...and Music for all...

BE PATIENT

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.

The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment.

When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputatethe fingers from both the boy's hands.

When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"

The father went home and committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often can't.

Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us  forever.

Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive and forget. Love one and all.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market.

On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey.He walked besides them.

Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.

Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you."Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left.

Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river.

You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you.  Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work...

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticise your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships...
When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship...

Lack of trust leads to suspicion...
suspicion generates anger..
anger causes enmity...
and enmity may result in separation...

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are...
something to do, something to love, and something to hope for...

The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning...
Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers...

I am uncertain...
hahaha...

Jingal's quotes of the day...

Help a man when he is in trouble...
and he will remember you when he is in trouble again...

Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand and wrong answers...

Behind every successful woman...
is a man who is surprised...

Whoever said money cannnot buy happiness...
did not know where to shop...

Most people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them...

The number of people looking at you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action...

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said couldn’t be done...

Marriage means expectations and expectations mean conflict...

-- Paxton Blair (1892-1974), Writer, author, essayist

In fact...
any form partnering means commitments and expectations...
the point is...
how do we avoid/solve the conflict...

Partnering, is never one way...
that's why the singles and solos...

I used to always think that I'd look back on us crying and laugh...
but...
I never thought I'd look back on us laughing and cry...

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation...; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company...

Confidence comes not from always being right...
but from not fearing to be wrong...

To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it...
for when we fail, our pride supports...
when we succeed, it betrays us...

-- Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832), Writer, author

You can measure a man by the position it takes to discourage him...

When government accepts responsibility for people...
then people no longer take responsibility for themselves...
