Story of Love and Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much she owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"

"It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

What Will Matter

Some day it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no more minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter?

How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built,
Not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character,
Not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.


**Anyway, congrats to NYP Table Tennis for clinching the DOUBLE CHAMPION !!

hmmm....

A little boy used to do as well in school as his elder sister. To spur them on, their father said the child with the better results would have a new toy. The family wasn’t well-off, but which child wouldn’t want a toy? In the end, the elder sister got the toy. Disappointed, the boy felt that he could never do as well as his sister. Not wanting to watch the boy give up on himself, his sister let him have the toy. But there are certain things which you can’t give up to another. With his pride wounded, the boy smashed they toy angrily on the floor, he even told his sister not to feel sorry for him. Upset, his sister ignored him for some time, by the time she wanted to help her brother in his studies; he had already chosen to give up.

True failure is when you decide to throw in the towel. So long as we work towards our goal, we will realize our dreams one day. Failures are not scary, what’s scary is when we choose to give up on ourselves. Though we can’t live our lives all over again, we can still try again after a failure, so long as we’ve done our best and learn from the failure, we wouldn’t have lived in vain.

relax though, i'm not doing illegal stuff, it's just coaching.. =P

happy 21 sary

在一個非常寧靜而美麗的小城﹐有一對非常恩愛的戀人﹐他們每天都去海邊看日出﹐晚上去海邊送夕陽﹐每個見過他們的人都向他們投來羨慕的目光……

可是有一天﹐在一場車禍中﹐女孩不幸受了重傷﹐她靜靜地躺在醫院的病床上﹐幾天幾夜都沒有醒過來。白天﹐男孩就守在床前不停地呼喚毫無知覺的戀人﹔晚上﹐他就跑到小城的教堂裡向上帝禱告﹐他已經哭乾了眼淚。 　　

一個月過去了﹐女孩仍然昏睡著﹐而男孩早已憔悴不堪了﹐但他仍苦苦地支撐著。終於有一天﹐上帝被這個痴情的男孩感動了。於是他決定給這個執著的男孩一個例外。上帝問他﹕“你願意用自己的生命作為交換嗎﹖”男孩毫不猶豫地回答﹕“我願意﹗”上帝說﹕“那好吧﹐我可以讓你的戀人很快醒過來﹐但你要答應化作三年的蜻蜓﹐你願意嗎﹖”男孩聽了﹐還是堅定地回答道﹕“我願意﹗”

天亮了﹐男孩已經變成了一隻漂亮的蜻蜓﹐他告別了上帝便匆匆地飛到了醫院。女孩真的醒了﹐而且她還在跟身旁的一位醫生交談著什麼﹐可惜他聽不到。 　　

幾天後﹐女孩便康復出院了﹐但是她並不快樂。她四處打聽著男孩的下落﹐但沒有人知道男孩究竟去了哪裡。女孩整天不停地尋找著﹐然而早已化身成蜻蜓的男孩卻無時無刻不圍繞在她身邊﹐只是他不會呼喊﹐不會擁抱﹐他只能默默地承受著她的視而不見。夏天過去了﹐秋天的涼風吹落了樹葉﹐蜻蜓不得不離開這裡。於是他最後一次飛落在女孩的肩上。他想用自己的翅膀撫摸她的臉﹐用細小的嘴來親吻她的額頭﹐然而他弱小的身體還是不足以被她發現。

轉眼間﹐春天來了﹐蜻蜓迫不及待地飛回來尋找自己的戀人。然而﹐她那熟悉的身影旁站著一個高大而英俊的男人﹐那一剎那﹐蜻蜓幾乎快從半空中墜落下來。人們講起車禍後女孩病得多麼的嚴重﹐描述著那名男醫生有多麼的善良﹑可愛﹐還描述著他們的愛情有多麼的理所當然﹐當然也描述了女孩已經快樂如從前。 　　

蜻蜓傷心極了﹐在接下來的幾天中﹐他常常會看到那個男人帶著自己的戀人在海邊看日出﹐晚上又在海邊看日落﹐而他自己除了偶爾能停落在她的肩上以外﹐什麼也做不了。 。

這一年的夏天特別長﹐蜻蜓每天痛苦地低飛著﹐他已經沒有勇氣接近自己昔日的戀人。她和那男人之間的喃喃細語﹐他和她快樂的笑聲﹐都令他窒息。 　　

第三年的夏天﹐蜻蜓已不再常常去看望自己的戀人了。她的肩被男醫生輕擁著﹐臉被男醫生輕輕地吻著﹐根本沒有時間去留意一隻傷心的蜻蜓﹐更沒有心情去懷唸過去。

上帝約定的三年期限很快就要到了。就在最後一天﹐蜻蜓昔日的戀人跟那個男醫生舉行了婚禮。 　　

蜻蜓悄悄地飛進教堂﹐落在上帝的肩膀上﹐他聽到下面的戀人對上帝發誓說﹕我願意﹗他看著那個男醫生把戒指戴到昔日戀人的手上﹐然後看著他們甜蜜地親吻著。蜻蜓流下了傷心的淚水。 　　

上帝嘆息著﹕“你後悔了嗎﹖”蜻蜓擦乾了眼淚﹕“沒有﹗”上帝又帶著一絲愉悅說﹕“那麼﹐明天你就可以變回你自己了。”蜻蜓搖了搖頭﹕“就讓我做一輩子蜻蜓吧……”


有些緣份是註定要失去的。愛一個人不一定要擁有﹐但擁有一個人就一定要好好去愛他。你的肩上有蜻蜓嗎﹖

变了， 真的变了

我要做个敢爱敢恨的人。 我要做个敢于说不的人。我要做个敢于表达自己不悦的人。

我不要再做个自讨苦吃的人！ 这样的生活好累！

我要做回我自己， 可是我却好像忘了我原本是个怎么样的人。 不，应该说，我根本不了解我到底是个怎么样的人。 我好像在人群中迷失了自己的方向。

以前常觉得助人为快乐之本，但现在我学会了什么是助人为快乐之笨！ 凡是都要看情况而定，否则吃亏，不开心的是自己。

满喜欢以下的内容，从友人的blog拿的：

我喜欢一个人
我真的喜欢一个人
我很想往一个人
我想我患了‘过度喜欢一个人’的病
医生也证实
说我病得不轻
因该往有人的地方多逛
多到有人的地方感受那里的气氛

我很乖
我有听话
在前两天去了有很多人的地方
可是不知怎么了我的病情因此极度恶化
身体不由自主地把自己关在一个空间里
没有别人只有我的空间里
医生怀疑我没有照他的指示去做
可是我说我有
还带了朋友和我一起去

只不过到了人多的地方
不知怎么了
我一个人的心情更加的膨胀起来
像突然心藏麻痹的病人
一发不可收拾

后来才发现
我在很多人的地方里会更显示出我一个人的病情
‘过渡喜欢一个人’的病更会像喷泉一样涌出来
我不能和很多人在一起
我只能继续得一个人
继续的忠于一个人
喜欢一个人

这几天渐渐的发现我好像成变了另外一个人，一个我不熟悉的人。

Would You Be There

If i were blue, would you be there for me,
And whisper in my ears that's okay,
Would you stand by me, let me hold you tight,
And say you love me one more time...

If I feel good, would you slow dance with me,
And touch my lips with tender love and care,
Would you die for me, would you run with me,
And never look back...

Would you be there...

If I were grey, would you still think of me?
And wish that you could hold me now,
Would you die for me?
All away...

Would you be there to love, to be with me?
Would you swear that your love is always true?
Would you say that you'll always be the one,
To take my breath away?

Would you be there to save my soul tonight,
Would you swear that your love is always true?
Would you say that you'll always be there,
To kiss my pain away?

Would you be there... for me...

Happy 20th

if you ever ask me how big is the universe, my answer will be: i dont know.. it's as big as it seems, too big to be measured, cos you cant find an end to it..

if you ever ask me how deep is my love for you, my answer will be: i dont know.. it's as deep as it seems, too deep to be measured, cos you cant find the end to it..

my love for you is as big as the universe.. no matter what i say, it cannot best describe everything, cos there is no word in the universe that can express my feelings towards you..

it's you who showed me what is love..
it'a you who showered me with care and concern..
it's you who chased away the storm and brought me sunshine..
it's you who taught me to become more confident..
it's you, it's you, it's all about you..

my life will not be as happening if you did not have the key to my heart..

for now, all i know is that deep down in my inner heart, you stand a very important position, and it's still so strong that even if a hurricane attacks, it will still stand there strongly and with pride.. =P..

i really cannot make any promises to what will happen in the future, but we both shall walk hand in hand to overcome the difficulties..

four more months to go..

to my dearest..

Life

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full they agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar . Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things- your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained ...your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."

Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

**When things in your life seem almost too much too handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee**
