Happy Family


In a family, if one person is unhappy, then so is the entire family. Therefore, I would like you to sincerely pray for and protect one another so that there are no people who are unfortunate and unhappy, or who abandon their faith, and that every person will become happy. These are the kinds of humanistic bonds among fellow members that give birth to true unity. Coercion or force stemming from power and authority is ineffective at critical moments.

Malaysian English VS Briton's

The English did invent the English Language, but they cannot use it economically when communicating their intentions. Compare some phrases that Malaysians and Britons use to say the same thing:

So, why make things so confusing and waste of money when you are on a long distance call. Make it snappy.


WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS

Britons: I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.

Malaysians: No Stock.


RETURNING A CALL

Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone page for me! a few moments ago?

Malaysians: Hallo, who page?


ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY.

Britons: Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way?

Malaysians: S-kews


WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY

Britons: Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me.

Malaysians: No-need, lah.


WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION

Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?

Malaysians: (while pointing at door) Can or not?


WHEN ENTERTAINING

Britons: Please make yourself right at home.

Malaysians: Don't be shy, lah!


WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE

Britons: I do not recall you giving me the money.

Malaysians: Where got?


WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER

Britons: I would prefer not to do that, if you do not mind.

Malaysians: Doe-waaaan!


IN DISAGREEING ON A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION

Britons: Err. Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you are coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the issue.

Malaysians: You mad, ah?



WHEN ASK SOMEONE TO LOWER HIS OR HER VOICE.

Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice, I am trying to concentrate over here.

Malaysians: Shaddap lah!


WHEN ASKING SOMEONE IF HE/SHE KNOWS YOU.

Britons: Excuse me but I noticed you staring at me for some time. Do I know you?

Malaysians: See what, see what?


WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.


Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment.

Malaysians: Die-lah!!

Hope

The Four Candles

The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their Ambiance was so soft you
could hear them speak...


The first candle said, "I Am Peace,
but these days, nobody wants to
keep me lit."

Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes
and goes out completely.


The second candle says, "I Am Faith,
but these days, I am no longer
indispensable."

Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes
and goes out completely.


Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am
Love and I haven't the strength to
stay lit any longer."
"People put me aside and don't
understand my importance. They
even forget to love those who are
nearest to them."

And waiting no longer,
Love goes out completely.


Suddenly...
A child enters the room and sees the
three candles no longer burning. The
child begins to cry, "Why are you
not burning? You are supposed
to stay lit until the end."


Then the Fourth Candle spoke
gently to the little boy, "Don't be
afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I
still burn, we can re-light the other
candles."



With Shining eyes the child took the
Candle of Hope and lit the other
three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.


With Hope, no matter how bad things
look and are...Peace, Faith and Love
can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Strong and Weak

The great educator Almafuerte (1854- 1917) wrote: "To the weak, difficulty is a closed door. To the strong, however, it is a door waiting to be opened." Difficulties impede the progress of those who are weak. For the strong, however, they are opportunities to open wide the doors to a bright future. Everything is determined by our attitude, by our resolve. Our heart is what matters most.

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement


Life is full of unexpected suffering. Even so, as Eleanor Roosevelt says: "If you can live through that [a difficult situation] you can live through anything. You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along./' That's exactly right. Struggling against great difficulty enables us to develop ourselves tremendously. We can call forth and manifest those abilities lying dormant within us. Difficulty can be a source of dynamic new growth and positive progress. (October 6, 1995).
