There was once a sculptur who happened to be walking through the forest. He saw a huge stone and told himself 'i can make a nice statue out of this stone', and so, slowly and painfully he dragged the stone all the way back to his home. And then he begin. With a chisel and hammer he worked on his stone. Many many months later, after much hard work, he had finished. he had made himself a great piece of art. One afternoon a friend of his came to visit him and saw the statue and praised him for his work.. And the sculptur said. I didnt do much, the statue was there all along... I just chipped of the rough edges and smoothened it.
...That story really caught my attention, i was watching Rambo III and the colonel told Rambo that story... It sort of just open up a whole new topic to think about. ( my past time before falling asleep ) i thought about how we, as humans all start our life just like that stone. And slowly and painfully the process of 'sculpting' starts.. Been disciplined by parents.. Going to school.. experiencing failure.. Negativity.. Lust.. going through heart break.. losing a loved one.. sickness.. greed.. jeolousy.. and the list goes on.
What im trying to say is that as we grow, we become who we are, by what we experience. No one can choose your path in life.. Disciplined children lead to a better society. Education gives us a solid foundation.. Failures, learn from failing. and turn failure to success. The 'once' negative have now turned to become optimist.. Going through a heart break makes you more cautious in giving up your love too easily. Sickness, if prevented is 'GOOD health'.
SO, where did it go wrong..?? why is evil still in this world? why do murderers cold heartedly kill? why do kidnappers abduct? why?? GREeD? is that why? or could be jeolousy? unfortunately we will never know why.. IN THis time and age we have to come to terms that EVIL is still around. A young student could just go on a shooting spree and kill dozens of students, or a beautiful young girl could be abducted from her nice resort apartment while sleeping..
Its just sad, it has just been a month or so since a student of Asian descent went on a killing rampage and cold heartedly killed 32 and wounded many more in Virginia and now, no one speaks about it. Its old news.. Life goes on.. But those people could have been just like us living life and enjoying every bit of their time while they had it. Was it their time to go? Was it destined for them to die the way they did? if so.. WHY?... again... we shall never know.
And two weeks ago in the town of Algarve,Portugal, a young girl Madeleine was sleeping in a nice resort apartment with her twin siblings, while her parents were having a meal nearby. There were checking on their children every 10 mins to See if there were ok. but on their last check, Madeleine had gone missing. The ground floor window of their apartment had been opened, and to this very day.. two weeks later police are still hunting down for her abductor/s... Again i ask.. why would anyone kidnap a young girl? where in their hearts did they find the coldness to take a young girl away from her parents? COUld the suspect be mentally ill? or could he be an enemy of the family? Hasnt he ever had a mother before? didn he know how she would have been hurt even when he got the slightest bruise? it just makes me wonder..
Truth to be told, we could go on asking questions, many a time not being able to answer them... i call that acceptance.. We accept the fact that its not a perfect world and problems will always be there.. Life is full of its twist and turns.. we can either choose to follow it going thru the hardships and pain or fall down in the process and regretting. BUT since we only live once, why not we take on the challenge of going on with life... with much practice we can learn to enjoy life, and by life, i dont mean the whole picture.. Life simply is birth and death.. but what happens inbetween this two ends are what really matters.. Make the decision to help yourself instead of asking for help.. IM a Christian.. and i know many christians who say god will help me, god will help me but, they're still failures.. WHY? GOD CAN ONLY HELP YOU IF YOU HELP YOURSELF.
I always wonder how much a negative person can achieve if he/she spents all the time he/she has on complaining on being positive.. why not instead of wasting precious time on insulting yourself, destructively critisizing yourself, complaining.. you know.. just start complimenting yourself.. shower yourself wf compliments all day long. make your self feel good. STop critisizing yourself but instead assure yourself that it can be done.. (constructive critisizing).. MOst people say that a person who can do all this has a gift . BUt again.. not true... all this can be done.. It just needs alittle bit of time and constant repetition.. Make it a habit..
i also know people who pretend nothing is wrong but theyre actually going thru hell inside.. Although this might sound like a bad thing.. IF you are not the kind to share your problems with others then theres nothing at all wrong with pretending.. Brian Tracy, a well known motivational speaker once said in one of his seminars.. The concept of FAKING IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.. can be applied to any situation. when you're down, pretend you're over the moon.. WHen you fail.. pretend you've already pass the next exam and be happy about it.. IM Not crazy.. ALL this effects us subconsciencly.. .. AS we pretend or 'FAKE IT' we are actually cheating the subconscience into thinking weve made it and MAGIC happens.. haha... enuf of that subconscience thingy la..
Just need everyone to know that there are no limitations to what humans can do.. ( fake it ) if we consider miracles to be something impossible happening or occuring . IT simply means that the impossible had happened and so its not so much of a miracle SO why not think EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.. and so nothing is a miracle? no harm in it right? if man can walk on the moon, or of Elton John and David Furnish can be a couple.. whatmore can be impossible? :S :D
I believe that Madeleine will be found 'ALIVE AND WELL'

I believe that A cure for AIDS will be found.
I believe that I WILL OWN AND DRIVE a FERRARI ONE DAY. MWHAHAAHAHAHAHA.
and no one can take my believes away... :D
haha.. anyway... hope i didn bore you guys wf tat blog. i thought it would be better writing my thoughts then to just forget about it tmrw.
Suresh.. :D
