Responsibility

responsible is originated from the word respond.
Responsibility is a state of being responsible.

When you say some one is responsible, it shows that the person is able to respond.

Irresponsible person is not able to respond.
A dead body are not able to respond.
Thus, an irresponsible person is a dead body.

Simple logic.

I am not able to respond to your question.
I am dead.

If it is that simple...

A is for Angel

Madam A is one of my father's colleague.
I can describe her as very friendly, talkative, caring and sincere.
Last 2 weeks, we went to visit her.
She had a surgery. A successful one.
She is in recovery and staying at her home in Seremban.
Her hospitality is very good.
I would say it is very rare for me to meet people like her.
She is very detail and conscious when it comes to serving her guest.
We arrive at her house late in the evening.
Even though my father decline for a long stay, she made us have coffee with her.
What touch my heart is, how she treat her maid.
Her maid is not very clever.
But, she is very patience with her.
The goal is to make her learn how to do things.
You would not have that much patience when dealings with the maid.
She can hardly do anything right.
But Madam A is.

I see an angel that day.

Push! or Pull?

sometimes we need that push.
If not push, we might need the pull.
Push someone who is in static position so he can start moving action.
Pull someone who is totally helpless and already down.
Spread our love among our brothers, care for each other.
why do we need to be successful alone when we can be successful together?

Looking at the mirror on the other side

have you ever looked at the mirror, from the other side?

usually, we look at the mirror and see ourself. we see how we look like. but, if we see the mirror from the other side, we can see the condition of the mirror.

mirror represent the people around us. the people around us will tell us how we look like. "you look handsome today" "nice dress" "where did you get your hair done?" "you are beautiful" "you look fat"

we only think about ourself.
have you ever cared if the mirror is dusty on its backside?
have you ever cared if the mirror is lying to you?
have you ever cared how you are being manipulated by the mirror?

Give and Take

nowadays, i see we tend to take rather than giving.
most of the time, we always ask, "what i get back in return".
my point is, why can't we do something without asking something for return?
we keep on taking but how much we have given?
if all of us are taking, who is going to give?
in the end, we end up taking what is not ours and do illegal things.

we must remember, sincerity is the key to happiness.

being sincere does not mean you get nothing back at all. being sincere mean your willingness to help without asking why should i help. once you make a good deed, there is a happiness, a good feeling that reliefs your self. this show how our innerself likes to help and giving.

taking others people rights wont make us feel happy. our innerself always feels the guilt and not happy. in the end, we put ourself into a very stressful situation that will eventually bring us down...

we need to prior ourself into giving as long as we are able to.

A sailor story

recently i met a friends, who is about to be a marine engineer. he is still studying, but already sailing around malaysia.

one of his story that interest me is about his experiences when he is newly admitted to the academy. one of his job is to check the engine room. once, his supervisor told him to enter the engine room, and look for 4 colored wires and tell him what colors they are. unfortunately, when he enters the room, all he can see are black wires. he went outside to meet his supervisor.

"what colors are they?"
"black, sir"
"are you stupid?" and a punch strike his stomach.
"go back in there!"

while containing his pain, he reenters the room and checked the wires again. now he realize that the wires are coverd with dust and dirt that makes it look black. after wiping the wires, he can see the color of the wires.

and he has learned a hard lesson.
