Give Love To the Children Inside All of Us

Children need lots of encouragement and so do adults, because the child lives inside all of us. Deep down, all of us need love, support and encouragement from the people around us, without which there is very little motivation to keep going. That is also why love always win and hate will only generate more hate.

Don't stop at being just a friend, be an encouraging one! Give love, give support to someone who is trying to make a difference, someone who is trying to improve lives, someone who is chasing dreams. Sometimes, your smallest action can be the spark to ignite something really amazing and wonderful. When that happens, the world benefits.

Be the one who heal wounds and give hope, because the world needs more of that. We are not going to live forever, but what we build today, can be the best presents we give to our children and many generations to come. You may not see the day the tree grows to bear fruits and provide shade but you will always be remembered for planting that seed many years ago.

Admire The Sunset With Your Loved Ones

No matter how beautiful the sunset is, it will be meaningless if there is no one beside you, to admire together with you.

Our loved ones are the reasons we work so hard for, but they are also the reasons why we should not overwork ourselves. It is our responsibilities to preserve our health for as long as we can, so that we can be there to take care of our loved ones and to enjoy Life's best moments with them.

The world is moving at a fast pace, work may get more demanding and challenging, stress level will go up as well. However, we must always bear in mind, what is most important to us, that is our health and our loved ones. No one is indispensable in any organisation but you are indispensable to your family. Always remember that and strive to strike a balance, there is a time to work and there is a time to rest.

Be A Good Passenger Of Life

Imagine this:

The bus is half filled with passengers.

Every passenger start to put their bags on the empty seat next to them, the bus will have no more seats left.
Now, if every passenger start to vacate their seat and move to a common standing area, so that someone more needy can take their seats, the bus will have full seating capacity.

This is the difference between being kind (full seating capacity), doing nothing (bus half filled) and being inconsiderate (no more seats left).

Every passenger has a part to play and every decision makes a difference. We are afterall passengers of Life.

See the Positives In Every Situation

Super heavy rain with thunder but I am safe in the comfort of the SBS bus, fully covered, with aircon, almost full phone batt and ample mobile data left for the month. What more can I ask for? See the positives in every situation & stay safe, my dear friends :)

Part 2: Brave the rain to search for a food stall with rave reviews but it was sold out when I got there, but I managed to find a shop selling pastry like lao po bing, which I dont see quite often outside.Thankful for all the surprises at Life's every corner :)

Be The Positive Keyboard Warrior

Thank you my dear friend, Wei Yang, for the flattering words you wrote in this post:

I am nothing more than just a "keyboard warrior", the term so infamously used to describe people who hide behind an anonymous profile on the Internet to attack, flame and abuse others while at the same time incite hate and anger.

I am determined to send a message to these people, that for all your high intellect, excellent command of the English language and ample free time, you can do so much more than just attacking people and inciting anger. Use your talents and strengths to create an positive impact on the society. Help make a difference in the most heartwarming way, not causing further misery and suffering. The society needs you, just as it needs everyone, to come together to change things for the better. Don't just talk (or type) and do nothing (no actions).

For the shy, introverts and not so outgoing friends, the world today is so much different and the cyber space is as real and you can create a positive impact even at the comfort of your home, office or school. Grab this opportunity to make a difference to the lives of others. I hope I give you a good reference point, cheers :)

Finding Cheap Happiness

If you think that to be happy means you must have lots of money because money can give you a sense of security, money can bring you to places, travel the world, luxurious hotel stays, VIP treatment and elevate your social status, then hey you are probably right! Because that is your definition of happiness, but till the day you earned tons of money, you probably wont be happy. You will also probably be stressed up by your high standards of happiness.

Happiness to me is simple and cheap, and at times free. When I am able to help someone and make that person happy, I am happy. Everyday I feel grateful for so many blessings in my life, I am happy. As I write these posts, and it cheer your day or gives you that tiny bit of positive energy or morale booster, I am happy.

It is a virtue to strive hard and work for a better future but there is a difference between needs and wants. This difference is proportional to the amount of happiness we get in life.

Giving Directions, Giving Kindness

Saw this lady in front of me, she looked lost and was asking around for direction, she approached two ladies who were unfortunately unable to help her as there were Japanese tourists. As I walked past her, she was speaking to an Auntie, whom seemed not very sure on how to guide her. So, I approached her and asked where she wanted to go and gave her the directions. She was very thankful. I went to grab a drink and saw the two Japanese ladies, who were looking lost also, so I again approached them and offered to give them directions. They were surprised but very thankful, judging from the smiles on their faces.

I know some people may think I am very kaypoh but it is okay, they are entitled to their own opinions while I do what I think is right. There are always opportunities to give kindness and if I see one, I will try to give, because I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end. If we have more people helping one another or looking out for one another, it will definitely make our community a more heartwarming place. Simple gestures which takes minimal time and effort can touch another person and brighten his/ her day. Be the one who is big-hearted enough to give love and kindness, it will change your perspective of this world and make you happier, cheers :)
