INEVITABLE

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

Life is inevitable as well as love. When you say inevitable, it means unavoidable. When I was born, I know that it was a gift of God so that i love my life and those pople around me. Life is so short. We need to live our lives to the fullest. Wag mong takasan ang mga problemang dumadating sayo, because problems are given for us to be strong and prepare us in facing the harder one. Life cannot exist without love, for me that's what life is. I love my family and they are the most important treasure I ever had and the reason why I'm still here striving for success. Another part of my life is my special someone. When I encountered love along the way…chaka!!! I was shock. You really cannot avoid it. Sa una masaya, nakakakilig at nakakainspired tapos bigla na lang…: “Love is an inspiration and destruction”. It depends upon the person handling the relationship. As for now, I'm happy and contented kung ano ang meron ako at kung ano ang nangyayari sa buhay ko. INEVITABLE man sila, they are welcome and accepted basta alam mo lang kung pano sila ihandle...
"Love is rare ; Life is strange ;Nothing lasts ; and people change"
"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead"

A Teacher's Story

There is a story many years ago of an elementary
teacher.Her name was Mrs. Thompson.And as she stood in front of her 5th grade
class on the very first day of school, she toldthe children a lie. Like most
teachers, she looked at herstudents and said that she loved them all the same.
But thatwas impossible, because there in the front row, slumped inhis seat, was
a little boy named Teddy.
Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and
noticedthat he didn't play well with the other children, that hisclothes were
messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got
to the point whereMrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking hispapers
with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then puttinga big "F" at the top of
his papers.At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review
each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she
reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.Teddy's first grade teacher wrote,
"Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has
goodmanners...he is a joy to be around."His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy
is an excellent student, well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubledbecause
his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."His third
grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do
his best but his father doesn'tshow much interest and his home life will soon
affect him if some steps aren't taken."Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote,"Teddy
is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.He doesn't have many
friends and sometimes sleeps in class."By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the
problem and she wasashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her
studentsbrought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbonsand bright
paper, except for Teddy's.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown
paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the
middleof the other presents. Some of the children started tolaugh when she found
a rhinestone bracelet with some of thestones missing and a bottle that was one
quarter full of perfume.She stifled the children's laughter when she
exclaimedhow pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing someof the
perfume on her wrist.Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say,
"Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to."After the children
left she cried for at least an hour.On that very day, she quit teachingreading,
and writing, and arithmetic.Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs.
Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind
seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By
the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the the
class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children same, Teddy
became one of her "teacher's pets."A year later, she found a note under her
door, from Teddy,telling her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in
his whole life.
Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy.He
then wrote that he had finished high school, second in his class, and she was
still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.Four years after that, she
got another letter, saying that whilethings had been tough at times, he'd stayed
in school,had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the
highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and
favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life.
Then four more years passed
and yet another letter came.This time he explained that after he got his
bachelor's degree,he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that
she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But nowhis name was a
little longer. The letter was signed,Theodore F. Stollard, M.D.The story doesn't
end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he'd
met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father had died
a coupleof years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson mightagree to sit in
the place at the wedding that was usuallyreserved for the mother of the groom.
Of course, Mrs. Thompson, did. And guess what?She wore that bracelet, the one
with several rhinestones missing. And she made sure she was wearing the
perfumethat Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their lastChristmas together.
They hugged each other,and Teddy whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear,"Thank you,
Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me.Thank you so much for making me feel
importantand showing me that I could makea difference."Mrs. Thompson, with tears
in her eyes, whispered back.She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong.You were the
one who taught me that I could make a difference.I didn't know how to teach
until I met you."

QUOTATIONS ABOUT LIFE

force.”
- Tom Blandi

are so many things we are capable of, that we could be or do".

"The possibilities are so great that we never, any of us, are more than one-fourth fulfilled”.

-Katherine Anne Porter

“Our greatest happiness does not depend on the
condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.”

A Hug

It's wondrous what a hug can do,A hug can cheer you when you're
blue.A hug can say, 'I love you so'Or, 'I hate to see you go.' A hug is,
'Welcome back again!'And 'Great to see you!' or'Where've you been?'
A hug can
sooth a child's pain,And bring a rainbow after rain.The hug! There's just no
doubt about it,We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms
and charms.It must be why we have arms.Hugs are great for fathers and
mothers,Sweet for sisters, even for brothers. And chances are, some favorite
auntsLove them more than potted plants.Kittens crave them, Puppies love
them,Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,And
make the dullest day seem merrier.No need to fret about the store of 'em:The
more you give,The more there are of 'em.So stretch those arms without delayAnd
give someone a hug today.
