An inspiring video which touches my heart every time I watch it. And yet it never failed to put a smile on my face at the end of the video. For those of you who haven’t watched it before. Hope you’ll be inspired by it and yet at the same time have a good laugh watching it. Something which caught my attention in the video between the man and the girl.
The girl was crying and asking the man, “Why am I different from others?” And the man replied, “Why…do you have to be like others.” The video is about a deaf girl learning to play the violin; impossible it may seem. However, as the man said in the video, music is a visible things, close your eyes. You will see.”
Believe in ourselves and then we have to take massive action! You can Shine too!

CEO of the People, Haruka Nishimatsu of Japan Airline truly brings leadership to a while new level of meaning. “If management is distant, up in the clouds, people just wait for orders,” Nishimatsu told CBS News through a translator. “I want my people to think for themselves.” Nishimatsu says a CEO doesn’t motivate by how many millions he makes, but by convincing employees you’re all together in the same boat.
According to the CBS News report, his salary for running the worlds 10th largest airline: not millions, but one year as low as $90,000. When he was forced to cut salaries for everyone else, he also cut his own.
How many CEOs out there were doing that in the recent crisis? Here is one who was leading by example. I am one who not only believe in walking the talk but also in being the change I want to see in the world; these were exactly what I could relate to immediately when I first saw the video. Haruka Nishimatsu is truly one who can inspire his team and I believe that with him heading Japan Airline, the company would continue to fly through the turbulence ahead.
In a world where many seek to lead, not many are willing to serve. I believe that a great leader is the best servant; one who is willing to bring himself down to serve anyone.
This is the season of love especially with Christmas just over and the new year has just started. Coming in February will be Saint Valentine’s Day. The season of loving, giving and sharing. In fact, the spirit of loving, giving and sharing should be on 365 days every day, every hour, every minute and every second. If there should be only one way of living, then love should be the way to live.
Sharing with you Close to You performed by Karen Carpenter, a lady with a very unique and beautiful voice.
Lyrics of Close to You
Why do birds suddenly appear,
every time you are near?
Just like me,they long to be
close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky,every time you walk by?
Just like me,they long to be close to you.
On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to
create a dream come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair, with gold and starlight
in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town follow you all around;
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Follow the journey of a young boy of a three-generation household, as he sees first hand the importance of respecting, honouring, and loving his parents, through the best and the worst of times. What truly captured my heart is the line, “How one generation loves, the next generation learns.” There couldn’t be more true to that line; I learn respect, unconditional love and acceptance from watching how my parents treat their parents.
My grandmother taught me a valuable lesson in Patience, Unconditional Love and Acceptance recently. She was admitted in the hospital for more than two weeks. For the two weeks, we took turns to take care of her during the day so that the caregiver could take a rest at home and be back in the evening to take care of her through the night.
Initially for the first 3 nights she was very restless and hallucinating; seeing things and people around her and making noises. There was really nothing much we could do, except to try to calm her down in different ways.
Fortunately she got much better and her mind much clearer after the third day; she could recognise us. However, she was still eating very little and getting weaker. We tried buying her some of her favorite food and cooking what she requested but she was still not eating. The doctor was telling us if she continued to refuse to eat, they would have to feed her by inserting a tube through her nostril down the throat and into her stomach. We were all at a lost and didn’t know what to do except to hope that she would start eating.
Then miraculously she started eating more and more. Soon she regained her strength back. My grandmother is a very strong-willed lady who always want to win. Thus the first thing when she got back her strength, she wanted to go home; the hospital couldn’t discharge her as they were monitoring her blood sugar level (which has been high) as well as her hemoglobin (which has been low). We had to try all ways to pacify her to stay in hospital.
The good news is, she was discharged from the hospital yesterday.
