Blind Heart



A Story to live by……….

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today
before you say 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 who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

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 wish they had your job.

But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still around.

May you always feel loved



May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.

May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.

May the teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.

Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours
are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.

Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent
on another's judgment of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

Women of Strength



Women have strengths that amaze ...

They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens,
yet they hold faith, happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.

They volunteer for good causes.
They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut ins.
They are senators, educators, childcare workers, executives, attorneys,
truck drivers, pilots, stay at home moms and your neighbors.

They fight for what they believe in. They stand up against injustice.
They write to the "powers that be" for things that make for a better life.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They can wipe a tear, cover a cut and pat you on the back at the same time.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They tell people that need to be told to straighten up their act.
They lend a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen
and a voice to make suggestions.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They can round up energy, even when they are tired.
They can stay up a little longer to talk to someone that needs a friend.

Women do more than give birth. They bring peace and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
They weep with joy when their children excel,
and cheer when loved ones get awards.

Women want people to grow into the best person they can be.
They want to touch you in a way that
will make you share your goodness with others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair
... true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes because
that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

Hasrat Untuk Berubah

HASRAT UNTUK BERUBAH

Ketika aku masih muda dan bebas berkhayal, aku bermimpi ingin merubah dunia, seiring dengan bertambahnya usia dan kearifanku, kudapati bahwa dunia tak kunjung berubah
Maka cita-citaku pun agak kupersempit, lalu kuputuskan hanya merubah negeriku, namun tampaknya hasrat itupun tiada hasilnya.
Ketika usiaku telah makin senja, dengan semangatku yang masih tersisa, kuputuskan untuk merubah keluargaku, orang-orang yang paling dekat denganku.
Tetapi celakanya merekapun tidak mau diubah, dan kini sementara aku berbaring disaat ajal menjelang.
Tiba-tiba kusadari :
“ Andaikan yang pertama-tama kurubah adalah diriku, maka dengan menjadikan diriku sebagai panutan, mungkin akan bisa mengubah keluargaku “.
Lalu berkat inspirasi dan dorongan mereka, bisa jadi aku mampu memperbaiki negeriku ; kemudian siapa tahu aku bahkan bisa mengubah dunia.
Puisi ini tertulis di sebuah makam

The Seven Wonders of The World

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said,
"Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help".

"The girl hesitated, then read:
"I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:

1. To See...


2. To Hear...


3. To Touch...


4. To Taste...


5. To Feel...


6. To Laugh...


7. And to Love."


The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!

A gentle reminder :
That the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Don't be too busy to pass this along.

Kepada Semua Wanita; Betapa Berharganya Dirimu



WANITA


Ketika Tuhan menciptakan wanita, DIA lembur pada hari ke-enam.
Malaikat datang dan bertanya,”Mengapa begitu lama, Tuhan?”
Tuhan menjawab:“Sudahkan engkau lihat semua detail yang saya buat untuk menciptakan mereka?"

“ 2 Tangan ini harus bisa dibersihkan, tetapi bahannya bukan dari plastik. Setidaknya terdiri dari 200 bagian yang bisa digerakkan dan berfungsi baik untuk segala jenis makanan. Mampu menjaga banyak anak saat yang bersamaan. Punya pelukan yang dapat menyembuhkan sakit hati dan keterpurukan… , dan semua dilakukannya cukup dengan dua tangan ini ”

Malaikat itu takjub.
“Hanya dengan dua tangan?....impossible!“
Dan itu model standard?!
“ Sudahlah TUHAN, cukup dulu untuk hari ini, besok kita lanjutkan lagi untuk menyempurnakannya“.

“Oh.. Tidak, SAYA akan menyelesaikan ciptaan ini, karena ini adalah ciptaan favorit SAYA”.
“O yah… Dia juga akan mampu menyembuhkan dirinya sendiri, dan bisa bekerja 18 jam sehari”.
Malaikat mendekat dan mengamati bentuk wanita-ciptaan TUHAN itu.

“Tapi ENGKAU membuatnya begitu lembut TUHAN ?”
“Yah.. SAYA membuatnya lembut. Tapi ENGKAU belum bisa bayangkan kekuatan yang SAYA berikan agar mereka dapat mengatasi banyak hal yang luar biasa.“
“Dia bisa berpikir?”, tanya malaikat.
Tuhan menjawab:

“Tidak hanya berpikir, dia mampu bernegosiasi."

Malaikat itu menyentuh dagunya....

“TUHAN, ENGKAU buat ciptaan ini kelihatan lelah & rapuh! Seolah terlalu banyak beban baginya.”
“Itu bukan lelah atau rapuh....itu air mata”, koreksi TUHAN

“Untuk apa?”, tanya malaikat

TUHAN melanjutkan:
“Air mata adalah salah satu cara dia mengekspressikan kegembiraan, kegalauan, cinta, kesepian, penderitaan dan kebanggaan.”
n
“Luar biasa, ENGKAU jenius TUHAN” kata malaikat.
“ENGKAU memikirkan segala sesuatunya, wanita- ciptaanMU ini akan sungguh menakjubkan!"

Ya mestii…!
Wanita ini akan mempunyai kekuatan mempesona laki-laki. Dia dapat mengatasi beban bahkan melebihi laki-laki.
Dia mampu menyimpan kebahagiaan dan pendapatnya sendiri.
Dia mampu tersenyum bahkan saat hatinya menjerit.

Mampu menyanyi saat menangis, menangis saat terharu, bahkan tertawa saat ketakutan.

Dia berkorban demi orang yang dicintainya.
Mampu berdiri melawan ketidakadilan.
Dia tidak menolak kalau melihat yang lebih baik.
Dia menerjunkan dirinya untuk keluarganya. Dia membawa temannya yang sakit untuk berobat.

Cintanya tanpa syarat.

Dia menangis saat melihat anaknya adalah pemenang.
Dia girang dan bersorak saat melihat kawannya tertawa .

Dia begitu bahagia mendengar kelahiran.

Hatinya begitu sedih mendengar berita sakit dan kematian.
Tetapi dia selalu punya kekuatan untuk mengatasi hidup.

Dia tahu bahwa sebuah ciuman dan pelukan dapat menyembuhkan luka.


Hanya ada satu hal yang kurang dari wanita:


Dia lupa betapa berharganya dia...


Forwarkan mail ini kepada wanita di sekeliling kita. Ingatkan mereka, karena terkadang mereka perlu diingatkan..!!!
