My dad and I ...

When I was 4 years old: My dad is the best .

When I was 6 years old: My dad seems to know everyone.

When I was 10 years old: My dad is excellent but he is short tempered.

When I was 12 years old: My dad was nice when I was little.

When I was 14 years old: My dad started being too sensitive.

When I was 16 years old: My dad can't keep up with modern time.

When I was 18 years old: My dad is getting less tolerant as the days pass by.

When I was 20 years old: It's too hard to forgive my father, how could my mum stand with him all these years.

When I was 25 years old: My father seems to be objective to everything I do.

When I was 30 years old: It's very difficult to be in agreement with my father, I wonder if my grandfather was troubled by my father when he was a youth.

When I was 40 years old: My father brought me up with alot of discipline, I must do the same !

When I was 45 years old: I am puzzled how did my father manage to raise all of us.

When I was 50 years old: It's rather difficult to control my kids, how much did my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us.

When I was 55 years old: My dad was far looking and had wide plans for us, he was gentle and outstanding.

When I was 60 years old: My dad is THE BEST.

Note that it took 56 years to complete the cycle and return to the starting point " My dad is The Best" .

Let's be good to our parents before it's too late and pray that our children will treat us even better than the way we treated our parents.

Don't complicate the simple things.

There is a funny story i would like to share with you all.

During the beginning period of the space program, NASA was seeking for a pen that can be used in the space:

-It must be applicable in any directions.
-It can function in vacuum space.
-The ink does not really need to be refilled.

NASA was taking this matter seriously and they thought many scientists would start studying to invent this kind of pen.


After three days, they received a fax from Germany, written: "try pencil before?"

Don't make simple things complicated. Sometimes when we are facing a problem, try to calm ourselves down and think : "Is this problem really that complicated?"
