Why do we need friends?

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the four seasons.

We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count on to treat us nice.

We need friends because we are social in nature
and having friends makes us feel secure.

We need friends to remember us once we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Don't forget

Forget about the days when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen.

Forget about the days when it has been cloudy,
but don't forget your hour in the sun.

Forget about the time when you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you've won.

Forget about misfortunes which you encountered,
but don't forget the times your luck has turned.

Forget about msitakes that you can't change,
but don't forget the lesson that you've learnt.

From Sitian's Friendship Page

Many people will walk in and out of your life.
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much morel
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature.
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Friends, you and me...
You brought another friend...
And then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our circle of friends...
And like that circle...
There is no beginning or end.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why it is called the present.

Whose hands it's in...

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Roger Clemen's hands is worth about $4.75 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A tennis racket is uselss in my hands.
A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A slingshot in David's hands is a mighty weapon.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

As you see now, it depends on whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in God's hands, because...
It depends on whose hands it's in.

Secret of life

The secret of life is to make the best
of whatever comes along,
Make everyday fresh and new,
Go in search of knowledge and experience.

Let your questions and
your answers reconcile.
Do your best to remember
that the best kind of learning curve
is an educated smile.

Share your magic with the people
who live in your heart.
Be a caring person who play for keeps.

To really know what success means, earn it.
Don't rely on some elevator to get you there.
The higher the floor you want to reach,
the more important it is to take the stairs.

The easiest lessons to remember
are the ones you learn the hard way!

Appreciate the little things
that make each day
unique and special.

I have realised that...

...the lonelier you feel, the lonelier the world makes you feel.

...even if I deserve the reward, I got to beg in order to get it.

...words had hurt me more than the wounds I had suffered in life.

...the broader the smile, deeper may be the wound inside.

...no matter how many times I pray, I only get what I rightfully deserve.

...when I am ecstatic about something, there are never enough people to share it with.

...a face is not as important as it is made to believe.

...it's not always a coward who gives up a fight. Sometimes smart people too.

...kids are never at fault, they just mirror out faults.

...one person's misery is another person's merriment.

...every relationship has an expiry date.

...I am better when I am silent.

...smiling all the time can really hurt.

...tears convey more than what words can ever say.

Try your best

We all can't be captains, some have to be crew.
There is something for all of us.

So if you can't be a highway,
then be a great trail.
If you can't be a sun, be a star.

It isn't by size that you win or you fail,
The difference lies in
just being the best at whatever you are.

Each of us is unique =)

Don't say you are not important,

It simply isn't true.

The fact that you were born,

Is proof, God has a plan for you.

The path may seem unclear right now,

But one day you will see,

That all that came before,

Was truly meant to be,

God wrote the book that is Life,

That's all you need to know.

Each day that you are living,

Was written long ago.

God only writes best sellers,

So be proud of who you are.

Your character is important,

In this book, you are the 'star'.

nice poem

Good morning, beautiful
I'm just writing to say
That I hope the good Lord
Blesses your day.

Take time and take care
To take it all in
All His wonderful creations
Are there at your whim.

So slow down today, love
Stop and smell the rose
God made it for you
He loves and He knows.
