村子裡住著一個雙眼全瞎的老頭子。 每到晚上，總看著他提著一個明亮的燈籠外出，每個人看到眼裡，都十分不解。
終於有一天，小李子忍不住上前去問他： 『老爺爺，你眼睛又看不見，為什麼還要提著燈走路呢？』
老頭聽了，這才慢條斯理地回答說： 『我提燈當然不是為了我自己照路的，而是為了給別人照亮用的
這樣別人能看見我，不但幫助了別人，也保護了我自己』

My daughter one day asked me before she went to bed,
"Daddy, Do you know why I always remember bad things, bad experiences instead of good things? I just can not help it."

Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

    "If there is no wind, row."
                       ~ Latin Proverb

The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour
