Trees need H2O, CO2, sunshine and nutrients for sustainability and growth.
So, what do we need in order to sustain and excel in our work and life?
We need H2O, O2, healthy food, sunshine, good sleep, positive mindset and emotional fulfillment to sustain our efforts in the actualisation of dreams and destiny, and most importantly, the preservation of our bodies and souls.
These elements must come in BALANCE. Imagine what will happen if you have too much healthy food? It will become unhealthy leading to obesity. What if you have too much sleep, the result is one will look like a polar bear in the winter...

An adorable monk and his beloved master
Once upon a time, there was a young adorable monk in the Shaolin Temple of China.
The monk had a master who loved him so much and took very good care of him. Whenever he made mistakes, the master would assist him without hesitation. Whenever he apologized to his master, the master would forgive him easily.
Overtimes, the monk became spoilt and made more nasty gestures deliberately. He saw taking his master for granted as a mean of joy because he knew his master would come to help him and forgive him easily.
One night, he played with some candles at a cottage behind his master hostel. A candle dropped accidentally in the bush and fire spreaded. The breath of wind accelerated the spread of fire and it shallowed the cottage and then his master's hostel fiercefully in a glimpse. Monks run out from other hostels, shouted and rescued those caught in the fire but regardless of their efforts, the fierceful fire shallowed them rapidly and brutally.
The scene was caught by the little monk in fright. He was helpless and his tear dropped continously for days. Other monks reprimanded him for his wrong doing and he suffered from his sorrow to his beloved master who could no longer assist him and forgive him. In deep depression, he lived soullessly for many years thereafter.
One night, he met his master in a dream. The master asked him what had he learnt from the accident? He could not answer. Then, the master told him to let go the poor memory and move on because he left with a hidden meaning. He left for giving the last love that he could give him in hope that he would live a meaningful and purposeful life in future.
Indeed, he left for a purpose of LOVE...

A Candle in In the Dark
When we encounter problems and distress, some people choose to face it by himself while other look for a helping hand or shoulder to lean on...
If a person can confront and address it by themselves and come out from the distress with solutions, yes, he has allowed the Giant within to grow.
However, in many instances, we may be influenced by the boredom, negative taughts and paradigm that induce the growth of Evil within ourselves.
In such case, one needs to look for a helping hand, a person to talk to and/or a shoulder to lean on. He should let himself to calm down, re-tune his perception and return to the positive path. By talking to other person, hopefully the one with more positive mind, he can see the issues in hand at different angles and perception, hence walking out from the darkness with a new candle in hands...

Stages of Love
When we were formed, we lived and grew in the Palace of Love
When we were born, we were in the hands of our parents showered by Love
When we become children, we received and were taught how to Love
When we become adolents, we bump around in search for the true meaning of Love
When we are adults, we look for our second halves to actualise Love
When we have our children, we shower them with Love and show them how to Love
When we age, we rest and await the children and grandchildren to return in Love
When we decease, we will be missed with Love

When we decease, we will be missed with Love

A Father and A Son
One day, a father asked his son, "Son, what do you what to become when you grow up?"
The son replied, "I want to become a Man."
Then, the father replied, "Oh, yes, of course you will become one, but I want to know what type of Man you want to become?"
Bewildered, the son did not know how to answer.
The father followed with 2 questions, "If one day you are dead, what do you want your sons to speak about you? How do you wish them to miss you?"
The son stopped, taught for a while and said with tear in his eyes, "a caring, loving, honest and diligent man just like you."
So, what do you want your sons to perceive you? How do you wish them to miss you?
Love
After the windy days, leafs fall and land on the root.
They have a place they belong and they will deform and nurture the soil to cultivate new stems and leafs.
We, after the struggle and hardship days in days out, do we have a place for our hearts and souls to rest?
We all need a place and shoulders to lean on, be it men or women, to talk when we are vulnerable and lonely.
Our parents, brothers, sisters and friends will leave us anyhow... as they have their respective paths to follow in different stages of life.
Some people rest their hearts and souls on the fields that they are interested in, for instance, religion, traveling, books, etc but are that sustainable and natural?
Does it divert from the equilibrium of the Laws of Nature?
We are incomplete without the second half... where we can give our hearts and soul in his/her hands in search for LOVE.

Eagles
Eagles live in the highest branches of trees or cliffs which is cold, lonely and dangerous. However, they enjoy the latitude of where they live and the tranquility there allows their mind to be calm and sharp. Eagles have a special manner to take off compared to other birds. They must first of all observe the direction and strength of the wind before they do so. Should the correct wind reaches, they will open their wings and with the theory of aero dynamic, they rise speedily with little efforts. They enjoy the speed and latitude when they fly and their position allow them to see further and enjoy the scenery and fresh air that no other birds can enjoy.
However, being the King of all birds is not without disadvantage. By virtue of their strength and superior appearance, hunters enjoy great pleasure to hunt them down. The hunters will keep on trying the hunt the huge birds as a life long challenges or even an imaginative enemy. Should they hit their target- the Eagles, they will brag around and show their achievement to others, just like a trophy.
Young eagles have to make a great deal of efforts before they can learn to fly high and fast. They must learn from the elderly how to observe the winds and take off. However, should they fall and injured, they will learn from the lesson, heal themselves and strengthen their muscle for the next flight. Should the next wind with correct strength and direction arrives, they will take off again with greater confidence.
Eagles, being the King of prey, eat the fishes from the sea or fresh water rivers, or the animals in the wilderness only. Their eyesight is so sharp and the speed is so high that no prey can escape from their attack. Due to their pride, they would rather starve to death if you try to feed them with worms or seeds. If you try to catch them and lock them in cages, they will hit the cages to death, too. Indeed, they belong to the wilderness where the sky is their limit ONLY.
Eagles of the same type attract each others, just like you and me, my dear friends…
