From A Distance

From a distance the world looks blue and green, 

and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance

Change

I was quite downcast lately.In fact,I was unhappy and stressed out for a few weeks till now.But,at this moment,I am happy.Because I have made up my mind to make a change,to make a different,to treat myself better-to be happy.

As Abraham Lincoln once said:"Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be."

Absolutely,one's attitude affects their opinion and prospective of life.One's thinking affects their lives.If we choose to live happily and cheerfully,we could possibly make the most of life and live each day with happiness and satisfaction.

A week ago,my teacher asked me during the MUET class:"Winky,what happened to you?Why you are keeping quite?Unlike the usual Winky we have known,you used to be very active and talks very often.Why are you seemed like a different person now?You must have something that bothered you.Do you mind to share your problem with us?"I just smiled reluctantly as an answer to her question.Deep down I know that it is something up with me recently that makes me feel so uncomfortable and bitterly unhappy.


Yesterday,my teacher asked the same question again:"Winky,I noticed that you are quite quiet and passive recently?What happened to you?I can see it by observing your body language.Where's the old Winky who talks a lot in the class?Now we can only see a different Winky who looks tired and seems like uninterested in anything and fed up with Form 6.Anything thing wrong with you,Winky?"She asked me thoughtfully.Once again,I smile a bit and shake my head to deny it.


Yesterday my class monitor told us that we will be going to visit SMK Taman Melawati today for watching our seniors performing kolokium program.I was decided to go but after a second thought,I have changed my mind.I took 'scare-to-be-boring-till-death' as an excuse and made up my mind to stay at home.


I was slightly regret of my decision when I woke up at 8:45am from the bed.I sat alone beside my bed and lost in a deep thought.I couldn't focus on doing the revision on Business subjects as I have planned to do the previous day.So,I took my vampire novel and sat down to read,escape from the tension for a little while.Then,I picked up a self-help book to read:'Why Positive Thinkers Have The Power'.Finally,I have found myself living like a dead-living person for a whole two weeks.I was living in depression and angered lately.But today I have resolved to live happier.As a saying goes:"Men are disturbed not by the things that happen,but by their opinion of the things that happen."

"We are only on earth once,so enjoy it while here."

-Will Rogers

Gratitude = Happiness

How can we attain happiness?


In my opinion,as long as we appreciate for what we already have or possess now,we are the happiest persons in the world.

I am blessed.You are blessed.We are all blessed.

Some people might feel extremely downcast and thought of end their life due to the pressure in their lives.They think that there's nothing left in this world that really matters for them.But...why don't they count what they have?

We have eyes,nose,mouth,ears,hands,legs...We can see,smell,speak,hear,do everything we want and walk to wherever we want to.

There's ain't nothing left in this world if we think in this way.

As long as we could still breathe,we should and must pray and thank God for being kind to us.

Life is short,life is wonderful.It is our own choices to be happy or the otherwise,just depends on our attitudes toward life and happiness.

To being happy is easy yet many people couldn't feel happy.

SMILE always,happy always.
