The beautiful flower

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.

Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.

He stood right before me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "Look at what I found."

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals all worn-not enough rain, or too little light.

Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat by my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with overacted surprise,

"It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too.
That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead.

Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red.

But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.

So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, he held it midair without reason or plan.

It was then that I noticed for the very first time that weed-toting boy could not see; he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun as I thanked him for picking the very best one.

You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, unaware of the impact he'd had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree.

How did he know of my self-indulged plight?

Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me.

And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see the beauty in life, and appreciate every second that's mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose.

Might of Love...

Interesting........ 

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in"

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
 

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

The Gossip

 
A woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. 

The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. 

Later the woman responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was completely untrue.
She was very sorry and went to a wise old sage to find out what she could do to repair the damage.
 

" Go to the marketplace," he said, "and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road."  

Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
 

The next day the wise man said, "Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."
 

The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
 

" You see," said the old sage, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back.

So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."

This is what True Love is all about

 

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him look at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
 

While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation.  I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, 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 had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer' s Disease .
 

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
 

I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are? "
 

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, " She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."  I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
 

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.  

2 bas 2 kereta

GEORGETOWN: “Saya terdengar dentuman kuat disusuli jeritan rakan-rakan yang berada dalam bas ketika itu. Kami bergeas turun kerana bimbang ia terbakar,” kata pekerja kilang, Murni Hayati Zainal Abidin, 27, menceritakan kemalangan membabitkan dua bas kilang dan dua kereta berhampiran lampu isyarat Kawasan Perindustrian Fasa IV, Bayan Lepas, di sini, semalam.

Dalam kemalangan jam 6 pagi itu, rakannya, Noraini Razali, 40-an, patah kaki dan kini dirawat di Hospital Pulau Pinang (HPP), manakala tiga lagi rakan cedera ringan.

Menurutnya, bas terbabit yang boleh memuatkan 40 penumpang hampir penuh ketika kemalangan berlaku dan dia bersyukur tiada kejadian buruk yang menimpa mereka.
“Mujur kami semua selamat dan hanya Noraini agak parah, manakala saya dan rakan lain diberi rawatan sebagai pesakit luar,” katanya yang ditemui di Wad Kecemasan HPP.

Ketika kemalangan, bas kilang dinaiki Murni Hayati berhenti di lampu isyarat namun tiba-tiba datang sebuah lagi bas kilang merempuh bahagian kanan belakang bas terbabit sebelum ia terbabas dan melanggar lampu isyarat.

Difahamkan, dua bas terbabit membawa pekerja kilang elektronik yang sama dan satu daripadanya yang hilang kawalan membawa pekerja warga asing. Pemandu bas berkenaan dikatakan mengantuk sebelum dia hilang kawalan dan merempuh bas satu lagi.

Rempuhan kuat itu menyebabkan seorang pekerja kilang tercampak keluar dari bas dan menyebabkan dua kerusi tercabut serta tercampak ke tengah jalan.

Dua kereta yang berhenti di persimpangan lampu isyarat itu turut mengalami kerosakan, tetapi pemandu dan penumpangnya tidak mengalami kecederaan serius.

Pegawai Turus Trafik Pulau Pinang, Deputi Superintendan Abdul Rahim Md Din ketika dihubungi mengesahkan kemalangan berkenaan dan siasatan masih dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti puncanya.

“Kita akan mengambil keterangan daripada pemandu dan beberapa saksi bagi melengkapkan siasatan,” katanya.

Gaddafi terbunuh

TRIPOLI: Terkulai di kaki pejuang Majlis Peralihan Kebangsaan (NTC), gambar Muammar Gaddafi itu menjadi bukti terhadap dakwaan kematian bekas pemimpin Libya berkenaan, semalam.

Menurut laporan awal, Gaddafi ditemui berlindung dalam saluran sistem pembetungan di tengah Sirte sejurus selepas pejuang NTC memasuki bandar kelahirannya itu dalam serangan terakhir.

Seorang daripada pejuang NTC berkata, Gaddafi merayu supaya tidak ditembak ketika cuba menyerah diri.
Beberapa laporan media Arab melaporkan, Gaddafi, 69, menemui ajal akibat kecederaan pada kakinya.

Imej rakaman kamera telefon bimbit yang dikeluarkan sejurus selepas penangkapannya tersebar menunjukkan Gaddafi ditawan.

Pemberontak berkata, Gaddafi bersenjata sepucuk pistol bersadur emas ketika ditemui.

Pemimpin NTC, Abdel Majid Mlegta, berkata selain kaki, Gaddafi turut ditembak di kepala.

“Berlaku tembak-menembak sengit di antara pejuang NTC dengan penyokong Gaddafi sebelum dia mati,” katanya.

Menurut Abdel Majid, Gaddafi ditembak ketika cuba melarikan diri, manakala sumber lain mendakwa, bekas diktator Libya itu cedera terkena tembakan sekurang-kurangnya sekali di perut.

Gaddafi dan keluarganya melarikan diri sejak Nato dan pemberontak mula menguasai Tripoli pertengahan Ogos lalu.

Laporan penahanan Gaddafi yang memerintah selama 42 tahun muncul tidak lama selepas tentera NTC mengumumkan mereka menawan Sirte.

Laporan awal CNN dan NTC mendakwa, Gaddafi berjaya ditahan, manakala al-Jazeera menyatakan, “pemimpin utama” Libya diberkas kerajaan baru Libya, tetapi tiada butiran diberi.

Pada awal pagi semalam, NTC mendakwa, sekurang-kurangnya lima kereta membawa pejuang yang setia kepada Gaddafi cuba melarikan diri dari Sirte.

Pegawai NTC sebelum itu memberitahu Reuters, Gaddafi ditahan berhampiran Sirte ketika dia menyertai konvoi cuba melarikan diri sebelum diserang jet Nato.

Katanya, panglima tentera era Gaddafi, Abu Bakr Younus Jabr, terbunuh dalam operasi itu. - DM

Binatang yang tak ada perikemanusiaan

BEIJING: Lebih 10 orang pengguna jalan raya membiarkan seorang budak perempuan terbaring nazak di tengah jalan selepas dua kali dilanggar kenderaan, lapor agensi berita Xinhua, semalam.

Insiden itu mencetuskan kemarahan meluas di China.

Rakaman kamera litar tertutup menunjukkan, orang ramai tidak menghiraukan budak itu - dikenali sebagai Yue Yue - yang terbaring selepas dirempuh sebuah van.

Kemudian sebuah kenderaan lain turut menggilisnya sekali lagi di luar kedai milik keluarganya di bandar Foshan.

Seorang pengutip sampah akhirnya datang membantu Yue Yue dengan mengangkatnya ke tepi jalan sambil menjerit meminta bantuan.

Selepas tidak diendahkan, pengutip sampah itu mencari ibu mangsa sebelum dia dikejarkan ke hospital.

Doktor berkata, kemungkinan besar Yue Yue gagal diselamatkan. - AFP
