prayer in heart
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends.And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Be good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.
人们经常是不讲道理的、没有逻辑的和以自我为中心的，
不管怎样，你要原谅他们；
即使你是友善的，人们可能还是会说你自私和动机不良，
不管怎样，你还是要友善；
当你成功的时候，你会有一些虚假的朋友和一些真实的敌人，
不管怎样，你还是要取得成功；
即使你是诚实的和坦率的，人们可能还是会欺骗你，
不管怎样，你还是要诚实和坦率；
你多年来建造的东西，有人在一夜之间把它摧毁，
不管怎样，你还是要去建造；
如果你找到了平安和喜乐，他们可能会嫉妒你，
不管怎样，你还是要喜乐；
你今天做的善事，人们往往明天就会忘记，
不管怎样，你还是要做善事；
即使把你最好的东西给了这个世界，也许这些东西永远都不够，
不管怎样，把你最好的东西给这个世界；
你看，说到底，它是你和上帝之间的事，
而决不是你和他人之间的事。
——德蕾莎修女 Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Life is beautiful
1. A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: ‘I am blind, please help.’ There were only a few coins in the hat.
2. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, ‘Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?’
3. The man said, ‘I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.’
What he had written was: ‘Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.‘
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Great men say, ‘Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.’
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
A Story
从前，有一个脾气很坏的男孩.他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子，告诉他，每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候，就在院子的篱笆上钉一根。第一天，男孩钉了37根钉子。后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气，每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了。他发现，控制自己的脾气，实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。
终于有一天，他一根钉子都没有钉，他高兴的把这件事告诉了爸爸。爸爸说：”从今以后，如果你一天都没有发脾气，就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子.” 日子一天一天过去，最后，钉子全被拔光了。爸爸带他来到篱笆边上，对他说：”儿子，你做得很好，可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞，这些洞永远也不可能恢复了。就象你和一个人吵架，说了些难听的话，你就在他心里留下了一个伤口，像这个钉子洞一样。”插一把刀子在一个人的身体里，再拔出来，伤口就难以愈合了。所以我们要保守我们的舌头,让他说造就的话语.
圣经上说:需要禁止舌头不出恶言(彼前3:10),也说一切苦毒,恼恨,愤怒,嚷闹,毁谤,并一切的恶毒都当从你们中间除掉.并要以恩慈相待,存怜悯的心,彼此饶恕,正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样.(弗4:31,32)
