人生只有兩件事

 人生只有兩件事，1，照顧好子女，不要讓他們日後成為社會的負擔。2，照顧好自己，不要讓自己日後成為子女的負擔

世上所有的遇見，都有因果

 你是誰，就會遇見誰 你的貴人，會因你而來，世上所有的遇見，都有因果.

撥開煩惱

 名與利，情與愛，不停糾纏人的一生，也唯有看破之人，才能撥開煩惱

生命的價值

唯有看破之人，才能撥開煩惱，活出生命的價值與意義。

How fast the years went by

In every change there is some pain

“In every change, in every falling leaf there is some pain, some beauty. And that's the way new leaves grow.”

给自己人生画上一个完美

I like this:

生是一次偶然 死是一次必然~！活着的过程 这就是人生~！不要求自己走出的每一步都是对的 只要求自己走出的每一步都是无悔的 人生足已~！在活着的时候要找到自己存在的价值~！让自己过的充实一点~！.既然来到这个世界走一回，就好好的活上他一回~！活着一定要属于自己的“目标”和“梦想”给自己的人生画上几道色彩~！要是找不到自己存在的价值 就想想 自己 给自己一个交代 给父母 朋友 心里最爱的那个他/她一个交代~！然后在好好享受夕阳美 傻笑一下 给自己人生画上一个完美~..！ 活着的意义就是为了寻找活着的意义

We can decide to look forward

As we know, change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward to, changes that we fear and changes that we feel so sad about. However, things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them to.

I suppose we have two choices. We can continue to feel despair about the change or we can decide to look forward at the new possibilities that the change presents.

Just a thought

Warm ties

The ideal, of course, is a close and warm relationship with our independent adult children.  There are some adult children who are truly wonderful about maintaining close and warm ties with their parents. But reality, for many parents, is quite different.

In Life's Journey, 更 好 靠 自 己

She was stronger alone

“She was stronger alone…”

― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.”
― Henry Rollins, The Portable Henry Rollins

My basic life principle

Translation:   No matter what you do, irrespective of whether or not other people are watching, just ensure that what you do does not go against your own conscience.

Letting go

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.”  -Steve Maraboli

“One thing I’ve learned about life is that if you really let go, it’s just a joy ride.” -Ricky Williams

The little boy and the old man

Source:  Compassion for the Elderly

The Little Boy and the Old Man ~ by Shel Silverstein
Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."...
"I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.

In the dew of little things

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed - Khalil Gibran

Hard Work!

I have no Napoleonic dream. I'm just hard-working and pragmatic.

Points to ponder

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” ― Bil Keane

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
