In this superior and luxurious restaurant, a famous pianist was performing to the diners with his heavenly bound music and skill. While indulging in the music coming from this prominent and reputable pianist, the businessman recall that he learnt to play piano before when he was young and was so crazy with deep love on piano. He then turn to his dad, "If in the past, I seriously practiced piano, now I may be performing like a pro here in this luxurious place to all the distinguished diners." "Yes, my son", replied his dad. "But if that's the case, you will not be dining in this luxurious restaurant as a distinguished diner now." ** LIFECOACHES: "We often sigh and regret over lost opportunities and achievements, but always forget to count our blessings for what we have now. Start counting your blessings, and treasure what you are possessing now. What are you possessing now? **ponder and list down** - health, youth, love, touch, taste, family, friends, wealth... and mostly, be glad and happy that you can still taste O2 (oxygen)"

3) Knowing your "Limited" genius-3/6 A clever little boy was in a grocery store with his mom. When the lady owner saw this handsome little boy, she opened a box full of sweets and candies and offer it to him. She requested him to grasp a handful of these candies. But strangely, this little boy has no reaction at all. After landed a few empty offers, this lady owner grasps a handful of candies for him and placed them in his front pocket. When little boy reached home, her mom asked in a curious tone, "why didn't you grasp the candies yourself, but wanted the lady owner to do it for you?" The boy gave a brilliant answer, "Mom, because my hand is small compare to the lady owner. That's why she will definitely grasp more with her hand than mine!" ** LIFECOACHES: "This is a boy with wisdom, as he knew his own strength and limit. Do you know yours? The most important lesson is, he also knows the strength of others. In life, to achieve anything, it's rather stupid to work with our own energy. We must learn like this little boy, with his wisdom of getting help from the strength of others. This is called humble, this is termed wise!"
