Love is what makes a life worthwhile

Imagine this:

You had been working on a group project for 2weeks straight, less play and less sleep.
Then one of your group member just come up from nowhere,
flip through your 'sweat and blood' and said
"Useless!"

Lets add some spices to the story...

(Scenario A)

You burned with anger and disappointment that your project was not well appreciated.
You sulked and excuse yourself to get a drink.
When you came back to the group, you unintentionally overheard their conversation
"This is total crap!"
"I wonder did he/she even put any effort.."
"Total disappointment le! I seriously cannot believe lo"

(Scenario B)

You burned with anger and disappointment that your project was not well appreciated.
You sulked and excuse yourself to get a drink.
As you went to get your drink, one of your group member caught up with you.
He/she said
"I can see that the portion that you prepared was very well done. But it wasn't what we wanted.
We are actually focusing on a different point of view towards the topic.
Maybe you could have done it *blah blah blah*. Keep it up! :)"
When you came back to the group, you unintentionally overheard their conversation
"This is total crap!"
"I wonder did he/she even put any effort.."
"Total disappointment le! I seriously cannot believe lo"

Now, think again. What will you feel in both scenario?
*Honestly, I will definitely dislike my group members for criticizing me so badly. :P*

In Scenario A, I would have given up on my project if my semester results doesn't depend on it. I would have given up on my members as well.

As for Scenario B, that one member that came after me is the key person that will pull me through this situation. After all, it's my fault that I did the wrong project.

If only there are more key person like that all around. Someone who actually sees your value. They see the 360 degree of you, not just your mistakes and failures but also sees you as a human being with feelings.
Don't judge a book by its cover, they say. But how many people dislike others just because they do not like what they see??
Can there be more love around? Would YOU share this love around?

A beloved friend and brother once quoted this:

Love does not make the world go round but love is what makes a life worthwhile..

Will you go and make someone's life worthwhile?

Prayer Answered without realization

I am so grateful that I am a Christian, that I get to know my God and having Him knowing me back..
I had been in a really stressful situation lately and I was struggling really hard to find an answer and if possible, a solution.
So, I prayed and asked for a sign from God a couple of days ago. But the next day, I found that things turned out more complicated. And I was really in a dilemma.
Then today, I brought up the issue in prayer to God once again. The moment I asked
"why the issue turn out to be more complicated? Why did it happened the way it did??"

*whamp!*

I realized that the complication is actually a solution to my situation... I just hadn't been looking at it in a 360 angle.

Glory to God! He works in ways no one can understand. And I definately took few days to understand an answered prayer.

Focus, Beatrice, Focus..

I'm so tired of myself always being so unfocused.
Just when I thought that I'll be able to focus my mind and give my 100% into it, I side-tracked just because I stumbled into something else that interests me.
I'm kinda fed-up with this attitude of mine. Why can't I just concentrate on one thing and loose focus on everything else?
That's the new-age weakness: Multi-tasking!
Sigh~~~ I wish I could be a good girl and keep my focus on this one thing and not the 'interesting' stuff that just pops up from nowhere.
