Playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless.
Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.
Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens,
(What goes around COMES around) Think twice how you want lead your life... (",) Just remember we only have one precious chance but lots chose to REGRET rather than APPRECIATES...

how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.
You need to be able to throw something back
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you
But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others,
your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Do appreciates and treasure what you have now rather than to regret it in future.
This may be long but spending time reading it (again) will help ones understand life better.


The Wooden Bowl

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl
tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son...

Metaphors (The world and WE)

Dear readers,

Have you ever thought of politics are also happening in our body?

Just imagine that our white blood cells and red blood cells as the world populations.  Then our body parts such as our legs, hands, head and etc as the different countries that we have.  Our legs are divided into thigh, shin and foot, these are also like a country that is divided into different states.

So… If we are having politics in this world of ours, imagining it is also happening in our body, blood cells migrate from one part of our body to another part, just like us migrating or traveling from one part of the country to another.  Our body gets blockages from unwanted chemicals that are accumulated right? Which stops the cells to travel smoothly? Just like when we are traveling we faces immigrations policies and problems.  Just to say about cells, we have different groups of cells in our body, so what to say about us human being in this world?  We are somehow divided into different types of groups due to our own beliefs and principles’.

In your opinion, which part of the body is the most important?  Well to me, I think every part is important, without any one of the parts we will not be complete (as in physically), just like if our earth lost one part of the country the world will not be complete. So why? The question is why certain parts of the countries in the world would have war to destroy another country.  If our body parts is having war with the other parts how will you feel, because you are the world and your body is the countries and states.

So... Love the world just like you love your body... (",)

Cheers,

Sam
