Words From The Heart

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.---Cicero---

Four things come not back:

the spoken word,

the sped arrow,

the past,

the neglected opportunity.

--------Omar Ibn Al-Halif--------

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Motivated by Desire

sherryfun — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 18:30:51 GMT

Motivated by Desire

Every person's desire motivates him. It gives zest and vigor to life. To cease desiring is to quit living and start dying.Reasonable desire can be reasonably attained provided the necessary thought and effort are put forth. For instance, if you would have fish,get a net and drop it in the water;if they are not there,pick another fishing hole.

We may never get all we want;the list may be too long for so few years. But actually, there is more peace in wanting what we get than in getting what we want. And there is more ecstasy in the chase than in the catch.

------Today Forever-----

Thy wish was father to that thought.

--------William Shakespeare--------

More Than a Living

sherryfun — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:36:47 GMT

More Than a Living

May it never be said of any of us,"He made a living but never lived."Making a living is important but never as an end within itself---only as a means to living.

Life isn't a bed of roses,but it can be a rose garden.It will have some thorns that prick but also a thousand roses to adorn our paths and to provide a delightful aroma. Though life has its pricks,caution will lessen them. Also,gathering a few roses to hand to others will enliven us. And taking time to enjoy the rose-scented air will invigorate us. It is living.

Time hurries past thee like the breeze;

How swift its moments fly,

Make haste, O man! to live.

--------Horatius Bonar------

Forsake the foolish, and live...

-----Proverbs 9:6 ------

You Can

sherryfun — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 22:38:55 GMT

You Can

Don't listen to the "can'ters"who say a thing can't be done.It just may be they can't do it,not you. With their brains in negative gear,we shouldn't expect them to do it. When a person says"I can't," he bids himself to stand still while success moves on and leaves him behind.

The Moving Finger of History records successes and failures, and in writing them it separates the "I caners"from the "I can'ters." And all the tears of unaccomplishment won't wash out one word, but a change of mind---"I can"---can alter the future. Having broken the iron shackles of laziness and fear, there is the precious freedom to perform, to attain. You can!

It is now almost my sole rule of life to clear myself of can'ts and formulas.

--------------THOMAS CARLYLE-------------

Jesus said unto him,If thou canst believe,all things are possible to him that believeth.

--------MARK 9:23----------

" From The Heart Of A Friend " ~ : )

There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving,and that's your own self. So you have to begin there,not outside,not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner.

---- Aldous Huxley ----

Five years from now you will be pretty much the same as you are today except for two things:the books you read and the people you get close to.

----Charles Jones ----

Three things will make life worth living:a self fit to live with;a faith fit to live by;and a purpose fit to live for.

I miss my childhood

sherryfun — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:59:04 GMT

I miss my childhood

I miss my childhood,I remember when I was a little girl I lived in a beautiful village in the country with my parents. My family was not a wealthy one in the village then,but we had some of the harvest that because of the effort we've ever made in our life.Our house had a bamboo fence,we fed ducks ,chicken,rabbits and some goats in the yard, we also planted some fruits in it,my parents never bought any seed from the market,every time after we ate the fruits we let the seeds fell into the soil,then after weeks the sprouts grew up from the soil,so we had the big trees in the yard,very naturally.I often played "hide and seek"with the children in the neighborhood at the village. After I came back home from school,the first thing I usually did was to feed the goats with some grass,I was a seven- year-old girl then,after that my parents moved to another new house and they quit feeding livestock anymore.

Day after day I grew up,I realized my parents spent almost their time to raise the family so hardly,because my family was not so wealthy when I was in my little young age,and they took almost their whole life to breed us -six children including me,all my sisters and brothers' age are so close to mine,so my parents must take lots of their energy and time to raise and take care of us.

This is my family and I love my parents very deeply,especially my father,he took almost all his life to take care and raise us in this large family,thankful God,I have such a kindness father and mother, and now I am an adult,it's really different from that when I was a young little girl,I need to learn how to make living by myself and also need to learn how to protect me myself from the outside world.

Recently I read some stuff,feeling really good,so I'd like to show the stuff what I've read from the book on here to share with all my friends as following :

Something like home that is not home is to be desired,it is found in the house of a friend. ---- Sir W. Temple ----

Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who travel the way with us. Oh,be swift to love,make haste to be kind.

You will find,as you look back upon your life,that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

Oh ~the weather outside is raining~

Brrr... the weather these two weeks in Taipei are so cold and keep raining all day long,the temperature here is low and the air is full of humidity,the sky here in Taipei looks so gloomy and cloudy,outside the windows and doors every where are so wet and it's surely influenced me a little bit by this kind of weather, so my mood is influenced by the kind of weather ...brrr....Next week on Wednesday will be the Chinese Lunar New Year's day,hope the weather will turn into brightly sunny day on next week .Every year at the Eve of Chinese Lunar New Year, all the Chinese will try to stay with their family together to celebrate this holiday,and I'll go back to my parents' house to have a big dinner party with my brothers and their children,children will get their red envelope at the Eve of Chinese Lunar New Year,in Chinese traditional custom parents put some money in the red envelope to give out the red envelopes to their children after the New Year's Eve dinner,that means you'll have good luck in the whole coming new year,this is the part of Chinese traditional custom,all my brothers and sisters have married and they have their own family and children so they'll give their children some red envelopes but I'm still single,so it's not count on me ;).So, my life is pretty simple and easy,I treasure all the knowledge what I've learned and got before and now in my life and I'll treasure all the cherish friendships what I have in my life :)

The Poem : )

The Poem : )

Robert Frost ( 1874 ~ 1963 )

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler,long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh,I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence;

Two roads diverged in a wood ,and I --

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

I remembered that when I was a freshman studied in the college(I majored in English then ),me and my classmates need to read this poem,and my teacher she gave us the test about this poem, :)
