What is Love & Marriage

One of the best explanations of Love & Marriage.......



One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How can I find it?"

His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk

forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the

most magnificent stalk, then you have found love." Plato walked

forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands, having picked

nothing.



His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk?" Plato answered,

"Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did

find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any

better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the

stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not

pick any in the end.



His teacher then said, "And that is love."



On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is marriage? How can I

find it?" His teacher answered, "There is a thriving forest in front.

Walk forward without turning back, and chop down only one tree. If you

find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage".



Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with a tree. The

tree was not thriving, and it was not tall either. It was only an

ordinary tree. His teacher asked "Why did you chop down such an

ordinary tree?" Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience. I

had walked through the field, but returned with empty hands. This

time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it

down and brought it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity."



His teacher then said, "And that is marriage. You see son, Love is the

most beautiful thing to happen to a person, it's an opportunity but

you don't realise its worth when you have it but only when it's gone

like the field of stalks. Marriage like the tree you chopped, it's a

compromise."

A Small Touching Story

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what is it?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?'
the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make RM 100 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow RM 50?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such this
childish behavior.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to
think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.


'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the
man.

'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the
Rs.50 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He
yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father
grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have RM 100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

Please come home early tomorrow I would like to have dinner with you'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We
should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some
time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that RM 100 worth of your time with someone you
love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the
rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than to our family.

MAYONNAISE JAR AND 2 CUPS OF COFFEE

When things in your life seem almost too much to
Handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had
Some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very
Large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill
It with golf balls. He then asked the students if the
Jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and
Poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the
Golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
Jar was full they agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of San! D and p oured
It into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up
Everything else. He asked once more if the jar was
Full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from
Under the table and poured the entire contents into
The jar, effectively filling the empty space between
The sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that this jar represents
Your life. The golf balls are the important things-
God, family, children, health,
Friends, and your favorite passions--things that if
Everything else was lost and only they remained your
Life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your
Job, your house, and your car.

The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued,
"there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The! Same G oes for life. If you spend all your time
And energy on the small stuff, you will never have
Room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your
Happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get
Medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean
The house and fix the disposal."

Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that
Really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just
Sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what
The coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just
Goes to show you that no matter how full your life may
Seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of
Coffee with a friend."

Please share this with someone you care about.

It was beautiful. But that's how nature evolve and it still another piece of nature art work. Just different look and different view. Read the news below and that's the headline pic.

What's wrong with today?

Since the bad thing happened to me...everything like just bad and not smooth at all. I can't concentrate...especially while driving...I felt myself more careless while driving. Some other tiny hiccups happened to me also. How I wish can just not to do anything. For my safety or mind rest...

But life goes on. I can't just stopped. Keep moving and driving thru it. Although might crashed but that's destine I cant control it.

Wanted to get someone help cover class tonight but been calling almost every bodyjam instructor but none of them are free tonight!!! what's wrong? why why why?? When I need help no one able to help. I just want to have a rest day free my mind and have good times with friends. I'm tired of all these. Tiredness make ppl more fragile. Lead to think more... I don't want.

How can I get thru this? Why there is no one able to help me tonight??? sigh...

失恋

我也不知这“失恋”能够形容我现在的处境。为什么？简单。。从没得何来失？对， 从没真正恋过，但肯定的是我对这段感情是认真，有美好的期待。但梦想破灭。我的心情好如失恋的悲伤。 非常伤心与可惜。好想念他的一切一切。:((

Feeling

When I fell...I feel hurt...the fell is deeper I will hurt more. That's my feeling now. I hate it. I don't believe it anymore. I hate this kind of feeling. It can make you fall apart. It makes your fell deeper and deeper and make yourself hurt over entire body. Most deepest hurt is the heart that always keeping hope. Now the hope has slashed. It's broken. gone with pieces....

How I become LM instructor

It all started from Nike Tribe Challenge in October 2005. That time I am still FF member and like to join BodyJam class. Then knew a bunch of bjam addicts and there is this challenge. So we form a group of 5 including an instructor....where I started to know Azie for the first time. She is our instructor and we 4 members...me, Shah, Raymond & Cecilia...wonder where is this Cecilia goes? We spent time together for practicing. We've done our best from in to out and we won the first place. After that got approached ask for joining BodyJam training coming soon in Dec 2005. Since a group of us interested to join so we all together-gether joined the training without any thoughts.

I do not know my decision was right but I enjoyed the milestones and experiences throughout all these years became who I am now. Firstly, very happy got to know more friends in the gym. When I was member I don't make friends. But when took up the training I have more friends nevertheless instructors or members.

Think about the path I've gone thru...it was really hard and difficult. There were time ups and downs and thought of give up. Thanks for friends supporting all these while and made me gone thru hard time. Lots of sweats, lots of hard works, lots of time to make it success. Especially thank to Jason given chances and guidance since day 1 until cleared me in May 2007. Without the chances, without the courage, it will be no me today!

It has been 2 years since I've been teaching BodyJam. Still remember first day of replacing class until got own class and everything everything that makes me get stronger. I've learn not to give up. Learn to put efforts. Learn to accepts comments. Learn to improve and be better.

Time flies, 2 years into teaching...not too long and not short. Every minute is always a learning path. I'm glad in the big family in this industry to had so much fun and enjoyment all these while. Without this I can't imagine how plain my life is.

For BodyStep, trained in mid 2007 (can't really remember :p) and got cleared in early 2008. Still very new in this program. Still learning. And thanks to Barney for all the advices and guidance. Glad I have these 2 peeps - Jason & Barney in TF all these while giving opportunities and lead us to be better. But too bad 2 of them left TF for better ones. Nvm...we still be in touch no matter what!

I'm still new in this industry and long way to be a better one. Of course cannot compare those teaching more than 5 or even 10 years! They are my role model, hope one day can be like them. Will not give up and keep going is what drives me thru the difficult times.

Lastly, wanna thank to Emelda gave chance to start teaching in TF. In fact I started teach with Cardio Wave since August 2006. one of the pioneer and only female in this program. But then too bad stopped for it quite some time since last year. It helps me gain my confidence and instructing skill.

That's how I become LM instructor lah. No matter good of bad things happened...is something good to remember, to experience. Glad and happy who I am now and especially all my friends that I know!
*hugs*

Love you all!

Difference between Men & Women Contributions

Read the story below:

那晚，我認識的一對年輕夫妻中的太太哭著來電：「你快來！我恨他！我要和他離婚！」快速趕到他們家,這會兒還正吵的兇呢！

男說：「她很無聊，我上班好累，她說晚上要去散步，我說改天，她就又哭又鬧，真是討厭！」

女說：「你才討厭，我在家作牛作馬為這個家打掃，為你做飯為你生孩子，為你們臭男人當發洩獸慾的工具，怎麼，只要求散個步你就會累死啦！？」

男說：「喂！生小孩是兩人的事又不是我一人的事，妳累難道我不累？我發洩難道妳沒享受？」

女說：「哼！早知道生了小孩你不管我，我根本就不生，我們女人為何辛苦生下孩子，就一定要負責孩子的一切，又不能出去工作。」

男說：「喂！生孩子又不是妳一人能辦到，沒有我妳生個屁。」

女說：「哼！你們男人有何貢獻？享受女人肉體的是你，發洩的也是你，你貢獻什麼」

男說：「哼！沒有我的貢獻精子妳生什麼！？」

再來下面的話讓人難忘！！

女說：「哈哈！貢獻精子你，享受完了，你射精了，你貢獻了，好..那看看我們女人的貢獻：我懷孕要忍耐嘔吐」
我要小心飲食；我連生病都不敢吃藥；我要為肚裏孩子注意一切；我懷孕不便於行；
我不再能遠行郊遊；我坐車都不方便；我要穿上大肚裝；我不能放心行房；
我要擔心肚裏孩子是否健康；我要定時去醫院產檢；我懷孕要破壞身材；
我要煩惱妊娠紋的出現；生產後要努力恢復身材使丈夫不嫌棄；我要忍受陣痛
我要痛苦生產；我也許須要剖腹生產；我也許會有產後憂鬱症；我要帶初生嬰兒；
我因餵奶而胸部下垂；我要照顧小孩生活起居；我要比小孩晚睡而比小孩早起；
我要半夜起床餵奶；我還是要忙一切家事；我要放棄事業；我伸手要錢要看丈夫臉色
丈夫出門享樂而我得在家帶小孩；甚至於走樣的身材是丈夫外遇的藉口
這種種一切就是我的貢獻！
你不過是享受完之後，放一點精子在我肚裏，然後大睡，奇怪…這種情況，憑什麼小孩要跟著你姓？他的血他的肉他的一切都是我給的，你不過只給他一丁點兒，有什麼資格跟我爭？」

這場架吵完了，我記得那丈夫極力想爭辯，卻一點話都說不出來。
想一想，好像事實真是如此。

男人啊！以後真的要對自己的老婆好一點喔！

至於女人嘛！好好把這篇記下來吧！會很好用唷！
