A true friend sees the good in everything and brings out the best in the worst of things....
Who is your friend?

27/10/2018

People who seem the strongest are usually the most
sensitive.

• The people who exhibit the most kindness are the
first to be mistreated.

• The people who take care of others before
themselves are usually the ones who need the care
the most.

• The people who smile the most don't always have
a perfect life. You need to look closely behind the
smile to see the pain.

• The three hardest things to say are "I
Love You" " I am Sorry " and " Help me "

Be Thankful for those people who try to make a
difference in your life.

You may have had a negative history, but please understand; you don't have to have a negative future. What's is important is not where you've come from, what matters is where you are going.

Here's to the people who always have a smile on their face and no matter what they're going through, they put others before them.
For a person to really truly have peace on the inside they have to be willing to show it even when times are turbulent. Showing good manners, and being kind are hard things to do when you are being provoked, but when you continue to act in a manner that shows light no matter how dark it is, you prove that you are truly an enlightened individual.
In becoming who we hope to become we have to stand by the principle that living a life for others is the only way to make real value out of your life. Though there are some who will try to bring you down because they themselves are miserable, we have to be willing to fight against this and be the kind, gentle leaders that we all have the capability of being. No one will follow you if you can't be a beacon of light in everything that you do, life just doesnt work that way.

LOVE SHOULD BE SHARED NOT FORCED

We must keep in mind that we cannot force anyone To love us the way we want. We should not beg someone to stay when they want to leave. That is what love is All about FREEDOM. Moreover, the end of LOVE is not The end of LIFE. It should be the beginning of an understanding that LOVE SOMETIMES LEAVES FOR A REASON, BUT NEVER LEAVES WITHOUT A LESSON.
If someone truly loves you, they will never give you a reason to doubt it. Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you, but it takes someone really special to stay in your life and prove how much they LOVE YOU.
Sometimes it takes a while to find The right person, but the right person is always worth The wait. Do NOT rush my friend, just take it slow. You will find someone who will love you the way you are... Just be patient and cry no more!..

Emergency Medical Tips just received from a Friend

Keep a syringe or needle in your home to do this...

It's amazing &an unconventional way of recovering from stroke, read it through it can help somebody one day.
This is amazing.
Please keep this very handy.
Excellent tips.
You'll never know, ones life may depend on you.
My father was paralysed and later died from the result of a stroke.
I wish I knew about this first aid before.
When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. (Irene Liu)
When a stroke occurs, stay calm.
No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.

Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over again and then the blood letting can begin .

If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best.

Otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of all ......10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about an mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 digits is bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.
6. If the victim's mouth is crooked , then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each earlobe.
After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital.
Otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.

If he could save his life, barely managing to walk, then it is by the grace of his ancestors.

'I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.

Furthermore, I had practical experience with it, therefore, I can say this method is 100% effective.

In 1979, I was teaching in Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung.

One afternoon, I was teaching a class when another teacher came running to my classroom and said in panting,
'Ms Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had astroke !'. I immediately went to the 3rd floor.
When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, his colour was off, his speech was slurred , his mouth was crooked -all the symptoms of a stroke.

I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 fingers tips.

When all 10 fingers were bleeding (each with apea-sized drop of blood),after a few minutes, Mr. Chen's face regained its colour and his eyes' spirit returned,

But his mouth was still crooked . So I pulled on his ears to fill them with blood .
When his ears became red ,
I pricked his right earlobe twice to let out two drops of blood .
When both earlobes had two drops of blood each ,a miracle happened .
Within 3-5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear.

We let him rest for a while and have a cup of hot tea , then we helped him go down the stairs, drove him to Wei Wah Hospital .
He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach.. Everything worked normally.
There were no ill after effects.
On the other hand, theusual stroke victimusually suffers Irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital.
As a result, these victims never recover.' (Irene Liu)
Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death.
The lucky ones will stay alive but can remain paralysed for life.

It is such a horrible thing to happen in ones life.

If we can all remember this blood letting methodand start the life saving process immediately, in a short time, the victim will be revived and regain 100% normality.

IF POSSIBLE PLEASE FORWARD THIS AFTER READING . YOU NEVER KNOW IT MAY HELP SAVE A LIFE FROM STROKE

DO YOU KNOW THAT NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT YOUR CERTIFICATE?

The educational system has blinded a good number of young people. If I were you, I would take this article seriously.

When I see students engaging in examination malpractice and visiting illegal websites to access leaking question papers, I just shake my head in pity. All these for good grades?

The system has made these students think that a good certificate is the greatest achievement in their career. This is why we keep producing graduates who can not defend their so called distinctive results.

I beg to break the bad news.
In reality, nobody really cares about your certificate. When I say REALITY, I mean after you graduate from school because you may likely not notice it when you are still a sophomore. Until you become a graduate, you may never realize this bitter truth.

Well, this doesn't mean that getting good grades is bad. In fact, it's beautiful to become the best graduating student but can you defend the result practically?
Sorry, I didn't put the question right.
This is a better question 👇
Are you busy chasing grades such that you've failed to develop yourself into an irresistible person of value?

Oops!
I rather put it this way 👇
What can you bring to the table that would amaze people to the extent that they strive to hire you at all cost?

It's pathetic that there are a lot of Computer Science graduates who can not develop a website. Tell me, which organization will hire you to handle their digital jobs when you only learnt theories by just reading to pass or bribing your way through distinctions?

I think I need to share this here.
I've worked with people who almost thought I studied Literature in the University. They never cared about my Accounting certificate when hiring me to write for them.
When people sign up for my writing courses, nobody really cares if I have a certificate in English Language.

Funnily enough, some English Language graduates have not thought of writing a book for once.
When I draw commissioned art works, nobody really cares about the fact that I have no certificate in Fine Art.

Don't let certificates blind you.
People do not really care about your title or certificate; they care about your ability to solve their problems.

If you are a young person, I advise you to develop yourself into an asset who can solve real life problems because dumping faint theories in your head is hazardous.
If you are still an undergraduate, strategically think of how you can become a solution to real life problems while you passionately study hard for good grades. Stop wasting your energy on malpractices, it makes your brain dull.

Can I shock you?

You sharpen your brain when you allow it think instead of looking for an easy way out. That's how to become creative.

The society has placed so much importance on certificates to the point that students no longer see the need to be useful in the society.
If that's the system you see in your country, you should choose to be wise before you fall among jobless youths blaming the government for everything.

Use your head; most importantly, USE YOUR HANDS.

You are all you need to stand out.
Don't become a liability trapped in some filthy mediocrity.

THINGS THAT CAUSE REGRET AT OLD AGE

When younger we make various choices without the future in mind. Sometimes those choices bite us in our mid-life. These are some of the things one might regret when they're older.

1. Marrying the wrong person

When you're young, check your motives for marrying. Don't marry to copy your peers, or for social standing or out of pressure. Marry for love and companionship, marry the right person, marry your best friend. For if you marry the wrong person or for the wrong reasons, you will have to put up with that person the rest of your life. Things might get worse between you two; then depression, physical abuse, affairs, pain, shame, court cases, bitterness will define your mid-life years all because you chose the wrong one. Things will get worse when children are involved. Make the right choice of a spouse when you are young.

2. The opportunities you did not seize

When you are younger many doors will open, you will get many chances. Many young people let these opportunities go because of fear, laziness, or pride; yet well younger and with more energy is the best time to start a venture and a name for yourself. Some think the opportunities are too big for them. Take advantage of them or one day when you're older you will want to go back and grab those missed chances.

3. The bridges you burned

When we are younger, we care little for relationships, what most think about is getting money and moving up the ladder of success at all cost. Many use and trample on people to progress, they take relationships for granted, messing up bonds, sleeping with people for personal gain. But these bad actions will catch up with you ahead. When you will realize how empty life is without love and friends. When you will have success but no one around you or no one to trust you.

4. The child you aborted

You are a young lady, you get pregnant and you are scared. You take the aborting option quickly thinking of that moment then. But when you are much older, you will look back and wish you kept that baby. When you will be rich and successful you will wish that child you gave up on would be around to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Being a single mother doesn't mean you can't make it in life or you can't find a man in future.

5. The child you rejected

Young man, you impregnated a woman, she told you she's pregnant with your child. You rejected her and the baby and ran. But years later when you're 50 something, you will wish you were responsible, you will wish you manned up and became a father to that child. You will see that child excel and become an adult but will have no claim to that grown child who you rejected from the beginning. You will regret being a Dead Beat Dad by choice

6. The marriage you destroyed

So you get married to your good fiance; the first months in marriage were good but shortly after, with your money and charm, you started having affairs. You became unfaithful. Your spouse begged you to stop, your children started hurting, your marriage was collapsing. One day when you are older, it will hit you how foolish you were to destroy the good marriage you had began to build for mere temporary thrills in affairs that did you no good. You will realize the damage you caused to your children and spouse.

7. The God you disowned

When you are much older you become wiser, God becomes more real as you see life in a more meaningful way. But don't wait to get older to start enjoying a relationship with God. Know God when you are young, build your future with God. Don't be a young rebel who runs back to God when age catches up.

8. *The body you messed

You have only one body to live with all your life. The ci******es, the alcohol you are abusing, the drugs you are taking, the unhealthy food you're consuming; all that will destroy you slowly. When you are 50 and lifestyle diseases catch up with you, you will wish you took care of your body when younger, that you exercised more; but now the damage is done.

9. The time you wasted

The time you are wasting when younger in worry, wrong relationships, laziness, being a couch potato, giving excuses and pursuing meaningless things; you will never get it back.

10. The dreams and talents you shelved

Are you talented when young; are there things you love to do and you are good at them? Nurture those talents, exploit them, don't give up even if you encounter set backs, don't give up on your dreams. If you give up, when you're older you will look at your peers who stuck to what they love and made it and think to self, "That could have been me". Pursue a career, study a course you love. Don't waste years of your life in a field that doesn't fulfill you.

11 The name you defamed

When you are older, a legacy is very important, the value of your name is crucial. You will ask yourself what is your reputation, what are you leaving behind? Your legacy is a sum total of your actions since youthful days. We write our biography by how we live life everyday. When you look back your path and you see the mud you threw at your own name, the shame you attracted and the little value you have added to the world; you will regret.

12. The wealth you threw away

Are you riding on good money during your productive years? Earning good money? Don't throw away that money in clubs, reckless living and wasteful shopping. Invest with that money, widen your revenue stream, make that money work for you and keep it safe to take care of you in your older years. Leave an inheritance for your loved ones so that you will never say "I wish I knew better"

13. The good love that got away

Is there that great person in your life loving you good? Don't push that person away, or else that person will walk out your life and you will never ever find someone that incredible and who connects with you all your life. It will torment you to grow older with thoughts of "What if I was still with that person?"

14 The parents you despised

When younger, it is easy to show contempt to your parents; what do your parent's know? They are old-fashioned, shady and small -minded. But your parents are still your parents whether you agree with them or not, whatever their style. Don't let your parent die or age separated from you, reconcile and make up. When you get older, you will realize why your parents wanted to be close to you. The older you get, the more you see the value .
