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.

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:
