God Can Not be Everywhere, So He Created Mother. Love You Mom

“I love my mother. Really. But I’ve surrendered to the undeniable fact – that I would never love my mother more than my mother loves me.” – quoted from Bo Sanchez’s article

Mom..
Yesterday I saw you..
Your finger has been hurt for more than a week because of the knife scratches, and it can hurt even longer if you do any house works that involve water. Our housemaid is on holiday. I told you to leave all the dishes till I came home from work everyday, and I would do the wash. But when I got home, you told me happily that you bought a pair of gloves that you could use to wash the dishes. And I saw there were no dirty dishes left. No sadness, no regrets, no perforce in your eyes. I only saw happiness. And I know why. Although you didn’t say, I know. You don’t want to see me tired after one day of work at my office. You want to give me as much rest as possible at home. Your finger hurt is nothing compared to the additional rest you can give me.

It was only one little thing you did for me. One out of a million bigger things you’ve done for me every single day.

I don’t understand why sometimes I forget or don’t realize how much you love me.. When I’m having a bad mood, when I don’t get what I want, when I’m sad because of my own problems, when I’m busy, when.. , when.. , when.. Many times it seems I choose to ignore for a moment what you’ve done for me all these time, all my life. Things that I rarely do for you, but you always do for me as sincere as you can be, expecting nothing at all in return.

I want to say sorry for every pain, every worry, every drop of tear I gave you. I want to say thank you for every piece of love, care, and sacrifice you gave me. But I know it’s not what you want from me. You want ME to be happy, always be happy, as simple as that. You want to see ME smile and be the happiest girl on earth. You don’t need anything from me to continue loving me more than anything in the world.

But I also know something. I know what can make YOU the happiest person on earth. A smile on my face, a hug and love from me. And I will do it, to see a smile on your beautiful face.

Self-confidence is the Key to success

A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized.Nonetheless, the executive decided to put the check in his safe first. Just knowing it was there, would give him the strength to work out away to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and got extended terms of payment from creditors. Soon he could close some big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly a year later, he returned to the park with that uncashed check. The old man did not appear for some time yet the business executive decided to wait for a while more. A while late
the old man came along the way but seemed to be unmindful of the business executive. He stopped the old man and was about the hand over the cheque with a few words of thanks as well as share his success story.

At the same time, he saw a nurse come running up and grabbing the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller." And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his new found self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after. He understood that Confidence is nothing but the distant vision held positively no matter what comes in between. It comes from one's own commitment and dedication and entirely internal.

"Our duty is to encourage everyone in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the truth"
