Hmmm...its mostly like a modern and old fashion design in clothing...until you try the outfit and see for yourself whether it fits and suited your image and personality...then you will see it....WOW! Most of the younger generation right now are wearing fashion designs that are blended with the old and new...take a look at the fashions of the olden days in the 60s, 70s and 80s and 90s ...you will know what I mean.

I was like those people who had judged the books by its covers....long...long..long...long time ago...and then I learned that books are your bestfriends...especially when you are not having enough privileges to those who have. Reading is important and with that comes Knowledge which is yours and no one can take that away from you until your last breath on earth. I'm glad you find this thread like Gold within an old book. Thanks for your kind words and compliment Yiha.

Goodnight.

How many problems with you then when you started a thread...take that as a challenge..ok

You have many years to learn too my friend...

Hmmm....reading your statement there I see that you have no interest about being a mind that have more than you should...perhaps eating and sleeping only and perhaps learning is not your habit or hobby...anyway I believe time always change people..take a step forward and see how much you have improved...alright. When you have no world of inspiration and motivation...you usually have no idea what you are missing...alright.
Rondaguy wrote:
"should just lock the topic in it's first thread."
Hmmm...lets see how far this thread can go...lets see how much more thinking power we have to let it be continued like a legend....hehehe...boasting isn't bad when you have confidence and being humble too...You know we have to let the thread go on because there are people who are able to appreciate this thread than you do because you do not know how much they needed to be uplifted when they are down within them....inspiring and motivating is one way to do it...that is true...asked those people who had seen more than you do...take it from someone who had been a millionaire once upon a time.
Rondaguy wrote:

Hmmm...how grandmother feels when their grandchildren speak of them like that...hmmmm....lets say you have a good impression about your sons or daughters this year or next year...how would you impress your thoughts and ideas to them then? Its through impression of inspirations that motivates them to do better...then your sons and daughters...your grandsons and granddaughters...will know that you are a great grandmother....hehehehe...you have a way to express that makes me think of you like an old grandmother that have no life to inspire and motivate others...take a look at yourself ok and think of yourself as old...thank you.
Wish you are a book that many will think after they read your content...your mind is like that...ok.
Take care...

"This thread still quiting alive,"
Hmmm...you mean to say quite alive rather than quiting alive...I think
Allentyb wrote:
"should have die down long time ago"
Well...as you can see my dear...its still alive and going strong and stronger..Well is there any problems with you should it remain alive through time dear.
When you have no idea what life is all about...you have no life and you are not alive...like when you have no work and thinking that work is all about thinking alone and not action...that is a similitude of you when you are not alive dear.
Thanks for the comment and please do come and take a look at this thread to be alive...when you read the first time you have an idea, then when you read a second time you will have a new perspective...then when you read the third time...you have a life and then you will feel alive...When you read any scriptures or books...it is like that...there are levels of understanding to make you grow up...as a human being and life is about growing externally and internally..physically and mentally too.
Take care and be wise ok.

I find this prayer very inspiring..thought I share it with you.

I Am Learning, Lord
My life has taken many falls
And tumbles 'long the way.
The many trials have left me
In a sure state of dismay.
For with each trial, I tried alone
To tend, and soothe, and mend,
Instead of giving them to God -
And on Him just depend ...
But, I am learning, Lord.
It seems I was determined
To carry all the load.
I longed for smoother pathways.
Yet, I walked a rocky road.
Little did I understand,
God waited patiently
To pave a new beginning
With a better life for me.
But, I am learning, Lord.
It took a real disaster
To bring me to my knees;
To finally call upon the Lord
And say, "God help me, please."
He came with no delaying,
With strong arms that could hold -
The weight of all my burdens;
He gladly took the load.
And, I am learning, Lord.
What a needless cross I carried,
All because I could not see -
What a friend I have in Jesus,
And the love He has for me.
Peace I find when troubles hover,
Though' the outcome is unknown.
For if yet the road is rocky,
I won't walk it all alone.
For, I am learning, Lord. -

NAIL IN THE FENCE
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence
He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us. -
The three wishes of Alexander, the Great . . .
There is a very instructive annecdote involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king.
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realised how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu.
But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to
reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale,
helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will
depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
"My first desire is that," said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued................,
"Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury."
The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued, "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out
of my coffin."
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"
At this, Alexander took a deep breath and said: "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realise that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realise that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world."
With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . . . . . . . . . . -
KIND WORDS
Making Peace
"Fresh Cut Flowers "
The author wishes to remain anonymous
Edited by Shmuel Greenbaum

The Yarden family lived in Savyon and had a gardener named Naji who came to work from an Arab village in the Shomron. He worked for them for years, and loved their son Oron. When Naji worked in their garden, Oron would watch him all the time; Oron would speak to him, joke with him and the two became good friends...
When Oron was kidnapped on June 8, 1980, Naji did not show up to work anymore. He disappeared. No one knew where he was or what had happened to him. He just vanished.
One morning, weeks later, Oron's mother, Pnina Yarden was sitting in her home when she saw Naji approach the driveway, walking slowly towards the house, somewhat hesitatingly, afraid to make the next step. Pnina was glad to see him and called him inside.
"What happened to you Naji? We needed you here!"
"Madam Pnina, is it true what they are saying"?
"What's true?" asked Pnina.
"Is it true my friend is GONE?" asked Naji.
"Yes it is," replied Pnina. "You know it...."
"I was hoping it was not true," said Naji. All of my family in our village were praying to Allah, hoping he will come back...."
"When I saw you, Madam Pnina, on the television every night begging for help to find your child, I told my father, ‘Father, this is the good lady from Savyon that makes me coffee every time I go to her house....’".
"So Naji, why did you not come all this time?" asked Pnina
"I cannot work here any more Madam Pnina, I cannot come to you any more knowing my friend is not here. It hurts too much. I will ask my cousin to come instead, from now on."
One day when Pnina went to visit her sonÂ’s grave she saw that there were fresh cut flowers on the gravestone She came back home saying to Amos her husband, "You know darling, its strange but there were cut flowers on the grave."
Every time Pnina would visit the grave, she found fresh cut flowers on the grave, but did not know who they were from. One thing she did notice was that they were fresh cut flowers from a garden. They were not bought flowers.
One day on her visit to the cemetery, all of a sudden as she walked up the path, from a distance she saw a shadow running, hiding trying to escape the cemetery.
Pnina knew well who's shadow it was. She came closer to Naji. They both stood there silently when finally Naji said, "Madam Pnina every day when I finish working at some family's house, I take a few fresh flowers and on my way home. I visit my friend."

"Making Peace"
From: Kindness: Making a Difference in People's Lives: Formulas, stories, and insights
By Zelig Pliskin
Printed with Permission of Shaar Press
When there is peace, there is harmony. There is cooperation and people do things to benefit others. Peace eliminates the harm and damage caused by its opposite: quarrels, fighting, anger, resentment, hatred, revenge, grudge-bearing. Creating peace adds to peopleÂ’s lives and saves everyone involved from the pain and destruction of feuds and quarrels.
Being a peace-maker is an art. And it is fraught with danger, so one must be very careful how one goes about the whole process. Many years ago, there was a great leader who had a special method for making peace. When he heard that two people were quarreling, he would approach one and tell him that the other person was saying positive things about him. He would then approach the second person and tell him that the first person was saying positive things about him. The next time they met, their body language said, "I like this person." This created a positive loop and the two people would once again become friendly with each other.
We like people who like us and speak well of us. When you want to make peace between people, skillfully have each one say something positive about the other. "What has this person done for you that you have been grateful for?" "What positive qualities do you see in this person?" "If you werenÂ’t angry at this person, what positive statements do you think you could make?"
Describe how they both will benefit by getting along well with each other. Past grievances often have to be worked out. But not always. At times, two people will be willing to begin their relationship all over again. They can be shown that itÂ’s best to begin again right now. When there is a need to speak about the past, caution everyone to avoid speaking in a tone of voice and with content that will be inflammatory. They should speak to be understood, not to attack. Have each one listen quietly to the other. This can be extremely difficult. But by not counterattacking and by not being defensive, the speaker has the relief of being heard and understood, even if they donÂ’t agree.
By speaking about the situation peacefully, both parties might recognize that they misunderstood the actual positions of the other. They might not have realized the pain the other one experienced. They might have thought that the other person is purposely trying to say and do things to cause them pain. Now they will each see that the other person was just trying to do what he thought was best for himself, and didnÂ’t really want to cause harm and damage.
Whenever possible find an agreement frame. That is, find points on which they agree and have common interests. "What do you both agree on?" "If possible, you both would gain from getting along well with each other, wouldnÂ’t you?" "If you worked together instead of against each other, that would make life easier for you, wouldnÂ’t it?"
If you are serving as a mediator, be careful not to take sides. Often, each party will want you to agree that they are right and the other side is wrong. If you are an authority and a judge, this could be appropriate. But when you are serving as a mediator, be careful not to become a party to the dispute. Instead of finding a peaceful settlement, you will then expand the quarrel. The side that feels you are against them will now need to look for other people to bolster their position. The quarrel will grow instead of resolving itself peacefully.
You will be most successful when you can perceive both people in a positive light. When you can create a positive atmosphere in the room by radiating good will to everyone involved, both parties will be able to express themselves in a peaceful setting. Your presence will enable them to understand and be understood in ways that they would not have been able to do if you werenÂ’t there.
But be very careful not to make the situation worse. You might be close friends to both parties and they both want to win you over. You might say something that one can use as ammunition against the other. They might be better off finding someone with much experience in serving as a peace mediator who is an objective outsider.
If you do everything you can and tempers still flare, realize there might be deep emotional issues that have been around for many years. The resentment has added up and now it explodes. You might have to speak to each one separately to enable them to calm down before they can speak to each other. There might be hidden issues that one or both are not telling you. You think that you know the entire picture, but important pieces of data that you arenÂ’t aware of would change the way that you are looking at the situation.
Know your limits. Know when you should step out of a situation. Know when your involvement will cause havoc with your emotions and drag you into a situation with which you didnÂ’t need to be involved. At times the only way someone will know these limits is to have been involved in trying to help out in a quarrel that blew up in their face. When you know what you canÂ’t do, you will have more time and energy to be involved in what you can do.
One of my students told me the following:
I was once involved in a complex situation where a professional lawyer with many years experience was brought in as a consultant to the case. He sat back and listened carefully to get as comprehensive a picture as possible
In the middle of the presentation he was repeatedly getting asked, "What do you think so far?"
He replied, "Thus far IÂ’m still trying to get a more complete picture. I donÂ’t have any comments yet."
Only when the picture became very clear did he make his comments and state his opinion. Because of his extensive experience he knew that things are not always as they seem. Two sides in a quarrel each will have a different picture and it takes patience to get the entire picture. -

Hello Everyone,
I was busy since 9th August 2007. Short Ninja and I met on Singapore's National Day and we had a great time. The following week we spent our time in Johor Baru, eating and shopping around. He is going back on 26th August 2007.
Now, I'm in Shah Alam, writing to you in a cybercafe from Shah Alam, K.L. I'm going home to Skudai, JB on Monday morning next week. Then on Tuesday, I'm going home to Singapore to meet some friends of mine.
I hope you have enjoyed reading some of the articles that I had posted today and by the way, I am thinking of opening up a new thread or topic in Aunt Agony....but I'm still thinking about it.
You take care now and see you all soon.
With Love,
Joe -

On the way home I watched a good movie called 'PRIDE' which I think is pretty good and filled with motivation and inspiration.Too bad I missed the last 15 minutes when the flight stewardess took away my head set>

Yes,I agree it takes tedious preparation on the part of TS to give a damn here and that is why we should applaud him and not KPKB because some of us cant read anytthing more than 25 words.Originally posted by Zarks:I just dun understand why TS is doing this lol.. seems like it took a very long time to prepare all those posts.. -
Sorry man , i can do this too but im not as kind as her/him to create all this and i have my own more important business than this.. i never say its not good but the 1st few pages is good and suddenly there's something not related like sharing what he/she has been thru all day and other stuff?Originally posted by Short Ninja:Yes,I agree it takes tedious preparation on the part of TS to give a damn here and that is why we should applaud him and not KPKB because some of us cant read anytthing more than 25 words.
I mean if you wanna share its good but why dont do it in Chit Chat?
Moderator already explained it too, it was getting on the topic then suddenly its like kinda off topic ?
I kinda read some that u n him / her met somewhere, i can understand you're helping or defending for him but this is really not supposed to be in AA in my opinion
And talking bout agony after reading it yea... migraine agony.. What a bull -
I think aunt agony has no moderators and I dont think people in Chit chat would welcome such topics.The good news is.......Panadol actually works!!Originally posted by Zarks:Im getting headache seeing all these posts.
