HumanMustRead: Things we have never realized
 
   

Hi everyone!

This post actually posted on my personal blog one year ago and I feel that it is a good thing to share with all of you.
Yes, you.
The person that having hard times, having to struggle for your life behind all the fake smiles.


Life is something we are experiencing now, at this moment. No matter when you read this,
It's still in the time of the happening of your "LIFE".

We often forgot about what we already had and furthermore, we always COMPLAINING to single bad thing happened in our life.

Now, let's go through these question: answer it, keep in your mind.

Do you have 2 eyes? so, you can see properly

Do you have 2 legs? so, you can walk, run and kick some how.

Do you have 2 ears? so, you can listen clear into every sounds around you.

Do you have mouth? so, you could be able to speak and engage in a conversation.

Do you have 2 hands? so, you can take every physic things, you can touch, even hit people you hate.

Do you think you are too short or too high? when you are still considered as "NORMAL"

Do you think you are too fat? when you have good body, just not slim as those models.


People always never satisfied with themselves, Me, Myself, and I sometimes complain about my short body too.
But actually, After seeing so many people who shorter than me, I try hard to thank God.


Consider these people when it comes to your complaining of your good life.

 

Well, I guess u guys don't know who is this guy. Actually, I saw him on a Taiwan TV show.
He is known as "The Tallest Man in Taiwan". He is 220cm height and needs about 15 packs of rice everyday to survive.
He has no girlfriend until now (39years old) because the size of his body.
Beside that, both of his parents are suffering cancer and needs extra care, meanwhile with this size of body, he has discouraged looking for a job because nobody wants to hire him.
However, he has never ever find a suitable clothes and any apparel for his size, thus he needs to pay extra cost for everything he wear such as his shoes, clothes, pants and everything on his body.
His super big shoes cost him 6000 yuan which is quite a lot of money.
I cried when I saw his touching VCR about his life.
People call him "da siang" (elephant) , "monster", "scary man" and a lot of nick names goes to his heart and has discouraged him to go for public, Thus he is dare only to put him self in his house almost all the time.
One of the worst thing is his legs. His legs become black because all the blood pressed down to bottom of his legs, so the blood volume there such excessing and make him need to put socks or else his legs looks so scary.

 


So, have you consider yourself as "lucky" when you know him?

NO? okay, then take a look of this.


Do you know how much courage these people need to survive?

 


A homeless man. Now can you feel that your house is so nice?

 
How many times they can eat a day? What do you think?

 
Do you know how hard they work for a single dollar,
meanwhile you keep complaining in the office while
the air conditioner doesn't work for just an hour?


Do you have any idea how strong their passion to study? What about us?
Skipping class? Sleeping on lecture? or doesn't even care about anything?

 
Do you know how dark is the world they see? But, sometimes
our life is darker than theirs even though we have a pair of eyes to see.


Can you feel their laughter even just for a new uniform
they received?

 

Okay, now come to ourself. What do you think about your life?

Good enough , huh? Sometimes, we just have to thank God for every single thing we have. I know complaining is difficult to stop. But, at least, try to reduce it.


If you have more, give to people who have less.

If you feel miserable, think about people worse than you then you will realized that you are still lucky and well lived.


Do you shop often?

Do you buy MANGO, BURBERY, POLO, ZARA and other branded clothes?

Do you have everything more than $3 per meal?

Are you studying in University or any College?

Do you have more than one shoe?

Have you ever travel overseas?

Do you go Spa often?

Do you eat three times a day or more than that?

Do you have good handphone?

Do you have netbook?

Do you celebrate your birthday every year?


Do you think they can celebrate their birthday?

 

We often forget to be thankful for what we have. 
Try to give hand for people who need it, whatever comes from your heart, will go to their heart even just a cent.
There are so many people out there suffer for their life. Surviving hardly for a grain of rice.
Stop saying you are the most suffering person in the world, make your mind wide and think!

Appreciate your time, your school, everything and everyone around you. Happiness happens when we stop complaining.

"I hope this post can help us to realized the thing that we are used to forget or not even knowing, that 

"We are still really fortunate" Believe it.
