If your hearts do not melt - do not call yourselves human beings. (Zulkifli Nazim)
First - Do not be too hasty to judge others.
There was once
this guy who was very much in love with his girl.
This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his
girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future
doesn't seem too bright, but they were very happy together.
Until one day, his girl told him
she was going to Paris and will never come
back.
She also told him that she cannot visualise any future for the both of
them, so they went their own ways there and then...
Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked
hard day and night, persistently and doggedly taxing his body and mind just to make something out
for himself.
Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up
his own company ...
You never fail until you stop trying.
One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing
an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the
umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they
were his girl's parents. With a vengeance in getting back at them, he drove
slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan.
He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own
company, car, etc. And that he has made it!
What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery,
and so he got out of his car and followed...
and he saw his girl - a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever
at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside
her...
Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened.
They explained,
she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer.
She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be
his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone
doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you
with all they have.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if
the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those
back with him...
Once you have sincerely loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may
escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.
The guy just wept... ... ...
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her and knowing you are helpless, You cannot see her or be with her ever again.........
hope you understand. ! ! !
Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you,
for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant
nothing to you.
Second -
There is a reward for every Act of Kindness - however little.
and Gratitude is part of Faith.
One day, a poor
boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way
through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He
decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his
nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked
for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large
glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied
"Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness."
He said... "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but
his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and
quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were
baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in
specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for
the consultation. When he heard the name of the town the young woman came from, a
strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at
once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to
save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business
office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then
wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life
to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ; her
attention on the side as She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, GOD,
that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."
Think, Reflect, Contemplate and Ponder a while.
