明星志工队 - Stars For A Cause

I love this program. Its rare that we have such programs aired on our TV.
Everytime I watched the program, it make me feel how small i'am.
The world out there is so huge. There's so much more that I can do.

I dont believe this is just all. I believe in the higher calling.
I must strike harder!

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

""A man can get discouraged many times, but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying."



LIFE THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

Empowering people is the key to building the lives of those around us. Once you empower someone by learning how to motivate and inspire them, they will want to be around and assist you in any way they can. Your decision to empower others will also benefit you because you first chose to serve others before yourself.

There are three types of people that you need to empower on a regular basis. They are, first of all, the people closest to you: your family, your spouse and your children and also your friends. Second are your work relationships: your staff, your co-workers, your peers, your colleagues and even your boss. Third are all the other people that you interact with in your day-to-day life.
So how do we empower people?

Always be positive. Empower means "putting power into," and it can also mean "bringing energy and enthusiasm out of." The first step in empowering people is to refrain from doing anything that disempowers them or reduces their energy and enthusiasm for what they are doing. There are things you can do every single day to empower people and make them feel good about themselves.

Next, satisfy their deepest needs. The deepest need that each person has is for self-esteem, a sense of being important, valuable and worthwhile. Everything that you do in your interactions with others affects their self-esteem in some way. You actually already have an excellent frame of reference to determine the things that you can do to boost the self-esteem and the sense of personal power of those around you. It’s simply giving them what you'd like for yourself.

Finally, express appreciation regularly. Perhaps the simplest way to make another person feel good about themselves is your regular expressions of appreciation for everything that person does for you, be it large or small. Say "thank you" on every occasion.

Thank your spouse for everything that she does for you. Thank your children for their cooperation and support in everything that they do around the house. Thank your friends for the smallest acts of kindnesses. The more you thank other people for doing things for you, the more things those other people will want to do for you.

This is what community is all about. Be a person of influence by empowering those in your world.

In conclusion, here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, continually look for ways to make people feel more valuable and important. Say things to others that you would like others to say to you.

Second, express appreciation for everything anyone does for you, large or small. Say the words, "thank you" on every occasion.

The Equilibrium Law

There's no free lunch in this world.

You want something; you need to give up something else in return.
This is the law of Equilibrium. Hard work and sacrifices are required. Make up your mind now, what you really want, then pay the price for it.

God is fair. Want something? Work hard for it.

DREAMS

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.


But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.

BRIDA - Paulo Coelho

“The path of magic – like the path of life – is and always will be the path of Mystery. Learning something means coming into contact with a world of which you know nothing. In order to learn, you must be humble.”

DANCE SUBARU~!

I a little too excited about this movie. Even now after watching it, I still way too excited =x

I first caught the trailer at Taiwan Xi Men Ding, and then on SG TV commercial!
YEA~! I love the show totally. Laughter, joy, tears, tensions and dance! Grins

For those who are working hard to pursue your dream, this show will give you some encouragement =) Like one of the movie song - Far a away by Kumi Koda, the lyrics is sooooooooo meaningful.

Some direct translation of the lyrics:


you can do it everyday
Quit looking back on your good old yesterday
Let's focus on today which is real

I can see
The path I have taken is correct
Even if there is a detour, the goal is the same

FOCUS

Friday, Jun 5th, 2009 -- No matter how determined you are now to walk your talk, distractions at work can pull you off your carefully considered course. Every fork in the road is exciting because each path that leads in an unknown direction touches your soul and calls your name. Nevertheless, it's crucial for you to keep reminding yourself that you are on a mission. You won't reach your desired destination if you explore every good idea on the way.

PATIENCE

Patience my fren. Patience.

I thanks thy for the guidance and the love.
I will wait on God.

Phil 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Wines and Life

"Never be ashamed, accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle. You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.”
-- Paulo Coelho in Brida

Outlook

Thursday, Apr 16th, 2009 -- You are the one that others look to because your practical outlook is just what they need. It seems as if your workmates have been inefficiently running around and today they have to play catch up, so they come to you for assistance. If you have been doing your job all along, now you are ready to slow down a bit and relax. Nevertheless, you'll still probably help out your friends if they need it. Just don't do it begrudgingly; do it because it comes from your heart.

CHANGES

The Story of Changes

Be assured of this:
when you do decide to change and set out along that path,
many of the people around you will not like it.
Merely by changing, your presence will challenge them to change.


No man achieves great success who is unwilling to make personal sacrifices.
To change, you must give up something in return for another;
There's no short-cut in life.

The story of eBay

A fren was talking about how eBay works. Millions of people are selling/buying stuffs on the world wide net. How do eBay verify their identity or rather their creditability?

The answer is: they dont! They build eBay on a simple belief: That all people are good.

Its a simple concept but that make eBay works!


There is good in all people. Have faith.



----------------------------------------
And Te Story I kop from Boss blog LOL =x


Again, expressed best by Gigi, another character from the movie..
"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."

Quizz from Khai~

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

khai, seems like we are quite similar? muhahaa

Life's Battles

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose you've lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will -
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are -
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
Bu soon or late the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.
