Moody and emotional

I believe that everyone has down and low mood time, evenif we know it is bad for health and mind. But, I think it is the way to relieve, relax and loose out all bad tempers from pressure. Am I right or wrong?

Sometimes, just a irritating phone call, an annoying voice or song, a mischievious thinking or an overwhelming passion from someone you dislike really really get on my nerves. I try to calm down and control my mind, but still I loose it out simply. I think it was a naturaly responses and nothing to do with any self-esteem or personal characteristic. Do I need to change my mind again or it was just a loser? I am still figuring out and pondering it over and over.

No one want to behave it so ridiculous, foolish, irrational and absurd when we have been an adult or a mature. Still, I have to learn again again again and again from all these blunders in the process of life...

We weep and sob, because we feel touched;
We think and change, because we get understood;
We go ahead if we stumble, because we get inspired
from someone who share and stand by us.

Esprit de corps or Malaysia Boleh?

I just get a funny? or insulting? or sarcastic? forwarding email: Malaysia_Boleh.pps

After savouring this presentation, I felt ashame of myself. It would be probably I am out of the one who keep on complaining, grumbling, and showstopping. It has been happened in our life, work or social life. I can't imagine how much I have put the effort in completing a task on time with team spirit and without any procastination.

Why we (I) can't make ourselves calming down and relax the mind in order to listen and understand others' feeling before we really give our opinion and thoughts? Because we are self-centered? or self-egoness? or we just want to win in whatever circumstances. I was the one and still the one yet. So, I have been started to change my mind and do it in practically, mentally and physically. I keep on seeking advice and opinion in anything I am confused and lost from whoever in knowing it well. I know this would be a bit naive, over-reaction, or over-passionate about doing it, but I believe we are running out of time in doing and learning good thing for contributing the society, if we still stand still without proper belief and positive behavior.

Then, if we have stumbled down thoroughly and how should we raise up ourselves? we find our weakness and strength or we just find fault and blame others? The discouragement, distraction and discord will keep on overflowing in everyone minds, it is becomes a bad habit or a culture which already 'cultivated'! Goss! But the main weakness or defect is actually come from 'Communication', 'Thrust' and 'Esprit de corps'!

We don't communicate well and understandingly with others, we 'THINK' others know it?
We don't thrust others sincerely and candidly, we 'THINK' others have the same thought?
We don't work as team thoroughly, we 'THINK' others will do our part?

So, can we achieve our objective as what we have planned? maybe or probably on par.
Do everyone understand the main problem come from? The failure of the management or the Misunderstanding?

The answer: 'Communication', 'Thrust' and 'Esprit de corps'! Definitely comes with 'Rewards' when we achieve it successfully!

It is difficult to find a good friend who can help and inspire you.

I just read a Buddhist article lectured by Dharma Master Cheng Yen,
[The Buddha said:"It is difficult to find a good friend who can help and inspire you." It is difficult enough to distance yourself from gossips and bad friends, and even more so to meet a friend who can really help and inspire you.

And what is to be expected of such a friend?
It is someone who can inspire your conscience and wisdom;
It is someone who guides you and helps solve your problems;
It is someone who transports you from the dark land of the ordinary person to the bright realm of the sage.

Yet in reality, how many people like this people, who help you smooth out your worries, round off your sharp edges and remove your biases, can be found?]

Anyway, i am a free thinker, but i accept whatever religious good belief for good sake of people.

Share another thought i believed most of us have learnt it in school.
[Confucius said,"When three men walk together, one of them must be my teacher; I will choose to follow what is good and correct what is not good."
meaning: When I am in the company of two other persons, there must be someone who I can learn from, who can be my model, while thre must be someone whose mistakes will also teach me a lesson. When we see what is not good in a person, we will reflect on our own actions and warn ourselves not to be like him. We see in him actions that are offensive and temperament that is disagreeable. This person actually deserves our gratitude because they are living examples of what we should not be. On the other hand, we should emulate the virtuous person because he represents the bright side of life. He has a positive attitude that brings joy to other people and admiration unto himself. And this is the person that we should learn from.]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend to all is a friend to none.
