Never loose an opportunity....

Dear Diary,

A young man wished to marry a farmer's beautiful daughter.  Hence, he asked her father for her hand in marriage.  The farmer looked him over and said,"Son, go stand out in that field.  I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time.  If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, I will allow you to marry my daughter."

The young man stood in the pasture awaiting for the first bull.  The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen.  It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.

He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull passed through the pasture out the back gate.

The barn door opened again.  Unbelievable! He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life.  It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him..  Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one.  So, he ran to the fence and let the bull passed through the pasture, out the back gate.

The door opened the third time, a smile came across his face.  In front of him was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen.  This one was his bull.  As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at the exact moment.  

He grabbed..... but the bull had no tail!!!!

Life is full of opportunities, some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult....

But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be available....

So, always grab the first opportunity.....

Heart touching story.....A Second chance.....

Dear Diary,

It was their anniversary, and she was waiting for her husband to show up.  Things had changed since their marriage, the once cute couple who couldn't-live-without-each-other had turned sour and bitter.

Fighting over every little things, both didn't like the way things had changed.  Now, she was waiting to see if her husband remembered their wedding anniversary....

Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling without anything on his hand.  And not a single word came from his mouth.  Perfect! Just perfect! He has forgotten about the anniversary again.... She just silently walked away to the kitchen with tears on her cheeks.

Suddenly, the phone in the kitchen rang and she went and picked it up.  There is a man on the other line. "Hello ma'am, I'm calling from the police station. I'm sorry ma'am, but there is an accident and a man died. We got this number from his wallet, and we need you to come and identify his body".  Her had sank and she was really devastated.  

"But my husband is here with me?"...  "Sorry ma'am, but the incident took place at 2pm, when he was boarding the train".  She was about to lose her conscience. How could this happen? She heard about the soul of the person coming to meet a love one before it leaves!

She ran into their master bedroom. He was not there.  It's true! It's really happened! He had left her for good!!  At that time, she really wished that things can be undone, that she get another chance to mend every little fight! She would do anything to get him back and tell him how much she love him and how much he meant to her..... Now she lost her chance forever.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the bathroom, the door opened and her husband came out and said "Darling, I forgot to tell you that my wallet got stolen today".....

LIFE MIGHT NOT GIVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE.... 

SO NEVER WASTE A MOMENT WHEN YOU CAN STILL MAKE UP FOR YOUR WRONGS!!!

No one is promised tomorrow.  So have a wonderful life with no regrets!

Unexplained Breakup?

Dear Diary,

A break-up can be hard, but an unexplained one can be ever harder.  You were left wondering what you have done, and whether it was your fault, or if there was anything you could have done to save the relationship.

It can be very hard and the worst thing is that you start thinking what went wrong, whose fault, etc, and sometimes you started blaming yourself or put sole responsibility to yourself. 

• Examine the relationship deeply for what may have gone wrong.  What make you and your partner unhappy?  What make your partner choose to break the relationship instead of trying to work things out first? 
• Maybe your partner has moved on or moving in into a new relationship. Maybe your partner has decided that enough is enough with your flirtatious attitude?
• If you partner says it's her/his fault, not yours, don't assume it is a lie.  Sometimes, it is really true.

You deserve an explanation at the very least.  So try to ask what really went wrong.  State that you should know the truth so you can learn and improve in the next relationship.  Don't use angry or accusatory language, please.  All relationships can teach you something and it is worth learning what things you should improve.  Nevertheless, if you don't get an answer, try to let it go.  It is not your fault you aren't getting an answer, just let it go as best as you can, and move on.

Don't blame yourself for what happened unless you can point to ways in which you were responsible.  You partner made the decision to mysteriously break-up.  You can only be responsible for decisions you make, not those of others. 

Hence, please avoid feeling sorry for yourself.  Try to work towards happiness again.  Many think that they won't love again, but trust me you will eventually find someone that worth your love.  So relax and let it happen in its own time.  

Just take your time and work through the pain, and you will come out on the other side, stronger and better.
