I WISH YOU ENOUGH

From a friend, I received this today.....

A mother and daughter were in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the flight departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.' The daughter replied, 'Mum, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mum.'

They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?' 'Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'. 'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said. 'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?' She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.' Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear..
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them. TAKE TIME TO LIVE..... To all my friends and loved ones,I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

That's Life

This is meaningful to share with:

God created the donkey and said to him."You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years." The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20years"
God granted his wish.
....................................................................
God created the dog and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30years.
You will be a dog. " The dog answered:"Sir, to live 30years is too much,give me only15 years." God granted his wish
........................................................................
God created the monkey and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live 20 years." The monkey answered:
"To live 20years is too much, give me only 10years." God granted his wish.
....................................................................
Finally God created man and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you will live 20years."
Man responded: "Sir, I will be a man but to live only
20 years is very little, give me the 30 years that the donkey refused,the 15 years that the dog did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused." God granted man's wish
And since then, man lives 20 years as a man, marries and spends 30 years like a donkey,working and carrying all the burdens on his back.Then when his children are grown, he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him, so that when he is old,he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey, going from house to house and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren. --------That's Life.-----

DO WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR

" Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business.
The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining.
Try to do things before they need to be done.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.
You'll gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time
When you think ahead of any approaching action you'll always have the advantage.

You'll be the winner.
Do the next thing. "

QUOTE OF THE DAY - 7%

Received this article from my Laoshi, Jean Yeoh, I have read this long time ago but I would like to share this with all of you as it's meaningful ...

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'

The Lord led the holy man to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-hand led spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'

'It is simple,' said the Lord.
'It requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'

When Jesus died on the cross, He was thinking of you. Its estimated 93% won't share this with. If you are one of the 7% who will, share this with the Title '7%'.

I'm in the 7%
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you
