Five wise men got lost in the forest.
The first one said:
- I will go left – my intuition tells me that.
The second one said:
- I will go right – there is a reason why right comes from the word rightness.
The third one said:
- I will go back – we came from there, it means I will go out from the forest.
The fourth one said:
- I will go straight – we should move forward, the forest will end and something new will open.
The fifth said:
- You are all wrong. There is a better solution. Wait for me.
He found the tallest tree and climbed into it. While he was climbing everyone else scattered towards their own sides. From above he saw where they should go to leave the forest faster. Now he could even see in what order the other wise men will reach the end of the forest. He climbed higher and saw the shortest way. He understood the problem and found the best solution! He knew that he did everything right. And the others were wrong. They were stubborn and they didn’t listen to him. He was the real Wise Man!
But he was wrong.
Everyone was right. The one who went left, found himself in the thicket. He had to starve and fight with wild animals. But he learned how to survive in the forest; he became a part of the forest and could teach others the same.
The one who went right, met thieves. They took everything from him and made him steal with them. But after some time, he had woken up something in those thieves that they have forgotten – humanity and compassion. The remorse was so strong in some of them, that after his death they also became the wise men.
The one who went back, made a pathway through the forest, which soon became a road for those who wanted to walk in the forest without being afraid of getting lost.
The one who went straight, became a pioneer. He visited the places where no one else was and opened wonderful new possibilities for people, amazing healing plants and magnificent animals.
The one who climbed into the tree, became a specialist of finding short ways. People turned to him when they wanted to find the fastest way to deal with their problems, even if it didn’t lead to any development. This is how the five wise men reached their destiny.

我们在哪里? Begin with the end in mind
我们在哪里并不重要,最重要的是我们正往哪里走。无论过去错得多离谱都无所谓,那已经是过去,最重要的是我们要怎样把现在做得最好。
现在最重要(吉祥语:吉祥尊者弟子众听录)
"would you tell me please which way I ought to go fro here?"
"That's depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
" I don't much care where..." said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

一切就这样发生了
好久没有写博客了.. 脸书比较流行. 无他, 就很方便简单, all in one page. 可以写写自己的感想, 也可以看到朋友们的. 可以上载照片, 又可以玩游戏.趁今天假期, 回到自己多年前开的博客, 看看自己写了写什么. 没有激起太多的回忆. 回首2年来, 做了些什么, 好多好多. 又好象没什么. 从离开KL, 到马六甲工作, 开始的时候, 新工作真的好难顶, 拼命的想换工, 到渐渐上手, 也习惯了承受工作的压力. 不知道为什么, 看中了一间待售的屋子, 就这样添置了新房. 过了几个月, 结婚了. 现在生活算安定下来, 可以准备接受未来的希望和挑战. 看看朋友们, 大多都还未成家, 好多都在国外发展. 自己的脚步是否快了些? 我想大家都为自己的理想而奋斗, 不过我选择了较安定的生活. 这不就是我的福报吗? 做人要健康快乐, 并带给别人快乐. 愿大家依法如实,健康快乐.
