Rainbow Colors

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.

All claimed that they were the best. The most important, the most useful, the most beautiful and the favorite.

Green said:

"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope."

Blue interrupted:

"Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

Yellow chuckled:

"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world."

Orange started next to blow her trumpet:

"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life."

Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:

"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood!I am the color of danger and of bravery."

Purple rose up to his full height:

"I am the color of royalty and power."

Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others. But with just as much determination:

"Think of me. I am the color of silence.

You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial."

In the midst of the clamor, the Rain began to speak:
"You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky. In a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow."

And so, whenever a good rain-washes the world and a Rainbow appears in the sky, is to let us remember to appreciate one another.

A Faithful Lizard

This is a true story in Japan.

One day, a house in Japan need to be renovated and someone tear open the wall. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stucked there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

Inspiring Story: A Box Full of Kisses

One day, there was a 3-year-old girl who used a gold wrapping paper and her father was very angry of that until he punished her. The little girl tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, she brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. 

Don't stop loving your family, no matter how they are. 
Because they really love you actually.

Your Attitude, Your Life, Your Decision.

Here, I want to share the story that I have read, enjoy :)

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in America. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.  One day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life."

"But it's not always that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Jerry said "Life is all about choices. 

Several years later, Jerry had an accident. The left the back door of his restaurant open one morning and was robbed by three armed men. The robbers shot him.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital. I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. I chose to live."
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me. I was going to be fine. 

"What did you do then?" I asked.

"I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. 

Our attitude is our own decision.. 

No one can take control of our decision, and if we choose the good one, our life will be lots easier. 

We can choose whether we want to be a good person or bad person, whether we want to think positive or negative, and even whether we want to live or not.
