A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of an airport.
As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.
She sat down in an armchair to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down next to her, opened his magazine and started reading.
When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: 'What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!"
For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: "ah... What this abusive man do now?"
Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.
Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, she took her things and stormed to the boarding place.
When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her sunglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened.
She felt so ashamed. She realised that she was wrong. She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse. The man had divided his cookies with her without feeling angered or bitter, while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him.
But now there was no chance to explain herself, nor to apologize.
There are four things that you cannot recover:
1. The stone after the throw.
2. The word after it's said.
3. The occasion after the loss.
4. The time after it's gone.
This story reminded me a Hari Raya commercial:
Selamat Hari Raya (belated) to ALL.
Let Us Make Life Work
Life sometimes can be difficult, cruel and unfair. But always stay positive. Look on the inside. Prove those negative thoughts wrong. Appreciate what you see. It's all about how you look at it. Get motivated and always remember that some things can pass with time. Don't stop yourself from feeling the joy and develop a gratitude journal.

近朱者赤,近墨者黑。
你的命运决定于你跟什么样的人在一起。
你如果想要成为第一名,就一定要跟第一名在一起。
你想要成为一个好人,就一定要跟好人在一起。
你想要成为一个快乐的人,就一定要跟快乐的人在一起。
你想要成为一个拥有健康的人,就一定要跟健康的人在一起。
你如果想要成为一个百万富翁,就一定要跟百万富翁在一起。
你如果想要成为一个成功的人,就一定要跟成功者在一起。
你如果想要成为一个颓废的人,就去跟那些整天无所事事、烟酒人生
成功是一个磁场,失败也是。
脑海与脑海之间,心灵与心灵之间,有一种伟大的"感应"力量,虽
那你要和谁在一起?

成功 Success
梦想越大,一切都不是问题!
成功者找方法,失败者找借口。
大家共勉之!
The road of success is never crowded, because giving up is easier than persisting.
If you keep your dreams big, all problems will become nothing.
Winners find a way, losers find excuses.
Let's succeed together!
