Teacher's Prayer

I wanted to teach my students how

To live this life on earth.

To face its struggles and its strife

And to improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book

Or how the rivers flow,

But how to choose the proper path

Wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth

And know the right from wrong

And gather all the beauty of

A flower and a song.

For if I helped the world to grow

In wisdom and in grace

Then I feel that I have won

And I have filled my place.

And so I asked your guidance,

GodThat I have done my part

For character and confidence

And happiness of heart.

True Love

When I think of my love for you..
the wonder of its beauty takes my breath away.
I cannot recall the moment in time it began,
but only the overwhelming feeling of ecstasy it brought to me.

For at that moment I knew happiness.
A happiness I had never known before.
For just the thought of you gave me joy beyond belief.

The thought of being with you and being held by you was my one desireI knew once we first met none other would ever do,
for I knew love.

I knew love as I had never thought possible in this life time.
It is a love of passion and desire.
It is a never-ending need to you,
for you, only you.

When I think of my love for youI realize I now know the true meaning of love.
I will love you as long as this life endures and beyond,
for you are my dreams, my realities.
You are my heart
You are my meaning of true love.

Malaysian Girl And Malaysian Boy, 11 Things That You Wont Learn At School

Bill Gates previously gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone with kids of any age, Malaysian girl and Malaysian boy, here's some advice.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

What you think about this? Just leave a comment on this post, let's discuss it folks! You are not Malaysian girl and boy? Is ok, you still welcome to drop a comment here since this is global issues.
