Water & Cups Story

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.

The Lecturer was happy to see them.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of
cups - some porcelain, some plastic, some glass, some plain looking
and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for hemselves.

When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only
want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and
stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we
unconsciously went for the better cups."

"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."

"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."

It is about time that we need to enjoy of WATER !!

B®ink Of Collapse

27 May 2008 Tues ~ After my routine tuesday training, my Sifu gather us to have some discussion. Mainly about the coming C'ship but there is a special case today. Well, not quite as expected that I got a little problem with the class. I skip all the details here. All the sudden I felt my patience, endurance have reach a limit.



When people did bad things towards me, I'll just sigh and 'Suan Le Bah'. Never mind, I can do it. Nevermind, she's my junior. Nevermind, maybe she busy, Nevermind, little boys class should be noisy. Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind..... This time I do mind. Why can't other do the opposite. I just wonder why other just need to be that calculative on doing things. Seldom for me to make complains. I don't know how to express myself now, maybe all those 'Negative Energy' that lays dormant and slumber all the while just receive a wake up call.



I need to channel it away now. I've make a promise not to fight anymore so the channel is closed. One of the channel option is closed. I'll find my ways. So I'll punish myself to write 100 words of nevermind today.

This is some form of SELF ABUSE. Please Don't TRY this at HOME!!

A Beautiful Present

25 May 08 Sun ~ Yeah.. Here I am after some slumber moment and lazy to write. It Sunday again and I'm as busy as usual. As out PTNP C'ship is approaching, the training become packed. All teams were squeeze inside the hall. Wow, I really can't take care all of them coz train teams need certain of attention for each team. I have about 9 teams, lucky that I got some assistant to help me out a little.

All goes well but not much progress especially my Power Rangers and Power Puff Girls team ( children team ). They really drains me out completely. Lastly the training over, and some members stay back to have some extra mile in Sparring. Really happy that they take effort to stay back and learn more. In martial art there are no short cut, not like studies, just read it and scores. In martial art, everthing is done little by little, gains through experience & experience is time consuming. Talents alone is not enough. I do have talented students but most of them just stop in the middle and gone with the wind and yet those who have perserverance stays on and eventually become better skills in some ways. Talents only give you extra boost and not permanent. For those who achieve better skill is just another stories of Rabbit Vs Little Turtle.

Sunday class is really such a hectic day. From 6.30 am in the morning to 8.00 pm in night only with little rest in afternoon. 2 of my stay back for some target training. I teach them some 'front side jep' and 'back kick. One of them miss the target and landed on my stomach Ouch... Well, after we packed up our things we have some chat. We touch about what going on around us, why a student of mine suddenly stop TKD even though he luv TKD very much. Maybe is just some attitude that matters. When talk about this, I explain to my student about her attitude problems also. There is a point when she make me mad. I explained to her how I handle the problems in order to prevent further damages to our relationship. Relationship needs time to build and yet easyly broken if either of the party back off.

I really mad and sad by the behaviour of not being responsible toward the action done. The consequences from the action taken is not taken into account. this is not the way of doin things I said. 'I have the every right to mad at you and don't bother you anymore' I said. 'But in this way non of the party will benefits from this type of action I taken'".... " Eventually you will leave our family and both also loose" I opts to consult some advise from my friends from various age group on how they see things.

So I believe I've taken the best approach for to FORGIVE first pending the appology from my student. FORGIVENESS is the best present after all. After all my lecture, my student admited and applogies to me. Well, forgive and forget is the next things. We chat on untill the time past so fast it's already Monday 12.09 am... Really hope they learn from my lecture They bade me goodnight and went home. I ask them to give me a call after arrived home but 20 minutes past no a ring. I'm worried and her mother said they didn't arrived home yet and I drive out to search them. Lucky that they arrived home minutes later and went to have some DaPau ( take away ) to eat... Phew....

Forgive and Forget,

Live Ur Live without REGRET,

The more you GIVE, the more you GET,

Thats the Live I pledge and BET......
