Real love

It was approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s arrived to have stitches remove from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 a.m. while taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. The gentleman told me that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease and that she had not recognized him in five years now. I asked him, “Do you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled as he said, “She doesn’t know me, but I still know her.”

Wow power

Last spring, I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me, were a mom and her three-years-old daughter. The little girl was holding onto string that was attached to a helium balloon.

 Suddenly, a strong wind took the balloon from the little girl. I guessed she would scream and crying. But the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she said, “wow!”

 I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that she taught me something. Later that day, I received a phone call from my friend who had unexpected problem. I felt like answer, “Oh, what should I do?” but, remembering that little girl, I said “Wow, that’s interesting. How can I help you?”

 One thing is sure that life is always unexpected problems. But we can choose to be frustrated or fascinated. No matter what the situation, a interesting reaction will always beat a frustrated ‘Oh, no’. So the next time we experience life’s unexpected situation, remember that little girl and make it a ‘Wow!’. The incantation always works.

Mistake is your wonderful teacher.

You should not be afraid to mistake. Mistakes are a sign of life to the fullest. However many people are fearful of taking action in their lives. Because they fear it will be a mistake. The most successful people in the world have failed over again until they achieved their dream. Tomas Edison reportedly tried over 1,000 times to make the light bulb. When he was told that he had made 1,000 mistakes, he replied that “I never failed. I just discovered 1,000 ways not to make a light bulb.”

 As always, we cannot avoid mistakes in life. Therefore, if you want to success in your life, you must make mistakes and do not afraid your actions. You will have the opportunity to look for another, better things.  

Bill

Bill Jones is a country storekeeper down in Louisiana, and last spring he went to New Orleans to purchase a stock of goods.

The goods were shipped immediately and reached home before ge did. When the boxes of goods were delivered at his store by the delivery man, his wife happened to look at the largest one. She uttered a loud cry and called for a hammer. A neighbor, hearing the screams, rushed to her assistance and asked what was the matter. The wife, pale and faint, pointed to an inscription on the box which read as follows: “Bill inside.”

SNOW SNOW SNOW

TODAY'S WEATHER IS VERY VERTY INCLEMENT.
I HATE SNOW.



The snow has melted into slush.
The road is muddy, my shoes are dirty, and umbrella bothered me.
White and big snow flake?

Maybe, … I lost a kind of pure?
 Anyway I don’t care about it. I wish it would stop snowing soon.
( and, I wish that piled-up snow melt tomorrow. Please. )

porch? poche?

One day, a wanderer happens to reach a neat looking farmhouse. He goes up to the front door and knocks on it. When the farm owner answers, the wanderer asks him, “Please, sir. I haven’t had a good meal in several days. Could you give me something to eat?” The owner says, “I have made a lot of money in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. I’ve never give anything for free. If you go to the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a paintbrush. If you paint my porch at the back of the house, I will give you a good meal.”

 So the wanderer goes the back and a while later he again knocks on the door. The owner says, “Already finish? Ok. Come on in and sit down. Cook will bring your meal right in.” “Thank you, sir” the wanderer says, “But there’s something that I think you should know. It is not a Porche you got there. It is a BMW.”

Tip for good night's sleep.

If you have difficulty in sleeping at night, here is some good advice for you to have a good sleep.

1.   Avoid caffeine four to six hours before bedtime. Caffeine is in coffee, soda, iced tea, chocolate, and various medications.

2.   Research has shown that a heavy meal too close to bedtime interferes with sleep, but a light snack may help you feel sleep. For example, milk proved to help good nighttime.

3.   Try to get some exercise. Some studies have shown that exercise right before bed is not as bad as everyone might think.

Sapporo snow festival!

I intend to travel overseas when I have winter vacation. It is my second overseas trip. The nation is Japan. I like snow and ice, so I will definitely enjoy the week – long Snow Festival held every winter in Sapporo, Japan. There are three venues for the festival, and each offers a distinct experience. The Odori site is where I can observe 12 teams from different countries to make their masterpieces for the snow sculpture contest. At the Tsudome(Sapporo Community Dome) location, I can find my way out if an ice maze or slide down a huge slide made of snow and ice. Finally, the Susukino site is where the opening and closing ceremonies and the ice sculpture contest take place. If I am lucky enough, I can take a photo with the Ice Queen, the winner of the festival’s beauty pageant.

 Although the festival attracts two million people annually, this festival actually had very humble beginnings. In 1950, a few high school girls built a few ice statues in Odori Park. A few years later, the Self – Defense Force joined in by building an enormous ice sculpture, and the rest is history. I had a question that is where all the snow and ice comes from. My friend said, “It is transported and brought in from around Sapporo area. The amount of snow is equal about 6,500 five-ton trucks.” So I will not let all that snow go to waste. I will not care about the cold weather. I really want go winter festival!
