what it takes..........

What it takes..............

Sometimes, it takes only one word to make a person close to you turn their backs on you.

Sometimes, it takes only for a parent to say ,"sh#t!" once in their lifetime in front of their kids and you find their kids saying it the very next day; probably even with twice the tenacity.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to hold back on a praise someone is hoping so badly for, to know that you appreciate what he or she has done for you.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to lash out at someone without thinking, to hurt another person's feelings.

Sometimes, it take only for a husband to say, "I love you" to his spouse to lighten up her day after a rough day at work but he decides he doesn't need to.

and....................................................................

Sometimes, it takes only for you to say, "Hi!" with a smile to your kids, and that's all the energy they need to go to school.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to be patient and educate another person who may be slow at learning. You'd surprise yourself how much respect you'd garner from that person for years to come.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to lend another person a dollar and he or she may be able to catch the last bus to see a waiting grandmother at home.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to say, "Thank you" to a good deed and make someone smile for the rest of the day.

Sometimes, it takes only for you to give the opposite sex a rose that speaks a thousand words compared to the word "love" alone.

Notice I have split a few "Sometimes..........." on top and below in this post. You would probably have noticed the difference in the the "Sometimes..........." on top and below. Ponder about it for a while, and put yourself at the receiving end of those "Sometimes...........". You'll soon realise which half of the "Sometimes..........." you'd like to be. Before receiving the good "Sometimes...........", why not start by giving the good "Sometimes..........." to those around you.

Have a nice day!

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program

the price of love - take 3

Deep down inside each and every one of us lies an innate power to do things for another person. Some things that can be beyond explanation, sometimes even silly and sometimes just really impossible to imagine. What I am referring to really is the ability of us human beings to care for someone else. Actually if you think about it, all living beings on this planet show the innate ability to care for one another. It's amazing how one person can show so much care to another person without requiring a reason. I definitely admire those who are able to care for another person selflessly. I may not know my ability to care for another person but I know I'd give it a good shot in caring for someone I love - parents, siblings, girlfriend. Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day. I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...
