万事都互相效力

跑经济新闻的记者到一家生意兴隆的公司采访。正和年轻的老板谈话时，他突然看见办公桌上放着一祯照片，照片上的男人严肃而冷峻。
“是令尊吗？” 记者恭敬的问。
“不是的，” 他答，“不过我能有今天，都是他的功劳。” 这个年轻的老板看记者一脸不解的样子，笑道：“那人是我以前的老板，是个非常卑鄙苛刻的小人。我在他的手下吃了许多苦头，当初就是为了争一口气，被他逼极了才出来创业。我把他的照片放在桌上，是为了随时警惕自己，假如我怠惰不努力，就得回去再向他讨饭吃。”

任何一件事、任何一个人都可以成为我们的祝福。
[万事都互相效力] ，意思是说：任何事情都可以对我们产生正面效应，不管是顺利、拦阻，只要能够掌握正确的原则，一定能够对我们的生命有所帮助。因此不论处在任何景况中，仍然可以在其中找到恩典的果实。

特别是一些惨痛的经历，往往能够刺激我们，激发出内在的力量，做到一些过去做不到的事情，发挥出隐藏在心灵深处的潜能。挫折是我们的导师，羞辱是我们的教本，提供我们勇往直前的智慧。

下次如果遇到一件令你非常受伤的事情，或碰到一个恶劣到极点的人，先不要气愤，反而要先感恩，因为这里面可能将产生奇妙的契机与转变。你要更有耐心的去体会，更细心的去观察，到底这些事情的来临存着何种意义，把它加以转换，找出其中的成功线索，化为旺盛的能量，让自己可以快速的脱离苦海，开创出海阔天空的大格局。

何不转个弯

一对夫妻拿着大包小包的行李冲进火车站。一副很匆忙的样子。
“请问一下，”丈夫满头大汗地抓住一位站务员问道：“五点半的火车走了没有？”
“抱歉，先生！ 那列火车才刚刚出站。”站务员回答。
只见丈夫很懊恼地把行李往月台上重重一摔，粗声粗气地对着妻子说道：“要不是你耽误了这么久的话，我们早就赶上这一班火车了。”
气喘吁吁的妻子一听到这话，立刻杏眼圆睁，恼羞成怒地说道：“没错，但如果不是你那么拼命催促我的话，我们就可以悠哉悠哉的坐下班火车，而不用在这儿等那么久啦！”



人生何必如此匆忙？错过了一班车，还可以再等下一班，何必把自己弄得紧张兮兮？我们已习惯匆忙，常为了眼前的不顺畅而懊恼半天，以至轻易的错过许多美妙的事物，造成双重损失。

下次碰到塞车时，先不要埋怨，看看安全岛上的小草，看看路旁的野花。你会发现小草的可爱，野花的美丽，那是平常我们没有机会好好欣赏的景物。

生活当中遇到的拦阻或障碍,都是上天对我们的赐福。他要我们从中发现一些新的宝藏，得到新的乐趣。心情常常需要转个弯，免得处处碰壁；当你愿意接受眼前的无奈和顿挫，反而有新的契机出现。

经过柳暗之后，满目的花明会令你欣喜。
因此，如果得不到你所爱的，就爱你所得到的。
生命中绝对没有所谓的枉费--当你愿意认真去体验时。

Story of butterfly

Butterfly's Story ...story of butterfly



One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon.

A man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.

So, the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body and a pair of shriveled wings. The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support butterfly's body, and become firm.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were GOD's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.
If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we would have been. Never been able to fly.

I asked for Strength...
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom...
And God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity...
And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage…..
And God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for Love...
And God gave me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors...
And God gave me Opportunities.

“I received nothing I wanted...
But I received everything I needed."

Live life without fear, face with all obstacles and show that we can overcome them.

Good or Bad

If one can Understand this, he or she will find life much easier.

Butterfly meets with hibiscus

When butterfly meets hibiscus...
what will happen?

Thinking of butterfly meeting hibiscus, let's think about this :
~How many people really live their lives?
~What more to cherish it?
~Remember, we have only the present moment to live.

There was this angel who came down to earth and fell in love with a human being. Eventhough he could appear physically in front of the one he loves, he couldn't feel pain, joy, sadness or sorrow. He can't feel anything. However, he has a choice - to choose to be a human being to have all worldly experiences and be a mortal or continue to be an angel and live for eternity. Because his love was so strong, he finally chose to be a human being. For once, when he fell down, he felt the pain of a cut. What joy he feels eventhough his blood continues to ooze out from the cut. He rushed to find the girl he loves. Eventhough he went through all the obstacles to find her, he enjoyed every moment of it. Finally right before his eyes was the girl whom he has given up eternity for. They hugged each other, their lips met, they made love. For the first time, he was able to feel all the sensations of his new found human life. I'm sure by now, you could imagine how he felt at that point.

The next day, he woke up, feeling so estatic and happy. His loved one has left a "love note" and a ready made breakfast for him and has gone out for some sundry shopping. Halfway, she met an accident and died. He was devastated when he came to know about it. He has now not only lost eternity but he has also lost the girl he loves. He is now alone in a new world feeling all the pain and sorrow and nobody to share with.

At that moment, one of his former angel friends appeared and asked "Tell me,if you have known that this is going to be the outcome, would you still become a human being?" Here is what he said, "I would rather have one kiss of her lips, one touch of her skin, a taste of her breath than an eternity without it".

May you cherish the life that most people took for granted, be it "good" or "bad"
