北京残奥2008今天圆满的落幕了。从开始的残奥到落幕的残奥，从我不认识什么是残奥到渐渐被所有残奥运动员的那不屈不挠精神给深深的感动，更让我感叹不如。虽然残奥没有奥运的精彩，紧张，激烈不过看到的是残奥运动员的坚持，耐力，勇气和自信。见到的一举手一投足都能代表着他们的心情，原来“活着真好”，“事事无难事，只把有心人”。 残奥不但让我们看到奥运德精神还看到了我在现实生活中没看到更人性和真实的一面。
或许当我们在这个花花都市太久了，我们都忘了其实我们真的很幸福，生在福中不知福。比我们不辛的大有人在，可是我们却没残疾人士的坚强和勇敢。你说可笑吗？残奥的每一位运动员让我明白了不管你否是健康，残疾，有病的。。。只要能活着就是希望，渐次就会成功。不管是跌倒了，失败了，输了，只要尽力了就好，到达了终点就行了。跌倒了就爬起来走到终点。途中虽然有欢笑，有泪，有苦不过这些都没关系，只要享受那过程最重要，告诉自己我已经做到了。也不管旁人的眼光，只要朝着这个梦想努力，即使不能达到100分也能回头看时，起码我做到了。笑一笑也不过是如此嘛。
北京残奥2008虽然已经落幕了，不过残奥的精神是值得我们每一个“四肢健全”的人都该去学习的。

How often we can really take things easy or let things go? When there's a problem that bothers you, it is not easy to let it go or even take it easy. It is often easy to say in this way " Take it easy" but the fact, it is not. Probably it is our mindset, we always hope things to be done in a perfect manner, the way we want. We become directly or indirectly forcing the way things going to be. We care too much, too preoccupied with all the gains and losses.
Imagine when you are worry and afraid of taking examination, you keep thinking about it, worry about it. All the sleepless nights, can't memorise anything. End up you did not do well in your examination. If just treat the examination like the usual worksheet that you will doing, it will be another scenario. When a couple are quarrelling, often both parties always tend to say hurtful things which they don't mean to. If both take it too hard, they might end up divorce cause both parties don't want to take a step out, let it go.
Once there was this old man who told me this story. Long time ago, there were a abbot and a junior monk who lived in the monastery. Every morning, they walked to the village for their food in the early morning. This morning was the same for their usual alms. As they walked along the downstream, they saw a lady groaning in pain. The abbot walked forward to find out what's wrong with the lady. She had sprained her leg as she was walking back after washing her clothes downstream. She asked the abbot if he could carry her back to the village. “Come on, girl,” said the abbot. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her. The junior monk did not speak again until that night when they back at the monastery. Then he no longer could restrain himself. “We monks don’t go near females,” he said. “Why did you do that?” “It is impossible to leave the lady there alone. It is dangerous. When I let her down, I had let go. ,” the abbot said. “But why are you still carrying her?”
How often we are this junior monk, who can't take things easy and letting it go. If we are holding a stone in our hand for awhile, it is light. But if we are holding it for 10 hours, it becomes heavy, a burden for us. In life, we are just like the junior monk who are always carrying a lady on our back or holding a stone in our hand. We can't take things easy and learn to let it go. Maybe in another point of view, we could be like the abbot, by letting the lady down, letting go. When all these while, we are just forgetting that we could also take it easy, let it go.
As a human, we tend to forget. We might forget a person's name, the past, a familiar place etc. Forgetting is part of our lives. In the definition of forget, it is to lose (facts, knowledge, etc.) from the mind; fail to recall; be unable to remember; to fail to do, bring, etc. as because of carelessness; overlook, omit, or neglect unintentionally don't forget to write; to overlook, omit, or neglect intentionally. In life, it is common for a person to say " I forget about something." This something could be just an excuse, an unhappy event, don't remember to do or say, or even perhaps because of aging.
It is blessing that we can forget and it is also sad to say that we have this ability of forgetting. When we know this usefulness of the ability of forgetting, we can forgive a person. As there is always a saying, "Forgive and forget." Forgive other's mistake and forget what had done. It is a beautiful ability. In the function of the brain, when a person gone through a traumatize experience, a part of his brain will lock and forget about the 'experience'. Unless it was to be awake and recalled again. In a relationship if one party can forget other's fault, they would appreciate each other better. "Forget the past and let us move on together."
When forgetting becomes a serious problem, it is no longer a blessing. It becomes a part in the tip-of-the-tongue experience, when we're at a loss, usually with mouths gaping, for the right word or phrase, "I forget, I'm sorry". As we get older, our memory becomes harder to access and retrieve, and often telling the same stories. It is often easy to hear elders recalling things from the past and sometimes repeat questions that they would want to ask. Regular rehearsal or retrieval of memory is actually helping them to delay forgetting. As a result, memories can last for a lifetime with no appreciable loss of detail. In fact people are more likely to embellish a memory the more often they recall it.
We having this ability of forgetting, it is a blessing. A blessing that pieces of information, experiences that we gone through, we can choose to remember or forget. As we aged, this ability causing hindered, confused, loss. What happen when we don't have this ability and remember every single details that we gone through in our lives? Would our lives be better or would we be suffering? A lot of times, I prefer to forget than to remember. Remember the good and forget the bad.
Sunday as usual, is our family day. My father was thinking his mother in law (which is my grandmother) to Singapore Turtle Museum. Erm.. it didn't seem an interesting place to me. As the last time I remembered being to zoological garden was way back when I was in Primary school. Ever since then, I had never stepped into any places that has animals. Well, after he suggested, none of us had any objections at all.
We went there straight after lunch. Having this thought in mind, "what's there to see about turtles?' As we went in, there were thousands of turtle collectibles, from key chains to dolls to wind charms.. Staying in Singapore for so long, I don't even know there is this Live tortoise and Turtle Museum. As we went to area, we saw tanks, tanks where turtles were kept. Okay, it didn't really attracted me until one caught my attention. I saw this longest neck turtle. I was quite fascinated. I know that there were a lot of different species but all these while I thought that they all look alike. When I never have a chance to see it, I am thinking " Turtles are just turtles. What so fascinating about them?" I was wrong. None of it actually looked the same. The first turtles are believed to have existed in the early Triassic Period of the Mesozoic era, about 200 million years ago. Probably they are our ancestors.
The common ones that we often seen and kept as pet are terrapins. Apart from that, there are species like the most dangerous one known as Alligator Snapping Turtle which looks very much like a dinosaur to me. A pig nose turtle which it's nose looks like a pig. As we were about to explore even more, it started raining. Everything had to stop. We had only seen part of the Turtle Museum. It was so disheartening...
My grandmother could not stay too long as her legs hurt when she walked too much. We had to off a day after that. It was not so much of an adventure after all. Perhaps, it would if we stayed longer. Guess I need to go there again some other days and really take my time to be with turtles. After all, it is not so bad about viewing at turtles. They are rather cute, I would say. Unique and interesting creatures

An upper respiratory infection, or cold, is an infection of the nose and throat. Learn how these infections occur and how they're spread.
What Is an Upper Respiratory Infection?
An upper respiratory infection is another way of saying that a person has a cold. A cold is a minor infection of the nose and throat.
Healthy Breathing
During normal breathing, air travels through the nose, down the trachea or windpipe, and into smaller and smaller airways. There are several mechanisms in place along the respiratory tract to prevent foreign particles and organisms from entering the nose and causing illness.
How Illness Affects the Respiratory Tract
One mechanism involves mucus, which coats the inside of the nose and traps unwanted germs that might enter the airways. Cilia are tiny hairs that also help protect the body from germs by pushing out harmful particles that become trapped in the mucous lining.
Catching a Cold
If harmful germs slip by these defense mechanisms and wind up further down in the respiratory tract, they may enter the alveoli. It is here that the white blood cells come into play as they fight the unwanted organisms. At this point the classic symptoms of a cold develop: inflammation, swelling and irritation of the mucous membranes, sneezing, and sore throat.
Spreading a Cold
Upper respiratory infections can be spread by direct contact, by exposure to airborne particles, or by touching contaminated surfaces and then by rubbing the nose or eyes.

The two types of illness which I hate most is flu and cough. Living in an Asian country, being infected with the two types of illness are common. So long as anyone who is beside you who is suffering from a flu/cough and you are not strongly immune to it, the chances of getting infected is high. This is what I always say "sharing with others."
Like in the computer games I am playing, I am now battling with this influenza. Finding means of ways trying to get rid of it and win this game. The worst part is not getting it, but is the process of dealing with it. The symptoms are intolerable. I had been browsing through the website and searching what are the symptoms of the flu.
The flu generally lasts anywhere from 2-7 days, with 4-5 days being the most common. People with the flu usually run a fever, have aches and pains throughout their bodies, feel exhausted, congestion, experience severe headaches and may have cold symptoms. These symptoms come on more rapidly than they do with a cold. People with the flu are typically unable to perform daily activities due to the illness.
I am having almost all the symptoms, feeling sick and tired. Battling with this tiny virus is not easy and it just making me not having any mood in doing anything. And the best remedy is to drink plenty of water and sleep, plus not forgetting the flu medicine and consulting a doctor if there is a need to. Cause in a war game, you need to have reinforcement in order to win the battle.
The worse thing is I had to stay at home now as the flu is highly contagious. It is important to avoid other people until I am feeling better. Knowing this responsiblity "Please keep the germs to yourself."
Sometimes, I really wonder do guys always give misleading signals? Erm.. I don't really classify misleading signals as flirting. It is different. Flirting is a basic instinct, part of human nature. This is not surprising: if we did not initiate contact and express interest in members of the opposite sex, we would not progress to reproduction, and the human species would become extinct. When saying misleading signals, means that guys tends to do the 'wrong actions' toward girls and let the other party misunderstand that he likes her. And ofen we are the ones being said we are thinking too much.
In a lot of cases, when a guy is flirting, I think it is pretty straight forward. Like the blog I had read: "Signs of flirting."
- He stares at you a lot.
- He hits you a lot. (just play hitting)
- He uses the first thing that pops into his head to start a conversation with you
- He yelled, "Hi!", to your mom that day she picked you up from school.
- He blew off his buds to go see "Run Away Bride" with you cause you couldn't get another girl to go and didn't want to go alone
- He tries to make you laugh anyway even if he gets hurt in the process
- His voice gets softer ("Hey, you") when ever you two talk
- You hung up on him. He called you back
- You where invited by him to a group outing
- He called you to talk about nothing at all
- He imitates your laugh. OK, you do snort sometimes. Which makes you laugh even harder
- He remembers little things you mention in casual conversation
- He sometimes stares straight into your eyes
- He every possible way to touch you (your hair, face, ass, thighs, etc.)
But when I mean by saying 'misleading signals', i mean guys do actions that mislead us. A very good example: Mr nice guy who always nice to every lady in his office. He always talk gently to all the ladies. Even when having lunch with his female colleague, he will picks the food for her, offers to carry her handbag. Hey, that's a wrong signal, very wrong. It will mislead the lady that he likes her but the fact is not! He is just a gentleman, Mr Nice.
It is nothing wrong when a guy is nice. In this new century, obviously that guys should learn to be a gentleman. But there is a limit to 'gentle'. Cause when guys just give any misleading actions, the girls will wonder "does he likes me?" There few actions which I really feel that it is really misleading.. Guys, please take note:
- When you going out with a group of girls, please if you want to be a gentleman. Pay attention to all the girls in the group. Don't offer to carry one girl's bag but all. At least, we will that you are a gentleman, not fancy on one.
- Talk the same tone to every girl in the office. This is very important that the way you speak, it will give wrong impression of you like her when is not.
- Never send any misleading flirting messages to the girls. When messages like: I am all alone in the night. You are just like a star in the night. No matter how lonely I am, I know you are always by my side. If you don't mean it, don't send.
- The language of touch. A light touch on a girl's face, hand, etc is a kind of misleading signal.
- Humour is an essential element of flirtation but if you misuse it, it becomes misleading. Playful teasing allows the girl to increase the 'personal' content of the exchange and misunderstand that you like her.
- Never give those affectionate eye contact.
- No misleading words like "I love you", "I miss you", "Don't let me worry about you"...
- Never ask a girl out. If there is need to, tell her the reason so that she will not misunderstand.
- Always keep a distant posture between you and the girl. This is known as 'non-verbal leakage': sometimes your unintentional feelings 'leak out' in your posture may lead to misunderstanding. Leaning forward, and an 'open' posture are actually signs of attentiveness and interest or liking.
- Never but not least, never be a Mr Nice.
Of course, the list can just goes on. I really feel that guys should take note by not giving any misleading signals cause in the end, the guy might says "I am just being nice" leaving all the misleading signals letting us wondering "Does he like me?" And the conclusion is "He is just not that into you!"

Do You Suffer From Hippopotomonstrosesqippedaliophobia?
Written by marisuewrites
And Other Phenomenon - The Phobia Room
(double click on the title to view more of her works)
If you suffer from Hippopotomonstrosesqippedaliophobia, you can at least be glad you don't suffer from Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
And, if both of those bother you, perhaps you can celebrate not worrying about Iatrophobia. Of the three, I suffer from the last. But, I'm a woman of few phobias, so one out of three "ain't" bad. I'm an optimist.
The first phobia, let's call it "hippo" for short, is the fear of long words, and if you're a frequent reader, you know I seldom use words with more than 3 syllables. I could, mind you. I'm just a lazy writer. If I have to look them up to spell them, I figure you might have to look them up to read them. That's too much trouble for both of us.
Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
I AM, Said I
The second one, let's nickname it "Hexakosio" in keeping with the lazy theme, is the fear of the number 666. If the world situation gets any worse, I'm thinking that's the next phobia for me.
The third, we'll call "latro" for the same reasons already stated, is the fear of doctors and I'm full blown infected with that one.
At least I know I'm not alone in phobias if the nightly news is any indication of measurement. I think it's safe to say that our President suffers from Ideophobia- Fear of ideas, or at least good ones; and but there's good news on the horizon with this next phobia: I don't think Congress seems to have anything remotely close to Rupophobia- Fear of dirt.
Now, don't think bad of me, because I know she couldn't help it, but I saw a lady in the grocery store the other day, and I don't mean to be unkind, but afterwards I developed Genuphobia- the Fear of knees; I'm sure she couldn't help it, but then, neither could I.
My grandmother had Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th. but it didn't bother me until the movie came out. You've got to fear the person who thinks like that.
My husband suffers from Galeophobia - Fear of cats, or it could just be hatred of cats; our dog refuses to pee in the dark, so he must suffer from Scotophobia- Fear of darkness, but maybe that's self-preservation.
Many of us probably should have had this in our youth, Sexophobia- Fear of the opposite sex; we might have been better off. I had many kids in my home who suffered from Stasibasiphobia or Stasiphobia- Fear of standing or walking, or maybe they were just downright lazy.
And, do the holidays give you Syngenesophobia- Fear of relatives? If not, you should come to my house, I'll share the joy.
Here's one for the books, and as close to fear of success as I could get, doxophobia, the fear of praise. No chance of me coming down with that one. I'm pretty comfortable with praise, bring it on! I'll risk it.
I never thought I'd come down with this one, Pedophobia- Fear of children, but after 250 foster kids, I think I'm entitled.
I don't know about you, but if my life is any example, I think without even knowing it I've had, for a number of years: Plutophobia- Fear of wealth. I didn't know it was a disease. I thought it was high prices and taxes or something.
Now, we could just end it all by realizing that we all have Polyphobia- Fear of many things, but, wait, there's more.
I plan on keeping this one in my pocket at all times: Pocrescophobia- Fear of gaining weight.
After November, we'll all come down with Politicophobia- Fear or abnormal dislike of politicians, if we haven't already. I'm working on it.
I thought this was particularly curious, but if they're coming toward you with anything weird in their hand, I could develop this one real quick: Proctophobia- Fear of rectums; it's right up there (or down, depending on your view) with Iatrophobia. Don't touch me, doc.
Most of us wouldn't have any danger of coming down with Pteronophobia - Fear of being tickled by feathers; unless you're the chicken who's about to lose theirs.
I don't know why, but last week I suffered from Graphophobia- Fear of writing, and this hub is the result of that, so now we all suffer from my graphophobia, may THAT never happen again.
My all time favorite, which we will all come down with after reading this hub, is Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.
Gee, I was feeling fine until I wrote all this; I think I'm coming down with something, could you please pass the valium?
What is blend? It is a mixture, becoming one. In real life, how are we going to apply this "Theory of Blend"? It is just like you have good EQ. You know how to mix around with any people. It can be very simple. Like in the office, if you are able to blend well with all your colleagues, everyone will find you easy to get along with. Even your boss might impresses your work and promotes you. But not everyone knows how to apply this "Theory of Blend".
Anywhere and everywhere, we tend to meet new people and even old friends. Most of the time, we are always blending within the group. I am not the type of knowing how to blend. Or rather I say I force myself to blend. In an office, school, or even friends, it is just like a community. There are a a lot of different characters of people. None are the same. Knowing this "Theory of Blend", it is able to bring more friends to you, more opportunities to you.
The mistake I had made, I forced myself to blend. When I didn't know how to stay together with a tiger, I changed myself to be one. In the end, what happened? I ended up, getting scratches and wounds all over. It was painful. Even I can change to be one, but I will never be one. Why? Cause I am just not a tiger. I thought that if I can be like a tiger, maybe things will be better. The fact is, it is not! I can lie to everyone but myself. Deep inside my heart, I know I am never one of them.
I am too used to asking questions like: How people looked at me? How I can blend in well together with everyone? When everyone is the same, why can't I? The answer is I am too concern the way people look at me. If this theory doesn't apply to me, I should be myself. There is a Chinese saying "What overcome changes is don't change." When you don't change, people will understand and accept who you are and what you are.
Mistakes make people grown up. Maybe this theory can be useful to some people. Just like coffee, if you add milk and sugar, it will changes its colour. It blends. And milk, sugar and coffee live happily ever after. What if hydrogen and oxygen can't mixed together to be water, just stay as it is. There are always ways that every single elements on earth have their own style of living besides this "Theory of Blend"
Roach phobia. Having to say that, I overcome all my fears and do a research on cockroaches. Why this topic? I went out with my secondary school friends last Friday night. This topic came up when my girlfriend saw a cockroach. And I realised that my this guy friend told us he don't really dare to kill one. Great discovery! So I wonder is it true that nowadays guys don't dare to kill one. Of course, I am not saying just find one to kill for no reason but is just when this creepy crawlers that come to your way.
I never want to understand cockroach. To me, they are my nightmare. I will scream like hell when I see one and especially those flying ones. Cockroaches have been existed for 280 million years and there are more than 4,500 described species of cockroaches. They can survive ten minutes in a vacuum, levels of radiation that would kill a human in one second, prolonged submersion in water, being at ground zero of an M60 cherry bomb - though shoe heels bearing down, as well as being inside active microwave ovens, will kill them. A cockroach can live without a head for a week, after which lack of water intake will cause it to die. Not because it's lack of head but lack of water. A cockroach can go for a month without food, though only a week, as I said, without water.
A female cockroach can gain enough sperm from a single mating to reproduce over her entire life span, up to one year. A single female cockroach that had mated just that once can have 90,000 offspring within three months. How horrifying?!!
So much of their facts and history background. Not only I had search on their facts but also I saw an interesting archive forum on "who's afraid of roches aka XIAO QIANG?" And there quite a number of guys who don't like to kill it and will scream with us. Oops, I don't mean all guys. There are exception. The interesting is there is a music band calls cockroach, a company calls cockroach, a movie character, Sylar who acquired the cockroach's abilities and a even a cartoon called "Oggy and the cockroaches". it is about a fat cat Oggy, who tried ways and means to get rid of her "sworn enemy", the cockroaches. frankly speaking, the cartoon made the cockroaches look "cute " instead of scary. Of course, that's just part of it which I find, suppose there should be even more people who use this cockroach name.
But what is the reason we don't dare to kill them. I don't really want to go into details of its dying process. Disgusting, of course. My parents are always the ones who kill them for me. How come the older generation don't really afraid that much as we do? I believe part of the reason is that we never really lived in those kampong days where flying ants, flies and other creepy crawlers as well as creatures around. I remember those days my dad even killed a python before. To them, is normal if they see a cockroach. To us, it is horrifying if we see one or we hate to see one. We are too used to living in a clean and green environment. We don't even really see rats nowadays. Well, I guess it's become normal that both sexes afraid of them. Despite it is a pest, we should learn it's formidable way of surviving, "never give up. "
I went to search on this 90/10 principle after hearing this on air. As I posted earlier on, it was written by the author Stephen Covey. Interesting. I absolutely agree that this principle can change our life.
It is very true that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. We often blame things on others when it happened and most of the words that came out from our mouth were hurting. The fact is when things happened, it is unavoidable, it is not reversible and start all over again. That is why 10% is what we can not control and other 90% is what we can do to change it by controlling our reaction.
This imply that how calm you are and how well you can cope in a crisis. When a person is calm, he/she can think clearly and reacts according to the situation and solve the problem. Whether in a relationship, friendship, working environment, you can improve your situation and change it. A lot of times, we blamed a person when incident happened. We blamed everyone except ourselves. When manager or superior scolded us, we would find reasons or excuses to say "hey, is not my fault!/you did not tell me what to do!" This is how we make things worse. If we will to able to say "I'm sorry. I overlook this problem. I will not make the mistake again." Well, we might be still hearing some angry words flying in the air but at least it will a bad impression of each party, reprimanding. Same apply to couple as well. When a couple quarrel, hurting words then to come out. In the end, it might end up a divorce.
Of course, it is easy to say than done. And most of them when we are angry, we forget the principle, we forget forgiving, we forget everything. Maybe we should be more relax, don't bother sometimes and have a 'don't worry, be happy' attitude. Anyway, it happened, so? Why punish others for the mistake make? Late for work, never mind. Broke a glass, buy a new one. When in a fight, be quiet and listen. In the end, situation will not be that worse as what we think. Anyway we have nothing to lose cause what had happened, had happened.

Discover the 90/10 Principle: It will change your life. The 90/10 principle is incredible! Very few know and apply this principle. The Result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger ruins friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life!
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; You can control how you react!
Let’s use an example. You’re eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize them for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed zone.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time.” Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good of a day you are having. Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you Reacted. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? (A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off!) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? Who Cares if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive. Remember the 90-10 principle, and do not worry about it!
You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Use your “worrying” time and energy into finding another job.
The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.
Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.
Discover the 90/10 Principle: It will change your life. The 90/10 principle is incredible! Very few know and apply this principle. The Result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger ruins friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life!
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; You can control how you react!
Let’s use an example. You’re eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize them for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed zone.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time.” Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good of a day you are having. Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you Reacted. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction.

Ever since I stopped working, my reading habit came back. I read and I write. I think it is better than bottle it up in my mind. Gratitude... When is the last time you said you are grateful to someone? My last job.. How about you? Being grateful is one of the key to success. I used to being grateful but life getting more and more stressful, I forget about it. Maybe it's time to really think about the people around us. Friends, family, colleagues, subordinates, teachers and the list just goes on. We should be grateful to everyone and even your foes. Without everyone in our life chapter, we will never be who we are now.
When too many problems in life, we tend to complain and grumble. Maybe change our mindset, be thankful to all these problems, it made us grown up and learnt from mistakes. When we are grateful to our parents, we will be filial to them; grateful our job, we do our best; grateful to our friends, we appreciate and cherish them.
A short story of Nelson Mandela. He is one of the great political leaders of our time. He began a twenty-seven year stay in prison in 1962 for his opposition to apartheid. Most of his confinement was spent during hard labor at the notorious Robben Island maximum-security prison and released in February 1990. "I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place my life in your hands." On his release from prison, 11 February 1990. He expressed no bitterness towards his tormentors. Nobody knew that , in 1994 he was elected as South Africa's first black president. 'We can neither heal nor build,' said Mandela in his opening speech to parliament, 'with the victims of past injustices forgiving and the beneficiaries merely content in gratitude.' In the Robben Island, tormentors had trained him for his discipline and tolerance, and continued fighting. If he haven't been to Robben Island, he would not what he is now. Gratitude.
Another story.. I read this book on "The richest man in town." The story about cashier at Wal-mart. His name is Marty, an affable-looking man in his seventies. To every customer that came to his line, he was genuine. He listened to everyone in the line. When every customer left, he gave a firm handshake. He loved his job. Everyone came in Wal-mart, had been touched by his simple gesture. No one was a stranger in his line, merely a friend waiting. Just a simple gratitude, he touches everyone in a small town of Tracy, Minesota. You don't have to say out loud you are grateful, it could be just a smile, a handshake or even a hug. It is not just gratitude, it is the key to success. Marty just did a simple thing and he had taught us, 'thankful to your job, relationships matter most in life, no matter who you are, try to do a little more and it is you that you happy.'
Gratitude: thankful to friends when they are there for you; when you feel love and happiness, thankful to the pain you experience,; it's your tears that made you stronger, grateful to your tears; when you success, grateful to your failure. Even when is your last breathe, thanks god for your life. Grateful to what we have, inner peace is what we gain, experience happiness is what we have and unknow surprises are waiting for us.
At my current age, I tried to recall how many jobs I had actually worked before. Waitress, customer service, hp lab researcher, part time retail sales executive, graphic designer and last but not least a project coordinator... Wow! that is quite a list. After all these years of job searching, is it what I am looking for? I am in a lost. I can't see my future in any jobs which I can think of. Pessimistic? I really don't know. I worked for money and not for passion. The thing is when I see money, I am not happy. It is so contradicting.
I asked around some of my friends "do you work for passion or money?" Some said passion and some said money. There were few that have both, passion and money. You can be practical at the same time passionate for your job. If you really know what you are looking for, you are happy with it; when comes to salary if it is attractive, it becomes a bonus. This is what my teacher friends told me. They found satisfaction, passion and happy with the amount they were getting. Finding a job is just like finding a good relationship. People always say " love or bread?" If you can have both, great. If you can't, you must choose either one.
When passion comes in, it is not so much of the amount you are getting but love and passion of the job that you desire. It is tough. Just like artist don't really earn much cause they work for passion. My friend, Shavy, worked for passion. We knew each other through stage acting camp before we went to different schools. He still followed his heart while I lost mine. I had forgotten I used to have a passion for stage performance too.
We know that Singapore has a high standard of living. When replied "money", okay... It is practical which I would not deny at all. It is the fact. In Asia country, it is important of able to support a family. Family becomes the most important reason to be practical. To be responsible, to support and have a stable, comfortable life. Lastly, it's the value of life each and everyone of us is looking at of how we value ourselves, what we want to achieve.
In the end, it is about choices. The choice of choosing whether to go for passion or money? In part of you, you might want to follow your heart. But when comes to reality, it is really not so much of follow your heart anymore. Family, diapers, loans, bills, etc... they are the one that do the talking. It is about money.
I came across this forum with the title "Quiting without a job." Hey, that is what I did. I thought I was the only one who was so impulsive and just left this company. I was wrong, totally wrong. Now not so much of struggling without a job but more on surviving with my saving. It is very true that in Singapore, or rather in this world "No money, no talk." One of this cotter (we called our members "cotter" in this cozycot forum) mentioned there were 5 major things that couldn't do without money 1) study 2) getting married 3) get sick 4) have children 5) die. It is so true.
It depends on which came first and what is your priority. Everywhere in this world is talking about money. Maybe to certain sense, there were few things that we don't talk about money like a true friendship.... relationship... family? Maybe not. It is really true that without money you won't be able to study, getting married, get sick, have any children or even when you died. The moment you step out of the house, you need to spend. Even in a relationship, we are still talking about money.
Well, the thing is how it really matter of being able to adjust the standard of living. Really, most of the time, we are reluctant to give up our usual standard of living to a simpler one. In reality, will you choose a job that is $2k while your friends are earning $4k or a job that is $4k while your friends earning $2k? A matter of fact, maybe the first choice would be a better one. It is just the mindset that is confusing us.
But something that I slowly realised is that the more you earn, the more you lost. Maybe you can earn $10k, but what you lost is your time spent with your loved ones, family and even friends. Trying to balance money and life is not easy especially when there is a commitment and spending becomes a habit. Well, after leaving a job making me feel that there are a lot more than just wanting to earn money or rather finding the meaning of living. Maybe 'No money, no talk" is just how this world works but how you can survive in it is another matter.
In a shopping list, it is easy to find a list of favourites that women loves. Diamonds, shoes, flowers, bags...And LV is one of the brands which women would never missed. Well, I am not one of them. But why LV? What I don't really understand is what is so special about this brand that women saved to just buy one Lv bag or even their imitation? I had done some research, trying to find out more about LV. Louis Vuitton was found way back in 1854. It's all started off for its quality trunks (large luggage box with hinged lid), lightweight, airtight and the ability to stack for ease with voyages. In 1888, "L. Vuitton trademark" was introduced in response to the continuing of imitation.
Vuitton family actively supported Nazi Germany (for the financial benefit of the company) during the Vichy regime (the government of France from July 1940 to August 1944). Since then, the look of the leather was utilized in everything from small purses and wallets to larger pieces of luggage. In 1978, it opened the first stores in Tokyo and Osaka. In 1983, in its presence in Asia with the opening of a store in Taipei and Seoul in 1984. Until now, the varies from luxury leather goods to fashion accessories and jewelery. It is still the same as in made by hand, the craftsmanship, the quality and of course worth for squandering.
Apart from the history background, i had found this website:
www.customerthink.com/blog/louis_vuitton_effective_experience stating that LV creates positive emotions and memories to target customers; and, at the same time, it delivers target brand values which I totally agree as well. Louis Vuitton really does an excellent job is branding, advertising and celebrity events to create their luxurious and exclusive image, and the actual experience with store outlook and interior decoration, product and prestige feeling are synchronized with customer expectations and echoed through Louis Vuitton’s brand values.
I would say women feel they were exclusive, classy and rich when they had a one with them. It just made me wonder was it just for self satisfaction to own one; a brand loyalty customer or as what Louis Vuitton’s chief executive Yves Carcelles once said: "the essence of a luxury good is its exclusivity, i.e. not everyone can afford it, only a small group of people can enjoy it, and Louis Vuitton pushes exclusivity to the extreme."
Sometimes I really wonder is it true in this modern society, people tend to become too 'don't bother' or just simply afraid that might end up getting trouble. As usual, Sunday is always a family day for me. Nothing special at all, but... something happened today and my this little brain started to have plenty of thoughts again.
After purchasing our daily groceries, I was standing outside one of this supermarket waiting for my parents. There was this guy who walked passed me. All of a sudden, I heard a loud "Thud!" behind me. I turned around and saw this guy on the floor and shivering. Blood dripping out of his mouth. I saw this symptom before. It's epilepsy. How did I know? Way back when I was in Secondary two, my father had this attack too. It was actually a nervous disorder with convulsions and often loss of consciousness.
Okay, back to the story, it was so sudden. My immediate action was to shout out "it was fit!" and called the ambulance. I could not do anything at that point of time but I guess, calling ambulance was the only best solution that I could do. And... there is one thing I just really couldn't understand for the whole of 10 minutes or so, no one is calling for ambulance?!! Were we just onlookers? Or were we just simply don't care or don't bother?
20 minutes later, he regained his conscious. One retail guy told him that ambulance was on the way. Not long after, security guard came down, called for ambulance again and tried to keep the crowd in an orderly manner. In between that 20 minutes intervals, there were still some people who were still concern and tried to help.. I did not stay till the ambulance came... I left with my family hoping that that guy is okay. Maybe at that situation, is not everyone can help. Or is it at that point of time, everyone is just waiting for someone to take that first step out?
In this real life, how often we actually fail? We fail in examinations, driving test, did not perform well in our job. Even when during when we are small, we learn to walk in the process of falling down. Are all these consider failure or a route to success? Sometimes, I wonder if there is no any failure in life what would happen? Will the person be too confident, never understand what is the meaning of failure?
The fact is alot of times we don't want to admit failure or rather say can't see failure to success. Mary couldn't really adapt to her new working environment and ended up fired by her boss. She kept complaining it was all of others' fault except her. Deep inside her, she know it was her fault all along, but she could not face the fact. I mean how many of us are just like Mary. When comes to relationship, family problems or even friendship, is it really just we do not really see where our fault lies when we fail? Or we are just too confident that lead to failure...
From the past, Thomas Alva Edison had fail a thousand of times before he really invented light bulb till this digital age, Bill Gates started off playing with the computers in his Lakeside Prep school. He and his friends wasted no time in exploring the new machine and soon started causing problems. They caused the system to crash several times and broke the security system. They even got banned for several weeks after changing into the file that recorded how much computer time they were using and altered it. From all these failures, to what he is now, is the co-founder and Chairman of Microsoft, and founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Forbes magazine has ranked him as the richest person in the world for twelve consecutive years.
Alot of success stories comes failure to success... and from success to failure and from failure, they find the route to success again. Maybe sometimes we are too blind to the outcome and forget to see in dept of what is really happening. When there is a failure, there is a reason behind it. When we find the reason, we are a step nearly to the success. So whether is success to failure or success to failure, maybe the story is how we are going to write it and not how we are being blindfold to it.
I had just read a book on Women Success Guide. It is about branding. I was wondering do we really need branding? Can we change to someone unique or someone who you really dream to become? Maybe in Singapore here, to certain people "self branding" is not that important, but to some, yes. I remembered my previous company my female colleagues are 'Wow'! They really know how to brand themselves. Intelligent, successful women. Me? I am still in the process of learning but... I wondering if it is really difficult.
What is branding? I flipped through the dictionary to find the actual meaning. It means an identity, the characteristic which means when we apply to us... It is a identity, just like our name of how your friends call us. The characteristic of how you project yourself in front to others. In some cases, I really feel that branding is very important just like when we are going for an interview. We always need to give the best image to others. We can never be like an celebrity or whoever I think of. I am just myself. But, we can change to be different or at least change to be better? not worse...
Nowadays, I really feel that branding are important. There are alot image consultants in the market, beauty salon, hair salon, etc.. Even my little cousin also know how to brand himself. By the way, he looks cute. Haha! Branding just comes in every single little things of ourselves. For example clothes that we are wearing, how we speak, how we walk, or even how we treat others. Sometimes I am wondering... How do my friends see me? What brand am I? I guess I'm blur, loyal to friends, sensitive, pessimistic.. To my bosses... not so hardworking enough.. Well, that's me, I guess.
Maybe at this point of time, my little brain is still thinking how to improve myself to be better brand... At least, my dressing can be better, look better.. learn to talk more, be more hardworking? Argh.. I guess I still have a long way to learn. It is a start I guess. Maybe to be a brand, when people starts stalking about you, the first impression is " Oh, I know her. She is a nice person." And not "Hey, she is such a nasty girl, likes to gossip around." Hopefully, I don't fall into that..
Well, I had never watched any series of Sex and The City but I had heard that many who had chased the series would definitely go for this movie. Well, it is ending of Sex and The City. The story still goes around Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker and her three dear friends Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the series ended as they continue their lives in Manhattan. Along with original characters such as Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Magda (Lynn Cohen) and Steve Brady (David Eignerberg), Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson joins the cast as Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) new assistant. I could say it is quite a good movie. This movie is not just about "sex in the city" or rather about the friendship, relationship, forgiveness, learning through mistakes.
Carrie is a dream girl which i guess most of the modern girls whom desire to be. I would definitely love to be her. Freedom, love, fashion and surrounded with her best friends. She is always so intelligent and of course, do make mistake. In this last episode, the four of them learn what is the meaning of love and how to cherish what they have. I just find it is a real story that could be happening in this realistic world. When things just happen too smooth, we would wonder or fear that all these good things will suddenly goes away in just a "pop". When things happened, we tend to look at the mistake and forget about people's good and forgive them. In real life, we tend to forget to understand others and too self center. We sometimes also love ourselves too much and forget to love others.
It maybe a simple story that tells the life of these 4 ladies in Manhattan but I really find that there are same things that are always happening around us. Sometimes we are too blind and forget to see our own mistakes and tends to fear too much. Watch this movie and you will know what I said. I am now watching backwards on the series. Hahahaha!
在星期六看了The Water Horse 设部电影。如果有听过Loch Ness Monster,这部电影就是跟水怪有关。到现在，我们不是还会在纪录片或报道中看到有人在苏格兰的迷尼斯湖水怪。我很好奇，上网找了一下。
水怪传说
有关“尼斯湖水怪”的最早记录可追溯到公元565年。当时，一位名叫圣·科伦巴的传教士描述了他所看到的尼斯湖中出现水怪的现象。此后，有关“尼斯湖水怪”的种种传说不断产生。 20世纪30年代，一名在苏格兰度假的伦敦医生首次拍摄下有关“尼斯湖水怪”的照片，此后，4000多份看见水怪的目击报告相继出现。
旅游胜地
尼斯湖位于苏格兰高原北部的大峡谷中，深约228.6米。一直以来，这个湖泊都被浓浓的神秘气氛所包围。有关“尼斯湖水怪”的传说更是让它声名远扬。现在，尼斯湖不仅是神秘地带的代名词，更成为苏格兰旅游观光业的支柱。各种可爱的旅游纪念玩具和T恤衫上都印有它的图像，“尼斯湖水怪”则成为旅游海报中不可或缺的主角。随着霍尔姆斯所拍录像带的出现，当地旅游和商业组织领导者已打算向联合国教科文组织申请，将尼斯湖列为世界文化遗产。
（取自于：http://news.163.com/07/0603/15/3G2RVAQN0001121M.html）
The Water Horse: Legend of the deep 的故事是一个发生在第二次世界大战、围绕着一个苏格兰小男孩Angus。有一天，Angus在海滩上发现了一块神秘的石头，好奇驱使下，他将石头带回家。这个模样像是一个由贝壳包裹着的蚕茧，竟然是传说中的水怪（water horse)。整个故事对我而言是相当感人的，传说，童话故事。。。Angus 跟这个water horse 取名为Crusoe。慢慢的Angus和Crusoe成了好朋友。这整部戏对我而言是很感动的，可能让我觉得最少这世界是有希望的。在这些单纯又可爱的故事里，童话是存在的。虽然我已经28岁了，不过到现在每当我看到童话故事，这些像The Water Horse 这样的故事，我是又期待又感动，给我力量走下去。这世界石油希望和美丽的。 ：）
说到新加坡的鬼片我其实很少看而第一诫可以说是一部不错的新加坡恐怖电影，会让我陷入沉思的电影。戏里面会听到郑伊健常常跟余文乐说第一诫“这世界没有鬼”；第二诫“千万不要让他们碰到你”；第三诫“其实没有想象中简单”和第四诫“它们一直在你身边”。如果要把这句话放在现实，往往我们都会告诉自己“世界没有坏人”；“千万不要让他们碰到你”- 在哪里都好，往往都不希望碰到坏人，小人惹到你；“其实没有想象中简单”- 我们做什么事，很多时候都没有想象中简单。不管是感情上的，家人、朋友和同事之间的，工作上的，或是周遭发生的什么事，都不能只看表面，往往都没有想象中简单。或者我们都往往想得太复杂了。“它们一直在你身边”- 不管是小人也好，坏人也好，他们就象鬼一样，一直都在你身边，不是吗？戏里头说的是鬼，而现实里是鬼可怕还是人可怕呢？
第一诫里，余文乐因为抓到了一个三年来只再找通缉犯开始，奇怪的是接踵而来。因为口供里说他看到鬼。。。结果被派去杂务科（也是警部说为的捉鬼部吧）。一直以来假设警方每天接到百多通电话，而其中97%都是跟打枪、谋杀等有关的案件，可是其余的，却表示家里有奇怪的事情发生。警方前去调查，因此揭开了一连串的灵异事件。郑伊健扮演的是这个部门里的头。很多时候，第一诫“这世界没有鬼”是要安抚那些打来的民众没有鬼。故事表面看起来是这样，结果往往不是。我可以说剧情相当的精彩，紧凑。结局也是出乎预料之外。说到谢宛谕其实戏份不算很多，不过表现可圈可点。本地电影导演唐永健 Kelvin Tong 原本要在新加坡拍摄的，因为故事内容，在这里拍的话会有很多局限，所以选着了香港。
总之我觉得是一部很不错的电影，跟一般新加坡鬼片不一样。Highly recommended!!!!
27 dresses.. Wow! It isn't the best movie I had ever watched but I just simply love this. Jane, the bridemaid who always planned and prepare bride's wedding from head to toe. She always dream to get married one day. I guess is what all women hope for or rather I wish for. A prefect wedding, a man that you truly love and the most beautiful wedding dress. Of course, the most important is you are the center of attention that moment, most beautiful. Gosh~~
Well, I am still not there yet. Haha.. not like her being a bridemaid for 27 times?! But for me, 1... 2... 3...3 times bridemaid and sister for 4 times. I love the moment when my friends get married, is a happy moment to share with them. Sometimes I even thinking maybe a wedding planner might suits me, make the bride beautiful and share the happiest moment. Plenty of thoughts..
One day, I believe one day I will be just like her but now... hmmm.. my life is filled with my family and friends and job.. nah, not so much of my job actually. I am not that ambitious, I just want to be happy and simple. I always believe that there is this guy somewhere out there for me. Silly and naive dream of mine but I still believe. It is really a great movie I would say at least it speaks the words from my heart.

哈哈，读考试读到很无聊。。改编了这首诗，其实也不是什么诗啦。 以前读过这首诗，觉得写的很好，很喜欢就故意去把它背下来。提醒自己如果有人起我的话就要忍。。可是好难咯！！以下就是我所说的诗：
人家气我我不气，
我络生气中他计，
要是气死没人替，
想想还是别生气。
改版的诗：
人家气我随他去，
我络生气中他计，
看他自己一个气，
我在一旁看好戏。
觉得好玩，写来娱乐娱乐一下自己。嘻嘻！！
我真的是一个很懒惰的人。每次想上blog写我的心情最后我还是没上。不过今晚我的感触到现在还是起伏不定。昨天下午。。。。就像往常以样一边作工一边听1003。。。当我听到安娜说 MC King 过世了，我很震惊！突然好好的一个人就这样走了。第一个人想到的是丽梅，MC King 的好朋友。她一定很难过。我想很多，想到人生尽是如此的无常，说走就走就连身旁的亲人都没交代好就走了。想着想着我的眼眶就湿了。 虽然我常常开玩笑说号码到了就轮到我上去做仙，不过我从来没想过有一天我身边的人会没打讯号灯就突然离开。
想着想着，如果有那么一天会不会像丽梅一样， 很恨、很痛、很伤心、很遗憾、很后悔。。。。恨自己没有多一点时间陪朋友，痛他走了、伤心他以永远离开了、遗憾没有多跟他说话、后悔如果时间能倒流，会不会少了那么多的舍不得呢？我很怕，不希望有一天我的朋友会突然的离开，突然接到一通电话他不在了。
想着想着。。。我就拿起了手机msg我的朋友，跟他们说要陪我一辈子。下来的一整天，我真的一点心清都没了，只想回家陪我的家人。MC King 虽然你不在了，不过你的欢笑我们都会记住的。谢谢你，告诉我在有生之年要珍惜眼前人， 不要有遗憾，活着就是要身旁的人开心即使走了也把美好的回忆留身旁的人。
