Give love, Be love

The Words Of Mother Teresa

The common theme of Mother Teresa words reflect her work with the lonely, the sick, the dying and the destitute. Her unending love came through in her work and in her words.

She was forever compassionate towards the loneliness felt by “wealthy” people, who on the surface had it all. She was also very concerned about the breakdown of families.

Here is a collection of her words which say it all:

• Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
  
  
• I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
  
  
• If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
  
  
• Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
  
  
• Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents, parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
  
  
• It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
  
  
• If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
  
  
• Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
  
  
• Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
  
  
• Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
  
  
• Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
  
  
• Peace begins with a smile.
  
  
• Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
  
  
• The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
  
  
• The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.
  
  
• The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
  
  
• The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
  
  
• There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
  
  
• Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
  
  
• Good works are links that form a chain of love.
  
  
• In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

Mother Teresa’s message of love and hope lives on - it is now up to all of us to continue her work and make the world a better place.

Life!!!

View Of Life

Life is so amusing, what you do unto others will someday come back and haunt you.

Letting go is part of life, we need to teach ourselves how to say bye.

Moving on is essential to our maturity.

No one is immune to mistakes, they always happen.

How we react to them determines who we become.

Being afraid and ashamed is a sign of the lesson leaned.

We need to stop being selfish,lets start to think of the needs of others.

Reduce your lies and treat others with dignity.

If it happened, it was meant to, don’t stress about it (that’s why it is called the past).

Yesterday needed to be in order for today to come.

Live for today and rejoice yesterday because tomorrow awaits.

You are judged by how you treat others...

The Power of Your Actions

This is what i've picked from a blog...


One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.
He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived - I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

I do not mean to "eksploitasi" the story, but it's a good story for u all...

Examination is just next week!

Why?!*thunders blazing for the background*

FROM 5 ZUHRAH 2010

(Review: TV Programme: 'Escaped', Discovery Channel)
(The best episode I have seen)

Thad Phillips was rescued from the evil clutches of Joe Clark by the officers:Case 2, "The Tortured Truth": In 1994, 14-year-old Chris Steiner's body was found on a bank of the Wisconsin river. A year later, 13-year-old Thad Phillips was abducted by 17-year-old Joe Clark. Clark took Thad to his home and began to break Thad's ankles, legs and knees. Clark said he was fascinated with breaking bones and had done the same thing to Chris Steiner. After 43 hours, Clark left Thad alone. Thad was able to call the police. Clark was arrested and Chris Steiner's body was exhumed, revealing broken legs. In 1996, Clark was found guilty of torturing Phillips and of killing Steiner. He is now serving life.http://tv.yahoo.com/cold-case-files-18/show/6175/castcrewOn the evening of July 30, Clark again left the house but was taking no chances with Phillips this time. He locked the battered boy in the bedroom's closet before leaving. Inside the darkened cubicle Philllips had to have realized he was running out of chances to escape and even his enormous willpower had to be fading. Feeling around with his hands in the dark he found an old, heavy guitar and battered the door down with it. Dehydrated and his legs useless, Phillips slowly dragged himself down the stairs again, passing out repeatedly from pain and fatigue until he reached the kitchen phone and managed to shake the cord until the reciever fell from the hook. He then dialed 911 and explained his location and predicament to a suprised dispatcher.Officers quickly responded to the Clark house and rescued Phillips. He had been held capture for about 43 hours in total and had sustained horrible fractures to both legs which would require several surgeries over the years and result in a permanent limp. Soon afterward Clark was arrested and Phillips told officers that Clark had spoken of brutalizing two other boys, one who's name was Chris and another that he can't recall to this day. A subsequent search of the Clark home uncovered a ghoulish list of boy's names, some of which were listed under the heading, "The Leg Thing". Thankfully, Phillips bravery ensured that none of those potential victims would experience the torture that he and Steiner did.
