- The wise old man
I received this story from my friend, and I send it to you.
I hope you like it (^_^)The wise old man - A man of 92 years, short, very well-presented, who takes great care in his appearance, is moving into an old people’s home today.
His wife of 70 has recently died, and he is obliged to leave his home.
As he slowly walks to the elevator, using his cane, I describe his small room to him, including the sheet hung at the window which serves as a curtain.
- "I like it very much", he says, with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old boy who has just been given a new puppy.
" That has nothing to do with it ", he replies.
" Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether or not I like the room does not depend on the furniture, or the decor – rather it depends on how I decide to see it. "
" I can choose. I can spend my day in bed enumerating all the difficulties that I have with the parts of my body that no longer work very well, or I can get up and give thanks to heaven for those parts that are still in working order. "
" Every day is a gift, and as long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the new day, and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life. "
" Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the way. "
So, my advice to you is to deposit all the happiness you can in your bank account of memories.
Thank you for your part in filling my account with happy memories, which I am still continuing to fill…
Remember these simple guidelines for happiness.
1. Free your heart from hate.
2. Free your mind from worry.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
If you would like, send this message on….it is the way we touch each other with simple truths that spreads goodness in the world. Who knows, a miracle may happen as a result…. --- I wish all of your memories are happy memories (^_^)

Go Make Difference...
The Duck
A beautiful message that proves a loving point!
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given
a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he
could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for
dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he
let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He
was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only
to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But
Sally said, Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then
she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing. Grandma
said, "I'm sorry, but I need Sally to help make supper." Sally just smiled
and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help."
She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny
stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's he finally
couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed the he had
killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart,
I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing.
But because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you
would let Sally make a slave of you."
Thought for the day and every day thereafter:
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done, the devil keeps throwing
it up in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc.)
whatever it is, you need to know that God was standing at the window and He
saw the whole thing, He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that
He loves you and that you are forgiven.
He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you. The
great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only
forgives you, but He forgets.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.

Una poema de mi hermana
Mi hermano mi amigo,
con buenos épocas y malo con feliz y triste,
al lado de mí tú soporte,
al lado de mí tú caminata,
estás allí escuchar, estás allí hablar,
con felicidad, con sonrisas, con dolor y rasgones,
Sé que estarás allí, ¡a través de los años!
Is Time awaits?>
A touchy story, a touchy lesson for love of a lifetime...
Once upon a time there was a teacher and his student lay down under the big tree near the big grass area. Then suddenly the student asked the teacher…
Student : Teacher, I’m confused how we find our soul mate.Can you please help me?
Teacher : “Silent for few second, than he answer” Well, it’s pretty hard and easy question..
Student : “THINK HARD” Ha???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don’t you walk there but please never walk backward,just walk straight ahead.
On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.
Student : Well, ok then… wait for me… “Walk straight ahead to the grass field”
A few minutes later…
Student : I’m back..
Teacher : Em, well I don’t see any beautiful grass on your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn’t pick it up. But I didn’t realize that I’m in the end of the field, and I hadn’t pick any. Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn’t go back.
Teacher : That’s what happened in real life.
What is the message of this story?
* Grass –> is people around you
* Beautiful Grass –> is people that attract you
* Grass Field –> is time
In looking for your soul mate, please don’t always compare and hope that there will be a better one.
By doing that, you’ll waste your lifetime, cause remember “Time Never Goes Back”…. So try to accept what he/she is.
Follow Your Heart.......!
I believe that everything in life is a lesson. There is an opportunity to learn from everything. And when you’re faced with a hard situation, think about what you can learn from it and how you can benefit from it.Nothing should be totally bad, that’s not the way is supposed to be. No one’s life is perfect and no one turns out exactly the way they wanted or expected, but life shouldn’t be a burden or something that you dread.
You’re only young once, so you should enjoy it, and you shouldn’t be in such a hurry to grow up.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and everything that you do and all of the decisions that you make, the big ones and the small ones, are all important.
There is such a thing as destiny and fate, but it only takes you so far. You have to help yourself along the way.
In life, the end product is certainly important, but it’s how you got there that matters the most. No one wants to look back on their life and regret half of the things that they did.
You’re going to have to choose between a lot of things in your life. Sometimes it will be an easy choice, sometimes it will be hard.
But remember that you’re not alone and everyone goes through what you’re going through.
You’ll laugh and you’ll cry; you’ll get your heart broken at least once, and you’ll probably break someone else’s heart at least once.
Good things will happen to you and bad things will happen to you, but no matter what, don’t let anything or anyone control or drastically change your life.
Because it’s your life, you’re the one who’s going to have to live it. And, sometimes, you really can’t listen to what anybody else says, you just have to listen inside and follow your heart.

Psalm 91
91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.
91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;
91:6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;
91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
91:12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

To My Gaurdian Angel
I know you are there,
watching over me,
in the thin air.
I can feel you,
around me,
surounding me with love,
but you,I can barley see.
You gracefully float by,
with only your gown showing.
That's all I need to see,you know,
to get my brain flowing.
I see you,
also in my awoken dreams,
as a Angel by my side.
Thankfully,you never leave me,it seems.
I truly love you,
because of how you love me,
leading me towards the light,
leading me to see.
I know you will stay,
with me until I die,
Then we will go to Heaven,
and together we will fly!

My Angels...
My Ten Angels
Ten angels walk beside me, each and every day.
Ten angels help to guide me, to give comfort and protect.
They have been my companions since I was very young.
Now you ask me, "Why ten?
Do you think you are special?
Why not one. or two, or three?
Why ten?
Surely you don't need so many."
Well, each and every angel has a special job to do.
Yes, it seems that even angels specialize.
All of us know
Faith, Hope and Charity.
They are wonderful angels, and all so overworked!
But there are seven more you see,
and each and every one gives comfort and protects.
The fourth angel is the angel I call
Tolerance,
Whom I fear we do not use
enough,
for if we did there would
not be any bigotry or hate.
The next angel is the one I call
Forgiveness,
Who is under utilized as well.
Who among us could not do with more Forgiveness in our hearts.
Then we have the angel I call
Beauty.
We all see so much ugliness in life.
I don't know a single soul who
couldn't do with more Beauty
in their life.
The next two angels are the twins I call
Joy and Happiness.
They are the most often seen walking
hand in hand.
My favorite angel is the one I call
Friend.
This little angel is the one who can
bring real riches to our lives.
I have often heard her saying,
"To have a friend,
one much first be a friend."
And do you know, it works!!
And last but in no way least,
is the angel I call
Love.
Sometimes she seems so shy and it
seems like she is sleeping.
But she is always near.
If we would only open up our hearts
and just see her standing there.
For if we did, then all the other Angels would be
easier to see.
It is my belief that we all have Ten Angels walking
beside us.
They are sent from God, to see us through,
to guide, comfor and protect us
until the day we join HIM
in the place we call HEAVEN.

Somewhere between the *procrastination* and the homework..
and the incessant forwards
and the friendships and the calls
to each other complaining about CrUsHeS and
BF/GF!! Somewhere between the phone calls to old
friends and the "I miss you's", the " I love you's" and
the "What are we doing tonight's?" And somewhere
between all of the changing and growing...
somewhere between the classes and the skipping
classes...and the StUdYiNg for teStS...And the
PRETENDING to "StUdY" for TeStS...
And the downright NOT StUdYiNg for TeStS...
I forgot--I forgot what ScHooL was all about.
Somewhere between all the appointments, coffee day coffee,
and Eatalica... paying bills and then not paying bills...
Making plans then breaking plans... Appearing, Disappearing,
then reappearing ... I forgot--I forgot what it was like to cry.
I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you
happy... And that pretending to
be SmArT doesn't make you smart .. I forgot
that you can't just forget the past in
fear of the FUTURE... I forgot that you
can't control falling in LoVe..
And that you can't make yourself fall in *LoVe*
.... I learned that I can LOVE... I
learned that it's okay to MEsS UP....
And it's okay to ask for HELP!!!.. And it's
okay to feel like crap... I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN
and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day........
I learned that sometimes the things you want
most you just can't have and the things that
you look for are right in front of you.
I learned that the greatest thing about
HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe and the working world
it isn't about the parties or the
DRiNKiNG or the Hookups ...
It's the *FrIeNdShIpS*, which means taking chances.
I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget
are the things which we most need to talk about...
I learned that TIME and LOVE can heal all things...
I learned that just when you think it can't get worse - it does! ...
but with the love and support of friends - you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD
about L O S I N G touch and about those that you've lost!
They too, are feeling the same way....
I learned that letters from friends are the
most important things. And that sending cards to your
friends makes you feel better! But, basically, I just learned
that my friends........ Both old and new..... are the most important
people to me in the world AND.......without them, I wouldn't be who
I am today.....
So this is a THANK YOU to all my friends...
For always being there. And even if we're not on good terms
or we have lost touch... I will always have an unconditional
love for you..
~Always and forever

Mais Comment.......?
"How come can you leave at this time and still have a smile in your face?"
That was what I heard from a friend last day, as I left Him @ 1 pm. I stopped for a moment, trying to figure that out. "What could make me feel that happy?" I thought for a second. Then I remembered of an article that I read a few days ago and has a lot to do with it.
"The 90/10 Principle" - by Stephen Covey
What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean?
We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your sister knocks over a cup of coffee onto your favirote shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.
You curse. You harshly scold your sister for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your mom and ask her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your sister has been crying to finish breakfast and get ready for college. She misses the bus. Your mom must leave immediately for work. You rush to the bike and drive your sister to college.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing traffic fine away, you arrive at college. Your sister runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.
You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in misunderstanding with your mom and sister. Why?
Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your sister cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your sister is about to cry. You gently say, "It's OK dear, you just need to be more careful next time."
Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you should check whether your sister has got the bus. And you shouldnt except everything should happen.. like your sister should wave you back... because she may be in hurry.. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
P.S. Its not only happens to the person like this persons family.... its how u take on every person... with your friends...with your girl friend... with every one......
That was what I heard from a friend last day, as I left Him @ 1 pm. I stopped for a moment, trying to figure that out. "What could make me feel that happy?" I thought for a second. Then I remembered of an article that I read a few days ago and has a lot to do with it.
"The 90/10 Principle" - by Stephen Covey
What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean?
We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your sister knocks over a cup of coffee onto your favirote shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.
You curse. You harshly scold your sister for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your mom and ask her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your sister has been crying to finish breakfast and get ready for college. She misses the bus. Your mom must leave immediately for work. You rush to the bike and drive your sister to college.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing traffic fine away, you arrive at college. Your sister runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.
You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in misunderstanding with your mom and sister. Why?
Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your sister cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your sister is about to cry. You gently say, "It's OK dear, you just need to be more careful next time."
