looks like i do have a lot of ample time today aa... :) found this in a friend's blog, thought i share it since it's a waste to keep sumthing so "menginsafkan"
the story goes:
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He’s always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying.
"Just take care of my eyes dear."

This is how humans change when their status changes. Only few remember what life was before, and who has always been there in the most painful situations. therefore;
Today before you think of saying an unkind word
--> Think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food
--> Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife
-->Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life
-->Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children
-->Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep
-->Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive
-->Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complaining about your job
-->Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
-->Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
-->Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
iza once told me; "if we have the luxury to grumble, we must have life better than most"
i bet you're right dear!! the next time i'll open my mouth to complain anything, i hope my brain is faster in sending me this reminder...
adios,
xoxo
