In my lifetime, I hope to develop
Arms that are strong,
Hands that are gentle,
Ears that will listen,
Eyes that are kind,
A mind full of wisdom,
A heart that understands,
A tongue that will speak softly.

To be happy is easy enough if we forgive ourselves, forgive others, and live with thanksgiving. No self-centered person, no ungrateful soul can ever be happy, much less make anyone else happy. Life is giving, not getting.

Do little things in an extraordinary way. You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you. Never mind the past. Have the unflinching determination to move on your path unhampered by limiting thoughts of past errors.

The biggest lie in choosing is, "I can't." That is simply not true. We can do anything we want. If we don't do something, it is because we have committed our time, energy and resources somewhere else.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...
It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

BE THANKFUL

2004-09-01T17:50:00.000-07:00

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

PAKU

2004-08-13T21:05:00.000-07:00

Pernah ada anak lelaki dengan watak buruk. Ayahnya memberi dia sekantung penuh
paku, dan menyuruh memaku satu batang paku di pagar pekarangan setiap kali dia kehilangan kesabarannya atau berselisih paham dengan orang lain.

Hari pertama dia memaku 37 batang di pagar. Pada minggu-minggu berikutnya dia belajar untuk menahan diri, dan jumlah paku yang dipakainya berkurang dari hari ke
hari. Dia mendapatkan bahwa lebih gampang menahan diri daripada memaku di pagar.

Akhirnya tiba hari ketika dia tidak perlu lagi memaku sebatang paku pun dan dengan gembira disampaikannya hal itu kepada ayahnya.

Ayahnya kemudian menyuruhnya mencabut sebatang paku dari pagar setiap hari bila dia berhasil menahan diri/bersabar.

Hari-hari berlalu dan akhirnya tiba harinya dia bisa menyampaikan kepada ayahnya
bahwa semua paku sudah tercabut dari pagar.

Sang ayah membawa anaknya ke pagar dan berkata: ”Anakku, kamu sudah berlaku baik,
tetapi coba lihat betapa banyak lubang yang ada di pagar.”

Pagar ini tidak akan kembali seperti semula. Kalau kamu berselisih paham atau bertengkar dengan orang lain,
hal itu selalu meninggalkan luka seperti pada pagar.

Kau bisa menusukkan pisau di punggung orang dan mencabutnya kembali, tetapi akan meninggalkan luka.
Tak peduli berapa kali kau meminta maaf/menyesal, lukanya tinggal. Luka melalui ucapan sama perihnya seperti luka fisik.
Kawan-kawan adalah perhiasan yang langka. Mereka membuatmu tertawa dan memberimu semangat.
Mereka bersedia mendengarkan jika itu kau perlukan, mereka menunjang dan membuka hatimu.

"You Raise Me Up"

2004-07-29T14:58:00.000-07:00

JOSH GROBAN LYRICS

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
