A Second or Two

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two ...

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10.. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.



REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.



L I T T L E Things...


What ever that happens in life, happens for good..... so stop worrying about the future and forget the past.

After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories of why these people were alive, and all the stories were just the 'L I T T L E' things.

As you might know, the head of the company survived that day because his son started kindergarten..Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck everyone was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone......... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment...

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated.

God is at work watching over you.


Beauty of Math!

Let me share with you . . . this is amazing!


1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to
give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say
they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where
someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula
that might help answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will
take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get
you close, and Attitude will get you
there,

It's the Love of God that will put you
over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with
your friends & loved ones just the way
I did.

Learn to Give

Vitachan - Shizuoka

Yesterday, suddenly I got a little surprise. My Step parents brought one pack of Rice (10kg) and gave it to me by the time I would buy rice because I run out of supply. He..he.., good fortune, I thought.

Feeling so happy, I send short message to my sister in Indonesia and tell her this story. “Why so good?? I get it when I need it.” I wrote to my sister. Then my sister tell me a story, this morning my mother call a “tukang becak”(a man who give a ride using three wheel vehicle) at front or our house and gave him a plate full of rice.

My sister felt so confuse, on what occasion my mom suddenly gave food to that man. My mother said, “So my sons who stay far away don’t less of food.” My sister said, maybe my mother refer to me who live far abroad. At that very moment, in the afternoon I get 10kg of rice. Wow, the payback so not fair, a plate of rice with a sack of rice. He..he.. not bad :-).

This happening makes me remember to an incident 20 years ago. Once upon a time on the beginning of hot season when I still on 3rd or 4th grade in elementary school in Bandung, there was a digging project along way at front of my parent house for telephone cable installation. Sum of all diggers were more or less 20 people. That works takes more or less 10 days. This works take my intentions especially all those big cables which will install underground.

First day of digging, the sun shine so intense. All the tired workers stop for a while from their jobs while wipe their sweat. They look so thirsty because none of their water supply still left. My mother saw this and without much talk brought a big teapot and offer cold tea to them. On that very moment, they take and drink my mom tea with happy feelings. Because there were so many of them, my mom fills that teapot until three times.

On the next day, my mom don’t stop provide teapot in front of the house for the diggers. Sometimes my mom can fill that teapot until 5 times a day with tea. If there were snacks like boiled bananas or other cakes, my mom also serve them. I was asking once, “Why only mom gave drinks for them? None of our neighbor did the same.” My mom only gave short answer, “Pity”, she said. Until that digging works was done, one of the diggers said, “Thanks madam, start from today you don’t have to provide more water, we move to other place,” he said while do farewell with my mom.

Day goes by until middle of hot season. Some people said that hot season on that year was long and more hot than years before. Not like water in our neighbor artesian well which dryer, our well precisely has a lot of water. This is a miracle. Even our neighbor next door use bigger jet pump, while we just using small Sanyo pump. Logically, land water in our house would suck up by our neighbor. But the reality was my mom sharing our water to neighbor next door using water tube across fence wall.

All neighbor in our block bought water for shower and washing everyday. Only our family didn’t lack of water in that long and hot season. When I ask to mom, “Why water in our artesian well didn’t dry?” My mom shaking her head while said slowly, “Is it possible if this is payback from God because of give a drink for those thirsty diggers?” No one knows.

Same like a teacher, more teaching then cleverer he is. So, give practicing which my mom do also against mathematics theory. One subtract by one equal with zero. But my mom do miracle, one subtract by one could be two, could be three, even ten. Wow………

At the Coast

Once upon a time at coast, seem two boys running each other, joking, and playing happily. Suddenly they fight. The bigger boys hit his friend on the face until swollen. Boys who get hit suddenly freeze. Then, with wet eye and angry face, with holding pain and without one word, he wrote using a stick on the sand: “Today my friend hit me!!!”

The bigger boys feel guilty, shy but stay in silent. After quiet for a while, yeah like other kids, together they playing again. When chasing each other, because not careful, suddenly the bys who got hit fall down in to trap hole which used for catching animals. “Ouch… help … help!!” He screams for help. His friend then seeing in the hole and scream, “Friend, are you alright?? Don’t be afraid, wait a sec, I’ll find a rope to help you.” That kid run for a rope immediately. When he coming back, he scream again to calm down while tie that rope to a tree. “Friend, I’m coming. I tie the rope to a tree, the rest I’ll throw to you, catch and tie in your waist, hold tight, I’ll pull you up!!”

After trying hard, finally the little friend got out from the hole safely. Once again, with wet eye he said, “Thanks buddy!” Then he run to find a rock and try to write on that rock, “Today my friend has save my life.”

His friends who follow quietly from behind amazed and ask, “Why after I hit you wrote on sand but after I save you wrote on the rock?” The little kid answer patiently, “After you hit, I wrote on sand because of my anger and hate to bad action which you’ve been done, I want to erase it immediately, like letter on sand which gone immediately with wind blows and wave.

But when you save me, I wrote on the rock, because your good action suitable to memorize and will stay deep in my heart, once again, thanks buddy.”

Live with hate, anger, and vengeance, really exhausting. Especially if the person who we hate didn’t do it on purpose even maybe never know that he/she have been hurting our heart, so a waste unhappiness.

Its true… if every mistake that other people do to us, we wrote on sand, even in the air, it’ll gone soon with wind blows, so we don’t have to lose every chance to get happy. Reciprocally, never forget the people who ever help us, like written on the rock. Which never gone from memory forever.
