They Are Really Cool

I have friends who are really cool. Nothing seem to affect them.

They are good workers. They accomplish their tasks under whatever circumstances. They quietly do all that is given without grumbling. They never retaliate against the bosses even if the directives seem unreasonable. They entertain all requests related to their field with a ready smile and kind words. They will refer their clients to other departments on all other requests. They are silent workers but high achievers. They are efficient and effective in all that they do. Sometime I wonder why they can be so meticulous in all that they do.

They are good colleagues. They are patient and they always strive to keep their composure. They share only what they really know but will readily submit to things they don't know. They will refer you to the right people on areas they have little expertise. They give only constructive advices that can help others and not blurt out everything they know. Their speech is always sharp and precise. Their concern always warms your hearts. They are always wise and respectable and you just love to sit near them every time you meet them. They are so friendly and helpful. You virtually want to share with them all that you know, all that you feel, and all that you do. But mind you, they don't put up with any nonsense and they will hurried away as soon as possible.

They are good friends. They have high regard for you and your family. They will readily greet and help you. But they will not meddle in your family affairs without your requests. Even so, they are always considerate and seek to bring close your relationships. Good friends are hard to find. But once you find them they are your true friends for a long time.

I try to understand the secret of their cool. Then I realize that these people fear God and desire to do all His biddings.

I believe I can also be that cool...too

Life is a drag without inspiration

Some of us are talented. We are gifted in art, music, literature etc. We are successful in our works and we contribute much for the well-being of the world we live in.



Some of us are less talented and we yearn for more inspiration. Inspiration can help us produce exciting new ideas and make us want to create something new, better or different.

Some have resorted to dreams for a rich source of inspiration. Others have relied on music. A visit to the theater can also inspires us. And sometimes certain people in our social groups also spur us on to create and do something.

We all need inspiration to face our daily activities. When we are inspired, a sudden brilliant and timely idea triggers in our mind. We feel better and want to be successful. We have the desire, confidence and enthusiasm to do something well in our life.

Inspiration can also affect others. The role we play in the society can give others confidence and loyalty toward us. We can influence others to work better, produce better results and improve their lifestyles.

Life is a drag without inspiration. Are you inspired today?

Shake It Off And Step Up

A farmer's mule tripped and fell into the well. It began to bray. The farmer tried but was unable to bring it up. Finally, he called his neighbors together to help haul dirt into the well to bury the mule.

The mule was puzzled, but as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling the dirt onto its back, It began to shake off the dirt and step up.

"Shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up."

Even though it took painful blows of the dirt and had to fight panic, it just kept on shaking it off and stepping up!

It wasn't long before the mule got out from the well.

What could have buried it alive actually blessed it... all because of the manner it handled its adversity.

Be positive men when the going gets tough.

Living In Peace And Harmony

Living in peace and harmony has become a luxury today. Many of us just refuse to live together.

Many of our spouses no longer respect, love and be loyal to one another. They readily divorce each other and split the family, leaving the children to suffer.

Many of our children no longer respect, honor and treasure their parents anymore. Many of our old men are neglected, ill-treated and thrown into old folks home.

Many of our parents no longer have the welfare of their children in their hearts. They don't even speak to one another anymore.

Many have fewer friends and neighbors as time goes by. We can't tolerate others when they don't see things our way. We become self-centered and self-pleasing. We only want friends of common interests.

Today, we have more and more conflicts and wars. Today, we have more and more misunderstandings and arguments. Today, we no longer love, respect and trust one another.

And we can't even live with the nature. We have to destroy our surroundings in order to develop our world. And we pollute them all.

And now we have economic crisis. We have unemployment and social unrest. We have conflicts and wars. We have natural disasters around the world.

O, what have we done, "civilized" people in a "developed" world?
