Boy Asked For Cola After Out Of Rubble In SiChuan Earthquake

SmallCheese — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:26:42 +0000

Rescuers are really cheered to save life again, one after another, from the rubble and debris of the fatal earthquake that bring hell to SiChuan in China.

Among the sad news reported from SiChuan/China, here is one that bring little joy (Google translated)!

The first thing that a boy asked for was a cold cola drink, after the rescuers saved him out from the collapse building.

However, his reaction has brought much discussion on the China forums, i.e he likes foreign product, he is staff of cola drink manufacturer and so take chance to promote the drink, he took chance to win himself a cola endorsement contact, etc.

Well, whatever the purposes that he might have in mind, but the God has blessed him to live for his remaining of life! And I think the cola drink producers should have certainly thinking of him to endorse their soft drink!

Decode The Meaning Of Family

This is another valuable lesson discovered in my Gmail Junk – decode the meaning of “Family”! If you haven’t learnt this lesson, here you are:

The message decoded from this single word

F A M I LY = Father – And – Mother – I – Love – You!

And the story comes with the lesson of “Family” – a really touching story that I wanted to share it here:

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh! Excuse me please.”, I replied. He said, “Please excuse me too. I wasn’t watching for you.”

We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told – How we treat our loved ones, young and old?

Later that day, I nearly knocked my son down as he came close to me while I was cooking.

“Move out of the way,” I said with a frown. He walked away with sadness (that I didn’t realize). I didn’t realize how harshly I’d spoken!

While I laid awake on bed, God’s still small voice came to me and said,

“While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Now go and look on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood there quietly to keep the surprise. You never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.”

By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; “Wake up, little one, wake up,” I said.

“Are these the flowers you picked for me?”He smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I picked them because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.”

I said, “Son, I’m very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have yelled at you that way.” He said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway.”

I said, “Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.”

Some thoughts / teachings::

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Don’t take for granted the tolerance of family members; they respect and love you as you respect and love them too.

“I’m sorry” and “I love you” are just simple 3-words sentence, yet are most powerful to won a heart of most people! But, only the man with bravery could speak them loud!

A group of kids dirty their hands in modifying a live railway track into a roller coaster track. While their “greatest engineering” completes, the (Hydro) train magically speed through the rounded up track and continue the journey!

They are many young engineers. We can’t wait till they grow up. – Hydro

It’s a funny and motivated video ads!

32716 Tells You The Meaning Of No Regret

32716 is not a lotto number; it was an American Idol tag wore by William Hung (an Asian American student study in civil engineering at University of California, Berkeley).

3 years ago, William Hung took part in the third season of the television series American Idol audition with Ricky Martin’s She Bangs. Without an outstanding look and being criticized by Simon Cowell for no singing and dancing skill, William Hung confidently replied with an impressive, motivated quote (which was then aroused many youth around the world to think about “no regret” in their life)!

Simon Cowell: “Thank you…thank you. You can’t sing. You can’t dance. So, what would you like to say?”

William Hung: “Amm…, I’ve already gave my best, and I’ve no regrets all!“

Have you ever thought about what you’ve done in your life that you can really say “no regret at all?”

Ask Little Dog About The Meaning Of Love

SmallCheese — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:42:18 +0000

If you do believe that you know how to love someone better than anyone else, please take time to rethink about it.

Yes, this is again my Gmail stuff (not junk), a touching story with pictures that I would like to share with all of you who haven’t read it.

Also, may this motivated story inspire you the idea of life! (Sometimes, I doubt I know how to love, what’s about love?)

Ask little dog about the meaning of love, the news begin…

A puppy was knocked down by a careless driver and died on the middle of a busy trunk road. Another puppy (the partner) sat beside and tried to wake up the poor puppy with its leg.

The little dog tried to move the knocked down puppy away from the dangerous trunk to a safer site.

But the poor little dog failed to move the puppy away and cried to catch passerby attention for helping hand. But, no one seems heard about the pitiful crying…

No matter how, the little dog just did not go away. Passerby busy to photo it (for me to blog? I rather hope they had moved them to safer site!) while the little dog just keep howling and crying helplessly.

(My tears out of control again…May God bless the little dog!)

Dog is always a best friend of human, especially to the lonely small cheese (like me), disabled people, anti-crime force, etc!
