Moral Stories Part 2
Moral story from friend's email (Part 2)
TOO BUSY FOR A FRIEND One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much, "were most of the comments.
No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.
Several years later, one of the students was killed in
Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.
The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."
After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.
"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."
Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.
" 'Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."
All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."
Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."
"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary"
Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists"
That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.

A GLASS OF MILK
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for water! She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"
You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Many years' later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be kind and helpful! You never know what your kindness and helping nature will get you back****************************************************************************************************
EXCELLENCE
A gentleman once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby.
Surprised he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage."
The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" asked the gentleman.
"There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work.
"Where are you going to install the idol?"
The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I know it!"MORAL OF THE STORY: The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. Excellence is a drive from inside, not outside. Excel at a task today - not necessarily for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T
WE??
This stories was told by my friend partially and finally found whole stories from website.
This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious. He checked the nail.
It was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built !!!
What happened? The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years!
In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.
Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years! Without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past
Please never abandon your loved ones.

She is a woman of strength who holds belief in God and strength.
For 13 years, our siblings and I had been searching for alternative cure which help her to lesser her pain during her chemo treatment. On 2013, fluid filled at her lung after done drainage procedure.
After 6 month (2013), her doctor
told us that her cancer has reached to her final stage. She was sent to hospice
on Aug 2013.
Not even a week in hospice, we were
informed that my sister is dying and also breathless. We rush to hospice to bring
her back since her wish is to spend her last day at home.
My eldest sister and I keep praying
to Jesus for help even I’m a free thinker. Miracle, happen on next days, she
was able to speak and take some fluid. For few nights, I stay at her bedside.
There is total no medicine but pain
killer to relieve her pain. We hopeless but to continue to give her some of
alternative food or cure that believed may help cancer. She able to eat, write
and watch television. Her complexion also improved and fluid at lung area also
reduced. The hospice nurses and her church friends were very surprise of her
recovery. Until to 4th week the fluid has fluid full again. Nurse
told me that it will be very painful if the lung unable to hold fluid.
I seek hospice doctor to drain her
fluid out at hospital. Very unfortunately, emergency doctor refuse
to drain as her last admitted record stated that nobody allow proceed draining.
She also unable goes back as they need to do more tests. I feared her condition
will become worst as she has fear staying at hospital. Finally, her doctor
allowed us to bring her back to spend her last days. The last night at
hospital, I was with her whole night, I still recalled that she sudden wake up
in the mid of night and told me that we can go through again once more time.
The following day after doctor has
injected her pain killer due to breathless. She did not wake up and spend her
last day days at home, she did not feel much pains. I feel that the alternative
cure help her to relieve her pain and help her to fight cancer.
She called back home by God on 21 Sept.
2013 without suffering of pain.
Below are some alternative ways and
cure that I would like to share with you. There are many ways you can fight
cancer. One must build up the immune system so to fight against the life
threating disease.
However, below alternative cure is
depends on individual and medication taken to combine.
ABC Juice
ABC Juice
5 years ago, a friend from cook
class recommended this drink to me when she learned my sister has cancer. She
told me that she read a Taiwan author whom cured his cancer by taking beetroot.
In1950s that Hungarian physician Alexander Ferenczi shone a bright spotlight on
the power of beetroot against can cancer. Beetroot have betacyanin content
helped slow the growth of tumors by 12.5 percent in patients with breast and
prostate cancer.
This drink is a hope for cancer patients. My sister has been taking beetroot for 5 year and it help to effectively reduce risk of threatening disease by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
This drink is a hope for cancer patients. My sister has been taking beetroot for 5 year and it help to effectively reduce risk of threatening disease by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
This miracle drink contains alpha
and beta carotenes and lutein that I believe help cancer and also promote heart
health, memory, anti-inflammatory and enhances the brain functioning.
Sabah Snake Grass
Scientific name : Clinacanthus Nutas
Chinese name : Yu Xun Cao δΌιθ
Local name : Belalai Gajah and Gendis
I came to know when my brother told that rumor from internet that I came to know from my brother that Liu Lian Hui (Malaysian) was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphatic cancers. He managed to survive after taking SSG.
I blend Sabah Snake Grass with green apple for my sister. Her blood test passed with flying color before chemo and has good appetite.
You can find this herb at Chinatown Herb Shop / Chinatown vegetable seller/ Clementi RC (near sunset - Look for Mr. Tan)
Saffron
I came to know about saffron help
cancer from a Malay lady when my sister was at hospital for her chemo
treatment. This lady told me that she already 3rd stage when she
discovered she has cancer. Similar like us, we search and seek for alternative
cure. Her children told her that she saw some information that helps reduce
risk of cancer. According to her, she took every day and her tumor size has
reduce to very tiny (hardly can see) according to her.
I did a searched and found this.
Dr. Oz explained that cancer cells
grow through bringing and building their own blood supply in your body.
The saffron can actually enter the cancer cells and send a signal that causes
the cancer to “commit suicide.” Dr. Oz even said that saffron may
be the cure for cancer in the future. Saffron is not a cheap spice, it is
around $8 per small box, but you only need a small pinch.
Every
morning, she drink water mixed with a few string of saffron mixed with plain water. Amazing she told me that it
help to relieve her pain significantly when she was at stage 4th.
Apricot kernels
A few
months of her final stage, I accidently found a site with a movie “A World
Without Cancer”.
It is
interesting movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYMduufa-E
that introduce using apricot
kernels as alternative cure.
My sister
took Apricot kernels that believe to contain amygdalin (Vitamin B17). It is
believe that it attacks cancer cells and can help prevent cancer from breaking
out in our bodies.
Amygdalin seems to have unique in
the way that it directly attacks cancer cells. Amygdalin is sometimes referred
to as Vitamin B17. This site explain http://www.cancertutor.com/laetrile/
She eat by chewed or we ground
kernels can be sprinkled on bread. It doesn’t really taste bitter. It is better
to gradually increase the number of kernels day by day with increase of water.
Gerson Therapy
Gerson
therapy (http://www.gerson.org/)
involves
a very specific diet with nutritional supplements. It aims to rid the body of
toxins and strengthen the body’s immune system. Need to drink alot of crushed
fruit and vegetables. Recommend many
of the various kinds of green leaves such Lettuce, red cabbage leaves (2-3
leaves), beet root leave (young inner leaves), swiss chard, escarole, endive,
romaine, green pepper (1/4 of s mall one). Kale and collards are especially
nutritious garden greens.
I did not follow all Gerson therapy exactly, I give her
as much green vegetable that I can find at our supermarket i.e. Lettuce, endive, romaine, carrot and apple as much as
possible.
These
juices help her to relieve pains at her final stage of her life.
Budwig Diet
Dr
Budwig was using Organic Flaxseed Oil combined with Organic Low Fat Cottage
Cheese in preventing and curing Cancer and Chronic Diseases. Dr Budwig discovered
that when she combined Flaxseed oil, with its’ powerful healing nature of
essential electron rich unsaturated fats, and cottage cheese, which is rich in
sulfur protein, the chemical reaction produced makes the oil water soluble and
easily absorbed into the cell membrane.
The
mixing ratio is two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Mix
only the amount you are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each and
every time.
I
mixed these mixture and sprinkle some grind Apricot kernels for her morning
breakfast. She feels great and do not feel so tired.
Aloe Vera
Use used topical Aloe Vera gel to
treat dry or damaged skin, burns and cuts aloe resulted from affect
chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Antioxidant vitamin may reduce effectiveness
of chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatments. The risks of vitamins C,
E, and beta carotene of affecting chemotherapy or radiation therapy are quite
low
Hope this information is useful to
those wanted to seek for alternative information but may subjected to
individual health condition. Readers

health and wellbeing.

After many years as caregiver,
feel like something is missing. I really missed her friendly simile.
