When You GIVE. . .

- (22/10/12 02:15)
When you GIVE, don't remember it. When you RECEIVE, don't forget it. . . ! The greatest share of your HAPPINESS or MISERY depend on your ATTITUDE. . .and NOT on your CIRCUMSTANCES. Are you at a point in your life, where you do NOT want to be? Could it be that you are WHERE you are today, because you were put there with a special purpose to fulfil? Instead of waiting for your circumstances to CHANGE before you go on with your life, why don't you change your attitude? Instead of criticizing others rather give encouragement. Make this a way of living & you will always be appreciated & respected for touching other's lives & making a difference. I salute you! XX

At MID NIGHT tonight it is 7 YEARS since KOBRA CHAT became my HOME. . . I have a LARGE KOBRA FAMILY who are very close to my heart. Those 7 YEARS will always be REMEMBERED and TREASURED as the most REWARDING time of my LIFE. "I MAY NEVER SEE TOMORROW; THERE'S NO WRITTEN GUARANTEE, THAT IS WHY TODAY IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME. . . I MAY NOT HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE ON BENDED KNEES TO PRAY. . .AND THANK GOD WITH HUMBLE HEART FOR GIVING ME THIS SPECIAL DAY!! " Some people come into our lives, but quickly go away. . . Some just stay for a while,but disappear into yesterday. . . Some like YOU, leave their footprints in our hearts,and we can never be the same. . . FOR YOU HAVE WRITTEN IN MY HEART, YOUR PRECIOUS. SPECIAL NAME. Thank you my KOBRA FAMILY,I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. . . MAY GOD BLESS EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU. . . . . ! (Leona,Ona, Dadiji,Mom, Big Mama) :-) XX XX XX X.

BELIEVE when others DOUBT. PLAN while others are PLAYING. Make a DECISION while others DELAY & SLACKEN. PREPARE yourself & GET READY while others DAYDREAM. START IMMEDIATELY while others POSTPONE & PUT OFF what has to be done. WORK while others WAIT for BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES. SAVE while others WASTE. LISTEN while others TALK. SMILE instead of having a FROWN of DISGUST on your face. PERSIST when others GIVE UP. REMEMBER: a) YOU HAVE TO START. b) PUT IN YOUR FULL ABILITY. c) NEVER GIVE UP. In the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, a British athlete, DEREK REDMOND, took part in the 400m race, when he TORE A THIGH - MUSCLE & fell, while the other athletes ran & passed him, DEREK slowly tried to get up. His father,with a face full of tears, ran to his son from the pavilion to help his son. Slowly & painful, they struggled on, on the racing course until they CROSSED the FINISH LINE. . . The crowd in Barcelona's stadium all got up giving DEREK a THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE, cheering for DEREK REDMOND

Parents who grew up "the hard way" usually try to make things as easy as possible for their children, hereby DENYING them the discipline of STRUGGLE and SELF-ESTABLISHMENT that worked so well in their own cases. Such parents remind me of the KINDHEARTED amateur who raised BUTTERFLIES as a hobby. He was so TOUCHED by the difficulties the Butterflies had in EMERGING from the COCOON that once, out of MISTAKEN KINDNESS, he split a cocoon so that the tiny inmate could escape WITHOUT a STRUGGLE. What he did not know was, that by the struggle to get out of the cocoon, the BUTTERFLY strengthened it's wings to be able to FLY. With tears in his eyes, he noticed that the Butterfly he helped to escape WAS NEVER ABLE TO USE IT'S WINGS. . . . It COULD NOT FLY. . . .!
