The Pencil & Eraser

Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorr...y cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was created to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Eventhough one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

This is an inspiring conversation between the pencil and the eraser.
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.
Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on).
Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying or sad.

Confidence, Trust, Hope

CONFIDENCE
Once all village people decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella.
....... that's Confidence.

TRUST
The feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air; he laughs, because he knows you will catch him.
....... that's Trust.

HOPE
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still we have plans for the coming day.
....... that's Hope.

Are You Goinig To Finish STRONG ?

Be Innovative, Be Creative

A blind boy sat by the street corner with a hat by his feet and a sign which read “I am blind, please help”.
There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man walked pass, took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.
He then took the sign, turned it around and wrote come words.
He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up.
A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon the man came to see how things were.

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, ‘Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?’

The man said, ‘I wrote the truth, I said what you said but in a different way.’

What he had written was ‘Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.’

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Both signs told people the boy is blind.
But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.
The second sign told people they were lucky that they were not blind.

Be creative, be innovative, think differently and positively.

I Dreamed A Dream

I and perhaps most the audiences and judges have written her off from the moment she came on stage.
But it was her gusty 'dare to fail' attitude and an opportunity.
From the point she hits the first note, the dream she dreamed ceased to be a dream.

90/10

10% of life is made up of what happens to us.
(And we really have NO control)

90% of life is decided by our reaction (to the above) & how we react is our decision.
