thought-provoking day

Today 'wo bao' got 2 meaningful articles...

one was english one, sth abt lanterns and stars which tell the story abt a wealthy king bring his little son to visit the poor, then the king asked the son what he learnt:

he answered: 'we have one dogs, they have 4; we have a garden but they have fields that spread for miles; we have a pond but they have a creek that flows endlessly; we have imported lanterns but they can see the whole sky of stars;we have ppl to serve us, but they serve others...thanks dad for showing how poor we are'

meaningful.

another was a chinese article on how to be calm and charismatic. In it, it talked abt zhu ge liang. wow, i din noe zhu ge liang got wife one, and wow i din noe zhu ge liang got taste one, he din fall for some prettylicious babe but a average looking woman with a great brain. *salute*

came home watch 'human spirit', today 2nd part on malcom (alzheimer patient) and barbara (his loving wife who took care of him till his last day). the documentary was filmed over 11 years, and we saw how a talented musician is reduced to a little boy and later, into a pack of skeletons. it is very very sad. like what barbara said: only love can make her go through all this...'
