"7%" Written by a 90 year old

This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio .

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short – enjoy it.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but don't worry, God never blinks.

16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19.. It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Saham akhirat

Lamanya tak update blog. Alasan yang sama dan rata-rata semua orang mempunyai alasan tersebut. SIBUK...menyibuk dan disibukkan. Hari ini meluangkan sedikit masa untuk update cerita. Cerita ke? Hurmm...yela kot. Ni nak cerita tentang D'Garage Community yang terdiri daripada beberapa orang individu membuat kerja-kerja kebajikan secara kecil-kecilan. Kenapa di panggil secara kecil-kecilan kerana ia dibuat secara part time sahaja. Sebab semuanya bekerja dan mempunyai komitmen yang tersendiri. Walau secara kecil tetapi diharap usaha ini dapat meringkan sedikit beban golongan yang memerlukan. 

Projek yang seterusnya adalah mendapatkan sumbangan aidilfitri untuk rumah orang-orang tua.  Anda semua boleh lihat gambar yang dilampirkan di sini.  Sumbangan berupa kain batik dan kain pelekat.  Setakat ini sumbangan untuk kain batik sudah mencukupi. Cuma sumbangan untuk kain pelekat masih dijalankan.  Harap-harap dapat mengumpulkan sumbangan sebelum raya ni. Moga Allah permudahkan.

Ada sesiapa yang berminat nak menyumbang? Nak buat saham akhirat?

  Thoughtful is Helpful

Assalamaualaikum.

Malam ini ada rasa kerajinan bertandang untuk mencoret sesuatu.  Kesibukan dunia ini kadang-kadang benar-benar memenatkan. Kemungkinan besar faktor umur yang semakin meningkat, maka keletihan mudah terasa.  Hehe...agak janggal untuk menulis.  Otak dah semakin membeku. Apa sekalipun kami baru balik dari Pulau Pinang.  Membawa pelajar di bawah PSS ke sana. Seronok dapat berkunjung ke Pulau Mutiara itu.  Namun yang tidak seronoknya makanan di Padang Kota benar-benar 'mencekik'.  Bayangkan makan pasembur dengan harga RM49.00.  Jadi sesiapa yang teringin makan di sana di harap berhati-hati.  Tanya dulu harganya atau jadi macam anak murid saya yang bijak kerana mereka minta pasembur dengan harga RM10.00 sahaja.
