The Story of A Blind Girl

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He’s always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. “Just take care of my eyes dear.”

This is how human brain changes when the status changed.

Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life is A Gift.

Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone ho’s crying out for a companion.

Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven/hell.

Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

“We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.”

秘密

日本有个运动家叫山本田一，是位国际马拉松选手。个子不高。

1984年的东京国际马拉松比赛中，山本先生获得冠军。大家去采访他，“你为什么获得冠军”？

山本回答：我用智慧战胜对手！我有一个秘密！

记者问：你的秘密是什么？

山本回答：我不告诉你！

大家开始讥笑他：他只是偶然幸运地获得冠军而已。

2年后在意大利米兰国际马拉松比赛中，山本先生又获得冠军。大家又去采访他，"你为什么获得冠军？

山本回答：我用智慧战胜对手！我有一个秘密！

记者问：你的秘密是什么？

山本回答：我不告诉你！

后来，山本先生退休了，他写了一本书，披露了他获得成功的秘密。

书中写到：每次比赛前，他都会和他的教练开车驶过40多公里的赛道，每8个公里左右做一个碧城，如第1个八公里处有家“银行”；第2个八公里处有家“超市”

当发令抢响的时候，其他选手按照跑马拉松比赛的速度奔向40公里外的终点，而山本先生却按照中长跑的速度奔向第一个目标――“银行”；之后，同样的速度奔向第二个目标――“超市”。

这就是我的秘密！

A person can only success when he/she can SEE and CLEAR the mission and objective that he/she want to achieve.
Set Small Target and eventually it leads to BIG SUCCESS =)

In 1984 of the Tokyo International Marathon, one Japanese athlete Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When reporters asked what make him such a startling success, he said that:" Use wisdom to defeat opponent." Many people don't believe him. Marathon is the sport requires both physical strength and endurance. He said that wisdom led to his success seems reluctantly.

Two years later, in the Italian International Marathon, Yamada won the championship again. A reporter asked him:" You have won the championship again. Can you talk about your experience?" Yamada answered the reporter the same as last time:" I use wisdom to defeat opponent." Everyone was puzzled by his so-called wisdom.

Ten years later, the mystery is finally discovered. Yamada write his autobiography and he says:" Before each game, I will travel the whole route and check it carefully. I will mark some important signs alone the road, such as the first mark is a bank, the second mark is a tree, and the third mark is a red house, thus mark to the end. When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will strive for the second goal, the tree. I break the whole marathon route into many small goals and finish them one by one easily. At first I don't know this method and set my goal at the end of the 40 kilometers marathon. Usually I get exhausted in the first 10 kilometers because I am frighten by the remote distance.

以前有一位国王，他独眼缺手断脚，却很爱面子。他很想将他那副尊容画下来，留给后代子孙瞻仰。于是请来全国最好的画家。这个一流的画家将国王画得很逼真，栩栩如生，很传神。但是，国王看了之后很难过，说：“我这么一副残缺像，怎么传得下去！”于是就把这位画家给宰了。
他们又请来第二位画家。第二位因有前车之鉴，不敢据实作画，就把国王画得圆满无缺。把缺的手补上去，把断的腿补上去，国王看了之后更难过，说：“这个不是我，你在讽刺我。”又把他给宰了。
第三位画家怎么办呢？写实派的给宰了，完美派的也给宰了。想了很久，急中生智，画了一幅国王单腿跪下闭住一只眼瞄准射击的肖像画。把国王的缺点全部掩盖，结果国王大大的奖赏了他。


〔成功解读〕
光有技巧，没有智慧是不行的。就像给国王画像一样，你画得在栩栩如生，你画得再完美无缺，也不如画得恰到好处有效。
