Life Questions

Life is busy, busy, busy. Like the windmills that go round and round for many people. It is all a predictable cycle of waking-up, going to work, return home, going to bed and then the cycle repeating itself.

Some blame it on the demands in life. As a student the studies, home-work, tuition and exams. As a working adult it's the 'rat race' of chasing after the 'cheese' and thus the famous Book 'Who Moved The Cheese'. As a married person, the demands of providing for the family, house, car and then children and their education etc.

Although we console ourselves of having taken the usual annual leave for a short hectic family holiday, thus thinking that we indeed have rested and recharged! However honestly I think very few indeed really feel rested and charged-up!

Below is something wrote by someone which I think speaks loudly to us who are busy chasing the dream of providing and having a good life for ourselves or our families. Read what it says there and ponder on it. Perhaps it can be some sort of wake-up call for many! Cheers!

Wimbledon 2009

Once again it's Wimbledon Season this time of the year. This year, I miss my super-star Rafael Nadal who pulled out of Wimbledon due to injury problems. The field is now wide open and many think that Roger Federal is going to win! My take on this year's champion is Andrew Murray, the British player who has shown such skills and he is the most improved all round Grass-Court Player.

I watched all his matches, I find Andy Murray is a very intelligent, fast and powerful tennis player who has an all round game. His most outstanding feature is his "Peripheral Vision" when he is going at the ball. Very few players demonstrate this capability, not even Roger Federal or Rafa Nadal! What I meant when I say Peripheral Vision is the capability of having one eye on the ball and the other watching his opponent and locating where he is! that is why Andy Murray have so many great passing shots etc.

As for the Ladies side, my take is again a Final between the William Sisters of the US! This time, I don't see any potential challenge from the rest of the female players! Personally, I think Serena is the stronger player than Venus but on Grass, Venus has the advantage of being lithe and quick. No matter what this year Wimbledon Finals will be another epic match like last year between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federal!

Unique Life Story Of True Grit

This story was relayed to me by a good friend and is about Hon Yan, a little Chinese girl living somewhere in rural China. At a very young age she lost both her legs in an accident but she survived. Without her legs, Hon Yan learned to moved around with her hands and her parents used a deflated basketball for her base so that she could sit on it upright like she's standing! Hon yan goes to school as other kids do but I guess the people around her accepts her for who she is rather than treat her as abnormal

This brave little girl goes about her life just like any normal kid plus she is known to be always smiling!.I admire the courage of this little girl that despite her being handicapped continue her life with a smile instead of bitterness and withdrawn!

Eventually, she managed to get herself a pair of artificial legs and she is learning to walk again! I just want to share this encouraging story so that for those who were in less fortunate circumstances can learn the courage and determination of Hon Yan to continue to lead life with a purpose instead of wallowing in self-pity!

A Bizarre Life Experience

No matter who it is, what happened here could be one life experience that is bizzare! I cannot imagine this is happening. As the story goes, a Mr. Demetrius Soupolos 29 and his former beauty Queen wife, Traute, wanted a child badly, but Demetrius was told by his doctor that he was sterile.

Mr. Demetrius hired his neighbor, Frank Maus 34, to impregnate his wife Traute. Frank was already married and the father of two children. Soupolos paid Frank $2,500 for the job and for three evenings a week for the next six months to get Traute pregnant. Frank's wife objected to the arrangement but finally gave in, convinced that her husband Frank is doing it for the money! Hey! I guess many guys would have agreed without the money since the wife was a former beauty Queen! I am not too sure if you are the wife would you agree?

Six months passed and Taute did not get pregnant! Soupolos insisted Frank to have a medical examination which Frank did. The doctor's announcement that Frank is sterile shocked everyone except his own wife who was forced to confess that the two children they have were not his!

Subsequently, Soupolos sued Frank for breach of contract in an effort to get his money back.Frank refused to return the money saying that he did not guarantee conception but he would give an honest effort! Oh my! what a story! I wonder when did this happened because Demetrius never thought of artificial-insemination!
