看父母就是看自己的未來 *from HL Lim
如果你在一個平凡的家庭長大
如果你的父母還健在
不管你有沒有和他們同住
如果有一天,你發現媽媽的廚房不再像以前那麼乾淨
如果有一天,你發現家中的碗筷好像沒洗乾淨
如果有一天,你發現母親的鍋子不再雪亮
如果有一天,你發現父親的花草樹木已漸荒廢
如果有一天,你發現家中的地板衣櫃經常沾滿灰塵
如果有一天,你發現母親煮的菜太鹹太難吃
如果有一天,你發現父母經常忘記關瓦斯
如果有一天,你發現老父老母的一些習慣不再是習慣時,
果有一天,你發現父母不再愛吃青脆的蔬果
如果有一天,你發現父母愛吃煮得爛爛的菜
如果有一天,你發現父母喜歡吃稀飯
如果有一天,你發現他們過馬路行動反應都慢了
如果有一天,你發現在吃飯時間他們老是咳個不停
千萬別誤以為他們感冒或著涼,(那是吞嚥神經老化的現象)
如果有一天,你發覺他們不再愛出門 …
如果有這麼一天
我要告訴你,你要警覺父母真的已經老了
器官已經退化到需要別人照料了
如果你不能照料,請你替他們找人照料
並請你請你千萬千萬要常常探望
不要讓他們覺得被遺棄了
每個人都會老
父母比我們先老
我們要用角色互換的心情去照料他
才會有耐心、才不會有怨言
當父母不能料理自己的時候,為人子女要警覺,
他們可能會大小便失禁、可能會很多事都做不好,
如果房間有異味,可能他們自己也聞不到,
請不要嫌他髒或嫌他臭,為人子女的只能幫他清理,
並請維持他們的『自尊心』。
當他們不再愛洗澡時,
請抽空定期幫他們洗身體,
因為縱使他們自己洗也可能洗不乾淨。
當我們在享受食物的時候,
請替他們準備一份大小適當、容易咀嚼的一小碗,
因為他們不愛吃可能是牙齒咬不動了。
從我們出生開始,
餵奶換尿布、生病的不眠不休照料、
教我們生活基本能力、供給讀書、吃喝玩樂和補習,
關心和行動永遠都不停歇。
如果有一天,
他們真的動不了了,
角色互換不也是應該的嗎?
為人子女者要切記,
看父母就是看自己的未來,
孝順要及時。
如果有一天,
你像他們一樣老時,你希望怎麼過?
現在的你,
是在當單身寄生蟲、還是已婚雙料或多料寄生蟲?
你留意過自己的父母嗎?
樹欲靜而風不止、子欲養而親不在
您的父母還有多少時間等您?

与 你 分 享 *from HL Lim
你会如何决择呢??
你开着一辆车。
在一个暴风雨的晚上。
你经过一个车站。
有三个人正在焦急的等公共汽车。
一个是快要临死的老人,他需要马上去医院。
一个是医生,他曾救过你的命,你做梦都想报答他。
还有一个女人/男人,她/他是你做梦都想嫁/娶的人,也许错过就
但你的车只能在坐下一个人,你会如何选择?
我不知道这是不是一个对你性格的测试, 因为每一个回答都有他自己的原因。
老人快要死了,你首先应该先救他。
你也想让那个医生上车,因为他救过你,这是个好机会报答他。
还有就是你的梦中情人。错过了这个机会。你可能永远不能遇到一个
你这么心动的人了。
在200个应征者中,只有一个人被雇佣了,他并没有解释他的理由
'给医生车钥匙,让他带着老人去医院,而我则留下来陪我的梦中情
每个人都认为以上的回答是最好的,但没有一个人一开始就想到。
小哲理:
是否是因为我们从未想过要放弃我们手中已经拥有的优势(车钥匙)

【和尚与屠夫】
从前有一个和尚跟一个屠夫是好朋友。和尚天天早上要起来念经,
多年以后,和尚与屠夫相继去世了。屠夫去上天堂了,而和尚却下地
Why?
因为屠夫天天作善事,叫和尚起来念经,相反地,
小哲理:
你所认为的事情以及你所做的东西你一直认为是对的,但有时后却不

【皮鞋的来历】
很久很久以前,人类都还赤着双脚走路。
有一位国王到某个偏远的乡间旅行,因为路面崎岖不平,有很多碎石
但即使杀尽国内所有的牛,也筹措不到足够的皮革,而所花费的金钱
一位聪明的仆人大胆向国王提出建言:「国王啊!为什么您要劳师动
小哲理:
想改变世界,很难;要改变自己,则较为容易。
与其改变全世界,不如先改变自己--「将自己的双脚包起来」。
改变自己的某些观念和作法,以抵御外来的侵袭。
当自己改变后,眼中的世界自然也就跟着改变了。
如果你希望看到世界改变,那么第一个必须改变的就是自己!!
不要时常埋怨,不要时常感到不满,不要时常有很多怨恨,不要时常

3 great stories *by HL LIM
>
> A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about
> things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle family
> left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey
> they found a place ideal for them at last!
>
> For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and
> completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A
> picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy
> discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home.
> Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined,
> cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one
> would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.
>
> Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years...six
> years... then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no
> longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to
> unwrap a sandwich.
> At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting,
> 'See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt.'
>
> [Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We
> are so concerned about what others are doing that we don't do anything ourselves.]

>
> The Frogs
>
> A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a
> million frog legs. The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he
> could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied, 'There is a pond near my house
> that is full of frogs - millions of them. They all croak all night long and they
> are about to make me crazy!' So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an
> agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a
> time for the next several weeks.
>
> The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish,
> with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said, 'Well... where are all
> the frogs?' The farmer said, 'I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in
> the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise!'
>
> [ Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it's
> probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem
> bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about things
> which seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty
> good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll wonder what
> all the fuss was about.]
> ************ ********* ********* ********* *****

> The Pretty Lady
>
> Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were traveling together. They came
> to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across
> the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and
> couldn't cross the river. The big monk offered to carry her across the river on
> his back. The lady accepted. The little monk was shocked by the move of the big
> monk. 'How can big brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy
> with females?' thought the little monk. But he kept quiet. The big monk carried
> the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed
> the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her.
> All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act
> of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of acussations about big monk in his
> head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk
> had no inclination to explain his situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours
> later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the
> big monk. 'How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first
> opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your
> teachings to me make you a big hypocrite The big monk looked surprised and said,
> 'I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are
> still carrying her along?'
> [This very old Chinese Zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. We
> encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us
> angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sometimes they cause us to be
> bitter or jealous .. But like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go
> away. We keep on carrying the baggage of the 'pretty lady' with us. We let them
> keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot
> of agony.Why? Simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of the
> baggage of the 'pretty lady'. We should let go of the pretty lady immediately
> after crossing the river, that is after the unpleasant event is over. This will
> immediately remove all our agonies. There is no need to be further hurt by the
> unpleasant event after it is over.]
