Talk quieter just to see who is still listening. Walk away just to see who will follow. Fight just to see who is still standing at your side. Cry just to see who will help. Screw up just to see who is willing to fix it. Write just to see who will read what you have to say. Hide just to see who will look. Let go just to see who will go and hunt for you. Be always who you are just to see who is still there in the end.
Sometimes I exist just to see if you will exist with me.
Sometimes I exist just to see if you will exist with me.

How does a person guard his heart? The formula is very simple only if you practice it. Guard your eyes from watching bad things; Guard your ears from hearing evil; Guard your tongue from speaking ill about others and using unnecessary words; Guard your hands from doing harm to others; Guard your feet from going to wrong and unwanted places. If you follow these principles, guarding your heart becomes very simple.

Good family, satisfying job, beautiful children, generational assets, good food, shelter, sleep; You may think that all these benefits are gained through your hard-work. But the truth is, apart from your hard-work, all these are the blessings and gifts from God to you for your righteousness. Our God blesses everyone equally and does not change His words of blessing and promises to you.

Choose your friends very carefully because you may acquire their characteristics. If you lack self control, do not choose a friend who has bad habits and bad characters. He will make you fall into the same sinful pitfall. But, if you have self command, then you can take it as a challenge, to make that bad friend acquire your good characteristics and change him as your best friend.

EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER!!!
1. The story began when I was a child - I was born as a son of a poor family. Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son. I'm not hungry". That was Mother's First Lie.
2. When I was getting to grow up - The persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said "Eat this fish, son. I don't really like fish". That was Mother's Second Lie.
3. Then, when I was in Junior High School - To fund my study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of sticking some used-matches box. I said, "Mother, go to sleep, it's late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work. " Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired." That was Mother's Third Lie.
4. At the time of final term - Mother asked for a leave from her work in order to accompany me. While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine, the strong and persevering mother waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine for several hours. As the bell rang, which indicated that the final exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold bottle. The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son. I'm not thirsty!". That was Mother's Fourth Lie.
5. After the death of my father because of illness - My poor mother had to play her role as a single parent. By held on her former job, she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. No days without sufferance. Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse, there was a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us, either in a big problem and a small problem. Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice, she said "I don't need love". That was Mother's Fifth Lie.
6. After I had finished my study and then got a job - It was the time for my old mother to retire. But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning, just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs. I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money. She even sent the money back to me. She said "I have enough money". That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
7. After graduated from Bachelor Degree - I then continued my study to Master Degree. I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a famous University in America. I finally worked in the company. Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America. But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son, she said to me "I'm not used to". That was Mother's Seventh Lie.
8. After entering her old age - Mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation. Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on her face; even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out. It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body, thus she looked so weak and thin. I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition. But mother, with her strength, said "Don't cry, my dear. I'm not in pain". That was Mother's Eight Lie.

A small prayer with real faith can do wonders, than a long hour prayer without faith. A small prayer like giving thanks for the food you eat, giving thanks for the new day, giving thanks for the friends you have. Your body might say do not pray but your soul will be thankful to God for his works in your life. Overcome this temptation.

There are moments in your life that make you and sets the course of who you are going to be. Sometimes they are little, subtle moments. Sometimes, they are big moments you never saw coming. No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It is what you do afterwards that counts. That is when you find out who you are.

Stay Away from Negative People
If you have negative people in your life that are critically affecting your mental and physical health, you need to evaluate whether or not you want these people in your life. Some people are so chronically negative that you have no other choice but to remove them from your life. It is possible to do that with friends. You can find another job if your boss or other co-workers are bringing you down. Other people, such as children and spouses, are difficult to remove from your life. In this instance, professional counseling may be the answer. To protect your well being, you need to enforce very strong boundaries with negative people.
