  • Children need love

     

    Children Learn What They Live

     by Dorothy Law Nolte

    If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
    If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
    If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
    If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
    If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
    If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
    If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
    If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
    If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
    If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
    If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
    If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
    If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
    If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
    If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
    If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
    If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
    If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves.
    If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

  • The true story of : The Three Little Pigs from the point of view of the Big Bad Wolf

    haha, interesting ....

     

    Way back in Once Upon a Time time, I was making a birthday cake for my dear old granny. I had a terrible sneezing cold. I ran out of sugar. So I walked down the street to ask my neighbor for a cup of sugar. Now this neighbor was a pig. And he wasn't too bright either. He had built his whole house out of straw. Can you believe it? I mean who in his right mind would build a house of straw? So of course the minute I knocked on the door, it fell right in. I didn't want to just walk into someone else's house. So I called, "Little Pig, Little Pig, are you in?" No answer. I was just about to go home without the cup of sugar for my dear old granny's birthday cake.

    That's when my nose started to itch. I felt a sneeze coming on. Well I huffed. And I snuffed. And I sneezed a great sneeze.

    And you know what? The whole darn straw house fell down. And right in the middle of the pile of straw was the First Little Pig - dead as a doornail. He had been home the whole time. It seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there in the straw. So I ate it up. Think of it as a cheeseburger just lying there. I was feeling a little better. But I still didn't have my cup of sugar . So I went to the next neighbor's house. This neighbor was the First Little Pig's brother. He was a little smarter, but not much. He has built his house of sticks. I rang the bell on the stick house. Nobody answered. I called, "Mr. Pig, Mr. Pig, are you in?" He yelled back."Go away wolf. You can't come in. I'm shaving the hairs on my shinny chin chin."

    I had just grabbed the doorknob when I felt another sneeze coming on. I huffed. And I snuffed. And I tried to cover my mouth, but I sneezed a great sneeze.

    And you are not going to believe this, but the guy's house fell down just like his brother's. When the dust cleared, there was the Second Little Pig - dead as a doornail. Wolf's honor. Now you know food will spoil if you just leave it out in the open. So I did the only thing there was to do. I had dinner again. Think of it as a second helping. I was getting awfully full. But my cold was feeling a little better. And I still didn't have that cup of sugarr for my dear old granny's birthday cake. So I went to the next house. This guy was the First and Second Little Pig's brother. He must have been the brains of the family. He had built his house of bricks. I knocked on the brick house. No answer. I called, "Mr Pig, Mr. Pig, are you in?" And do you know what that rude little porker answered? "Get out of here, Wolf. Don't bother me again."
    Talk about impolite! He probably had a whole sackful of sugar. And he wouldn't give me even one little cup for my dear sweet old granny's birthday cake. What a pig!

    I was just about to go home and maybe make a nice birthday card instead of a cake, when I felt my cold coming on. I huffed And I snuffed. And I sneezed once again.

    Then the Third Little Pig yelled, " And your old granny can sit on a pin!" Now I'm usually a pretty calm fellow. But when somebody talks about my granny like that, I go a Little crazy. When the cops drove up, of course I was trying to break down this Pig's door. And the whole time I was huffing and puffing and sneezing and making a real scene.

    The rest as they say is history.

    The news reporters found out about the two pigs I had for dinner. They figured a sick guy going to borrow a cup of sugar didn't sound very exciting.

    So they jazzed up the story with all of that "Huff and puff and blow your house down"

     

    And they made me the Big Bad Wolf. That's it The real story. I was framed. "

    But maybe you could loan me a cup of sugar ?

  • Shakira - hips don't lie '?'

    The song don't really match my style, but I really love this, this is one of the songs in my list, though the lyrics is very wild, I like her voice and belly dance : )

    Mood seems to get better as the temperature rise, the cold weather is freezing my body and my heart too...

    This week is a good week, nice to catching up with old friend again and catching up with the school schedule. Sleep early, weak up early without dashing to the bus stop but walking to school comfortably and enjoying a nice big breakfast before lesson is sooooo good. According to the ten things make you live happier in life, Good Time Management is on the list. Be wise and follow it.

    One of the other item is to think of things that you already have and are thankful for, Happy for having old friends and teachers who can keep really in contact. This makes me feel I am still making connection to the world and I am understandable.  

    Some famous quotes from today's lecture to share here (they contribute a lot in resuming my happiness)

    Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance                                            - Confucius

    Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety nine per cent perspiration                           - Thomas A Edison

    The wise adapt themselves to circumstances as water molds itself to the pitcher     - Chinese Proverb

    When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen                                     - Ernest Hemingway

    There are only two ways to live out yourlife. One is as though nothing miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.                                                                                                 - Albert Einstein

     

    Hope they are inspiriting.
