When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road u r trudging seems all uphill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
and u want to smile but u have to cry.
When rest is pressing u down abit,
rest if u must - but don't u quit!
Life is a queer with its twists and turns,
as everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
u might succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems-
to a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up,
when he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learnt too late when the night slipped down,
how close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tints of the clouds of doubt.
And u never can tell how close u are,
it may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when u are hardest hit,
it's when things seems worst that u mustn't quit!!!

Quotes (9)

 Objectivity is subjective to people’s understanding and judgements

 

People trying to be the person they see on TV. The person their parents told them to be. The person they thought they should be. Often forgetting the person that they really ARE.

 

We believe what we see, but we choose to see what we believe for a start.

 

Wounds will heal no matter how deep it was. A healed wound will leave a scar no matter how long time had past.

 

There is an outrage in everyone, waiting to be unleashed!

Ambition

            Have you ever had this feeling that when you are talking about your “life-long ambition”, you can’t even persuade yourself to go into it? Or that it had been years since you last talk or even think about it?

 

            Dreams, ambitions, they slowly stepped out of our way in life. As we work and slave everyday, our pace becomes insignificant to those of our dreams. They seem to be out of reach of a normal person living in our society. We blame it on the society and we know that it isn’t the cause. Well, who is able to let go of luxuries of the society and enjoy the real life they want to live in?

 

            We forget our initial dreams, our goal of our lives. Is reality too much for us that we can’t realize our dreams in it? Or is it that we dare not deviate too much from the reality that we know? Is deviation such a taboo?

 

            Have you ever felt abandoned by the society? Have you ever felt that you were going to break down? Have you felt that you are working on a job you don’t wish to work on? Have you ever felt that everyone is just trying to be the “good guy”? They try to stay honest but desires to commit crimes? They wish to do everything they want, but they fear what the other people says. Well, we all have repressions don’t we?

 

            Why don’t we quit repressing and just forget altogether. Let’s just treat it that it never happened at all. We never had such an ambition! But look around you and think about it, are all these what you want in life? You have the answer to this don’t you?

 

            It is true we all live in a society, we have to bear the criticisms of everyone in it. We can either follow the society’s pace or we can opt out of its pace and start setting our own pace. So I say, don’t get lost in the crowd. Don’t make your work a routine. Do what you love or you can love what you do.

 

            If you choose the other side of the fence and say, “Hey, look at the luxuries I own”. That’s true that you own a lot physically but do you have that spiritual connection with those things you own? If after listening to this doesn’t wake anybody up, then all I have to say is that live the life you want it to be. Be your own idol, and stop following others’ pace.

The more the more the more...

Can you coax your mind from its wandering and keep to the original oneness?

Can you let your body become supple as a newborn child’s?

Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but light?

Can love people and lead them without imposing your will?

Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course?

Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand everything?

 

Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.

 

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

 

We shape clay into a pot, it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

 

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.

 

We work with being, but non-being is what we use.

 

Colors blind the eye.

Sounds deafen the ear.

Flavors numb the taste.

Thoughts weaken the mind.

Desires wither the heart.

 

The Master observes the world but trusts his inner vision.

He allows things to come and go.

His heart is open as the sky.

 

Success is as dangerous as failure.

Hope is as hollow as fear.

 

What does it mean that success is as dangerous as failure?

Whether you go up the ladder or down it, your position is shaky.

When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.

 

What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear?

Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self.

When we don’t see the self as self, what do we have to fear?

 

See the world as your self.

Have faith in the way things are.

Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things.

More and more...

The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead.

She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them.

Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

 

The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to.

It is content with the low places that people disdain.


In dwelling, live close to the ground.

In thinking, keep to the simple.

In conflict, be fair and generous.

In governing, don’t try to control.

In work, do what you enjoy.

In family life, be completely resent.

 

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

 

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.

Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.

Care about wealth and you will be its prisoner.

 

Do your work, then step back.

The only path to serenity.

some more...

The wise don't query,
The benevolent don't worry,
The brave don't fear.

The unnamable is the eternally real.

Naming is the origin of all particular things.

 

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.

Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

 

Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source.

This source is called darkness.

 

Darkness within darkness.

The gateway to all understanding.

 

When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly.

When people see some things as good, other things become bad.

 

Being and non-being create each other.

Difficult and easy support each other.

Long and short define each other.

High and low depend on each other.

Before and after follow each other.

 

Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything.

Things arise and she lets them come, things disappear and she lets them go.

She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect.

When her work is done, she forgets it.

That is why it lasts forever.

 

If you over esteem great men, people will compete.

If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal.

 

The Master leads by emptying people’s minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve.

He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know.

Religion

             I don’t yearn to disdain other Gods or other beliefs; I just hope that everyone believes in themselves. The meaning of the word religion from the Cambridge Online Dictionary is 1) the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or any such system of belief and worship; or 2) an activity which someone is extremely enthusiastic about and does regularly. The latter explanation is a more informal one, so I will just focus my writing on the first explanation.

 

            God, usually described as the omnipotent, the perfect supernatural being who oversees the world. But how often have you seen one? Why doesn’t HE look up for humans HIMSELF and try to convert us into HIS religion HIMSELF? Why did he choose to let the people who read HIS book help him to convert us? If HE is so omnipotent, why doesn’t he do it HIMSELF?

 

            Does God ask you to belief in HIM? If HE is so perfect, would HE need to do it? Would HE need to throw dead people who don’t believe in HIM into hell? And why do those who believe in HIM go to heaven? Does a rapist deserve to go to heaven (as long as he believes in HIM)? Would a being so perfect need to recruit members? HE should be able to draw anyone into HIS religion despite of not asking anybody to.

 

            Do you belief in yourself? If so, ask yourself what do you consider to be true? Is something that you saw with your own eyes true? Could there be any factors that affected what you have seen? If you do not believe entirely what you see and needs clarification from the first person, is it then stupid to trust a third person’s account on a supernatural being? Ask yourself, who wrote the Bible? If you can’t answer this question or even if you can, ask yourself what I had said above.

 

            So why don’t we evolve from the past “religion” into a new religion? Why don’t we start treating ourselves as Gods? Why don’t we start respecting our own views rather than listening to a third person? Why must we continue believing in a supernatural being that you can’t feel nor you can’t see? LET’s start believing in the person whom we can feel and touch every moment!

Wonderful Love

Love is such a wonderful thing...
I can't believe this is love i am experiencing...
Everyday i wake up wif u in my mind...
Every night i sleep wif u in my mind...
Every moment i wish u are by my side...
Every time i hope u can share wif my everything...
Not much that i said can really describe wat i am experiencing...
But thats probably the nearest i can get to...

love and kite

love is like flying a kite,
when u pull too tight, it might snap;
when u let too loose, the kite will fly away.
never pull too tight or let too loose.
