Have you ever received any complaints from your granny or your loved one who wear denture, saying that the food you buy or cook is too hard for them to chew? Well, if you do and you think they are just trying to mess up with you and make your life difficult, you have to change your mind. I strongly suggest that you go for a complicated extracted that require suturing (eventhough you don't need one, LOL). It is only after this that you will realise how many foods that you think they are impossible to be considered "hard" are actually hard for the denture wearing people. Even grilled chicken can irritate the gum , not to mention about nuts and vegetables. At best, they will swallow what you give them in order not to dissapoint you and waste your effort. So, please be sensitive.
Prepare food that is chewable, make them into small chunk and ask them to chew on both sides. Also, ask them to take their denture out everytime when they do not need to use it. It helps in my granny's case. Presumably, it will work in most case.

Wisdom tooth
I haven't being injected with IAN Block after 2nd year in dental school when we learn how to jap each other. And, i have really forgotten about the feeling of being the one sitting down in the dental chair, waiting to be injected with the long needle.
Today, i got my first IAN block plus multiple infiltration all around my impacted third molar. To be honest, the injections weren't very pleasant. Hence, i would like to say thank you to all of the patients or colleagues that i have given injections in the past three years. You were really brave.
I am glad that i had the opportunity to experince what the patient felt during extration of impacted third molar (wisdom tooth). In the mean time, i feel really awful to have to gone through extraction eventhough i didn't eat tonnes of sweets and i was brushing and flossing my teeth. Well, this is life, life is unfair. Now that i understand so deeply that "agenesis of wisdom tooth can be a blessing", it really mean something to me now. And, i doubt the presence of an impacted wisdom tooth will make you any superior in term intelligence as compared to people without one.
Having my wisdom tooth extracted, part of my anterior border of my ramus drilled away with bone drill, my retromolar pad cut open and stitched back, I now have to swallow eat soft diet with small size spoon and not to mention about pain killerssss. It is hurting even when i swallow, I WANT THIS TO GO AWAY ASAP. :(

What do crabs eat?
Went to crabbing with some friends a few days ago, but unfortunately we didn't catch any crab, but a tiny weenee baby crab wondering in the net that we had to let go. So, there was nothing much to blog about that, except for beautiful scenary, strong wind, other fisher and jetty that was filled with dried fish bone and ralae. Kinda messy actually.
But the topic "what do crabs eat" came up on the dinner table. Between, we use kangaroo back bone as the bail for crabbing.
C:"There is no kangaroo in the sea, that is why crab don't eat them...., may be we should use dead rotten fish....."
W:"But some fishes may eat crab, so what kind of fish should we use?"
I: "May be we should ask the fishmonger, they must know? "
Here is the result from a search on the internet

I: "May be we should ask the fishmonger, they must know? "
Here is the result from a search on the internet
"Crab are scavengers and usually eat dead matter and algae. Some crabs will take eat living animals like shrimps, small fish and snails."
Hence, the conclusion is crab eat dead matter, i think any junk will attrack them if they are in the mood of eating and being catched. Aw, i am craving for crab after the dissapointing crabbing trip. Miss my mum's chilli crab so much now,, can't wait till 3rd of dec.

无知是幸福的
在书上读的疾病,癌症,死亡等等等等,
我真的以为这些都是书上的资料和"别人"的遭遇,
是我知道的比较多了, 还是"坏"的频率提高了?
好象我所读所闻都渐渐出现,老实说:我一点都不喜欢这一种感觉;
在desperate housewife里, Susan说了一句"everyone got cut up everyday, i think i can handle it." 这一句话被我消化成,这世上天天都有人被割(开刀),可是我还是不想被割. 我想每个人的心灵深处都会有恐惧的一处,至少我有.
在别人有伤心事的时候,那些可以触动心灵的话语,其实对自己是没有什麽作用的. 再次证明"针不刺到肉是不会痛的",我好象懂了.
好象无知才是最幸福的,我还可以吗?

Coffee and Honey
Have you ever hate drinking coffee due to the sour taste?
I have just figured out that mixing coffee with honey will eliminate the sour taste and make the bevarage perfect to drink. Well, i am not sure if every type of honey works, i use manuka honey. :)

responsibility and obligation
Responsibility is defined as a duty to deal with or take care of somebody
or something, so that you may be blamed if somthing goes wrong.
Obligation is defined as the state of being forced to do something because
it is your duty, or because of law; or something that you have to do because you have promised or because of law.
Mandatory is defined as something you must do as required by lawI used to think that we have a choice to choose and decide what is our obligation. However, it turns out that life is much more complicated. Sometimes, obligation is not optional, it is the same as responsibility and mandatory.

Butterfly Effect-蝴蝶效应
我自创的formula
Wilkepedia 很清楚的解释,
The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of
sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small
variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may
produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. This is
sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very
simple
systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll
into any
of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial
position.
The
phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create
tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to
appear (or, for that matter, prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping
wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which
causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly
not
flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly
different.
中文的解释为,
蝴蝶效应（Butterfly Effect）是指在一个动力系统中，初始条件下微小的变化能带动整个系统的长期的巨大的连锁反应。这是一种混沌现象。如果两个人的关系等于 A+B, 然后第三个人 C 加入, 结果并不等于 A+B+C, 而是等于 X (未知数). 原理很简单, 人际关系并不象数学, 加减乘除是不适用的. 写了那麽多, 也只不过是想说原来把一个人带入你的生活有时侯会给原本的生活带来很多改变. 当然不是完全不好, 不过不好的好象多过好的. 又发现我原来真的很笨. 笨蛋笨蛋.
美国气象学家爱德华·罗伦兹（Edward
Lorenz）1963年在一篇提交纽约科学院的论文中分析了这个效应。“一个气象学家提及，如果这个理论被证明正确，一个海鸥扇动翅膀足以永远改变天气变化。”在以后的演讲和论文中他用了更加有诗意的蝴蝶。对于这个效应最常见的阐述是“一个蝴蝶在巴西轻拍翅膀，可以导致一个月后德克萨斯州的一场龙卷风。”
蝴蝶效应通常用于天气，股票市场等在一定时段难于预测的比较复杂的系统中。
此效应说明，事物发展的结果，对初始条件具有极为敏感的依赖性，初始条件的极小偏差，将会引起结果的极大差异。
“蝴蝶效应”在社会学界用来说明：一个坏的微小的机制，如果不加以及时地引导、调节，会给社会带来非常大的危害，戏称为“龙卷风”或“风暴”；一个好的微小的机制，只要正确指引，经过一段时间的努力，将会产生轰动效应，或称为“革命”。

用心聆听
有一天，有一个老人，在他家的仓库里寻找着一些东西。由于仓库里十分闷热，加上老人的脾气也不大好，所以找了好久才找到他要的东西。
但是当他从仓库里走出来之后，他却突然发现他心爱的怀表不见了！那可是他的传家之宝，也是他最心爱的宝贝！于是他立刻走回去仓库里面，在寻找的当中也不停的埋怨。最后他有找到吗？正确答案，是没有的。
他非常不开心的坐在仓库的门口不停的埋怨，突然老人的孙女走了过来：“爷爷，你在烦恼什么呀？”老人回答说：“可爱的孙女啊，爷爷的怀表掉在仓库里面了，爷爷找了好久都找不到哦。”孙女回答：“不用紧的爷爷，我可以帮你找！”说完就走进去仓库了。
不到几分钟的时间，孙女就拎着怀表走出来了。爷爷十分惊奇，问道：“宝贝孙女！我刚刚找了整个小时都没有找到，怎么你一下子就找到啦？”孙女笑笑回答说：“爷爷，我刚刚走进去仓库里面，我静下心来，用心聆听怀表所发出来的微小声音，过后就朝着声音的方向去找，就这样找到啦！”
这故事的启示给我很大的感受，因为我们生活在忙碌的都市中，许多时候都为工作或为生计而忙碌。或许目前有一份工作，但工作也不是那么的顺心；或许我们有一份收入，但只是供期就没剩下多少了；或许我有个家庭，但却每天奔波而缺乏时间与家人相聚。当人心情不好的时候，就会每天在抱怨这个抱怨那个。
我们何曾有一段时间，用心聆听自己心里面所发出来的声音？想看看，这份工作是不是自己当初所期待的？目前的生活是否应该交给自己安排？我是每天见老板的时间比和家人相处的时间还多？
到底自己要的是什么？目前的状况能够达成你要的目标吗？停止埋怨，用心聆听自己和别人心里面的那句话，找到自己心中宝贝的那只怀表。

abnormal "normalities"
There was time when i was away from family, living outside for the sake of study. Then, i got busy with study, friends and all other activities. 24 hours a day wasn't all that much when you have a lot of tasks to be accomplished. Then, i call home less and less. I used to think that it was okay to take a break from family, because they will always be there for you.
Turn out, i am wrong. Changes occur every seconds. Then, i know i shouldn't take things for granted. Guess i was trying to get away from the problems.
Just realise that all the subtle changes that have taken places to the people and places that used to be familiar to me have accumulated and become a tremendous change. How can i ever miss that?
I realise that i seem to be more and more invisible from their life. I don't really know how to readapt if i were to go back for good. More importantly, my parent are getting older and siblings are getting taller and more mature. And, i wasn't there for them when they need me. Don't know what i can do now, guess i can only go with the flow. Only do what i can right now.
Oh well, it is all about exam associated syndrome again.

Dental tips-Avulsion
I am writing this to share some of the informations i learn from paying thousands to the university. And, i think these informations will seriously help to increase the chance of saving your tooth and your smile. So, take a few minute to read.
Avulsion is one of the common injury that can happen to anyone, especialy someone who are actively involve in sport. Avulsion can also happen in trauma, accident, trip over and in the case when excessive force is applied to the tooth or chin. So, what is avulsion? Avulsion is the total displacement of tooth out of the socket. And, it is importance that you know how to handle the tooth when it is outside your mouth.
A tooth is held in the socket via some elastic connector that we call Periodontal Ligament (PDL) in Dentistry. PDL attach to tooth and socket surfaces that contain living cells that have repair ability. Avulsion leads to complete breakage of the PDL. That means if you insert the tooth back into the socket soon enough, your tooth may have a chance to live by repairing itself. But, the chance for your tooth to live goes down with increased age and time lapse after accident. For example, your top front teeth will have complete tooth and root formation at about 13 yo, if the accident happened before 13 yo, the chance for you to save your top front tooth is increased. In a mature tooth, the tooth will still have pretty good chance of serving its function with appropriate dental treatment, such as root canal treatment.
Ok, Let's talk about how to handle your tooth. As I mentioned above, the surface of the avulsed tooth has living cell and part of the PDL, it is essential to prevent touching the tooth surface with your contaminated hand. Hence, pick the tooth up at the crown (top part of the tooth that you usually see in your mouth).
Then, give the contaminated root surface a rinse with solution of pH and osmolarity that provide optimal condition for the cells to live. The solutions suggested by my expensive textbook are cold milk, saline solution (even you contact les solution), saliva or some special solution that is used to store organs during transplant (but that is not practical, ambulance could have one). The above is the ideal management of avulsion. But if for some reason, you cannot replant the tooth, we have to talk about how to store the tooth.
Store it in one of the solutions suggested above, or in between your cheek. Remember, the time counts. Go to the dentist as soon as possible.
All the measures only apply to your permanent tooth, baby tooth that is avulsed shoud never be replanted. As a general guideline, your permanent front teeth erupt at 7-8.5 yo. So, front teeth that you have got before 7 should be baby tooth. The baby tooth may affect the permanent tooth underneath it-PERMANENTLY.
So, let's talk about some stastic now. It is said that tooth replanted in ideal position within 15 minutes in a person with immature tooth (below 13 yo) has a very high chance to live. Otherwise, there can be healing that lead to inflammation, union with the bone and eventual tooth loss. But everything happen after tooth replantation can be taken care of in the dental clinic. Every problem has a solution. If you are interested in knowing more, you can consult your dentist or even ask me. I will be more than happy to tell you.
Last but not least, i will reinforce the same old statement- Prevention is always better than treatment.
If you are driving, wear helmet or put on your seatbelt.
If you are involve in a sport or any activity that can put you at risk of orofacial injury, take some protective precautions. Ask your dentist for a custom made mouthguard and make sure you do utilise them. Remember children are more vulnerable than adult, take care of them too.
There are more knowledge about immediate treatment in trauma. I will talk about it more in the future.

no pain,no gain
总是隔一段时间,就会有新的烦恼.
人类永远都不会满足于现状, 这是铁一般的事实;
可是我们永远都在骗自己,
说,我很满足于现状,
我一点都不奢求上帝给我其他多余的东西.
说的那一刻可能真的因为某些事而感动,感恩.
可是,想法无时无刻都在转变.
这一刻想的东西好象很容易就会变.
要怎样把我的想法传达给我想传达的人.
更扯的是我自己也不相信自己是那样想的.
一个人的问题都已经很多了,
想到大人们要考虑的事情更多,更烦;
我的问题实在微不足到,
只能不要白白烦恼了.
我以前相信任何事情总有解决的方法,
我现在还是相信的.
想说,no pain no gain 这个道理是真的,
凡事尽力就好了,不要太钻牛角尖,
毕竟人生很短的,明天的事没有人会知道.

Google earth
虽然人生有时候很无奈,
可是如果把烦恼的事情换一个角度来看,
可能会有意外的收获.
打个比喻,我们平时看店面和建筑物都是往上看的,
试试从天上往下看,
你可能要花比你想象中还要久的时间来找出你的所在地.
信不信由你,蛮有趣的.
有兴趣,可以在 google earth 体验这道理.

Depression-yes or no
原谅自己很容易,原谅别人很难;
为什麽总是把自己的缺点缩小,把别人的缺点用显微镜放大;
为什麽要在鸡蛋里挑骨头,鸡蛋里明明只有蛋黄与蛋清;
为什麽要替我的生活制造问题? 问题已经很多了.
为什麽我总是遇见这种人?
不理了,先把学校的麻烦事解决.
忽然间,我觉得我不想说话了.好象也不想见人了.
我是不是得了depression????
讲到这里, 忽然间想起这个星期看的病人,
虽然他们的背景都很可怜,
可是我却觉得他们很烦,
是他们真的很烦,还是我近来累积的人性已经用得七七八八了.
是我有语言障碍吗? 可是之前还是好好的.
为什麽他们总是答非所问,明明是是非题,为什麽要用文章来回答?
真受不了.....
这星期,心情总结有点无奈,有点烦,还好有少许满足感,不然会depress.

莫名的失落感
忽然间,有一股莫名的失落感.
那种感觉好象有亲人要离开我,似曾相识的感觉.
可是连这种离别我也不能习惯的话.
明年毕业后,可能更少机会看见这里的朋友了.
都说是习惯了,还是需要一点点时间来调整吧.
四年了,我好象已经把他们都当成我的家人了.
至少,四年来我的人生都有他们的足迹.
人来人去,天下没有不散之宴席,把握现在吧.
重来没有想过五年的大学生活即将过去.
五年,比别人多了一些吧,我赚到了...
好好过剩下的日子吧.

不烦了
想通了,不再钻牛角尖,
有一些东西,拿得起,要学着放下;
还是老话一句, "凡事都有两面的, 不要太执著于不好的那一面".
这一阵子,想了很多,脑袋都快受不了.
忽然发现,我真的承受不了那麽多的压力,
原来我也只不过是一个普通人.
每天上完课,其实也没剩下几个小时可以活动,
与其烦恼,倒不如做一些有意义的事情.
好!浪费了三个很宝贵的星期,要好好过剩下的仅仅十个星期.
Dentistry 四年级,真的要好好过.
很快就要离开学校,可能我都不会再回到读书的生活,
我会好好珍惜的.
珍惜朋友,生活,病人,家人, 没有他们,我每天可能会过得很没意义. :)

虚线与实线
如果人与人之间有线连接着,
那麽线应该可以是实的也可以是虚的.
为什麽我总觉得和亲人的感觉象虚线,
有时,甚至比不上一个和你没有血缘关系的人.
在医院,和病人聊天,觉得病人告诉我的比家人还要多,
与病人,与朋友的互动好象比亲人多.
好象应该把虚线恢复到实线了.

天使在哪里
我想我这一辈子都不会忘记这一段艰苦的日子.
真希望,
每一天可以有多一点点时间,
每个星期有多一点点钱,

是我的,始终是我的
找房子找得很累了...原来要找我喜欢,中意的房子, 而且又正好出租, 屋主又刚好想租给我的, 很难, 真的蛮难的.
我喜欢的都已经住人了, 不喜欢的也好象蛮多人想要的.
算了,与其相信好的都已经被占了,还不如相信是我的,始终是我的.
这样子,我会活得比较快乐.

I am thinking too much
Yes, i like to think;
I like to guess and
i like to interpret ..
But, sometimes, a cue is not a cue;
It can only be a coincidence.
LOL, life goes on...

24th birthday
I am getting one year nearer to 30. I started to ask my friend, do i get to stay at 23 if i don't celebrate my birthday? ya, what a stupid question. But, sometimes, you need to be stupid and silly to make your life more relaxing. Heehee, any disagreement?
Well, i guess there is always something in your life that you need to accomplish at different age. I am at this age where i need to be responsible for my own behaviour, relationship and life. And, i think i am still learning on how to deal with people.This is really a life long learning subjects.
What do people do at their 24 yo birthday? i am going to spend my bday in the clinic with my patient. Well, i guess this is GOD's plan. You will never know what you will learn from each person.
I hate when weekend is over and monday is approaching, but i still need to be prepare for monday, I pray for everything that is gonna happen this week and every challenges that GOD has assigned to me.

smoker and the sputum
This morning, we got a referral from other clinic regarding a patient who need a full upper and partial lower denture. It was suppose to be a good new considering the shortage of patient this year.
5 mintues after the referral notice, i heard noises from the corridor in our cubicle. Then, i saw a guy with a ponytail, cowboy outfit with hat and boots.Ok, i know i shouldn't judge a person by appearance. Ok, i knew i was a bad person...But, deep down, i was thinking "this is not going to be an easy character to handle" . True enough, he turned out to be a difficult patient. You know, that kind of patient who grap every second to speak whenever your mirror and probe is not in his mouth. Oh my god, poor operator...( i wan't the operator)
In our conversation, actually part of the history taking process, i found out that he has been smoking for 47 years and 40-50 cigarette per day. Can you imagine the amount of cigarette he had been smoking? I believed
that his lung has turned into black colour, he might have black sputum as well.....ewl.... Well, i made a superficial advice for him to seek Quitline to quit smoking. Okay, stop pretending to be a great person. This was mainly because i didn't want to be a passive smoker and i didn't feel comfortable listening to the sound of smoker clearing their throat. Haha, of course that was also one of my job obligation that somehow coincide with my TRUE intention.
Well, at least i agreed with him that life is short and you do not know what is going to happen next in your life. I guess i will only understand him better if i knew what had happened to his life in the past. He might experience some traumatic incident that made his life extremely painful or totally changed.
Ya, there is always thing that you don't know about people. Sometimes, it is very interesting to find out what different people are thinking. I remember reading from someone else blog quoting a phrase "there is no stranger in this world but there are always friends that you haven't got to know yet." Yes, i couldn't agree more.
Guess what happen to the cowboy fellow in the end... He might ended up somewhere in the special need or the hand of some unlucky student. I would have taken care of him if i really need a patient, i believe that you will always learn something from dealing with different people. In the end, it is all gonna be part of your life.

my greed
As i mentioned in previous post, my desire of wanting to buy "stuffs" is never ending. The list is growing everyday...haha
1)PS II with eye toy- it is so nice if i can have that? :-[, i just come across this PSII that you can have a personal trainer and it estimates the calories that you have used up after you have completed each stage. Isn't it cool? perfect toy now if only i have enough money, i need a part time job.
2) car radio and cd player? really craze for one now. Another reason for which i need to start working soon.
3)New bedsheet and quilt cover- sick of the embroided quilt cover already...
4)more shoes, more clothings, more girl stuff; i still can't understand why girl need endless supply of accessory, clothings and shoes. Why is there always something to buy whenever i shop? That is also when i only have this little time to shop? Girls....Salute.
5)I think i am a very troublesome person, eventhough i need money so urgently, i actually want to choose my work......
- Cibo cafe? Restaurants? Clothing shops? flower shops? Fast food?
- Bear in mind that i have 0% experience of working, i wonder where i will end up in, heehee. Wait for my news.

4th year 1st sem officially end
I started my uni life 3 1/2 years ago, another 1 1/2 year till i leave uni, i thought i was looking forward to it, but i somehow step back when others tell me that working life is terrible. But, i guess i would really like to experient another stage of my life, i would appreciate it even if it is "terrible". Actually, i only want to earn some money,LOL. Enough of "poor" student life, sob sob.
Considering my age, i have been studying for more than 17 years. I have the feeling that exam is endless, it has already become part of my life now, is it good or is it bad? Perhaps, it shows that my adaptation ability is improving after so many years of education, should it be the exam tolerant? Probably, i need something more exciting to stimulate my nerve, haha.
After these years, i started to see my future, i think i only realise what i really want now. It is not a lot of money nor luxurious lifestyle, but easy and comfortable life. But, my definition of comfortable is elevating all the times, endless desires. I am just a normal human being afterall and most human being are motivated to live by greed.
Someday, I told my friend that we are really a bunch of kinda high maintenance people, but we kinda self-maintained, guess for the future too. But in exchange for the self-maintenance fee, we sacrify our time and money. People at our age play hard, enjoy their life to the fullest, though some are suffering with work too. So, i am not complaining, i am just expressing my thought. And, i love my life because i choose to live this way.
Somehow, at some stage of my life, i kinda feel lazy and scared. I just wanna step back and think of what i was doing. It was just so good if my soul can temporarily leave my body so that i can observe my movement and insanity, listen to my own nonsense and know myself better. Is it just me or everyone at some stage has such thought?
Anyway, i am just here to anounce that i have completed 70% of my BDS study, but that is only the study part. My clinical skill ar? probably still have a lot of room for improvement. All the best for everyone's life back in M'sia.

Techinical problem
Dear Techs Support Team:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 . I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child-processes that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities. Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3 , Cricket 5.0 , BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.
I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the 'uninstall' doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help! Thanks, "A Troubled User"
REPLY: Dear Troubled User: This is a very common problem that people complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this. (Look in your Wife 1.0 Manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support) .
I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the environment. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation. The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2 . However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Clothes 2.1 and Jewellery 5.0
WARNING: DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryWithShortSkirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.Best of luck,Tech Support

Ways of treating people
Treating other PeOpLe
An extract from an email:
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.During my second month of college, our professorgave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious studentand had breezed through the questions until I readthe last one:"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen thecleaning woman several times. She was tall,dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?I handed in my paper, leaving the last questionblank. Just before class ended, one student asked ifthe last question would count toward our quiz grade."Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,you will meet many people. All are significant. Theydeserve your attention and care, even if all you dois smile and say "hello."I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned hername was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the RainOne night, at11:30 p.m., an older African Americanwoman was standing on the side of an Alabama highwaytrying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car hadbroken down and she desperately needed a ride.Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.A young white man stopped to help her, generallyunheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The mantook her to safety, helped her get assistance, andput her into a taxicab.She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down hisaddress and thanked him. Seven days went by and aknock came on the man's door. To his surprise, agiant console color TV was delivered to his home. Aspecial note was attached..It read:"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highwaythe other night. The rain drenched not only myclothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.Because of you, I was able to make it to my dyinghusband's bedside just before he passed away... Godbless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."Sincerely,Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop andsat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him."How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked."Fifty cents," replied the waitress.The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coinsin it."Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress wasgrowing impatient."Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.The little boy again counted his coins."I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table andwalked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier andleft. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wipeddown the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, weretwo nickels and five pennies..You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to haveenough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway.Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would removethe huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants andcourtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudlyblamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none didanything about getting the stone out of the way.Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Uponapproaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden andtried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushingand straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked uphis load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road wherethe boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins anda note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person whoremoved the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned whatmany of us never understand!Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I gotto know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & seriousdisease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a bloodtransfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculouslysurvived the same disease and had developed the antibodies neededto combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her littlebrother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his bloodto his sister.I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath andsaying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed,he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing thecolor returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smilefaded.He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice,"Will I start to die right away".Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thoughthe was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
