The Right Stuff : Life's Adventure

I am passionate about history, cultures and achievements of man. Taking into accounts who and what we are - the tasks of accomplishing something is next to impossible. Yet, around us we see what mankind can do when they put their minds together. Allow me to share The seven wonders list celebrates monumental engineering and construction feats of the 20th century. Let me share to you: 1. Empire State building: finished in 1931, and towers 1,250 feet over New York City - the tallest building in the world for 41 years. 2.

"Leaders are like eagles, they don't flock. You find them one at a time... I do love stories and allow me to share a wonderful story about an unexpected leader, this wonderful story was related by a famous speaker and author Barbara Glanz: A few years ago, she spoke from a supermarket chain. About three weeks later, she got a phone call from a person who said his name was Johnny and that he was a bagger in the store. He also told her that he had a Down Syndrome. Johnny then told Barbara how much he liked what she said about serving customer. That night, he and his father, had set up a document on the computer where every night he would type a thought for the day that he found. He then printed them, cut them out, and signed his name at the back of each slip of paper. The next day as he bagged groceries, he tucked the encouraging thought into each person's grocery bag.

What is beauty? Images of beauty are plastered all around us: billboards, advertisements, in movies, magazines, on television, and on the internet. In ancient times, men loved healthy and vigorous women, because they can have children through them. Women like strong, muscular and healthy male specie that would be able to hunt for food and protect the family. Among the Olmec Indians of Mesoamerica, women liked men with broad nostrils, thick lips and full cheek. But for the ancient Egyptians, their ideals of beauty is similar to our modern Western culture – slim body, muscles an d broad shoulders for men; small waists, flat stomachs, and long thick hair for women. And in sixteenth century England, an ideal woman had snow white skin, red cheeks and lips. Women during those days applied a very white makeup to their faces and necks. But sad to say, women also did not take a bath very often! In Myanmar, a beautiful woman is one with a very long neck. So as early as five or six yea

But the world maybe different because you were important in the life of a child. Do you want to see in your lifetime a better place to live, a better people? Think about this: "There's a wide-eyed little boy who believes you're always right, and his eyes are always open while he watches day and night. You are a setting example. Everyday in all you do, For the little boy who's waiting To grow up and be like you. What you teaches to a small child today will affect what they will be in the future. Never ever forget: To the world, you may be just one person...but to one person you might be the world."

This morning i woke up earlier than usual, i take a peek at my kids and they're still sleeping soundly. I stretched myself, make up room and set on a corner thinking about my upcoming activities for the day. Outside the window, i can hear the morning birds' various symphony - the world's starting to wake up. What a cool, beautiful and joyful morning! It's another day! A new lease of life, another journey and what more - new opportunities to do, break new grounds and to reach new heights! To simplify and to beautify! To seek and to find! To create and to innovate! To see and to believe! Another mountain perhaps, for us to climb, or a new road to pass by - and discover what lies beyond.... Today i was reminded of a great hymn written by Thomas Obediah Chisholm's that expressess God's faithfulness to us: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." This inspired words are drawn directly from the Scriptures that provides the thoughts that we now sing: Because of the LO
