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!!!

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
