A couple drove down a country road for
several miles, not saying a
word. An earlier discussion had led to an
argument and neither of them
wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules,
goats, and pigs, the husband asked
sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?
“Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.”

This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn’t enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say ..
“Eat this rice, son! I’m not hungry.”
This was Mother’s First Lie.
As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten. My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on mychopstick but she immediately refused it and said, ”Eat this fish, son! I don’t really like fish.”
This was Mother’s Second Lie.
Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to bring home some used matchboxes which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, “Mother, go to sleep; it’s late: you can continue working tomorrow morning.” Mother smiled and said
“Go to sleep, son! I’m not tired”
This was Mother’s Third Lie.
When I had to sit my Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong as my Mother’s love, Seeing Mother covered with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said ..
“Drink, son! I’m not thirsty!”.
This was Mother’s Fourth Lie.
After Father’s death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent. She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family’s life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our family’s condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came to help us solve our problems big and small. Our other neighbors saw that we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying..
“I don’t need love!”
This was Mother’s Fifth Lie.
After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my old Mother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morning just to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she was steadfast and even sent the money back to me. She said, ”I have enough money!”
That was Mother’s Sixth Lie.
I continued my part-time studies for my Master’s Degree. Funded by the American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in America but Mother didn’t want to bother her son; she said to me … ”I’m not used to high living!”
That was Mother’s Seventh Lie.
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized. Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who was bedridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbroken because she was so thin and feeble but Mother said, ”Don’t cry, son! I’m not in pain!”
That was Mother’s Eighth Lie.
Telling me this, her eighth lie, she died …
YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!
M - O - T - H - E - R
“M” is for the Million things she gave me
“O” means Only that she’s growing old
“T” is for the Tears she shed to save me
“H” is for her Heart of gold
“E” is for her Eyes with love-light shining in them
“R” means Right, and right she’ll always be, Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER” a word that means the world to me.
For those of you who are lucky to be still blessed with your Mom’s presence on Earth, this story is beautiful. For those who aren’t so blessed, this is even more beautiful.

Drinking Tea is healthy, it can protect and prevent the harmful Ultraviolet light from harming us (when using computer). Furthermore, it can also relief us when we are tired and help make our body feel fresh again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOYA BEAN All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body... but many of us don't know that there are certain days we should avoid drinking it. Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days when the sun is strong. The soya milk will give lots of nutrients to the body as the body is able to absorb the protein well. However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining. Taking the drink in those weather, the body will not be able to take in the protein and will result in a disease called 'GOUT' or 'high acidic urine' due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run. This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medication. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain. Food like soya beans, anchovies, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, & esp animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking. So my friend, keep an alert on the pros and cons of soya bean milk and when it is to be taken and to be avoided.

某天，小張要去相親，因為沒有看過對方，擔心她長得太醜，於是交代朋友，十分鐘後 call 他的手機，這樣他就可以藉機遁逃。
沒想到，美女的手機這時候響了起來，美女聽了兩秒後，對小張說： 『對不起，朋友有急事找我，我要先走了……』

有一個老光棍，他並沒有什麼嗜好， 只是喜歡在睡覺前喝一點葡萄酒自娛。
然而，他發現這幾天有人偷了他的酒。 他便懷疑偷酒的是他的佣人，於是就把酒倒出來， 再裝入他的小便。但裝小便的酒，仍然每天減少。
他很不高興的把佣人叫來，責備一番。 『不，我並沒有偷喝！』 佣人說： 『我是想做味道更香更可口的菜給您吃， 所以我每天燒菜時，都加了一點在裡面。 』

從這三則短文中各位有沒有發現什麼共通之處呢？
沒錯，你怎麼對別人，別人就怎麼對你；
你給別人什麼，別人就回報你什麼。
說得更白一點就是，你給別人的，其實是給自己的。
就像我在前面說過的，不管你丟出去什麼， 或是…想了、說了、做了什麼，最後都會回到你身上，不是嗎？
你給別人的，其實是給自己…
自食惡果的事說都說不完，讓我們再聽下面的故事：
在一家簡陋的酒館裡，正在喝大杯啤酒的 李 先生，突然覺得內急， 他匆匆忙忙站了起來，又想到上廁所時，酒可能被別人偷喝， 猶豫一會後，他找到一張紙，寫上： ≪我吐口水在這裡！≫ ， 把它放在杯子下面，然後才放心的去上廁所。
過了幾分鐘後， 李 先生回來時，他看到另一張紙寫道： ≪我也吐了一口在這裡！≫。
哈！哈！哈！

我聽說從前有個人，他很不喜歡喝咖啡， 但是他太太並不知道，他從來沒告訴過她。
她非常喜歡喝咖啡，所以，每天早上都會順便為他…
準備一個熱水瓶的咖啡，跟他的便當擺在一起。
他一直都帶著那個便當和熱水瓶去工作，但是因為他很節儉， 所以每天晚上都會把那個熱水瓶帶回家，裡面的咖啡完全沒有被動到。
他知道太太很喜歡喝咖啡，為了要省錢，所以當她沒看到的時候， 他會將沒有喝的咖啡倒回咖啡壺裡。
晚上的時候他會用喝咖啡使他睡不著的理由把它推掉。
就這樣他每天都重複這麼做。
有一天，她的太太認識了另一個男人， 他們計劃好要毒害他，以獲取巨額的保險金，
於是她每天早上都放少量的砒霜在他的熱水瓶裡， 日復一日，直到最後她毒死了她自己。
你給別人的，其實是給自己的。
你說是不是呢？
你所給予的，都會回到你身上…
如果，你對人冷淡，別人也會回以冷漠； 如果，你經常批評別人，你也會接收到許多的批評； 如果，你總是擺一張臭臉，沒錯，別人也不會給你好臉色。
所有你所給予的，都會回到你身上。
套句詩人奧登（ W.H.Auden ）的話：
『人受惡意之作弄，必作惡以回報。』
如果你陷害別人，哪天你也會遭人陷害。
同樣的道理……
當你帶給別人歡樂，你就會得到歡樂； 帶給別人祝福，你就會得到別人的祝福；
如果你經常讚美別人，不久你也會聽到有人在讚美你， ≪你給別人的，其實是給自己的！≫。
你讓他人經歷什麼，有一天你也將自己經歷； 你怎麼對待你的父母，將來你的孩子也會怎麼對待你。
老人的耳力已經不行了，眼睛也看不見， 顫抖的雙手經常把飯菜洒得滿地，碗也常打破， 兒子夫婦倆感到非常厭煩，給老爸爸一付木製碗筷， 把他趕到廚房幽暗的角落，不准和大家一起用餐。
有一天，兒子看到自己的兒子用刀片消木頭， 他好奇的問孩子要做什麼。
結果孩子回答： 『我在替你準備將來要用的木碗、木筷。』
從此以後，年老的父親又回到餐桌上吃飯，家人也都非常孝順他。

地球是圓的，整個世界都在繞著圈子， 不論你傷害誰，就長遠來看，你都是傷害到你自己， 或許你現在並沒有覺知，但它一定會繞回來。
所以，如果你佔了別人什麼便宜， 先別得意，很快你就會為此付出代價； 反過來，若是別人對你做了什麼，你也無需氣憤， 不必去報復，任何他們所做的，他們都將自食惡果。
≪凡你對別人所做的，就是對自己所做的。≫
這是歷來最偉大的教誨。
不管你對別人做了什麼， 那個真正接收的人，並不是別人，而是你自己； 同理，當你給予他人，當你為別人付出， 那個真正獲利的也不是別人，而是你自己。
有一個農夫的玉米品種，每年都榮獲最佳產品獎， 而他也總是將自己的冠軍種籽，毫不吝惜地分贈給其他農友。
有人問他為什麼這麼大方？
他說： 『我對別人好，其實是為自己好。 風吹著花粉四處飛散，如果鄰家播種的是次等的種籽， 在傳粉的過程中，自然會影響我的玉米品質。 因此，我很樂意其他農友都播種同一優良品種。』
他的話看似簡單卻深富哲理，凡你對別人所做的，就是對自己所做的。
所以，凡事你希望自己得到的，你必須先讓別人得到。
保證有效的秘方 就像那個農夫一樣， 如果你想要得到冠軍的品種，就要給別人冠軍的種籽。
你若想被愛，就要先去愛人； 你期望被人關心，就要先去關心別人； 你想要別人對你好，就要先對別人好。
這是一個保證有效的秘方，可以適用在任何情況。
如果你希望交到真心的朋友，你就必須先對朋友真心， 然後你會發現朋友也開始對你真心；如果你希望快樂， 那就去帶給別人快樂，不久你就會發現自己愈來愈快樂。
明白了嗎？
我們所能為自己做的最好的事情，就是去為他人多做點好事。
≪己所欲，施於人。≫
凡你想給予自己的經驗，就給予別人；
想別人怎麼對你，就怎麼對待別人。
感恩過去 … 把握當下 … 創造未

《距離》
世界上最遙遠的距離，
不是生與死，
而是我就站在你面前，
你卻不知道我愛你。
世界上最遙遠的距離，
不是我就站在你面前，
你卻不知道我愛你，
而是明明知道彼此相愛，
卻不能在一起。
世界上最遙遠的距離，
不是明明知道彼此相愛，
卻不能在一起，
而是明明無法抵擋這股想念，
卻還得故意裝作絲毫沒有把你放在心裡。
