It's me.....
The so-called Nerd!!!
Finally I have started blogging...
Here is a story to share...

Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad??
READ the following story.. it may change your views about life...
After a conversation with one of my distant uncles, he told me that despite taking jobs, he brings back barely 1k per month , he is happy as he is...

I wonder how he can be as happy as he is, considering he has to skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of household.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.

He said that right infront of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes and the scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child haunted him till today.

You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty, had the child's hand been infected?? No, it was done for two simple words
.........................................~TO BEG~...........................................
The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.

Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was eating half-way. And almost instantly, a group of 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was covered with sand, robbing bits from one another. The natural reaction of hunger.

Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him to the nearest bakery. He bought about 100 loaves of bread to be distributed to the poor villagers. As he distributed the bread, he received cheers and bows from the unfortunate. For the first time in life, he began to tell himself how fortunate he is...

Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that bad?? Perhaps no..
What about YOU ???


"CONTENTMENT is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have."

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives..


(This is actually the story that I supposedly tell during a moral talk 2 weeks ago)
