Navigating Shark Infested Waters o.O"

"Navigating Shark Infested Waters

Men to avoid:

1. Any man you've already left because the relationship didn't work the first, second or third time. Don't be a repeat offender.

2. Men that are womanizers. If he's watching her while eating lunch outdoors with you, you should see a red flag. Also known as skirt chasers and horn dogs.

3. Cave men. At the least sign of trouble, they run to their caves and let you solve the problem alone. They will not be there for you when you need them the most. So ask yourself if you need them at all.

4. Compulsive liars. I once dated a man who forgot to mention he was married. Once, at a meeting, I walked in to find his wife sitting on his lap telling the whole room how her Wolfy would never ever cheat on her.

5. Double booked wonders. These are the men with schedules so full you are lucky to see them once in a blue moon. If you find your boyfriend is canceling every other date, it's time to move on.

6. Cheapskates: I'm not saying a man has to pick you up in a limo and take you out on his yacht. I'm saying if your date is constantly eating off your plate, and making you pick up the tab for everything, you should ask yourself if you really want to be in that relationship five years from now. Do you really want to date someone who wants to park 8 blocks away because they don't want to pay the $5 valet fee? Or worse, turns around and goes home because there is no parking the first lap around the block?



Men with Character

You want a man with character, not a man who is a character.

Look for these traits:

1. Considerate. Doesn't just bring you a coke, but brings your brother one too.

2. Prompt. Doesn't leave you standing at the movie theater entrance, only to arrive 20 minutes after the show started.

3. Career minded but not career obsessed. Makes a decent living, but doesn't work so many hours you start to wonder if he moved to another country.

4. Spiritually compatible.

5. Politically compatible or politically indifferent.

6. Good with children. Even if you don't want to have children, do you really want him snarling every time a child is in the vicinity?

7. Dresses appropriately when it's important. I don't care if he has a blue Mohawk and 300 piercings when you are out on the town, but he should be willing and able to tone it down at your grandfather's funeral.

8. Not married to sports unless you are too.

9. Is positive minded and not sarcastic and cynical. Otherwise it will just drag you down over time.

10. Willing to try new things. Beware of control freaks. If you are always doing what he wants and he's rarely willing to do what you want to do, that's a big red flag. I'll never make that mistake again.

11, Slow to anger. This includes road rage. And when he is angry, he expresses it appropriately.



Hope the advice helps. It really is a jungle out there."

"RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:
1. Money cannot buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard's name.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you...when they're in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them."

"I think that he thinks that you are not important. If you're really important to him, he'll try to make time for you and not the other way around. He must have something really attractive for you to be this accomodating to him." ~ Marcus

"‎Ugly" redefined. One who is ugly in physical is never more ugly than one who is ugly in character or personality. Ugly in physical is not a choice. Ugly in a person's behavior is definitely more of a choice. One's true worth is reflected in the person's personality and behavior. Think positive, speak positive, value positive."

"A true friend is someone who accepts your past, supports your present & encourages your future."

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” - Frederick Keonig

A FATHER'S RULES FOR FINDING FULFILLMENT

Tears rolled down my leechie face as i read the following...:'(

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A FATHER'S RULES FOR FINDING FULFILLMENT

Be courteous, be punctual, always say please and thank you, and be sure to hold your knife and fork properly. Others take their cue on how to treat you from your manners.

Be kind, considerate and compassionate when others are in trouble, even if you have problems of your own. Others will admire your selflessness and will help you in due course.

Show moral courage. Do what is right, even if that makes you unpopular. I always thought it important to be able to look at myself in the shaving mirror every morning and not feel guilt or remorse. I depart this world with a pretty clear conscience.

Show humility. Stand your ground but pause to reflect on what the other side are saying, and back off when you know you are wrong. Never worry about losing face. That only happens when you are pig-headed.

Learn from your mistakes. You will make plenty so use them as a learning tool. If you keep making the same mistake or run into a problem, you’re doing something wrong.

Avoid disparaging someone to a third party; it is only you who will look bad. If you have a problem with someone, tell them face to face.

Hold fire! If someone crosses you, don’t react immediately. Once you say something it can never be taken back, and most people deserve a second chance.

Have fun. If this involves taking risks, so be it. If you get caught, hold your hands up.

Give to charity and help those who are less fortunate than yourselves: it’s easy and so rewarding.

Always look on the upside! The glass is half full, never half empty. Every adversity has a silver lining if you seek it out.

Make it your instinct always to say ‘yes’. Look for reasons to do something, not reasons to say no. Your friends will cherish you for that.

Be canny: you will get more of what you want if you can give someone more of what they desire. Compromise can be king.

Always accept a party invitation. You may not want to go, but they want you there. Show them courtesy and respect.

Never ever let a friend down. I would bury bodies for my friends, if they asked me to . . . which is why I have chosen them carefully.

Always tip for good service. It shows respect. But never reward poor service. Poor service is insulting.

Always treat those you meet as your social equal, whether they are above or below your station in life. For those above you, show due deference, but don’t be a sycophant.

Always respect age, as age equals wisdom.

Be prepared to put the interests of your sibling first.

Be proud of who you are and where you come from, but open your mind to other cultures and languages. When you begin to travel (as I hope you will), you’ll learn that your place in the world is both vital and insignificant. Don’t get too big for your breeches.

Be ambitious, but not nakedly so. Be prepared to back your assertions with craftsmanship and hard work.

Live every day to its full: do something that makes you smile or laugh, and avoid procrastination.

Give of your best at school. Some teachers forget that pupils need incentives. So if your teacher doesn’t give you one, devise your own.

Always pay the most you can afford. Never skimp on hotels, clothing, shoes, make-up or jewellery. But always look for a deal. You get what you pay for.

Never give up! My two little soldiers have no dad, but you are brave, big-hearted, fit and strong. You are also loved by an immensely kind and supportive team of family and friends. You make your own good fortune, my children, so battle on.

Never feel sorry for yourself, or at least don’t do it for long. Crying doesn’t make things better.

Look after your body and it will look after you.

Learn a language, or at least try. Never engage a person abroad in conversation without first greeting them in their own language; by all means ask if they speak English!

And finally, cherish your mother, and take very good care of her.

I love you both with all my heart.
Daddy x

A father's message from beyond the grave
Ever wondered what it is like to have Death staring straight in your eyes? Is there anything you will like to do or change before you draw your last breath? What if you have a family with young children and perhaps some precious time left? What would you do?

Here’s a sad but true story to be shared, about a loving dad and husband, who did what he could in the little time he was left for his family. From their country cottage filled with memories of Mandy Flanagan’s late husband Paul, she shared with us their story.

Paul, a teacher, who died of cancer at the age of 45 in November 2009, passionately believed his children, Thomas and Lucy, should have more than just fading photographs to remember him by. For the children were only five and one-and-half years old at the time of his passing. “There was nothing more important to Paul than being the best father he could be,” says Mandy.

“When he knew he was dying, there was no time for self-pity. He became absolutely focused on doing whatever he could to continue being a good dad to them throughout the years, even though he wouldn’t be here in person.”

Amongst his preparation included letters, filmed messages, future birthday presents and his personal chest of favorite books. “Each book is accompanied by a note to Thomas and Lucy explaining why Paul loved it, and how much he hopes they will too when they’re old enough to read it,” explains Mandy.

But perhaps all these gifts pales in comparison to a document titled “On finding fulfillment”, accidentally discovered on his laptop by Mandy. “I opened it and, with tears rolling down my cheeks, I discovered his bullet-pointed code to living a good and happy life,” says Mandy. And this list of 28 instructions was the very way Paul lived his life.

Addressing his children who were too young to understand the tragedy that was unfolding, Paul writes, ”In these last few weeks, following my terminal diagnosis, I have searched my soul and heart to find ways in which I can reach out to you as you grow up.

“I’ve been thinking about the matters in life that are important, and the values and aspirations that make people happy and successful. In my view, and you may well have your own ideas by now, the formula is pretty simple.

“The three most important virtues are: Loyalty, integrity and moral courage. If you aspire, friends will respect you, employers will retain you, and your father will be immensely proud of you. I am therefore giving you several pieces of advice. These are the principles on which I have tried to build my life and they are exactly those that I would have encouraged you to embrace, had I been able to.” “I love you very much. Never forget that.”

“He also wrote that they should never give up, and he certainly never did. He fought so bravely, so courageously, right to the end.”

Having been first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2004, where a birthmark on his chest had become malignant. The cancer was removed in November that year when their son Thomas was only a few months old. And after years of regular follow-ups, he was given the all clear in January 2008 when Mandy was expecting Lucy.

However a swelling that appears in May 2008 proved the cancer had spread to his lymph glands in his arms and neck shortly after. Even surgery and radiotherapy was not able to halt its progression. By March 2009, the cancer had spread to his brain and his condition was terminal.

“He never pitied himself,” says Mandy. “The diagnosis, and perhaps the drugs he was on, triggered a sort of mania. He suddenly had so much energy. While I lay awake upstairs worrying, Paul would work through the nights, determined to get his affairs in order.”

Having meticulously organized the family finances, arranged his own funeral, buying presents for their children, their dining room was soon filled piles of shoeboxes filled with paperwork, hand-written letters and DVD messages for his family and friends.

With Lucy christened last summer, she now has one godmother and nine godfathers. “He wanted his friends to have a permanent tie to his family, I think,” says Mandy. “And if Lucy couldn’t have her father, a fantastic team of godfathers was the very least she deserved.”

With his passing at home, some eight months after his terminal diagnosis, Mandy was certain he’ll be able to rest peacefully knowing that he had left the best legacy any father could. “When some people are told they have just a few months to live, they decide their life won’t be complete until they’ve bungee-jumped off Sydney Harbor Bridge or seen the Grand Canyon. But that wasn’t Paul. All that was important to him was right here. He lived and died by his own rules, and I know he had found his fulfillment.”

We all have a finite amount of time in this world, some less than others. And it is not the amount of time, rather how we use it which truly matters. Ever so often we get absorbed by our daily rat race and tend to take our loved ones for granted. Perhaps it is time we slow down and re-examine ourselves before it is too late."

"其實想一想，一個人有一個人的自由，二個人有二個人的幸福，愛不一定單獨給一個在乎妳的人，也可以分享給親朋好友。愛，單獨給一個在乎妳或者你在乎的人似乎有點可惜，也有點浪費。因為如果不幸分手了，即便哪個人還在乎妳，最後也只能說我們當好朋友吧。但是朋友，親人還可以鼓勵妳，安慰妳，也可以做妳的後盾。其實，想一想就會知道什麼才是最值得的啦！"

"缘份要捉住,而不计算.爱情想红酒一样,越旧越纯.如可以我会真惜爱情"

"可愛
我穿高跟鞋穿累了，你會背我走。
我鞋带鬆了，你来幫我綁。
我懒惰吃饭，你来喂我。
我想結婚，你来娶我。
我想睡觉，你来抱抱我。
我生氣，你来哄我。
我想白頭携老，你来陪我。
我要天长，你陪我到地久。
我走了，天涯海角你也會來找我。
我愛你，你也愛我。"

~*~ G.H MUMM Champagne Party at Tanjong Beach Club ~*~

Thx Mabelline from L'Officiel for the kind invitation to this G.H MUMM Champagne party at Tanjong Beach Club =) the last time tt i went anywhere near this part of Sentosa was for a company event a couple of years back...v.thankful for the Sentosa map cos we aint familiar with the place...good thing tt Brian parked his car at RWS n we took the monorail to Beach station...n it was there tt we found out tt it was simply too far to walk over to Tanjong beach...we took the tram...it was my first time taking the tram...was quite amused...lol ;p PK commented tt the entrance to Tanjong Beach party reminded him of some Survivor show...lol ;p

This was my first time at Tanjong Beach club...i quite like the ambience there =) quite amused with the door gifts for the guests which included mini clip-on party hats n feathers...we were served with a delicious spread of sushi n freeflow champagne =) there was a fashion show too...tt was when both Brian n PK whipped out their i-phones...ready to take videos...cos after seeing the bikini model at the door, they both thought it could be some bikini fashion show...but it turned out not to be...lol ;p there was a special champagne popping section at one end too...a few celebrities n socialites were also spotted at this party o.O

Brian n PK were trying to educate a casino-noob leechie abt some of the games tt they play at rws...i was amused to learn tt they actually have a live getai thingy inside the casino! o.O" the genting trip earlier in may this year was the first time tt i actually stepped inside a casino in my entire leechie life...n while in Macau last month, i was kinda embarrassed to learn tt the Venetian casino was actually directly right in front of a blur leechie when i asked for directions...lol ;p to think tt a casino-noob leechie actually went to explore the Genting n Macau casinos in the space of less than 2 months...lol ;p PK was quite candid in his descriptions of the antics of those hard-core gambling addict uncles n aunties...lol ;p he also explained some of the rules of the british version of blackjack tt he plays at rws...btw, Brian juz started his casino-ing a month ago...i was asking how did he get started...he was like...u juz pay $2k for the levy n u'll get started...lol ;p was quite surprised to learn tt one need to go into the casino with certain plan n strategy before one can make $! but i feel quite sad when he said tt it's easier to make $ from the casino rather than the stock mkt! a potential trader-turned-professional-gambler? o.O

PK was describing tt he was abit drunk the nite before n tt was how he made some $ from the casino...lol ;p n Brian was saying tt one tends to feel tt one is more powerful when drunk...juz like how ppl lurve to speed while they r drunk cos everything seems to move so slowly...o.O" anyway, both guys decided tt they needed to stay sober for their casino session later on in the nite n didnt drink too much...they seemed to b casino-regulars?

"The market is impossible to understand. It's all a gamble. Like baccarat it's often an elegant game of coin toss. Good luck!:-)" ~ J

Again Brian commented tt leechie is doing alot of stuff...i'm like here, there n everywhere...well, i'm a person who wanna be occupied...i admit tt i'm afraid of loneliness...it's a scary thought to have nothing to do...i'm not blessed like some tai-tais who have nothing to do each day except to think of ways of spending their husbands' money n devising ways of keeping their husbands' eyes off other ladies...lol ;p

Thx G.H MUMM Champagne n L'Officiel mag once again for this lovely nite out at Tanjong Beach Club =)

Check out my champagne-colored dress n the cutie mini clip-on party hat tt i wore for the nite ;p



The champagne was served with a strawberry in each glass...n i gotta comment tt the service from the service staff there was excellent...they made sure tt the champagne was chilled before serving it to u! =)

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs. [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

"‎Tono Leechie, it is better to know it now than later. Remember u have all the right to choose the type of friends you want to treasure. Those who encourage and support you during the darkest moments are the ones you should treasure. U need not be disappointed on this matter.

When you really love someone, you'd do anything for him, even if it's what you least enjoy doing, you'd still do it without complaint."

"Don't just love & be loving. Be Love itself, the essence of who you really are, the glue that holds the Universe together. That way, you are powerful beyond measure: you have the capacity to create as you wish, & what you wish is always for your highest good & the highest good of all concerned. You will never do anything again because you want to be loved in return. After all, you ARE Love itself. You are already whole & complete!" ~ Helen Lee

"London: Men may have been known for straying in relationships but the reality is women are more likely to get caught up in a love triangle, says a study.

Almost a quarter of women asked during the study were found to have been romantically involved with more than one individual at a time, while just 15 percent of the men admitted to two-timing, Daily Express reported.

Of those love triangles about 18 percent started on Facebook or Twitter.

In the survey of 2,000 people, it showed half of them believe one can be in love with more than one person at a time.

It was also learned that high earners are more likely to stray than those on lower wages.

According to Jo Hemmings, a relationship psychologist, while male love rats may be the biggest cheaters, driven by lust, opportunity and a misguided sense of entitlement, it is women, who tend to have a more complex view of relationships."

"一個人最大的缺點，不是自私，野蠻，任性，而是偏執的愛著一個不愛自己的人。因為就算眼前的這個男人，千般好，萬般好，處處是優點，他不愛你，這個缺點，你永遠改變不了，所以做女人要懂得自愛，別侮辱自己，亦都別糟蹋自己的尊嚴。"
Pride??? am i left with any pride at all??? i muz b the dumbest person in this damn world to waste time on someone who thinks tt i'm unworthy of his time!!! i wasted time trying to please a guy who doesnt even give a shit abt me n i had nvr featured in his plans at all! talking abt Plan B? doubt i can even find myself on Plan Z!!! :'(

"当你发现他把你的爱当成是廉价物品时，你就该立即＂放手＂了。千万别为了一时的不甘心而继续伤害自己。在爱情的世界里没有谁对谁错只有谁珍惜谁不珍惜。再好的男人也不值得你爱到伤痕累累，更何况好的男人不会要你爱的如此凄凉。他没看到你的美，是他的损失别再烦了。这可是我的经验之谈哦！：）为自己和真心爱你的人，加油吧！Leechie Go!! (^.^)"

"There's no longer trust in your relationship
If you are having a hard time believing anything he says after the relationship has been torn by his lies, it's hard to regain the trust overnight. If there's even a need to check up on your partner every time to see if he's lying, he's just not worthy of your time."

"Destiny decides who you will meet in your life. But it's your heart that decides who stays there forever. ♥ "

"相爱的人不会因为一句分手而结束， 更不会因为一个错误而真的做到一次不忠百次不容。 相爱的人会在感情的曲折里一起成长。只要经过一个曲折熬了过去爱就又增长了点， 又一个曲折熬了过去大家学会珍惜对方一点。 一路下去爱越来越深，只会深深的相爱着， 懂得对方的好，不会再分开。"

"因為愛

因為在乎所以對不起。
愛是需要說對不起的。

世上除了親情之外，並沒有不需要說對不起的愛。

一句「對不起」，曾經是多麼難以啟齒也好， 有一天，你知道如果你不說，你便會失去很多甜美的幸福。

當你做錯了事...當你傷害了他...當你固執得不可理喻之後... 為甚麼還要堅持不肯道歉呢？ 你不道歉，他不會知道你心裡的歉意。 你有多少歉意，就有多少愛意。

你不說出來，他又怎會知道呢？ 我願意說「對不起」，因為我在乎。

我願意說「對不起」，因為我不是小孩子了，我不能那麼無賴， 希望你把我當作小孩子，甚麼也不放在心上。 我願意說「對不起」，因為我認為你比我的面子更重要。

我願意說「對不起」，因為我認為說比不說勇敢。 我願意說「對不起」，因為我想看到你的微笑。

我願意說「對不起」，也代表我年紀大了，懂了。 其實....越是親人更需要說這句話吧^^...... 有時越在乎的人.....我們往往會越容易失去分寸 常常說~~我需要你~~我愛你....是很重要的!

你認為呢??? 讓懂你的人愛你 通常快樂的時候 想到的都是情人而悲傷的時候 想到的卻是朋友 與其說 當你悲傷的時候想到誰 那才是你所愛的人不如說 願意分擔你悲傷的人 才是愛你的人 ~

因為要分享快樂太容易了如果我把悲傷同時告訴兩個我愛的人而及時安慰我與我共度難關的人才是把我當作廝守終身的人 ~ 但是 男人的思緒往往是逆向而行的 ..

如果他不願把他的悲傷告訴那個人而那個人 才是他所愛的人因為他真的不忍看他最親的人為他憂心罷了 ~

所以女人多想告訴她所愛的人把你的悲傷和軟弱讓我知道我是多麼希望和你一起分擔啊........ 慎選一份值得堅持的感情愛 ~ 只要一點點衝動就可以可是了解 ~ 卻少些默契都不行 相愛不只是走進對方的生活更要能走入彼此的生命 ~ ~ ~ 喜歡，就是淡淡的愛，愛就是深深的喜歡 兩個人在一起不是為了相互取暖，而是因為愛!"

Interesting Quotes:

"If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?"

"When people start telling you you've changed, it's because you've stopped living life their way....."

“You've got to say, ''I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it.'' It's called perseverance.” ~ Lee Iacocca

"LOVES this: Forgiveness is for your benefit. It gives u the freedom to move forward. Telling someone u forgive them is a bonus & it is not necessary for forgiveness to be complete. Forgiveness will release u from all personal suffering & feelings of loss. Forgiveness is a mental attitude. Once convinced of its own idea, forgiveness is complete; freedom follows."

"當你真的愛一個人的時侯，你會為他做任何事，就算那件事是你最不喜歡做的事，你也會心甘情願的去做。
When you really love someone, you'd do anything for him, even if it's what you least enjoy doing, you'd still do it without complaint."

"真愛是不求回報的，你對他付出所有的愛，是因為你愛他，並不是因為期待回報。若是為了對方的回報才願意給予，我相信，這是痛苦的給予。愛必須是免費的禮物。愛的前提是要讓所愛的人快樂；愛的目的，則是讓自己在愛的感覺裡，成為更好的人。要記住，如果你把對男人的愛貼上了價格的標籤，那就不是真愛了。"

"愛情是零度的冰，友情是零度的水，也許我們是最好的冰水混合物。走到一起後，升溫，化為友情的水；降溫，結成愛情的冰。不冷不熱間，就是愛情與友情的曖昧。"

"人們多數只對有安全度的人發脾氣。因為在那個安全度之內，你潛意識知道對方不會離開你。胡鬧是一種依賴。真心愛你的人永遠不會放你走，不管遇到多大的困境。"

"在愛情字典裡最煞風景的，其實就是時間跟距離~*
不要讓時間，沖淡濃烈的愛情。
不要讓距離，鬆開緊握的雙手。"

"人生永远不会有美满，过去的已经不重要，以后的才是考研，一步一脚印，慢慢体会加强自己如何面对未来。。"

"每一個嘴裡老說著不想談戀愛的人，其實心裡都裝著一個無法擁有的人。"

"學會忘記，學會寬容人性中的惡，其實不是懦弱，這是對自己的釋放....."

"原來愛情從來沒有離開過，只是我「記得」，你「忘了」~下一站，幸福嗎？"

"愛情毛衣…..愚蠢的人喜歡將愛情批發出去，僅憑“讓我一次愛個夠”的蠻力；聰明的人懂得將愛情零售出去，懂得“專心只愛一個”的精妙，
兩個人之間的感情就像織毛衣，建立的時候一針一線，小心翼翼，拆除的時候，卻只需輕輕一拉….."

"最
最無情的不是人類，是時間；
最珍貴的不是金錢，是情感；
最有力的不是力氣，是力量；
最難過的不是吃苦，是災難；
最拿手的不是專業，是旁觀；
最可怕的不是失戀，是懦弱；
最舒適的不是酒店，是屋企；
最難聽的不是髒話，是冷語；
最寬廣的不是大海，是心胸；
最美好的不是未來，是現在。"

"The person looking back at you in the mirror is the one you have to answer to every day." ~ DR. WAYNE W. DYER

"If you listen to financial TV, or read most market columnists, you’d think that investing is some kind of sport, or a war, or a struggle for survival in a hostile wilderness. But investing isn’t about beating others at their game. It’s about controlling yourself at your own game.

The challenge for the intelligent investor is not to find the stocks that will go up the most and down the least, but rather to prevent yourself from being your own worst enemy—from buying high just because Mr. Market says “Buy!” and from selling low just because Mr. Market says “Sell!” " ~ momoeagle

"One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".

The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."

The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.

The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager.

I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done."

"There's no longer trust in your relationship
If you are having a hard time believing anything he says after the relationship has been torn by his lies, it's hard to regain the trust overnight. If there's even a need to check up on your partner every time to see if he's lying, he's just not worthy of your time."
