It's Friday again.. Dah 2 minggu seluruh dunia menantikan kepulangan MH370.. As Mat Luthfi said in his current video, 'Buat Kepala', "If we can't help, Let's not make it worse".. True enough.. Let us pray for their safety..
*****************
I just don't feel like writing today.. So, hope these 14 short stories can somewhat make your day.. (^_^)
14 short stories worth reading,
feeling and forwarding to those you care ...... by http://www.fropki.com/
1.
FALL AND RISE
Today, when I slipped on the wet tile
floor a boy in a wheelchair caught me before I slammed my head on the
ground. He said, “Believe it or not, that’s almost exactly how I injured
my back 3 years ago.....!
2.
A
FATHER'S ADVICE
Today, my father told me, “Just go
for it and give it a try! You don’t have to be a professional to build a
successful product. Amateurs started Google and Apple.
Professionals built the Titanic......
3.
THE
POWER OF UNIQUENESS
Today, I asked my mentor – a very
successful business man in his 70’s – what his top 3 tips are for
success.
He smiled and said, “Read something
no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do
something no one else is doing.....!
4.
LOOKING BACK
Today, I interviewed my grandmother
for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When
I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you
look back at your life and the memories make you smile.....!
5.
TRY AND YOU SHALL KNOW
When I was 8 years old, I wanted to
play baseball. I asked my father- "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said
"You'll never know until you try." When I was a teenager, I asked
him, - "Dad Can I become a surgeon?". He replied "Son, you'll
never know until you try." Today I am a Surgeon, just because I tried!
6.
GOODNESS &
GRATITUDE
Today, after a 72 hour shift at the
fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a
hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her. She let
go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On
9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center!”
7.
LOVE CONQUERS PAIN
Today, after I watched my dog get run
over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And
just before he died, he licked the tears off my face......!!
8.
A DOOR CLOSES TO
OPEN ANOTHER
Today at 7.00AM, I woke up feeling
ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3.00PM I got laid
off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the
spare, it was flat too! A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted,
and then he offered me a job. I will start my new job tomorrow.....!
9.
LOOKING BACK
Today, as my father, three brothers,
and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her
last coherent words before she died. She simply said, “I feel so loved
right now. We should have gotten together like this more often....!!”
10.
AFFECTION
Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead
as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he
passed, I suddenly realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since
I was a little boy....!!
11.
INNOCENCE
Today, in the cutest voice, my
8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, “Why?”
She replied, “So you can help me save the planet.” I chuckled again and
asked, “And why do you want to save the planet?” “Because that’s where I keep
all my stuff,” she said.
12.
JOY
Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old
breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s
antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and
start celebrating it again....!!"
13.
KINDNESS
Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me
desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my
backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my
class and as he was leaving he said, “I hope you feel better soon....!”.
14.
SHARING
p/s: There are always 2 sides of a coin.. We just need to open our eyes and heart to see their stories..
