caring

Heard this phrase on a tv series recently - if you care for others, others would eventually care for you.

I guess it's because we are not living alone. Whatever we do, we are not alone.

If you need food, you need to get it from others - restaurant, market, etc.
If you need clothes, you need to get it from others - boutique, shop, etc.
If you need accomodation, you need to get it from others - rental place, developer, etc.

If you are working, you need to deal with colleagues, clients, etc.
If you are studying, you need to deal with friends, teachers, etc.
If you are holidaying, you need to deal with strangers, co-travellers, etc.

But I would like to stress that, when you care for others, do not expect anything in return.
Caring supposed to be something that you give to others in your own accord.

If there's no reciprocate on your caring and you don't like it that way, then just stop it. Don't start to get fumed up by the inconsiderate of others and blame others for not returning your kindness or caring. Just go and find one that you appreciate your caring. Why make yourself and others suffer?

Of course, caring supposed to be something that is to give and take. When you receive caring from others, you are supposed to return the kindness. This is the right attitude.

But what about when you received caring/kindness from one that you would not like to?
Who's the one that's having attitude problem now?

history

What would you comment on the subject - History? Boring, lengthly, not interesting, sleepy, etc. I guess that would be what most people would linked to the subject. Of course, we cannot neglect those that truly loved history.

It is actually quite true that "we study history in order to learn the value from it and not to let the history to repeat itself (which is actually just to avoid bad mistakes to be repeated)." However, how many of us, truly understand and appreciate the subject of history.

Actually history can be interesting. It is just how you look upon it. If you can appreciate history, then you would appreciate the changes, the revolutions and understand why and how things are working right now.

compliment

When was the last time you had compliments from others?
And when was the last time you had compliment others?

It felt good to have compliments from others once a while, of course, provided it is a sincere compliment. Nonetheless, a small compliment can really liften up your mood and also self-confidence.

So, imagine, you can always pass on the good mood just by a small, sincere compliment and you can make his/her day better.
