You are part of me

You are part of me now

You touched me,

With your kindness and love

So enchanted.

Your soft lips are kind.

Your eyes glow with life.

I'm glad you touched me,

You're part of me now.

Lloyd Carl Owle

Blessing

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet
May you have enough trials to make you strong

May you have enough sorrow to keep you human

May you have enough hope to make you happy

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light,
and give thanks for your food and the joy of living.

Irish blessing

May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you

Apache Blessing

May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries.

May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
may you walk gently through the world and
know its beauty all the days of your life.

Thomas Paine

Love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength in distress and grow brave by reflection.

It is the business of little minds to shrink but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct will pursue his principles unto death.

It is usually a surprise to discover that most ugliness we see in others is but a reflection of our own nature.

Learning

We learned by 3 methods
first...by reflections, which is the noblest
second...by imitation, which is the easiset
third...by experience, which is the most bitter

Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it.

Confucius

reflections

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't  mind...Dr Seuss

Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them but if you follow them they may lead you to your destiny.

May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.

The Star

I love the lights for it shows me the way and I love the darkness for it shows me the stars.

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.

When it is darkest that we see the stars.

Never neglect the little things

Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do.

It does not matter what others think, what important is what you think about you. You can never do your best if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities.

You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.

Og Mandino

Og Mandino

Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress.

Remind yourself that you have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can.

Never ever consider yourself defeated.

someone somewhere

Revel in your imperfections. Be entertained by your problems.

Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your smile and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile.

So when you are lonely remember it's true, someone somewhere is thinking of you.

remember

Always remember to slow down in life. Live, breathe and learn.

Take a look around you whenever you have the time and never forget everything and every person even it has the least place within your heart.

Hope

We can live for about forty days without food, about three days without water,
about eight minutes without air but only one second without hope.

Maya Angelou

People will forget what you said.

People will forget what you did.

But people will never forget how you made them feel.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Che Guevera

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

09.10.2010...living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Cato the Elder

Anger so clouds the mind that it cannot perceive the truth.

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tounge, he approaches nearest to God who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

Patience is the greatest of all virtues.

It is sometimes the height of wisdom to feign stupidity.

Bukan Kerana Nama

Jangan kau pandang bibir yang manis
Kerana dia bisa menghancurkan
Jangan kau pandang wajah yang indah
Kerana dia bisa meracunmu

Dengarlah hai teman
Dengarkan bersama
Aku menulis bukan kerna nama
Kerna sifat kasih
Pada sesama insan
Dan menyatakan kasih sayangmu
Kita sama semuanya sama
Apa yang ada hanyalah kehidupan

Jangan kau dengar puisi dusta
Kerana dia bisa merosakkan jiwamu
Dengarkanlah puisi di pusaka
Yang telah turun temurun hari ini

Jangan kau alas hatimu itu
Dengan secebis warna kehitaman
Dialah seperti anai-anai
Lambat laun hancurlah dirimu

Ramli Sarip & A Romzie (Mohamad Bakri Johari)

Oscar Wilde

Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is to late that that the only things one never regret are one's mistakes.

To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

Still hung up on mistakes... :'(

A life making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing...George Bernard Shaw

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake...Napoleon Bonaparte

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior...Henry C Link

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power...Hugh White

Still on mistakes

Mistakes, obviously, show us what needs improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what we had to work on?

To avoid situation in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.

Peter McWilliams

on mistake

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

James Joyce

The old salamander, it would not do the unnecessary things to avoid making mistakes and thus have a safe but boring life.

Lately been making lot of mistakes and looking for inspirations to overcome it...

People

This life is all about giving and living to the fullest and going through everythings this world has to offer...the good times, the bad times, the happy times, the sad times and to never give up.

And remember that  the most important things in life is people.

worst of times

I thought that what I have gone through before was the worst of times in my life and that nothing in this world after that can affect me any more.

Never do I expect that things happening now can hurt me much worse than before. Is this than the worst times in my life?
