintentionally~

What do I really want to convey here? It's actually that, I am saddened by the fact that she is so helpless and she knows that but she gives up so easily without giving herself a help, a try, for ONE MORE time!!

Ok! I can't guarantee and do not even have the mind that she will be recovered fully right after finished reading the book! Really~ but, at least something to do to keep her busy and at the same time , being showered with positive thing than gossips and the unnecessaries or whatever that might make her feel even more depressed!

Anyhow, is this a type of personality one who is depressed cultivates!? And, what can be done practically other than prayers to help such bunch ?

Something to ponder upon~ :)

Take care all!! ;)
God bless~

When 'give up' is necessary~

Sometimes, it's just wise to not hang on to something which we know would bring harmful effect either to our history, present and the future. However, why is it so difficult to let go? I would only say, because of being overly pig-headed~ when we finally manage to get on, we would find out that we should have done so earlier! :) Hopefully, i can be considered as having reached that 'destination'!!

May God be our constant Guide. Stay humble and we shall see things even wider and farther, not being short-sighted :)

Take care!! ;)
