...What Clings...

People are often unreasonable and self-centered
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives
BE KIND ANYWAY
If you are honest, people may cheat you
BE HONEST ANYWAY
If you find happiness, people may be jealous
BE HAPPY ANYWAY
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough
GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God,
IT NEVER WAS BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY

--Mother Theresa

I found this quotes on Julie's Blog Snips and Snails (please pay a visit and pray for her son ANDREW)...

I read this quote yesterday but can't stop my self to blog about it..

I often involved in a small argue with my hubby on how we shud "protect" ourselves from being fooled by others so just stop being too kind or how we have done our best but never gets the credits so don't do your best but I always stick on my thoughts that it is always between me and GOD.

I'm not trying to blame my hubby, please understand that sometimes we just ran out of patience and feels 'enough is enough'... I'm also not playing angels here.. but I know my GOD and He never fails me nor anyone else....

Mother Theresa got it all...It gives me strength... hope you do too...

P.S. Tomorrow is Vesak Day in Jakarta, so its a National Holiday... means... for a full time working mom like me... its time for family and a lot of FUN... have a BLAST weekend....

Definition of beeing RicH

Boss : " What's the definition of being Rich for you?"
Me : " hhmm..... its about being grateful and feeling enough of what you have now "

And he agree...

"The one thing that you nor anyone will never get to choose is your parents"

I forgot where I heard or maybe read this verse but it keep hangin around my head. It just wont go away, it pops out almost everyday... I guess I cant get rid of it because I cannot find the 'advantage' in it. For me every quotes or verse will always had a meaning and advantage. Well, I'm the type of person who loves wise words, verses and proverbs because it helps in many ways. But this one.... hhmmm...

Today, when me and my family were on our way to meet my friend, we use a motor bike, and my eldest daughter get to sit on front. It was on the afternoon and almost dark. Again, she forgot to zip her coat, she always forgot to do it. And I dont know why but my husband was very mad at her and yelled at her. She was shocked. Of course he got the point, but its not appropriate. Than, again this verse pops out, only this time it ring the bell. Now I know why I never get the 'advantage' in it, its because I never see it from the parent side. Its like punch in the head, now that I'm a parent, it makes me think 'what kind of parent I have been??' and will learn not to blame them in any way because...poor them, they didn't get to choose....

Well I hope, someday if my daughters heard this verse they didn't say 'why that sound like a very bad news??!! can we just, like, roll it all over again' ....

Its About Taking Big Steps

Well I'm not going to talk about my youngest daughter who recently are learning to walk faster and jump here and there. I'm talking about when you finally end up in a spot in your life when you must whether you like it or not take big step to make a change for a better living, to thrive for your own sake or others. When I surf the net for BIG STEPS picture, came along a lot of picture showing a newly established business, couples getting married, or even a child or grown ups who literally is taking a big steps.

As a closer loop, a friend of mine who is finally taking a big step by adopting a child after a long years of waiting of their own, or a cousin who is finally takes a big steps to get married with our distant relatives for an arrange marriage.Whatever the cause and motives nor the aims and purposes, its tough and its not easy. It took courage, serious and repetitive thoughts it wouldn't be a BIG one if it doesn't. Because on some cases it could pull you out of your comfort zone or at least the zone that you "think" its comforting enough, but you'll never know until you have taken it.

The results, well, only the decision maker could feel the greatest impact. But one had to make sure that its the best and he/she deserves the result. If its for others sake, you must be sincere or you will regret it. But for me, there's no such things like that, every big step we made for others sake, in a way will also do something for ourselves eventually.

The most important thing is to never be afraid, be true to your self and follow you heart...

“Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.”

David Lloyd George quotes (British Prime Minister. 1863-1945)

I hope its not a boring post...

..They are Ours..

He's just 4 years old. This picture has been on the news today. And the story that follows, that this kid has been smoking since he was 1,5 years old.... can you believe that?? He even say bad words, the grown-ups on the video is just laugh at him like it is some kind of a really funny joke... According to the news, the parents didn't even feel guilty or ashamed when they told the media regarding their kid behaviour. How can they do this...what on earth happen to these people...

Child neglected, exploitated, i say exploitated because the parents of this kid deliberately uploaded the video to Youtube to get attention. Other case also saw on the net today, how the patient with the help of the nurse and the doctor throw away their new born babies in a plastic bags and had the "Medical Waste" written all over it. When discovered there at least 27 dead babies is in that bag. And I'm sure that is just not that it, there a lot of unrevealed stories like this, when the children is not counted and treated as human. There are many reasons why the parents are capable of doing these things, economy problems, mislead behaviour, their customs or even country regulations. But, I'm more dissapointed with the people around them that stay silence and choose to be ignorant. They know its not right but still didn't do anything about it.... And what about the nurses and doctors that help those patient to throw away the babies? whats with them? Didn't they had children or at least small size family members of their own? I just cannot believe they actually agreed to do such things. I'm a mother of 2 beautifull daughters and I always try to teach my daughters as much as I can to care for others. Those children have the same rights as my daughters have. It breaks my heart everytime I saw underaged childred wondering around the streets begging for money and forced to make money of their own.They're all have the rights to live, to be loved, to have a proper education, they have the rights to choose, speak whats on their minds. Treat them as you treated your self because they're also human only in smaller size. Feel burdened because they are ours in a way...that we are in this world together.
