600 hp Speed Boat

The speed boat move with three engines and each of them supported 200 hp (horse power). Let’s makes it simpler. I wasn’t an expert mechanic too. 200 hp x 3 engines = 600 hp. That mean, there are 600 horses pull this boat. Can you imagine??

Now, guess what am I pointing at?
See the picture below ...



My Island

I am pointing at "Susanno" island. Can you imagine there is a "yourname" island and it shown on a globe. That is my wildest dream.




Beauty of Nature

In this journey, I learned that the face of nature is our life reflection. There should be a wonderful sunshine after the rain storm. Even it added with an awesome rainbow as bonus. It used to be the same to this life. No matter how hard is the struggle, there should be a sweet life after that. Believe and keep the faith. Life is impressive; life is beautiful let's fulfilled it.





# Another Coffee Break

After learning about "complaining", maybe we should take a break with a cup of coffee. So what should we do in this coffee time? Let’s play a little fun game. We play one of the most famous children game called “Hide & seek”. Make yourself relax. Drink your coffee if it’s already served. Here is the game.

Let us find “The Hidden Tiger” from the picture below. As the story told, the tiger shown on the picture is male, so he needs to find the hidden female one. Have a nice coffee break.



So you give up???

# The Truth about Complaining

Complaining … How do people learn to complain something? Why people always did this? We use to complain our job, friends, family, spouse even children. In fact we always complain this life. I’m not the good one to teach this thing and as an ordinary people, I’m not as good as what I write.


I did this post to slap my own face because I’m one of the billion people who like to complain too. I still learn to handle this thing. Complain is the opposite of grateful. When thing isn't going in our way or when we unsatisfied we started to complain it. In my last post, I’ve learned that “Life isn’t always fair” and "Everything happen for a reason.". Hoping considered these points at least make me realize if I started to complain.

In this post I like to share a lovely poem which I got from one of my friend. For me, great poems and quotes always inspire me to be the best. Here is the lovely and inspiring poem. Hope this could be a value to everyone.


# Life is a Gift #


Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to the grave.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

# Blessing in Disguise

Once in a kingdom, there lived a king whose passion was hunting. One day accompanied by his soldiers and trusted companions he went to the woods for a hunt. And carelessly, due to an accident, his own sharp knife cut off his little finger. The king was terribly upset and asked upon one of his counselors. He cheered him up but still the king was very much sad.

Not knowing what else to say, the counselor finally said, “Your Highness, Whatever happened, you need to be thankful.”

Upon hearing such a comment, the king was in rage. “What a comment! I had an accident, and instead of counseling, he asked me to be thankful!” And thus he sentenced the counselor into a three-year jail.

Days passed by. The loss of his little finger didn’t prevent the king from doing his hunting passions. One day, the king with his new appointed counselor, and a crowd of soldiers went for another hunting. Unexpectedly, while he was in the middle of the forest, the king and the counselor were separated from the rest of the group. Suddenly a clan of barbaric tribe caught them. Both of them were caught, and brought along to be sacrificed to the tribe’s Gods.

Before the ceremony began, both the king and the counselor were bathed. And when it was the turn for the king, they noticed that one of his small fingers was cut off. And due to this ‘invalid’ body, the king wasn’t qualified to become the ‘gift’ for their Gods. Finally, they just dumped him and released by the primitive people. And instead, the new counselor was offered to the Gods.

With a great effort, the king finally found his way back home. As soon as he arrived there, he straightaway ordered his old counselor to be released at once.

“My Counselor, I am very thankful to you. Your advice has been proven right all along. Because of my cut-off little finger, I can safely be back today...” And then he retold the whole incident.

After hearing the king’s story, with such a rush the counselor bowed down and said, Thank you Your Majesty. I am also very thankful that you have put me in jail unless it might have been me to be sacrificed to the Gods.”

The story above teaches us such a basic simple value, the power of gratitude upon receiving whatever comes our ways; when we are at a condition of progress and success we need to be thankful as well as at the lowest point of our spirit. In this life process, not everything works out smoothly or easily as we expect. Sometimes we are faced with life’s real challenges such as misunderstanding, failure, trickery, slander, sickness and all sorts of unavoidable misfortunes.

~Moral~

“When we succeed, we are thankful. When we fail, we are also thankful. The true happiness and wealth are in the thankful attitude itself.”

# Everyone is Number 1

This time I post a most favorite video clip from Asia and it’s done by a well known actor and singer from Hong Kong. He is also well known as one of the "Heavenly King". Yes, he is Andy Lau and this post title taken from the title of his song. He was Born on September 27, 1961 (1961-09-27) Hong Kong. His talent with acting and singing is amazing and it made him also entered into Guinness World Records for "Most Awards Won By A Canto-Pop Male Artist".

Now lets go back to this song. I’ve put the translated lyric for this song and sure I did it especially for all of my dear readers. Wishing all of us could understand and feel the meaning of this song. Thanks to Google with his useful language tool. And if other friends found something didn’t right with this translated lyric, feel free to put the correct one on the comment box. I appreciate for that so much. Now enjoy and be inspired. (Click HERE for the Original Lyric)



Everyone is Number one (English Translated)

My way is not your way
My plight is not your plight
Everyone has the potential and capacity
Achieve and to conquer everything.

My tears is not your tears
My pain is not your pain
Like the glorious sky, incessantly honor and glory
Have the same moving

No need to worry about your disability
Just needed to calm and steady so could move ahead
Told to my own self, I have to be useful

**
Everyone is No. 1
As long as you never care about can or can't
Exchange your life with one breath
No need to wait to see the future

Everyone is No. 1
Achieving success, do you in or not?
With your true burning sweat and full heart...
The first belongs to everyone

My hand is not your hand
My mouth is not your mouth
As long as being one mind,
Wind and rainstorms have become good friends

No need to worry about your disability
Just needed to calm and steady so could move ahead
Told to my own self, I have to be useful

Everyone is No. 1
As long as you never care about can or can't
Exchange your life with one breath
No need to wait to see the future

Everyone is No. 1
Achieving success, do you in or not?
With your true burning sweat and full hearted...
The first belongs to everyone

No need to afraid, however cold is the journey…
Consider there is warm furthermore... I just can...
Strive and keep running...
