Hi,

 

 I just remembered one of my topic with my private tutor. I want to share it with you and hope you could be able to share your idea about the topic.

 

Topic: " If you were given a chance to go back to your past, What age would you like to revisit again? Why?

 

Most of them answered, they wanted to revisit the time that they were in their high school life, they said, it is the most funny and exciting year in everyone's life. However, I agree with them, but as for me, I would like to revisit again the time I graduated from university and got a job. I was just 20 years old. I'd like to revisit again my single life because I want to experience again my life at that age because being married, I can't do the things that I did when I was single....

 

So, would you mind to share with us your idea about the topic:

      " If you were given a chance to go back to your past, What age would you like to revisit again"? Why?

Time and Love Story

Hi Friends,

 

Just want to share you something about Love and Time. Sometimes, we ask ourselves, what is Love? What is Time? We come up into defining love and defining time, and by defining them, we come up into realizing that, hmmm... yes, I love my family, my friends my colleagues, my pets, everything around me that God has given me and we say, Time? ohhh... time is important. Time is Gold.... Time plays an important role in our life. And, most of the time we LOVE most of our TIME by saying;

" I'm so busy".

" I had a lot of things to do."

" My 24 hrs is not enough to finish all my work".

 

In such, we often, Forget to find time to connect with our family, friends and relatives and yet we say we LOVED them. And having richness, fame and others we sometimes forget What is LOVE in our Life.

 

SO, allow myself to share you some tales of wisdom that can realized us when is the best Time to Love....? I hope you like and you find some wisdom.

 

 

Love and Time

 

 


 

http://www.indianchild.com/love_and_time.htm

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, 
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. 

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, 

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

 

The Best Time to Love is now....

Hi my EC Friends,

Just want to share something encouraging story,  in our times of troubles and famine. Hope you like it!

Parable Of The Pencil - Pencil story

 

 

 



The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. 
 

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.


Now replacing the place of the pencil with you.  Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be. 

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person. 

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make. 

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.



Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

 

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

 

Parable of Pencils allow us to realized that no matter what happens we should stay happy, thankful that we are being created in this world to see and experienced what God has made for us and mark grateful things to human race.

 

Hope this parable can encourage everyone who are down, lonely and depressed...

Hope you like it....

To Love Somebody....

Why is it so hard to love somebody that both of you has it's own life already?

Why is it so hard to love somebody who gave you all the LOVE and CARE but you need to consider somebody's feelings?

Why is it too late to meet somebody who you thinks he/she is the one for you and you are a perfect couple?

 

Why is it that sometimes LOVE isn't fair enough?

Free Compliments

HI EC Friends,

I just want to share this to encourage each one of us to give free compliments to everybody in spite of chaos that is happening now on earth. A good compliment and a smile can change one's life.

 

During a time of economic crisis and depressing news, two students at Purdue University decided to lift the spirits of people on campus with some encouraging words. For two hours every Wednesday afternoon, Cameron Brown and Brett Westcott stood along a busy walkway holding a large “Free Compliments” sign and saying nice things to everyone who passed by. “I like your red coat.” “Cool snow boots.” “Very nice smile.” Some students said they deliberately walked past “the compliment guys” every Wednesday just to hear a kind word.

I was struck by these two young men who looked at people with the goal of commending them, rather than finding fault or being critical. Is that how I, as a follower of Christ, view others each day?

Instead of being like the person who is focused on evil and whose speech is “like a burning fire” (Prov. 16:27), we can take a different approach, knowing that what we say begins deep inside us. “The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones” (vv.23-24).

Kind words may be free, but they give a priceless lift of spirit. Why not encourage someone today?


The power in words can build up or tear down—
Create a big smile or produce a sad frown;
So in all your contacts with people each day,
Be sure to encourage in all that you say. —Fitzhugh

 

A gentle word of compliment falls lightly
but it carries great weight.

They say SMILE is a special gift that you can give to someone and a special way of showing LOVE. When you smile to someone he/she feels important and loved.But, why is it very hard to smile when your heart is aching?
