i know i dont have much experience about this...so i cant really give u much advise...but...i find these few quotes pretty "inspiring":

"Too often, the thing u want most is the thing u cant have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. But as tough as wanting sth can be, the ppl who suffer most, are those who dont know what they want."

"Pain. You just have to ride it out. You can only hope that it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answer... u just have to take a deep breath and wait for it to subside."

"Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future."

"Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point we all have to choose: do we fall back on what we know, or do we step forward to something new? It's hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us... what guides us. Our history resurfaces time after time after time. So we have to remember sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today."

In the end only kindness matters

Just saw the news about the Sichuan earthquake and the Burma cyclone...it certainly doesnt feel good looking at those ppl ....many of them have lost their loved ones, their homes and they are all so hopeless...and yet i cant really do anything besides donating money...

but once again, i realised i am so lucky. staying at home, having a satifsying dinner, with my family. i just cant imagine how life could carry on when there is a big disaster which all of a sudden took my love ones.

then all of a sudden, it makes me wonder: what the hell am i doing right now...

i have to stop hea-ing.

i want to make a difference in other ppl's lives.

i want to save lives.

i want to help ppl when they needed ppl to help them most.

<this is not related to the 2 disasters> some ppl might think that this future "job" (to me, this is a career) guarantees a good income, a "worry-free" life... blah blah blah. but i think it's about helping ppl. taking up the responsibilty to care about ppl. and not just think what others can do for u, but think what u can do for the others.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

p.s. i just HATED the way reporters asked the victims in a disaster (EVERY SINGLE TIME): how do u feel losing ur family and home? what do u think about this disaster? where are ur family members?

what do u want them to say? that they are soooo HAPPY losing their loved ones and their own world? cant they just put into ppl's shoes...the ppl there are so desperate and helpless already.... (of course reporters got what they wanted: to show the condition of the disaster and how catastrophic it is) so....SPARE THEIR LIVES....make their lives a LITTLE TINY bit easier PLEASE. PLEASE. REALLY.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the victims in these two disasters:

Hands
by Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idled with despair
I'll gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
'cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

My hands are small, i know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
We are never broken

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's eyes

this is certainly a wake-up call after talking to u guys.... (i guess i started to understand what u guys are trying to say to me...)

hey, i know u will never c this but this is what i learnt today and how i feel right now:

all along, i have been only thinking about myself. me. i.

everything is just ME ME ME ME ME.

i have totally neglected how YOU feel, and i just blame y u are keeping a distance with me...avoiding me...i was so bitter when u did that to me...

i thought we have been supporting each other when either of us are sad and sharing happiness and... just.... everything we went through....

i failed to put myself into ur shoes. 

instead i such a jerk that i always think: y me? y do u have to do this to me...? what u said to me is not going to save the world...?

i realised i am such a stupid self-centered nerd, a jerk. i am sooo selfish....

and u deserve WAY more better than that. i sincerely want to apologize.

but i just dont want to lose a very best friend becoz of this...

How To Save A Life lyrics

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
