Baby PilotA SMILE costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.
A SMILE creates happiness in the home,
fosters goodwill in the business, and
is the countersign of friendships.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much
as he who has no more to give. =)
Cornfield at SunriseThis is a story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it wins a blue ribbon.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering in corn competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn"
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves.
The Moral of the Story:
If we want to grow good corn, we must help our neighbours grow good corn.
This is the same with our lives. Those who choose to live in peace must help their neighbours to live in peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
"Never underestimate what a simple gesture can do. It is the little things that you do that make a big difference in other people's lives."
- Catherine Pulsifer
"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
- Marian Wright Edelman
"Giving is not about numbers; it's not about quantity.
It's about the quality of what we do and the purity of our hearts."
- Anonymous
"Never say no time, just ask whether there's heart. Sacrificing some leisure time, make use of one's specialty in exchange for a meaningful activity. Ask not how much has been done, but how immense the sincerity is contributing time and effort."
- Anonymous
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
- Kahlil Gibran
"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love."
- Henry Drummond
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

"Will someone else's life be brighter tomorrow
because of what you have done today?"
- William Arthur Ward
一个微笑，能给别人带来愉悦；
一个关爱的眼神，就能给人带来希望；
一个关怀的举动，就能让人从痛苦中解救出来；
一个激励的话语，甚至能让一个人起死回生。
－ 何权峰著《4舍5入》
Always be happy and always wear a smile
not because life is full of reasons to smile
but because your smile is a reason
for others to be happy!
Good Morning to You!
Kindness"Kind words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless."
- Mother Teresa
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
- Mark Twain
People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but they will not forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
Kindness in words creates confidence
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness
Kindness in giving creates love.
- Lao-tzu
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
- Leo Buscaglia
No kind action ever stops with itself.
One kind action leads to another.
Good example is followed.
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions,
and the roots spring up and make new trees.
The greatest work that kindness does to others
is that it makes them kind themselves.
- Amelia Earhart
Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Take care of your garden
And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine
Kind words and kind deeds.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Never be tired of doing little things for others,
sometimes those little things
are the big things
which are treasured &
kept in their hearts.
Have a Good Day (^-^)
StarfishThere was a man taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sunrays, they would die.
The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing.
He caught up with him and asked "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?"
This man did not reply, he took two more steps, picked up another one, threw into the water and said, "It makes a difference to this one."
Moral of the Story:
We all can make a difference to the lives of others - big or small, it doesn't matter.
If everyone makes a small difference, we would end up with a big difference, wouldn't we?
