here r some inspiratin quotes which I ve picked ..courtesy of my dearest cousin, SL..
cos copied fr her blog ah. Thks, ger ;)
To relate 2 ze FOC crash course, there will be a small msg after each quote 4 u 2 ponder over..
So here i go..Happy reading..
We sometimes feel that what we do is just a drop in the ocean,
but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
-Mother Teresa.
No matter how comfortable u r being in ur comfort zone, at ze end of ze day.. wat i got 2 say is tat..
u can make a difference in others' lives as well as getting out of ur turtle shell..2 embrace the world with love n a more up close & personal way tat..I am sure tat as time passes by, overcoming ur greatest barrier issnt tat tough.. It's all in ze mind..Mind over body ah..sounds familiar rite hehe..anyway, jiayou! I ve faith in U..take time n patience but dun worry.. i'll b ard 2 guide n help u if necessary provided i free ah..
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile,
nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
tis quote just simply struck a chord in me when i came upon it.. Just a descriptn tat sum up our frenzship & how it begins.. All in all, the take home msg is tat mutual trust is vital 4 all relationships 2 work be it b/w frenzs, couples, siblings, parent n child etc.. It is just like the indispersable commodity of our life, Time.. Once lost, things will never b the same again & more efforts' needed 2 make up for the loss
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just as impt as mutual trust b/w 2 or more pple, self-trust is another impt aspect of our lives..
Tis 's a much more tricky one as it involves overcoming urself..u being ur own greatest enemy..plus fears..
Even i myself can't say tat i have much self-trust in myself too, but at least i can say tat i am working on & i 've improved over the years..Ultimately, confidence ..the fruit of self-trust..can be enjoyed upon the accomplishment over time..
We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
We shall never know all the good tat a simple smile can do.
-Anonymous quotes
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart."
-Helen Keller
Every little thing counts..just like a simple smile can brighten up someone's day..Quoting from a poster i ve b4,..Smile & the world will smile with u..So take small step at a time 2 overcome ur fears and embrace love into your life..n the human touch.. But before u can proceed further..1st n foremost, u got 2 learn 2 respect, love n embrace ur true self..& most imptly, listen to the voice within.. it has been there with u for as long as u live on planet Earth.. just tat u never tap on its immense potential, gathered over ur years of experiences..
Give it a try & life will be different..i promise..provided u try 2 ah..ultimately, i can only do so much, should ur determination wane over time n your flame of hope & faith weaken, u need 2 self-empower on ur own ah.. as i can only b guiding how 2 get there and tat's ze max i can do 4 u..the rest of journey is yours 2 complete..cos tat's ur mind..somewhere i can never really reach...unless i'm a parasite living in u..hehe.. to sum up..u noe.. tis common proverb,..teach a man 2 fish...blah blah..u noe tis, i am sure..oops..i tink too late..me getting sleepy liao, can't recall the whole phrase ah.. Ultimately, it's ur choice 2 make for it's ur life tat u decide how u want 2 lead..ur journey of life..alone or w someone..
If u want sth else 2 read, can borrow tis inspiring bk from me..Tues w Morrie...By Mitch Albom
2 read abt the 6th n 9th tues chapters ah..But then..i doubt so ah.cos my intuition tells me tat u may ve read it b4 liao.but of course.. u can always read it again tis time with a diff perspective..tis time 2 learn 2 apply then a usual novel reading..
I shall end here with my 2 other fav quotes:
Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself
& know tat everything in this life has a purpose.
There are no mistakes, no coincidences. ( By chance? i suppose..my own interpretatn ah..not part of quote)
All events are blessing given to us to learn from
- Elizabeth Kubler Ross
Little drops of Water,
Little grains of Sand,
Make the mighty Ocean
& the pleasant Land
So the Little Minutes,
Humble thou they be,
Make the mighty ages of Eternity
- Julia Carney "Little Things"

It sounds like you're creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
U-noe-who was my bf then and the purpose of this post was to encourage him to embrace our relationship with courage and not fear. How time flies..It is interesting to be reading this post 5 years later since I have resumed strictly platonic friendship w this ex..Ironically, I have learnt over the years since that painful breakup that I need to appreciate n love myself more than anyone else in the world. I live to be happy and not for anyone else..not even for whoever Prince Charming of my life if he ever exist and will enter my life. :) Happy Yuan Xiao Jie, Annonymous!
