Here Are Some Tips That May Bring You A Beautiful Life !

Take a 10-30 minutes WALK everyday and while you walk, SMILE.
Sit in SILENCE for at least 10 minutes each day.

When you wake up in the morning, complete the following statement:
"My purpose is to ... today."

Live with 3 E's... ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM, EMPATHY;
and the 3 F's... FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDS.

Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of six.
DREAM more while you are awake.
Try to make at least three people SMILE each day.

Realize that LIFE is a school and you are here to LEARN, pass all your tests.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

Life isn't fair, but it still GOOD.
Life is too short to waste time hating and blaming anyone.

Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
You don't have to win every argument. AGREE to disagreements.

Make PEACE with your pass, so it won't mess up the present.
Don't compare your life with others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Burn the candles, use the nice sheets. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is SPECIAL.
No one is in charge of your happiness except YOU.
FORGIVE everyone for everything.

What other people think of you is none of your business.
Time heals almost everything. Give time, TIME.
However good or bad a situation is, it will CHANGE.

Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will stay in touch.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
The best is yet to come.

No matter how you feel, GET UP, DRESS UP and SHOW UP.
Do the right thing! Call your family often.

Each night before you go to bed, complete the following statements:
"I am thankful for ... "
"Today I accomplished ... "

Remember that you are blessed to be stressed.
Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. Make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

人生，不完美才是完美 ~ Perfection of Life

最近发生了许许多多的事，让我从中得到启发。当中让我领悟到，人生是很玄妙的。时光流逝，没有人知道下一秒会发生什么事，是好事？惊喜？惊吓？或是意外？记得曾经有人说过，人生就像是日出日落般，有起有落，不可能是完美的。不久前，我读了一篇文章，喜欢上了这一句话：“人生，不完美才是完美。” ... ...

“人生不要太圆满，有个缺口让福气流向别人，是一件很美的事。

在一个讲究包装的社会里，我们常禁不住羡慕别人光鲜华丽的外表，而对自己的欠缺耿耿于怀。但就多年观察，发现没有一个人的生命是完整无缺的，每个人多少都欠缺了某些东西。

有人夫妻恩爱、月入数十万，却是有严重的不孕症；
有人才貌双全、能干多才，情字路上却是坎坷难行；
有人家财万贯，却是子孙不孝；
有人看似好命，却是一辈子脑袋空空。

每个人的生命，都被上苍划上了一道缺口，你不想要它，它却如影随形。
以前也许痛恨人生中的缺失，但现在却能宽心接受，因为体验到生命中的缺口，它仿佛是我们背上的一根刺，时时提醒我们谦卑，要懂得怜恤。

若没有苦难，我们会骄傲，没有沧桑，我们不会以同理心去安慰不幸的人。
请相信人生不要太圆满，有个缺口让福气流向别人是很美的一件事，你不需拥有全部的东西，若你样样俱全，那别人又怎样呢？
体验到每个生命都有欠缺，不会再与人作无谓的比较，反而更能珍惜自己所拥有的一切。

环顾上流社交场合中之达官显贵不知凡几，他们的外表实在都令人艳羡，但深究其里，每个人都有一本很难念的经，甚至苦不堪言。
所以，不要再去羡慕别人如何如何，好好数算上天给你的恩典，你会发现你所拥有的，绝对比没有的要多出许多。而缺失的那一部分，虽不可爱，却也是你生命的一部分，接受它且善待它，你的人生会快乐豁达许多。

如果你是一只蚌，你愿意受尽一生痛苦而凝结一颗珍珠，还是不要珍珠，宁愿舒舒服服的活着？
如果你是一只老鼠，你突然发现你已被关进捕鼠笼，而你前面有一块香喷喷的蛋糕，这时，你究竟是吃还是不吃呢？
早期的扑满都是陶器，一旦存满了钱，就要被人敲碎；另外的一个扑满，从没有钱投进来，一直保存到今天，他就成了贵重的古董。你愿意做哪一种扑满？”

面对以上的问题，都会觉得矛盾，因为每个人的想法都不同。要成大器，就得付出，经得起考验；还是要平平淡淡的过生活？
人生没有十全十美，人就是要历经许许多多的事物，才会从中摄取经验，不断成长。要接近完美，就得经得起考验，克服恐惧，勇于接受生命的挑战，也就是生命中的不完美。

A Bad News

The weather of today’s morning was peace and beautiful, but not a peace morning for me and my family. It was because of a bad news that shocked me and my family as well. I guess everyone was unprepared for it. It comes like a thunder flit over the sunny sky… …

We knew that He’ll go for medical checkup today, but none of us worried about it. This is not because we not care about Him, it’s all because we believe that He’ll be alright. He always keeps a healthy lifestyle, without any bad habits. He doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, always having consistence and balance meals and rest. He always sleeps at 9:30pm and awakes at 7:30am. It’s unbelievable that he got a serious disease.

Yesterday night, we had prepared a surprise for Him, celebrating Father’s Day. But today, how cruel of this Father’s Day’s gift for us. The only thing that I can do is pray for Him. Hope everything will be alright soon.

It makes me understand that, even though how healthy of a lifestyle, there is some destiny that we can't escape. Anyone could tell me, is there any ways to keep away from diseases?

- A Colorful Life, by Robert Arthur Miller, USA -

I want to be a Butterfly, 

and spread my Wings;

so I can Fly like my friends, 

the bird who sings.

I want to Soar High, 

above land below;

and land on all, 

it's flowers that Grow.

I want to be Colorful, 

and Beautiful to see;

I want to be a Butterfly, 

and roam the earth Free.

I know that what I Desire, 

might seem a little strange;

but right now I'm a Caterpillar, 

and I want to CHANGE.

My First Experience At Changi Airport, Singapore

24^th March 2011, this is the first time I’m going to Changi Airport, Singapore. It was a good experience for me. I was given a job to welcome a person that I don’t know, a professor from Japan. He was invited to join University President Forum 2011 which organized by UTM, and also as a guest for UTM Graduation Ceremony. My job is to meet him at Changi Airport and send him to Puteri Pacific Hotel for check in.

Through the process, I learned to check the flight number and terminal through internet, I learned to check the landing time and platform at the airport. I wait in front of the platform door with holding a welcoming note. I look around to find the right person. How is the professor look like? Can I communicate well with him? I started to worry as the time passed because I afraid that I might miss out the important guest invited by UTM.

Finally, I see someone walking toward me, I met the professor and start with the word “初めまして” (nice to meet you).  I feel nervous and finding a topic to communicate with him. He is a professor that expert in Science and Engineering. Suddenly I think about what I had learnt during my Korea Delegation. Then I start the topic with “Sustainability”. At this moment, I feel thankful to my seniors that always share his knowledge with us. This gave me courage to share my opinion with the professor; and the professor also share the Japan culture and technologies with me, especially incident about the earthquake and leaking of nuclear reactor that happen recently.

26^th March 2011, I take my responsibility to send the Japan professor back to Changi Airport. That day, I bring my friend, Casse along with me. When we reach Puteri Pasific Hotel, I saw professor waiting at the ground floor cafeteria. When we met him, I start introduce Casse to professor. Casse is our student representative that won at UTM Election 2010/2011. After that, we depart to Changi Airport.

Along the journey, we continue our topic about “Sustainability”. Casse even share with professor about the sustainable project that running in UTM. After that, we talk about Global Outreach Proggramme (GOP) that runs in UTM too. It included the problems that we faced when organize a GOP delegation, such as currency and accommodation. Talking about accommodation, we found out that Japan Universities seldom provide hostel to their students. Therefore, the daily expenses of students in Japan are quite high. In the conversation, we gain a lot of understanding and knowledge, especially about Japan country.

This was a great, valuable and unforgettable experience for me. Due to this, it improves my communication skill, widen my knowledge and increase my confidence as well. I hope I can have more and more chances to explore and experience more in my entire life. These experiences make my life colourful and bright. So I appreciate what I am having now, and grab the chances that I am having now.

我独一无二的家 ~ My Only Family

无时无刻，父母的爱都是无限的。

我独一无二的家中，有一对对我而言非常称职的父母。

I Remember Every Word from My Parents.
父母说过的每一句话，我都铭记于心中：

“不怕慢，只怕站”。想一想当初幼小的自己，被父母牵着手，慢慢的走在路上。父母就是这样陪我们一路走来，但不能陪我们走一辈子。这是我在小学六年级，妈妈献给我的第一句名言，教会我这一个道理。人总是要不断地在前进，原地踏步只会埋没生存的意义。就算前进的速度因人而异，但爸妈从不对我们的进度提出抱怨，而这并不代表他们对我们没有任何期望。

“不须刻意跟别人比较，最佳的竞争对手是自己” 。爸妈从不对我们的成绩有严格要求，因为他们明白每个人都有自己的强项与弱点，不同的领域就有不同的潜能。成绩考得好，爸妈自然会开心；成绩中等，他们会对我们说声加油，下次会更好。有一次，当我的成绩考得很差时，我在为自己找理由，对爸妈解释到：有的人比我考得还要糟呢。这时，爸妈劝导我不要刻意跟别人比较，自己所学习到的知识是自己的。不要因别人堕落，而自己也跟着堕落；就算成绩超好的人也一样，大家在行的领域不同，用不着拿别人来衡量自己。因此只要自己已尽全力做的最好，只要有心去改善自己，增值自己，最佳的竞争对手始终还是自己。

“All The Best”。这是我惯用的祝福语，看似普通，甚至非常多人在用。而这普通的一句话，是妈妈教我的。在妈妈教我用这句祝福语之前，我常用“Good Luck”来祝福身边的人。妈妈对这祝福语有自己一套的看法。她说她不常用“Good Luck”这个祝福语，因为她想被祝福的人不是因为靠运气而成功，靠的是自己的实力。而“All The Best”与“Try Your Best”则能祝福对方把自己的实力发挥得更好。普普通通的两句祝福语，带出的是那么有道理的一番话，这就是我的妈妈。

“当我不再管教你，就代表我已对你绝望”。这是父亲曾对我说过的一句话，仍记得当时我向他要求不要把我管教得太严。听到这句话后，我明白了父亲的管教是对我好的。所谓：养儿一百岁，长忧九十九。至此之后，我不再提出这种无理的要求，天下没有孩子会希望自己的父母不理会自己，当然我绝对不例外。

“在家靠父母，出外靠朋友，也要靠自己”。临进大学，爸妈赠了这句话给我。虽然这不是我第一次离家，但至少是第一次到离家最远的大学。所以，他们希望无论我遇到什么困难，都能吸一口气、冷静下来、让头脑清醒，再慢慢想出办法去解决。我很感激父母对我的信任，他们相信我能靠自己的力量去面对任何困难。虽说相信，但我知道他们始终会担心我。我了解他们的心情，一方面想放手让孩子独立，一方面会担心孩子受伤或遇到挫折，这就是身为父母的矛盾心情。

“容忍要有底线，不要让别人践踏自己的底线”。自小，爸妈就教导我们“忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空”。容忍与包容是不可缺的美德，任何纠纷都能因这两者而平息。上了大学之后，我看到的各式不同的人。由于集聚在大学内的都是 教育界的精英，竞争非常大，能结识真心朋友更是困难。而在大学内，我看见了这两者都不能平息的纠纷，而这纠纷就发生在自己的身上。对方不会因为我的容忍与包容而后退，反而频频逼近，得寸进尺。对此事的回应，妈妈夸奖我已经做得最好了，之后，她赠了这一句话给我。

“对待任何事情与困难，要有勇气去接受它、面对它、处理它、放下它”。这是妈妈“写”给我的，是我第一封家书的回信。家人的支持让我有勇气去面对在大学遇到的问题，就当作是一种磨练，日后在社会不畏不惧地去面对与挑战。而他们希望这句话能永远伴着我渡过每一个难关。

To be continue… 待续。。。 。。。

在写下这篇文章的同时，我发现了自己有个奇怪的习惯。一般人都会如何称呼自己的父母呢？不同的人，会有不同的称呼，有些称呼他们“爸爸，妈妈”，有的是“父亲，母亲”，英文版本则有“Daddy， Mummy”。当然，我当面称呼他们时，就与一般人一样。但在这篇文章上，我选择用“父亲”与“妈妈”。

为何我用的是“父亲”而不是“爸爸”？主要是因为我非常地尊重我的父亲，“父亲”这称呼用在这文章上正能突现出我对他的敬畏，同时也突现了他在我心目中的印象。一位严厉，不擅表达，但其实比任何人都温柔，疼爱孩子的父亲。这就是我最亲爱的父亲。

而为何我用的是“妈妈”而不是“母亲”呢？她是一位善解人意的妈妈，虽然有时还有点孩子气。我不否认，我与妈妈相处的时间比父亲的多，但并不代表我偏心于任何一位。妈妈与我，经常一起烹饪烘焙、一起打扫装饰家里、一起画画、一起逛市场，甚至诉说心事，妈妈都是我最好的对象。因此，我之所以会称她为“妈妈”，全因为这称呼比较亲切。

俗语说：“成功的男人，背后有一位体贴的女人”。

而我说：“出人头地的孩子，背后有一对成功的父母”。

你能握住时间与身边的人吗？~ Grab Your Time & Your Beloved

相隔了好久没写文章了。就在这段没写文章的期间内，很多事物都随着时间而改变。这证明了，时间不会因为任何一件发生的事情，任何原因而停留。但，我发现了一个好方法，虽不能让时间停留，但至少能让它多待在身边一会儿，哪怕是多一分一秒也好。这不是个非常好的方法，也不是所有人都能接受的方法，但至少对我与身边几位认同这说法的朋友来说是有效的。这方法就是……让生活变得更充实，就这么简单而已。犹记得一个月前，大家都还在享受着农历新年假日，我也不例外。原来我回到大学岗位才一个月而已，由于生活充实，让我觉得自己在这一个月内所经历的事物，就比如已过了两个月。

最近发生了许多事情，身边的人与事物都起了变化，令我有不少感触。有的人，之前还是一个缺乏自信与经验的人，突然在这短短的一个月内，变得成熟又自信，能够被依赖的人；有的人，学会了“放下”：一个月前执着不放手的，现在已放下了不属于自己的东西，不但不觉得“失去”了，反而终于放下心中重重的郁结；有的人，心里总是带着许许多多的疑问，找不到倾诉的对象与想要的答案，如今已解开心中的疑问，慢慢理解自己活着的意义……
而我呢？人，总是能清楚看见身边的变化，看不见自己在改变。所谓：当局者迷，旁观者清。眼睛长在自己的身上，看得见别人，看不见自己。就算有一面镜子摆在眼前，看见的仍然只有左右颠倒的自己，始终不是真实的自己。而我也相信自己也正往好的方面去改变，只是暂时看不见而已。

充实的生活，能增值自己。比起前一阵子总是待在房里睡觉、看戏、玩游戏的自己，现在这充实的生活，让我很满意。透过最近的经历，我逐渐看见了自己的优点与缺点，自己在行的领域，自己的人生目标。更难得的是，发掘了身边对自己好的人。能与一群知心朋友一起并肩作战，真的是一件非常幸福的事情。何谓真正的朋友？朋友，不是那些经常与自己玩一块儿的玩伴，而是那些以真心对待自己，能信任与被信任，能一起并肩作战，共度患难的知己。在此，我非常庆幸能遇你们这群真正交心的朋友。

谢谢你们……

珍惜……请珍惜自己的时间、机会与回忆，还有身边爱你与你爱的亲人与朋友……

Grab Your Time, Chances and Memories…

Appreciate Your Beloved Family and Friends that Care about you and Love you…
