Working Age:
Have Money + Energy …but No Time
Old age:

True Friends
True Friends
After losing his parents, this 3 year old orangutan was so depressed he wouldn't eat and didn't respond to any medical treatments. The veteranarians thought he would surely die from sadness. The zoo keepers found an old sick dog on the grounds in the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to the animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same time the orangutan was there being treated. The 2 lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since.
The orangatang found a new reason to live and each always tries his best to be a good companion to his new found friend. They are together 24 hours a day in all their activities.
They live in Northern California where swimming is their favorite past time, although Roscoe (the orangutan) is a little afraid of the water and needs his friend's help to swim.
Together they have discovered the joy and laughter in life and the value of friendship.
They have found more than a friendly shoulder to lean on.
Long Live Friendship!!!!!!!
I don't know......some say life is too short, others say it is too long, but I know that nothing that we do makes sense if we don't touch the hearts of others.......while it lasts!

Blind Boy
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his
feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind,
please help." There were only a few coins in the hats. 
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and
dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how
things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one
who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but
in a different way." I wrote:
"Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign
simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people
that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we
be surprised that the second sign was more
effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be
creative. Be innovative. Think differently and
positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show
life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future
without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling,
And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason
behind it!!!

someone's heart today and forever.
低头亦是一种能力
被称为「美国之父」的富兰克林，年轻时曾去拜访一位前辈。
年轻气盛的他，挺胸昂首迈着大步，进门撞在门框上，迎接他的前辈见此情景，笑笑说：「很疼吗？可这将是你今天来访的最大收获。一个人活在世上，就必须时刻记住低头。」
无独有偶，有人问过苏格拉底：「你是天下最有学问的人，那么你说天与地之间的高度是多少？」
苏格拉底毫不迟疑地说：「三尺！」
那人不以为然：「我们每个人都五尺高，天与地之间只有三尺，那不是戳破苍穹？」
苏格拉底笑着说：「所以，凡是高度超过三尺的人，要长立于天地之间，就要懂得低头。」
大师们提到的「记住低头」和「懂得低头」之说，就是要记住不论你的资历、能力如何，在浩瀚的社会里，你只是一个小分子，无疑是渺小的。
当我们把奋斗目标看得更高时，更要在人生舞台上唱低调，在生活中保持低姿态，把自己看轻些，把别人看重些。富兰克林就从中领悟到了深刻的道理，并把它列入一生的生活准则之中。
其实，我们的生活又何尝不是如此。自认怀才不遇的人，往往看不到别人的优秀；愤世嫉俗的人，往往看不到世界的美好；只有敢于低头并不断否定自己的人，才能够不断吸取教训，才会为别人的成功而欣喜，为自己的善解人意而自得，才会在挫折面前心安理得。
当你从困惑中走出来时，你会发现，一次善意的低头，其实是一种难得的境界：低头亦是一种能力，它并不是自卑，也不是怯弱，它是清醒中的一种嬗变经营。
如果把我们的人生比做爬山，有的人在山脚刚刚起步，有的正向山腰跋涉，有的已信步顶峰，但此时，不管你处在什么位置，请记住：要把自己放在山的最低处，即使「会当凌绝顶」，也要会低头，因为，在你所经历的漫长人生旅途中，总难免有碰头的时候。
低头亦是一种能力。有时稍微低一下头，或许我们的人生路会走得更精彩

Half Man and Half Price Store
Half Man & Half Price Store: Story of Peng Shuilin
半人半价店: 彭水林的故事
凡事謝恩 Always Count Your Blessings
In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don't have.Half of the time we seem dissatisfied, though full-bodied and free to choose.Fat people say, "I want to be slim." Skinny people say, "I want to be fatter."
Poor people want to be rich and rich are never satisfied with what they have.
在生活中，我们经常抱怨，没有这样, 或没有那样。
多一半时间, 我们似乎不满意，虽然身体健全, 并且可以自由选择。肥胖人说， " 我想要是瘦." 皮包骨头的人说， " 我想要是肥."贫穷人想要富有，富有人从未满意他们拥有的财富。
PENG Shuilin (彭水林) is 78 cms high. He was born in Hunan Province , China . On March 9, 2004 in Shenzhen, a freight truck sliced his body in half. His lower body and legs were beyond repair.
2004年3月9日，46岁的湖南湘乡人彭水林在深圳布吉被一辆大货车拦腰撞伤，下腹、盆骨及两条大腿根部被轧碎，无法修复，只有截肢。深圳布吉医院用了7个月将他从死亡线上拉了回来，162厘米高的他只剩下78厘米的上身，体重33公斤，他也成了全国罕见的高截位存活者。
Surgeons sewed up his torso. At 43, Peng Shuilin spent nearly two years in hospital in Shenzhen, southern China , undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body. Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth.
He survived against all odds. Now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again after a decade.
In 2007, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing devised an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body, with two bionic legs attached.
2007年3月，彭水林到中国康复研究中心北京博爱医院接受康复治疗和训练，康复专家经过5个月的研究，为他研制了下半身假肢，为其生活自理，回归社会，打下了良好的基础。
It took careful consideration, skilled measurement and technical expertise. Peng has been walking the corridors of Beijing Rehabilitation Centre with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a re-sized walking frame.
RGO is a recipicating gait orthosis, attached to a prosthetic socket bucket. There is a cable attached to both legs so when one goes forward, the other goes backwards. Rock to the side, add a bit of a twist and the leg without the weight on it advances, while the other one stays still, giving a highly inefficient way of ambulation. Oh so satisfying to 'walk' again after ten years with half a body!
Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said: "We've just given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age."
Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store. This inspirational amputee has now become a businessman and he serves as a role model for other amputees.
At just 2 ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability. His attitude is amazing, he doesn't complain.
半人半价店
彭水林已开一个小店，名 <半人半价店>，他希望以后能靠自己的双手挣钱，要好好地活下去，活得更坚强一点。希望遭遇不幸的人，都不要轻易放弃生命。
You have a whole body. You have feet.
Now you have met a man who has no feet.
