Bad Temper

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."

Where are we heading ?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading ....?

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.  But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.

So what is the morale of the story????

Don't work too hard... and you know what's the full word of family?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

The Invitation

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she said. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, Wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

OUR WISH FOR YOU... Where there is pain, we wish you peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubting, we wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through them.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, we wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.

Where there is fear, we wish you love, and courage. Peace to you

Ayam dan Sapi

“Kenapa sih ??” kata seorang kaya kepada pelayannya. “Orang-orang mengataiku pelit. Padahal semua orang kan tahu kalau aku wafat nanti, aku akan memberikan semua yang aku punya kepada yayasan sosial dan panti asuhan!” “Akan saya ceritakan fabel tentang ayam dan sapi”, jawab pelayannya. Sapi begitu populer, sedangkan ayam tidak sama sekali. Hal ini sangat mengherankan sang ayam.

Kata ayam kepada sapi, “Mereka mengira kamu murah hati, karena tiap hari kamu memberi mereka krim dan susu. Tapi bagaimana dengan aku ? Aku memberikan semua yang aku punya. Aku memberikan daging ayam. Aku memberikan bulu-buluku. Bahkan mereka memasak dan membuat sup dengan kakiku untuk kaldu. Tak ada yang seperti itu. Kenapa sih kok bisa begitu ???”

“Apakah anda tahu apa jawaban sang sapi ?”, tanya sang pelayan.

Sang sapi berkata, “Mungkin karena aku memberikannya sewaktu aku masih hidup, sedangkan engkau memberikannya setelah engkau mati.”


=============

Berilah dan berkati orang lain selagi Tuhan masih memberikan kita napas hidup. Lakukan sekarang selagi kita masih bisa melakukannya. Jika kita mencintai seseorang, nyatakanlah sekarang......jangan menunggu hingga mati.

Wise Wors FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. 

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.


You can only go as far as you push.


Actions speak louder than words.


The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.


Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff.


Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it.


A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.


If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else.


When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there


True friendship never ends.


Friends are forever.


Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.


Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.


What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?


NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?)


Everything is okay in the end. It's not okay, then it's not the end.


Most people walk in and out of you life, but only True friends leave footprints in your heart.

You are a very strong personality, there's no one out there will understand you. You are very good at pointing your finger at some thing and say "this is what".

You often suffer all the way in life. The problems will not allow you to study further, but you will learn the life in a very practical way. You are the one who will fight for justice and may die in the war too. You are normally very reserved with handful of friends and most of the time live life lonely and always prepared to help others.

Jagung

Seorang wartawan mewawancarai seorang petani untuk mengetahui rahasia di balik buah jagungnya yang selama bertahun-tahun selalu berhasil memenangkan kontes perlombaan hasil pertanian. Petani itu mengaku ia sama sekali tidak mempunyai rahasia khusus karena ia selalu membagi-bagikan bibit jagung terbaiknya pada tetangga-tetangga di sekitar perkebunannya.

"Mengapa anda membagi-bagikan bibit jagung terbaik itu pada tetangga-tetangga anda? Bukankah mereka mengikuti kontes ini juga setiap tahunnya?" tanya sang wartawan.

"Tak tahukah anda?," jawab petani itu.

"Bahwa angin menerbangkan serbuk sari dari bunga-bunga yang masak dan menebarkannya dari satu ladang ke ladang yang lain. Bila tanaman jagung tetangga saya buruk, maka serbuk sari yang ditebarkan ke ladang saya juga buruk. Ini tentu menurunkan kualitas jagung saya. Bila saya ingin mendapatkan hasil jagung yang baik, saya harus menolong tetangga saya mendapatkan jagung yang baik pula."

Begitu pula dengan hidup kita. Mereka yang ingin meraih keberhasilan harus menolong tetangganya menjadi berhasil pula. Mereka yang menginginkan hidup dengan baik harus menolong tetangganya hidup dengan baik pula.

"Nilai dari hidup kita diukur dari kehidupan-kehidupan yang disentuhnya"
