You know i rather be sleeping than awake when a breakin in happens unless you are armed with a pistol or something. These guys could have parangs with them and are not afraid to use it even if there is a whole family in the living room. Even then if you think yourself as ready you wouldnt know cause someone breakin in could trigger a paralyse effect on yourself leaving yourself unable to move if that thing happens.

yeah u are rite. its very dangerous nowadays

You can't tell what's gonna happen nowadays. Crime is just everywhere and it can happen anytime. That is why preparedness and safety first should be always in our minds.

I have learned that the best time to know yourself is when you're faced with a great trial... when you choose to stand tall, keep going and take your trial as just a situation and nothing more.

I have learned that the most painful thing that can happen to you is to be betrayed by someone you trusted most... yet the sweetest feeling is to know that you can accept it, can forgive it and can live through it. Even more so... to keep hoping and start working at your next steps as if nothing painful really happened.

I have learned that no one else is capable or responsible of making me happy... and that I have to help myself by planning how to achieve my dreams and work at it one day at a time and not lose my vision.

I have learned that "NO" may just be the right answer... that the world will not crumble if I say "No" to someone's wish that will take the time that I do not have or resources that I can not give. Learning the power to say, "No" or "Not today," or "Sorry, I can't, I am busy," gives me the chance to focus on what really matters to me and avoid people who are unnecessarily dependent on me.

What do you expect. Pain is really, and actually a gift...that nobody wants.

I don't deny that... but I also expect great things from God.

*smiled with air coming out from nose only*

You really believe in that strongly huh.

Aih...but what to do. It is the faith of a child that is to be amounted.

"don’t let anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) steal your dream."
"if you want something, go get it, period"

Sometimes inspiration and motivations come from not from words.

Don't go against the current

Nothing you need is upstream

Everything you need is downstream

The way of nature is to adapt not to fight change

Where did you get this from? Amway?

I think its about forgiveness.
Some of the things said, i don't quite understand
but it kind of inspire me.

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.
She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling.
It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire soon the pots came to boil.
In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans.
She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.
She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee" she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.
The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma the daughter then asked,
"What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.

~ The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
~ The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
~ The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter.
"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

* Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?
Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?
Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain.
When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor.
If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level?
How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human & enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

* The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

* Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

It's easier to build a child than repair an adult. This is so true.

May we all be COFFEE!

that quote is apllicable in stock markets.

A butcher, who had had a particularly good day, proudly flipped his last chicken on a scale and weighed it. "That will be $6.35," he told the customer.

"That's a good price, but it really is a little too small," said the woman. "Don't you have anything larger?"

Hesitating, but thinking fast, the clerk returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused a moment, then took it out again.

"This one," he said faintly, " will be $6.65."

The woman paused for a moment, then made her decision...

"You know what," she said, "I'll take both of them!"


This is to remind us what we already know. It is the right thing to be honest and ethical. But for those perpetually challenged, you should also know that being dishonest always comes back to "bite you." This is just a reminder to do what you actually knew was correct - but still didn't do.
