my aunt sent this to me, although i'm not quiet a reader, This is worth reading =)
When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said.
'Baby, I love burned toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone! You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.'
What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Burnt toast should never be a deal breaker. We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!"
People will always forget what you do,
what you say,
but they will never, ever forget
the way you make them feel =)
Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - but into your own.
after reading this, or any things which inspired me.. i always make promise to myself like, i will try to control my temper especially to my family and friends no matter how annoying they are (esp my jakuns? -.-) ,leave the bad keep the good. But sad to say, those lessons i learnt gradually fade away end up broke my own promise, lied to myself and went back to where i just started. Guess i'm not well discipline
sometimes we learnt countless lesson to guide us through, we know what is right is wrong but somehow we forgot to apply them in real life. Is like answering those grammar test effortlessly even with our eye close. but when comes to writing, grammar errors everywhere we create without realize until we double check them.
santa, am i in your naughty list?
